Christine Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I rode Pirates this past Sunday, loved all the little additions and all that, but wondered about Barbossa. As we came to the ship attacking the fortress scene I expected to hear Geoffrey Rush's voice for Barbossa. It just did not sound like him at all. I asked the rest of my group with me and they weren't sure either. It definitely sounds like Johnny Depp for that ending part tho, just before going up the ramp. Does anyone know about this? If it's not Geoffrey then who is it? :angry:
LadyBarbossa Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Don't know. Can't comment on this since I haven't been on the ride. Not even before all the changes... all of them. So... ::le sigh:: tis a pity for this lass to not see the original PotC the ride that Walt Disney created. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Iron Bess Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Too bad you don't think it sounded like himself because it is. The tracks were recorded in the Bahama's when they were all down there. Geoffrey has a thing about being doubled by anything. Ever. He will not allow it. If you so much as see even just his hand in a film you can be assured that it is his hand. His creed is that an actor works with his whole bady and that he is responsible for everything the movie goers see in regards to his performance. (Shrug) Yes, it's his voice alright, same as it is Johnny Depp that is singing the Yo Ho Yo Ho song as well. My favorite though was the dead parrot on the music stand. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Christine Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 Wow, did they tweak with the track or something? His voice sounded slightly higher, he just sounded different. I was even straining to really listen and he just sounded different, wow! Well, that is super great it really is him! Now I'm really going to listen for the next time, but I wasn't the only one who was unsure.
Capt. Sterling Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Wow, did they tweak with the track or something? His voice sounded slightly higher, he just sounded different. I was even straining to really listen and he just sounded different, wow! Well, that is super great it really is him! Now I'm really going to listen for the next time, but I wasn't the only one who was unsure. Maybe it was the way the sound carried in the "room"... all the other aspects... ship, walls, room size, and water can affect the way the track sounds including sound effects and sound tracks....

That would be pretty stupid after the cost and effort it took to record it all. Geoffrey would never stand for it and most of his speech is from the original script anyway, with all the same lines everyone loved such as *Cut the ruddy wreakage away!* Different, true when he talks of Jack Sparrow... but much the same. Trying to hear a precise sound or voice over cannon fire and everything else going on would be hard at best. It's the same with the Jack Sparrow figure as well. It's not easy being Audioanimatronic... just ask Mr. Lincoln about the night he burned. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Christine Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah, trying to listen closely over that whole scene wasn't easy. The Jack Sparrow was easier to listen to and also a lot more recognizable. Ah, well, just gives more reason to keep going, gotta keep listening closely-lol!
LadyBarbossa Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 It's not easy being Audioanimatronic... just ask Mr. Lincoln about the night he burned. And "Burn Baby Burn" was or was not playing in the background? What a riot. Either way... I'm sure it's fantastic. I hope that someday in my life I will get that chance to get there to see it. God be willing. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
JoshuaRed Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Woohoo! Only a few more days till our POTC here in Orlando is back open...can't wait!!!
Dorian Lasseter Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 It's not easy being Audioanimatronic... just ask Mr. Lincoln about the night he burned. Burned, eh?

Black Hearted Pearl Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Turn up the volumne, I say. We pirates are hard of hearing from all those cannon blasts! ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Christine Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 I found this video on You Tube, it's just of Barbossa from the Pirates ride. Now that I can listen more carefully I can hear it a little bit that it is indeed Geoffrey Rush. On the ride itself it's harder to hear it clearly.
Black Hearted Pearl Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Alright gents and ladies, bets on how long it takes for the whole ride to make it to video? I say one day more. Who will bet me longer? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Christine Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 Too late, someone already has the whole ride up on you tube, actually, more than one person I should say. Some got it the first day it opened, some got it during the soft opening.
Black Hearted Pearl Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 This one is hilarious at the end. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
Christine Posted June 28, 2006 Author Posted June 28, 2006 Wow, very cool! How awesome and also a little weird to see your character immortalized on a Disney ride. It's funny how at one point Johnny moves at the same time Jack does-lol!
Iron Bess Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Wow, very cool! How awesome and also a little weird to see your character immortalized on a Disney ride. It's funny how at one point Johnny moves at the same time Jack does-lol! That ride though was done before the *soft opening* for the ride. It's where those screen captures came form on Wireimage I suppose. Nice catch Black Hearted Pearl! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
BILLY BONES Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I rode the ride twice on Tuesday. I have to tell you, that I grew up around D-land, and was a frequenter of THE ride, so it was with trepidation that I rode it again, what with the changes and all. My wife and I recognised Mr. Rush's voice even before we entered the room, and were pleasantly surprised by the changes. Of the 3 appearances of Captain Sparrow, the last looked the least like him, in my opinion, but it was a wonderful effort. I had ridden the ride shortly before the renovation, when I was working on POTC II in L.A., and the nostalgia was thick, but the ride seemed a bit shabby for a Disney ride. Everything looks pretty ship-shape now! I, for one, am actually happy with the update. Capt. William Bones Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste, and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard. "This is a handy cove," says he, at length; " and a pleasant sittyated grog-shop. Much company, mate?" My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity. "Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me." Proprietor of Flags of Fortune.
Christine Posted July 2, 2006 Author Posted July 2, 2006 I rode it again tonight, but it kept breaking down a lot, stopping first at the Barbossa scene. I was able to listen closely since being stopped for awhile there. It also stopped again at the one drunken pirate part with the 2 kitties. That got old super fast! "Here, kitty, kitty! Have some rum with ol' Bill!" LOL! It creeped it's way along finally, but then stopped again at the burning city part. If people didn't know the Pirates song before they know it now, we all heard it enough times! From there it just slowly creeped it's way all the way to the end. The cool thing was that for a Saturday it was not crowded at all. We waited less then 10 minutes to get on and the line started right at the main entrance of the ride. We also walked right up to the front door of Haunted Mansion as well. I love days like that, it's great!
Barbados Sam Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 This one is hilarious at the end. Thank ye fer postin' tha very cool link! It really got me anxious ta get up thar an' see it fer meself! :) "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it."
