So two days ago, the live-action (and visually bland, but that's just my opinion) remake of Aladdin hit theaters, but as with most recent Disney movies, there seems to be zero synergy of the movie in the parks.
This wasn't always the case..... I remember back in the heyday of Disney-MGM Studios, where most new Disney releases were treated with a lot of pomp and circumstance.
Case in point: in 1992 when the original (good) Aladdin was released, Disney-MGM went nuts heralding it.
Pictured: Aladdin's Royal Caravan parade.
In 1997, we saw the release of 101 Dalmatians which was promoted by revamping the Backstage Tour to showed off props and behind-the-scenes clips of the movies, interviews with the stars, and a photo op areas of scenes from the movie.
Heck, they even went so far as to paint the Earful Tower in dalmatian spots.
Alas, those days are pretty much gone it seems.
So what gives?
