Mossiaries? Chia Statuaries? Over the Topiaries?

Thx for the info!

I'd say they're somewhat in-between but closer to topiary than float. They do have wire frame and/or sculpted supports, but they are live plants that are still trimmed a bit and continue growing throughout the festival, requiring regular trimming and maintenance - unlike Rose Bowl floats which are cut flowers/plants that die after a few days.

They are not traditional topiary. There are some actual Topiary at Epcot in the jumping fountain garden at the Imagination Pavilion. The characters are “wire frame topiary sculptures” Still in the topiary family so using that term isn’t “wrong” - but not the traditional or purist definition.

That wasn’t even the reason I came to the comment section today. I was curious from those in the know whether these displays are really correctly called “topiary”. They are attractive and do have plants in them, but it doesn’t look like they are pruned and shaped to get their form. They feel more like Rose Bowl floats. I may be wrong - glad to be informed.

Noah is absolutely sincere about his love for Disney and retro Disney music.

Ok I started this sub-thread and admit to being a little torn. I was not familiar with Bob Moline so I love the call back. I like the presence of more traditional music. I was a little caught off guard the first time I watched the video. The presentation of the singer felt awkward and almost so deliberately retro I wasn’t sure if it was sincere. I think it’s the fake hair. So I have since come to just accept it and leave it alone.

Ok. That’s your opinion. This is literally everything I want from Disney haha. Fun, quirky, based on nostalgia, etc.

My point exactly.

I didn't say otherwise. But it's so inside baseball that the dude is just cringe to me. Sorry, but he is.

Oh it's definitely very inside baseball. It's nice they included the reference, though; but I can absolutely see how the wig might be very distracting for the 99.99% of viewers who don't get the reference.

Isn’t that exactly what we want? All these little winks and nods to the history of Disney. Having locomotives named Roger Broggie and Ward Kimball is very inside baseball too.
