What is the origin of the theatrical intonation used by Tokyo Disneyland's cast members? At the ride, I was really surprised by the captain's accent, and wondered if she was trying to mimic some tribespeople. After reading everyone's comments, I began to feel really unsure about my ears.. But "It's kind of a child-directed speech (baby talk)" theory does make sense to me. |

What is the origin of the theatrical intonation used by Tokyo Disneyland's cast members? Yes and yes. I've added some more videos to the question. They show the same intonation trait is shared across several captains. And also yes to @deceze. It's certainly not a full-fledged dialect (whatever that may be), but it would be interesting to know any stories behind it, if there is one. |
