Rumor: Tomorrowland name change

[Princess Leia]

Shh...These 2 Movies DON'T Exist Either....

Ok, I remember watching the Tower of Terror movie on Disney Channel... But what is that Toad movie????????????? (for the record, I'm not a fan of the original animated Mr. Toad, I think Ichabod was the better of the two features in that package)

I don't remember it but it's from 1996 apparently: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118172/?ref_=nv_sr_1

You can even buy it on dvd: http://amzn.to/2eAqO6h

https://www.amazon.com/Disney-4-Mov...rd_wg=oELpb&psc=1&refRID=QSY2JAGSDY57ZWP9A7T5 I know this is really off the topic of Discoveryland, but they probably should have just named this box 'Movies based on the Rides' instead of 'Thrills and Chills'. I've only watched a part of the Country Bears movie, but it's not exactly what I would call 'thrilling' or 'chilling'.

Reviewer Some Jerk With a Camera brought up another interesting point that Universal seems to like the Color Yellow....A Lot....

They will have to love the dreamworks face a lot now.

Jeez, how many Tomorrowland threads are there?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Seems legit.

 

[drwadadli]

I don't buy it!!!! There was no report of it in the quarterly stock and information report.

CoP CM.

CoP CM.

Current or past CM??

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Current or past CM??

Not really relevant. They don't tell operations CMs about long term capital plans.

 

[Rteetz]

Current or past CM??

Current, but likely in a managerial role.

"Tomorrowland" is almost a brand. I don't see this happening.

 

[Bocabear]

I agree...it is just a bad idea that would change something really iconic...

 

[BoarderPhreak]

No it won't. LOL

For one thing, it would be too close to WDW's "failed" Discovery Island in name for comfort.

Secondly, that's just silly.

Thirdly, there's IP attached... Tons of it. For example, the "Tomorrowland" movie of the same name.

Is it silly in Paris?

Yes.

Paris is a whole different thing...the design of the land is vastly different...was always designed to be a more steampunk Jules Vernian view of the world of the future... WDW started from the beginning as Tomorrowland and it should really stay that way... I know keeping up with "Tomorrow" is hard, but isn't that the challenge Disney Imagineers were meant to do? If the imagineers didn't do "Hard", Disney World would look alot like Six Flags...

One and two for sure. As for three - I don't see this as a reason to think WDW's Tomorrowland name is irreplaceable. The original Tomorrowland would for now remain alive and well at DL, and every other castle park other than Paris.
