Figment is Now A Fail...

[Disneyfreak Jen]

Figment turned from a lovable character into a comedic and mischievous character straight out of a Looney Tunes cartoon.

Yes he did, it's sad, he used to be so cute.

 

[Rescue Ranger]

I believe Dreamfinder will be back one day and the Imagination Pavilion will flourish again like in yesteryear. But not for man...MANY years.

Still would have been interesting to see Figment back doing things for Kids Like his short lived eduactional film in the later 80's "Would you eat a blue potato?"


There were other one's including one with Figment & Peter Pan.

And then their was the very short lived Disney Channel Show "Dreamfinders"

I would have loved if Figment or Dreamfinder made a cameo in a future Mickey Mouse shorts or a Disney Jr show.

I liked the original better, but I still look forward to riding it every time I'm at EPCOT.

I don't think it's this terrible ride so many make it out to be. It's not as good, but it's still a fun ride. They just need to open the entire pavilion and get rid of the creepy Brit.

Also the moon ending gave me nightmares...

The moon will always be with us...

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

The moon will always be with us...

And will terrorize our Nightmares...Which brings me to...
My Top 4 Scariest Moon Faces...
#4 The Moon from A Trip to The Moon

#3 Little Caesars PIZZA TIME Moon

#2 The Moon in Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask

And the Number 1 Scariest Moon of all time is.....Do I even need to say who...

 

[SplashThunder]

And the interactive stuff at the end needs a major update...

 

[SplashThunder]

I think this attraction is going soon, we all wish it could go back the way it used to be, but this will never happen.

I'd love to have Horizons replace Figment.

 

[FettFan]

Oh my gosh! Thank you for telling me! I love Gonzo singing, I always cry in the Muppet Movie when he sings "I'm Gonna Go Back There Someday". Are you a Muppet fan yourself?

Somewhat. I like the Jim Henson Company as a whole, especially The Dark Crystal and the original Ninja Turtles. (bonus: Kevin "Elmo" Clash was the voice and puppeteer of Spinter).

The Muppets for me are hit-and-miss. Didn't really care for the new movies ("Muppets" and "Muppets Most Wanted")...but I LOVE the shorts and skits. For instance: Gordon Ramsay vs. Swedish Chef.

HILARIOUS.

Exactly.
To quote one critic whose name now escapes me: "Figment is reduced to nothing more than a nuisance; Eric Idle's character actively tries to get rid of him for more than half of the show, before finally accepting the fact that the dragon isn't going anywhere and attempting to make the best of what he considers a 'bad' situation. If the attraction's other starring character doesn't want him around, why should the audience?"

What, no love for Horizons?

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

What, no love for Horizons?

He wasn't that creepy...

 

[Goofyernmost]

Now he looks like some kind of a monster a kid wouldn't want under his bed... He will never be the same

Here's the new Figment. To be fair he still has a little purple pigment!

 

[Dartha Stewart]

and not that heartless scientist.

If you are referring to Eric Idle, in his defense it is he who is trying to educate and entertain the audience going through the tour. Yet his efforts keep going afoul thanks to Figment's relentless shenanigans. So in a way, it is Figment, not the scientist, who is heartless.

(Though we all know that the true soulless beings behind this travesty are those responsible for the original version's demise.)

 

[GVentola]

To those who say the original Journey into Imagination will never return--take heart! The original Tiki Room was replaced for about ten years when it was "Under New Management", but it came back! (I love Iago, but the original Tiki Room was part of my childhood, so I am glad Iago got kicked out.)
I agree that Figment's personality has changed, and not for the better. As for Eric Idle's character, he is indeed "heartless" compared to the merry ol' Dreamfinder. And, in a moment of pure blasphemy, Idle's character says he is the one who came up with Figment, when we all know Figment's creator is Dreamfinder!

I was really referring to a comparison of Eric Idle, and Dreamfinder. Dreamfinder had a father-like, cheerful quality to him, and he gave an innocence to Figment, which made him the cuddly character that is no longer seen.

 

[Bairstow]

Imagine being stuck on that ride with an 18 month old for an hour in the last science where they sing the whole time . I will never be the same!

Why didn't you just get up and walk out? That's what I would have done.

Don't forget to cut your seatbelt on the way out.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

I always thought if they took it where there was a bigger plan for Nigel's Demise and Dreamfinder returned..
