And be replaced with what? I mean world of color is a truly spectacular show. I’d take the exposed pipes over rivers of light any night!
It's really a shame that they don't see originality as adding to relevance. Not everything needs to involve a known character. Social media and online "backlash" have really shaped how they move forward which is just sad on so many levels.
It'd be hard once they get caught up to current day. But word is there is another series in the works that focuses more on individual attractions.
It took them years to film and edit this, so I would imagine nothing on this scale again.
Yeah, but who are they reading? Show me where people on social media were begging for a giant chicken bag. This board is filled with people that have been yelling for original attractions not linked to IP for YEARS (at least, those of you that, like me, migrated over from that other board). To me, any blaming of social media (ie: the fans) for these decisions is a cop out by the people making these decisions.
I've grown to accept that this board houses the minority voice of Disney.

For every critical fan on boards like these, Disney knows they have 10x the amount of vloggers, mommy bloggers, and instagram "influencers" who will work their tails off to make sure everything Disney does (yes, including things like the chicken stand) gets gushing positive reviews. I mean, MK literally has the "purple wall". It's a wall painted purple but it currently has 67.9K posts on instagram at #purplewall. It even got official coverage!
New ‘Purple Wall’ Unveiled in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom Park
As the popular Disney saying goes, “It all started with a mouse!” But for Instagrammers, the #DisneyWall trend all started with a wall - a purple wall to be exact, that sits to the right of the entrance into Tomorrowland.disneyparks.disney.go.com
Meanwhile, #pixarpier has over 151K tags. I'll give you that no one is asking for things like the chicken stand specifically, but Disney knows that whatever they trot out will have legions of loyal followers. Those are the people being catered to.
#poultrypalace to be more specific. Thankfully though, they don't all appear to be Pixar Pier related.
The point I make is that if we, which is definitely a bit of nebulous grouping, had our way, that those who are okay with everything as it is now would not lose anything. Those who accept and even love the franchise mandate still enjoy attractions that are not based on contemporary franchises, so they don’t lose anything by dropping the mandate. Things like Instagramable scenes would still exist like all those that were not specifically designed as such.

And yet they saw Inside Out despite the fact that Buzz and Woody were not in it.
