DAK “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

[jah4955]

Hey hey hey - no disagreement, but let’s also acknowledge World of Motion, a spiritual successor to Pirates with all the wit and artistry of that classic ride.

I could never ever see anything ever dethroning World of Motion as my all-time #1 favorite ride ever/anywhere (just to be crystal clear).

NB: since Horizons & JII also closed, Haunted Mansion has been my favorite ride "still open."

Never got to do World of Motion. I wish we could have that AND Test Track.

I think I've asked this before, but what exactly do they spend the money they make from the price increases on if they don't spend it on the attractions or maintenance?

Bob Iger's compensation package.

To keep the company afloat to cover from the other financial losses in the company? Like the film divisions and the like? (Sadly, as of late)

A certain bunch of animals will make sure the film division comes afloat - it's currently expected to do $500 million (or even $600 million) opening weekend.

Oh of course, but I meant like, prior to Zootopia 2 releasing.

It could legitimately do $2 billion. Don't think it'll pass Avatar, but it could very easily challenge for top 5 all time. Disney needs that cash badly.

That’s highly unlikely. Right now, the biggest movie with a Thanksgiving opening is Moana 2, which ended its theatrical run with $460M, according to BoxOfficeMojo.

And personally I don’t see the Zootopia franchise as having the same draw as Moana which had a better story, better songs, and overall better production.


Best Zootopia can hope for is edging out Toy Story 2 for third place behind Moana 2 and Frozen.

That was just domestic. Moana 2 ended its run with over $1 billion worldwide

What did Moana 2 compete with? I can’t remember.

I don’t see any other major family releases so zoo might beat out Moana 2

Just saw Zootopia 2. There were definitely scenes they copy + pasted animation for the show. Also they

Spoiler: Spoiler

Say the phrase Better Zoogether and reveal how Bellweather got out of jail for the show

.

It honestly gives the show the exact same problem as Bayou Adventure - Takes a fun world/movie and instead gives us the blandest version of it possible. Like there were a million different things they could have done for the show to improve it.

If this had opened before Muppets closed, I wonder if the reaction to the closure would have been even more pronounced.

It's being projected to make $500 million in China within a few days of release, and $125-$200 million domestically. It'll hit a billion faster than Inside Out 2, and has a very good shot at $2 billion worldwide due to a fortunate release window.

I got to enjoy WDW at it's 3-D heyday:

• EPCOT: Captain EO (but imo unable to be enjoyable after 1993 at the latest ...nm all the other overwhelmingly cringeworthy "dated" elements.
• Magic Kindgom: Magic Journeys (with "Working for Peanuts" in 3-D one of the best Donald Duck/Chip n' Dale offerings to date even if it wasn't also in 3-D). [But I admit Magic Journeys is best enjoyed by either being in the 1980s or being "high" (I've never been "high" for the record...it's just my impression lol)]
• MGM: Muppetvision (still hoping this ultimately comes back in what is now the Villians building).
• AK: It's tough to be a bug (my favorite memory was seeing my little brother going airborne in the finale lol)

Today: Zoogether and Pixar short "festival" *sigh again*

On the influencers to have them publicly attest how great each & every new or updated attraction is and how much better it is (even in the new B mode)…

"Here's $3000, Paging Mr Morrow. Pump the out of this new Zootopia attraction on your channel, and this new $30 cupcake we'll be releasing, and maybe someday we'll pay you like we pay MickeyViews and Jackie Super Enthused. But you'll never get Tim Tracker money unless you lose some weight.""

The BRAND NEW AA’s may only work in A mode for 90 days, but damnit, we’ll have AWESOME social media coverage!! After all, we only need to get the guests ONTO the property…once they’re here, who cares what works or doesn’t…

Yeah but that all depends on how strong it is. The biggest competition is Wicked, which is going to automatically get people back into the theater multiple times because it’s essentially a singalong for theater kids and their families.

Thus far, Zoo2opia looks like “just okay”.
Not great enough to hold peoples attention (like the first one), yet not awful to the point of being offensive like Disney’s Star Wars.

Well, at least we still have Mickey's Philharmagic...

From what I've heard, Moana 2 wasn't particularly good and that still made mucho moolah at the box office (and that was up against the first Wicked too). I think Zootopia 2 will be fine.

I am still flabbergasted that the company founded by a man who said he didn't want to do sequels is now basically running on re-makes and sequels.
