Looks like they got the best seat in the house.

big contrast between the overcharged façade and the playful sign...

What makes this shot is the line of people at the bottom. I presume they are lined up to give their money to the Disney Corporation. If so, it's a sad commentary on our consumer culture. I can understand a bread line, I can't understand the notion of standing in line to give some big company my money for something I don't need. Perhaps it is a reaction to my time in the military, but I will not stand in line for anything unless I am forced to, and I most especially will not stand in line to give someone else my money.

@Twelvebit: Well one of Hollywood's famous theater is located right next to Disney store and I believe that long line is ticket line for a movie. But that particular Disney store is always crowded like hell.

Disney Corporation sure knows how to market.
Very cool shot.

I agree with those above. This is a fantastic image of people who seem so totally sold on Disney Corporation’s marketing of their products that they seem to be descending into a way of living almost as unreal and untenable as the make-believe imaginary characters on the sign. Truly exceptional work again, dear Amir. I love it.

they're just trying to buy a bit of happiness for their kids. Cool framing.

@Hamid: May be that is true as well. Most people buy happiness or get by everyday just by spending money and buying something they did not need in the first place.
