Episode 47: The Alice White Canon Classification System

Those Happy Places

In this categorically profound episode, Alice and Buddy sit down to talk about a system Alice has devised to categorize and better understand how Intellectual Properties are deployed through Theme Parks, Rides, Attractions, and Themed Lands. How do some of our favorite IP-based places fit into the categories of Classic, Abstract, Extra-Canon, and Anti-Canon? Listen in and find out!

Talking Points include: Fantasyland’s Dark Rides, the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, the Incredicoaster, Guardians of the Galaxy- Mission: Breakout, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye, Star Tours, Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, Transformers: The Ride: 3-D, the Jurassic Park River Adventure, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Escape from Gringotts, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, and more!
