Thu 9/26/2002 2:26p | Many of the animated features have taken place in full or in part in London, Paris or New York. Consequently a number of world-famous landmarks have appeared in Disney movies (Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the UN building).
Excluding any sites in those three cities, name 5 animated features that contain at least one recognizable landmark - and of course identify the landmark(s) as well.
("The Jungle Book" doesn't count. King Louie's ancient ruins may have been modeled after Cambodia's Angkor Wat, but since the movie is set in India, they're not the same.)
Have fun. :-)

Thu 9/26/2002 6:19p | That big rock in Rescuers Down Under (I forget the name of it). Also the Sydney Opera House.
The Sphynx in Aladdin.
The Great Wall of China in Mulan.
The Temple of Zeus in Hercules. I think it was one of the wonders of the ancient world.
I'm stuck for a 5th one. Does the Dhrist of the Andes statue appear in Saludos Amigos?
Back Saturday.

Mon 9/30/2002 1:13p | You get it, basil fan. I know there were problems with the boards over the weekend, but I don't want to hold things up by waiting for other answers.
You are right about Aladdin, Mulan and The Rescuers Down Under (BTW, I can't recall the name of that big rock either, but it was what I had in mind). Also a pat on the back to brotherdave for mentioning the pyramids as well.
I've only seen Hercules once and that was in the theaters in '97, so I didn't recall what specifically would have been shown, but I knew that there had to be something from ancient Greece that appeared, like the Acropolis.
I don't know about Saludos Amigos, though.
I had one other in mind when I posted the question, and then another one occurred to me.
The one I had in mind was Lilo & Stitch. This is an interesting one, since the inclusion of some of these is subject to interpretation:
1) There is a scene about 20-30 minutes into the movie where L&S are near a tourist shop. You can see various postcards that are being sold, but for no good reason, many are from places other than Hawaii. The one landmark I recall seeing was the Seattle Space Needle. The scene flashed by, so I don't know if there were any others.
2) When Stitch builds himself a city to destroy, he makes San Francisco, complete with Golden Gate Bridge (granted, it's not an authentic depiction).
3) During the spacecraft chase at the end, they leave Kauai and wind up on the Big Island. You see the Kilauea volcano (at Volcanoes National Park).
4) At the very end, amidst the snapshots depicting the "Happily Ever After" scenes, Diamondhead is in the background of one picture, and then finally they go to Graceland!
The one that occurred to me after the posting is a stretch, because the landmark is not recognizable in a visual sense. But many people familiar with the story of Noah's Ark from the book of Genesis know that the ark settled on Mount Ararat. So it appeared at the end of the "Pomp and Circumstance" segment of Fantasia 2000.
Smile - it's just a game.

Mon 9/30/2002 4:10p | Thanks for the leniency.
Oops! I meant Christ of the Andes.
Okay, the phrase "Little Mermaid" is heard in a Disney movie other than The Little Mermaid. Name the movie.
