So I was watching this :http://www./2012/03/disney-dreams-debuts-at-disneyland-paris-perfecting-nighttime-spectacles-from-theme-parks-worldwide/ and I thought the concept looked very familiar, and then I remembered this (check out the drawing):

that's no excuse for how utterly uninspiring and trite the movie turned out to be. The difference between Avatar and those movies you mentioned is that the other movies made far more interesting choices when it came to telling their respective stories. Even Disney's Pocahontas is fundamentally a...

of course not, cause the connecting "theme" between the park and the movie is conservation! geeze! Who cares about the animals? The imagineers are probably thinking of having everyone that goes to the land sit through all of "Avatar" the movie (In IMAX 3d!!!!!!) before entering with a...

facts? you said so yourself you got that from google. Bogus comparisons? I'm just saying compared with other franchises, even in-house ones, Avatar's merchandising potential ain't all that. And the fact that Star Wars came out 30 years ago and still makes that much only underlines the fact...

Actually I had it wrong, Star Wars has 20 billion and counting, Cars has like 10 Billion and counting. and then Harry potter is supposedly close to about what Star Wars makes... so, again, 153 million huh?

that's it? didn't cars have like 6 billion? plus I googled Star Wars, they have 9 billion, probably more. So 153 million is hardly anything.

One thing that's different between the Avatar acquisition and the aforementioned attractions was that they were singlular attractions. The interesting elements were all funneled and focused into one great, memorable experience. With Avatar, they have to find a way to mine the world for a whole...

I'd imagine that somebody with such a clear vision for Disney's Animal Kingdom wouldn't exactly be jumping for joy at the news of being forced to shoehorn in a property that's not really that cohesive with the theme of the park. If he was 100% behind it then he would have already had some sort...

yeah cause you know, the merchandise for Avatar was such a huge cash cow when the movie came out.

actually that's not entirely true, Avatar doesn't have rabid teenage fanboys. Teenagers normally wouldn't care for big preachy movies about blue aliens like Avatar. Plus if it did have rabid teenage fanboys then it would still be prevalent in public culture, not virtually non-existent. The...

so Joe Rhode supposedly did not know about this... http://www.disneybymark.com/2011/09/21/news-avatar-at-animal-kingdom/

i'm pretty jazzed about all the military stuff they're probably gonna build.

because they're not out yet and no one has any idea how they will do? The first movie came out at the right time where it was able to market itself on its new technologies, now that that will be gone, its future will be much more debatable.

well to be fair, you're assuming that the next installments in the Avatar franchise will be successful, what if it's not? It's already been discussed that the first film didn't exactly fire up the public's collective imagination in the way the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings series has. It's...

There are also multiple fansites dedicated to rich heiresses' body parts, that's not really a measure of a film's popularity. All you have to do is go to various social networking sites to gauge a property's popular opinion. The Avatar land will be an amazing treat to people visiting WDW...

sure it's a decent enough movie and the reviews are mostly positive but that doesn't necessarily mean that it inspires the same level of passion and love that a lot of other properties do. You don't see Avatar toys flying off the shelf at toy stores, or any serious fan movements going on. (All...

Yeah, the possibilities are numerous. The way they can handle the story is that they have turned Pandora into this tourist paradise where guests from earth would come to this old converted Military base that's dressed up with flowers and fruits and offerings and then it basically becomes like a...

Yeah i do think Disney would look at AK and create a military base to please James Cameron, it makes about as much as sense as an alien planet taking up shop in that park. Funny, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the Military Base and the way you get to see hear and touch the world of Pandora...

Islands of Adventure never had a cohesive theme and that's fine for that park, it ain't no Animal Kingdom, or it wasn't. I find it funny though that everyone's praising this upcoming Avatar land for its speculated lush greenery and expanded alien vistas but completely ignoring the fact that...

hey emperor, you're naked.
