(Wanna know a cool fact about this promo that may or may not be true? Keep reading, I'll get to it. :D)
This is from the end of the same tape I used for the Trailer Reel upload of "The Little Mermaid". I was thinking on whether or not to include this along with the credits of that film, as that has a TV channel-like announcement at the beginning of the credits there as a reminder of the EuroDisney promo straight after the film but I felt it would be a lot better to upload this as its own video.
Someone else already posted this promo in clear quality but it was in the promo's original language, French. This is the English-dubbed version from an official Disney VHS from that time and...gosh, as nerdy and dorky as it sounds, this promo never fails to give me goosebumps. Especially since, now HERE'S the cool fact I mentioned at the beginning of this description here...I could be wrong, but see that shot of the lake at the end? That atmospheric, beautiful shot at the end that reveals the shape of the lake that the family were picnicing on? Well after being in Disneyland Paris so often and recognizing how that looks...it seems that THAT LAKE is what Lake Disney in the EuroDisney resort looked like before they built the hotels on either side, the bridges and everything. A genuinely mind-blowing twist to a promo that would warrant it a little extra immortality than it would have otherwise. Also a little bittersweet, if you're opposed to the idea of EuroDisney OR Disneyland Paris at all *or* the notion of natural sites being transformed for uses of public tourism. Either way, if I'm right in this, its an incredible way to end a simple 5-minute promo made specifically for tourism. But if not, its still a great promo for a genuinely wonderful place to spend 3-5 days in. :)
Enjoy!

![[AUDIO RESTORED*] Prince - The Black Album UK Advert (1994)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qDGiHm2CueU/mqdefault.jpg "[AUDIO RESTORED*] Prince - The Black Album UK Advert (1994)
*Speculatively restored, going by visual cues in the advert itself - details below.
So...I was gonna wait until around the date this album got officially released or the day/month anniversary of when this perticularly rare, unique ad was broadcast (24th November 1994, thanks to SozLike back in 08) but...I couldnt wait. x)
This is obviously NOT my own capture, but now that I could see people managed to upload this album on YT without troubles, thought now would be a good time to get a version up where all the musics there.
NOW, as said above this is all speculative. Gotta hand it to the marketing department behind this ad though, for *some* reason, they decided to give the played music names and When 2 R In Love plays, the lyrics are even there. So using the titles of tracks displayed prominently enough and using those little stereo bars there, I got a rough idea what played and where. No idea how close I actually am to the real thing, though if one day a *much* nicer quality version of this could be uploaded with the real audio, that would be cool. For now, heres this~
I listened to the album a few years ago after finding this ad. It was okay. The mystique behind the album is more interesting than the album *itself*. Im also glad Warner decided not to re-release this as part of making the rest of Princes back-catalogue avaliable online and on streaming (naughty naughty, capitalism), though if they ever decide to re-release it as a posthumous thing...yeah...dunno what Ill do with this upload at that point.
Also wanna know two more things:
1) I put some subtle VHS distortion sound on here too so it would all be more organic.
And 2) Apologies that the video quality is not fantastic, hardly much I can do about that. 240p was the highest resolution avaliable and attempts to boost the framerate to something more accurate made it look like *butt*, so there we are.
R.I.P. Prince. I ought to get on eBay and buy your albums on physical CDs cause dang it, I miss you.")
