Tell-No-Tales Thursdays: The 3 Minstrels—Up Close & Personal



I love entering this particular scene; you are greeted by the "singing" donkey as well as these three minstrels. Can Debbie Reynolds be very far away? Or was that a mule. Either way, this barnyard favorite is accompanying the minstrel trio standing nearby. Although it appears that these hairy chested fellers could use a little paint touch up at the time these photos were taken, the expressions on their face and other detailings make them much more than just machines; all the characters on this attraction are works of art.









Here is a vintage view of the trio; not much has changed for them over the years:

Dang, those pirates sure wear some bright colors. They obviously wash those clothes with Tide so that they don't fade.

Just like the Haunted Mansion, all the AAs have on bright clothing so that they colors look normal with the low-lighting. And yes...Tide must be part of the equation!
