The History of Kitchen Kabaret & Food Rocks at EPCOT Center

Thank you, folks, for coming to my channel 🥦🍅🥕🧀

The last time I went to a Disney Park was back in 2002 when I was 13. My family saw Food Rocks. Even at the time, I thought the show animatronics looked cheap. Especially compared to animatronics of Kitchen Kabaret, judging from what I've seen in this video.

So well made! I loved Food Rocks as a kid! Great script, especially the line "The content had become SPOILED" 😂 🧀 🥦 🍅 🎶 🎵

There was a spin-off educational cartoon called "Harold and His Amazing Green Plants" animated by Kurtz and Friends. It starred the Broccoli, Eggplant, and Tomato and a little boy named Harold--it ran on the Disney Channel quite a bit. There was a similar spin off series for Wonders of Life, too.

Miss the fact I never got to see Kitchen Kabaret in person for myself. Closest thing EPCOT had to Country Bear Jamboree. Would have loved it I think :( Thanks for preserving this by making a video on it! Happy late Thanksgiving! Take care! :D

This is one of my favourite rides at DW, was it good when I was 13 and we went? Yeah, it was fine... but my dad sang "Veggie, veggie, fruit, fruit" for the rest of his life!

A perfect Thanksgiving treat 😌

I kinda wish it was still there

I live too far away from Disney, and I'm a 2000s person, but Kitchen Kabaret looked so awesome! Food Rocks on the other hand, while I adore the concept, the execution is not so good [not helping matters is the Nestle sponsorship]. But honestly, I love anthromorphic food characters, there's something super charming about them. You can thank Will Vinton, amongst other, for my love of anthromorphic food. As much as I hate Mars as a company, I still adore the M&Ms characters, and I also really love The California Raisins. The Raisins kind of edge out the M&Ms as my favorite anthro food mascot due to being Claymation. There's something charming about Claymation that I think cannot be recaptured by any other animation style. Speaking of Will Vinton, he was going to make his own theme park called Claymation Station, but his financial issues prevented the park from opening. It's a huge shame, because I adore the concept of Claymation Station so much. Hey Storybook Amusement, have you seen the documentary Claydream? It's a really bittersweet story. I feel really bad for Will Vinton, he wanted to be like Walt Disney, but everything went wrong for him.

25:51 hehehehe. They won’t find me here. Hey look Lois! I’m in some guys video!!

This feels like it was made for me

how hard was it to write this script with this many food puns jdflsjflkd

Great job!

they did a battle of the bands once in 2021

Where did you get the Kitchen Kabaret instrumentals?

25:01 26:04 27:45 Where did you get the soundtrack? without the crowd noise

The Sherman Brothers wrote and scored the show for the original kitchen cabaret

What's the background music at the start of the video?

Why would they get rid of such a cool show!?! Geez I wonder what replaced it??😒 Okay fair enough….

I only saw this once and it was terrible. Just horribly written and sub-Disney design. The kind of thing you expect from a knockoff amusement park. Even my mother hated it. Second-worst attraction to Superstar Limo.
