What Cinderella Castle Should Look Like

Wouldn't it be nice to say that the new color scheme of Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom was well done? I tried. I really did, but I just can't say it with any integrity. Here's what the castle looked like at night as shown on the 1972 annual report. Not only were the colors stunning, but with huge trees and twinkling lights next to each side, there really was magic in the air. The Imagineers of old knew what they were doing, but the ones in charge of the new 2020 paint scheme have made a big, big, mistake. In fact, it's a 189 foot tall mistake.
