Could Disney's acquisition of Fox (and subsequent acquisition of the Rio franchise) affect the Brazil area from how it currently stands?

Rumor Brazil is the frontrunner for a new World Showcase Pavilion

Maybe. But I thought the current plans were no attraction in the new Brazil pavilion.

I haven’t really heard people talk about this franchise in a long time so I doubt it. The sequel was poorly received, so I doubt they’ll return to it, and it’ll likely fade into obscurity by the time they decide to build a ride in the upcoming pavilion. Three Caballeros faded into obscurity too, but every single person who enters that park already knows who Donald Duck is!

Any closer to an announcement on this?

I agree.Ha! That was awesome!
Unfortunately they don't do anything like that anymore, because they'd rather bow to the superfans than appeal to the general public, and by gosh, was that commercial CANON?? Same reason they got rid of the profitable Jedi Mickey, Darth Goofy, etc. and ended the profitable Disney Infinity series. I understand and appreciate respecting your franchise, but it's healthy to acknowledge it's fiction and intended to be entertainment.

I wouldn't be surprised if Disney sold Blue Sky pretty quickly. Why would they want a third animation studio? Either way, I don't see Disney being in any rush to start building attractions around Blue Sky films as if this was the new Pixar acquisition.

Maybe it will be announced along with the UK attraction
So, it seems unlikely we'll see any Fox properties used in Disney parks any time soon (even once the deal closes which won't be for some time). Most of the Fox stuff doesn't really work well. But...
Two properties that might actually work well in World Showcase would be using Anastasia if they ever did a Russia pavilion. Or now Ferdinand if they did a Spain one (which at least is being considered and Gigantic is no longer in the works for Disney animation).
Ironically, of course, is that Disney did their own version of Ferdinand the Bull long ago.

Anastasia would be a tough one, since the film’s Russian scenes are mostly set during communist times, and then it spends the rest of the time in France.
Then you add the massacre of the Romanoffs to the mix...

I love Anastasia, and I really want to see how the musical changed things without Rasputin, but unless they did something like “Anastasia’s Scary Adventures”, I really don’t see it fitting into one of the parks.
All moot anyways, since a Russian pavilion isn’t on the table.

And the real story of Anna Anderson and her stay at the Dullsdorf mental asylum after her failed suicide attempt.

Some Russians view Anastasia as slightly offensive. I’ve heard the comparison “what if Anne Frank lived and moved to America” a few times. It’s touchy.
Madness? That's the Imagination pavilion, then.

Oh let's open that can of worms! Inside Out is actually a study of mental illness from a Freudian viewpoimt.
Yeah. There's a whole thread about it somewhere on the forums.

I think the title of this one may have something to do with Brazil.. maybe... sorry if the saúde was confusing.
