Imagine you are taking the whole family along for a day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Once in the park and on Sunset Boulevard, the thrill-seekers in your party wanted to ride either the Rock N’ Roller Coaster or the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, only to be dismayed that they have to sit through the Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage at the Theater of the Stars. You know that they hate that show, thinking it was lame and uncool, but whether your little princess-fanatic nieces or daughters are with you, you think this is pure Disney bliss in its finery. Midway through the piped music-spiked production, after the thrill ride-loving family members have endured the strains of “Belle” and the infectious “Be Our Guest,” something goes horribly wrong as Belle and Adam, in his Beast form, duet in “Something There” - Adam’s pants sags as he roams across the stage and embarrassingly pulls it up as Belle sings the bridge of the Alan Menken song, and he keeps this up until the end of the number. You and your family, even your coaster-lovers who hate the show, laugh and find it so funny.
That predicted moment came true, thanks to a submitter on the famous FailBlog.org, notable and notorious for an obscene inflatable slide and that moment when Victoria Kirkorov scared her son, the Bulgarian-Russian pop stud-muffin Philipp Bedrovich, on stage during “1000 Years.” What is Adam thinking - is he obscenely paying tribute to the late, great Michael Jackson? Do the four theme parks at Walt Disney World enforce a dress code pertaining to sagging pants, a pet peeve most of us modesty-loving conservatives love to hate? I don’t know, but the Beast is trying to hide, er, his “beast” in the show. Besides, the show won’t be just as memorable if the Beast version of Adam uses a belt to keep his tattered blue trousers up. The wardrobe malfunction, milder than that of Janet Jackson’s over 5 years ago, must’ve been a way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman described the Disney’s Hollywood Studios show based on the 1991 film as a “tale as old as time,” but the incident that made it on FailBlog.org was - indeed - “something there that wasn’t there before.”
