I feel like there would be actual public interest in a movie about a purple dragon.

More interest than the one about a purple crayon...
I've never seen a purple dragon,
and I've never been one,
but if I had my druthers
I'd rather see, than be one.

If there can be a Harold and The Purple Crayon movie and a Lyle Lyle Crocodile movie, there can be a Figment movie. And if there can be a Figment movie, there can be a Dragon Tales movie. I want us dragon fans to live in harmony. In the year 1999, Figment and Dreamfinder effectively died while Dragon Tales came out and went big, in the same part of the year too (fall 1999). June 2002, Figment came back but Dreamfinder was gone still. And Dragon Tales was at it's peak in the months following 9/11 up to 2004 where Dragon Tales had 11 million viewers weekly. Kodak pulled sponsorship in August 2010, and Dragon Tales stopped airing that same month. But then right after that Figment and Dreamfinder started getting love from Disney and they started acknowledging him again. It seems like if Figment is popular, Dragon Tales can't, and if Dragon Tales is popular, Figment can't.
My main point is, I wish I wish with all my heart, to see them both popular, not falling apart. I should probably talk about this in a specific thread for it but oh well.

They have an original IP that could be a huge franchise like Pirates turned out to be, but rather than move forward with any of this they keep beating a dead horse with sequel after sequel...and shoehorning ip into places it doesn't actually fit. The entire area around The Imagination Pavilion could be developed into something completely spectacular... The subject matter warrants it...A Wonderland of Imagination... Develop an origin story big-budget film for Dreamfinder ... I can't see any way this could fail if they do it right....and the park presence could be insane. It would be a HUUUGE success in the Asian parks as well. Maybe OLC needs to get this franchise and do it right.... I could care less about the new Cars thing, but an expanded and well done Figment and Dreamfinder in Epcot would certainly get my vote....

Hello! When you meet somebody new, that's the first thing you should do. So hello.
I understand you're afraid that Figment and DragonTales can't both be popular. When I'm feeling scared about something, I usually hum.
Also, I just want to meet a character of Lorca. That guy's a dude.

I really loved Lyle Lyle Crocodile. That was one of my favorite movies of all time. The singing crocodile was so much fun, all the singing was great. And, further talking about dragons is Dragon's Lair. I used to play that video game so much as a kid. It was so much fun. And, definitely, I always can't miss Figment whenever I'm at Disney. And, of course, who couldn't ever forget the oh so wonderful movie Pete's Dragon. I really prefer the remake with Bryce Dallas Howard (she has been great in a number of movies and her Dad is ok too, i guess, maybe, who knows). She was great in that spy movie recently I saw. I remember when I saw Pete's Dragon with my wonderful Mom a time ago how we were greeted with a laminated Pete's dragon bookmark. That really meant a lot. Istill have that downstairs and treasure it always. It's really one of the most favorite things that I have. Sorry about my tangent about Dragon's...

Yeah people mistake Lorca as a girl a lot. Actually quite a few people mistake Figment for a Dragon Tales character. I've always thought Wheezie was Figment but female and attached to another dragon's body (Zak's).

Figment has a very similar design to Dragon Tales, i'd imagine there's quite an overlap.

I'm a big Dragon Tales guy myself. I don't wear it on my sleeve like some do, but it was a great show when I was growing up. Still wish I could have seen whatever this is:

That's Dragon Tales Live. It's actually lost media and next to no footage can be found, except the first half of one production (of 3)

I don't like the Idea of Dreamfinder and figment being international characters. The fact that they're distinctly EPCOT adds a lot to their charm for me.

Considering they're allegedly making a Figment movie, that likely won't be an "idea" for long - but rather a reality.
