welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:04
coming to you from California
0:07
Adventure it's my second channel daily
0:09
blog channel directly across from
0:12
Disneyland is their second Anaheim
0:15
Orange County Southern California Theme
0:17
Park California Adventure I don't spend
0:20
a lot of time here but today is a
0:22
special occasion and I wanted to show
0:24
you a fantastic hidden secret that you
0:27
might not know about right here on this
0:30
main drag bua Vista Street Straight
0:34
Ahead lies a little tidbit of goodness
0:37
and I'm going to pay my homage today to
0:40
one of my childhood memories here on the
0:43
daily woo it's very windy out here today
0:46
I'm not really sure why there's so much
0:48
wind around here I know certain areas of
0:50
the country are getting hammered with
0:52
tornadoes there's no tornadoes around
0:54
here but I must say the wind is kicking
0:56
up the trees are blowing around pretty
0:58
wildly definitely nothing that is
1:00
happening in other areas of the country
1:03
nowhere near as bad here but for
1:04
California it's definitely very windy
1:06
this is probably the windiest it has
1:08
been since I've been out here in a month
1:10
or two 3 months or four or five months
1:12
over the last year I've spent in this
1:14
area this is the most wind I've seen you
1:17
can see my hair is a little bit unkempt
1:20
and un I'm not wearing my hat today so
1:23
today is kind of a sad day for me being
1:25
an 80s nerd an 80s kid growing up in the
1:29
80s and pretty much analyzing and loving
1:32
every single 8s movie one of my favorite
1:34
movies was Who Framed Roger Rabbit of
1:38
course directed by Steven Spielberg and
1:40
a lot of the cast from Back to the
1:42
Future and a lot of the crew worked on
1:44
that movie of course Robert zamus was a
1:47
director Christopher Lloyd was in that
1:49
movie and a guy by the name of Bob
1:52
Hoskins was also in that
1:54
movie Bob Hoskins in my opinion actually
1:57
made the movie what it is today without
2:00
him I don't think the movie would have
2:02
been as believable and successful the
2:05
movie was released on Touchstone
2:06
pictures which was like a little
2:08
subsidiary of the Walt Disney Studios
2:11
they didn't want to release it under the
2:12
Walt Disney name because it had a little
2:14
bit of adult humor an adult comedy it
2:17
definitely was not a runchy film but it
2:19
definitely had a little bit more of an
2:21
adult Edge than most Disney
2:24
movies so basically I want to show you a
2:27
little hidden secret here oh I was going
2:30
to say as well it is very a very sad day
2:32
because Bob Hoskins the gentleman who
2:35
played Eddie Valiant in the movie Roger
2:39
Rabbit's friend and counterpart this
2:41
morning I found out that he actually
2:43
passed away and he's no longer with us
2:46
it's very sad for me especially as an '
2:48
80s kid and a huge fan of Roger Who
2:51
Framed Roger Rabbit Who Framed Roger
2:53
Rabbit in my opinion was a game changer
2:55
as far as animation combined with
2:57
liveaction you can go back in the day
2:59
like Peach dragon that was probably one
3:01
of the biggest Disney liveaction movies
3:04
coinciding but Who Framed Roger Rabbit
3:06
was kind of like a revamp of the peach
3:09
Dragon era they really took it to the
3:11
next level and it is undoubtedly a
3:13
classic like I was saying before Bob
3:16
Hoskins role in that for me made the
3:18
movie and I just want to show you a
3:20
little tidbit right here on this little
3:22
area and homage to Bob Hoskins right up
3:27
here at 26
3:30
32 bua Vista Street if you come out here
3:34
to Disneyland come across the street
3:36
over into California Adventure on to bua
3:39
Vista Street and just look for that
3:41
address just come in and then take a
3:44
left and you will see a mailbox see that
3:48
mailbox right
3:49
there I wonder who that mailbox belongs
3:53
to we should actually go up there and
3:55
take a look at the mailbox straight
3:58
ahead remember I was saying how Bob
4:01
Hoskins character was Eddie Valiant well
4:04
this is Eddie Valiant mailbox look at
4:07
this there's four names across the
4:09
mailbox and if you look closely one of
4:13
them is Eddie Valiant look at this right
4:17
here can you see that e Valiant Eddie
4:23
Valiant the names have actually kind of
4:26
deteriorated and have started to wither
4:28
away little piece of paper there it says
4:30
e
4:32
Valiant that means Eddie Valiant got his
4:35
mail right here a little Disney homage
4:38
to the character played by Bob Hoskins
4:41
way before the tragic news of today this
4:44
was placed here a little hidden secret
4:47
here across from Disneyland theme park
4:50
in California Disney's California
4:52
Adventure they call it DCA for sure so
4:55
if you're out here walking around make
4:57
sure you come up here and take a look at
5:00
this it actually says e Valiant right
5:05

5:07
maale and E Valiant can you see it right
5:11
there there's one here and the next one
5:14
over the second one over is e
5:22
Valiant so there you go this has been my
5:22
little omage to the great Bob Hoskins I
5:26
know him of course my favorite role of
5:28
him was in who Roger Rabbit he was also
5:30
in Hook but also in a plethora of other
5:34
great movies a lot of people held him in
5:36
highest regards as an actor what is your
5:38
favorite Bob Hoskins movie leave some
5:41
comments down below and if you ever know
5:43
did you know anything about this little
5:44
mailbox here and if you did why didn't
5:47
you tell me I found out about it today
5:48
by a guy on Instagram left me a comment
5:51
I posted something earlier about the
5:53
death of Bob Hoskins and the great thing
5:55
about the internet is people chime in
5:57
and they tell me things I had no idea
5:59
