EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[John park hopper]

So nice to see the trees, hopefully the rest of the parks will get some much needed tree shade

During Cast preview it was doing sing along in the morning and IDF at 730

A sing-along in masks sounds wonderful.

A sing-along in masks sounds wonderful.

Many churches have temporarily ended all congregational singing.

Any sing-along is a bad idea at this time, even with masks.


Go ahead and sing Happy Birthday to little Timmy. It'll be the last time you do so!!

Does that look as bad in person as it does in the picture? Is it actually a flat facade?

It is a painted flat.

Oh boy that looks absolutely terrible. They've got to do something about that backdrop. Not that I expect them to, they've been pretty clear recently that they aren't concerned with how things look for anything that's not right in your face.

It's unfortunate because everything in the foreground looks good (other than the little bit of that badly designed/out of place blue building), but my eye was drawn straight to the obviously fake backdrop. That's the opposite of what they want. Hopefully it won't be a big issue on the ground when you're actually in that area, though.

On the ground you’ll just have things like the floating door and the crêperie.

And the bizarrely out of place and poorly designed blue building, which I mentioned in an edit. Still not as bad as that backdrop, though.

That's what you get when you keep trying to hide attractions inside a building.

Huh? It has nothing to do with attractions being inside.

You mean buildings like these?

See those work. The ones that don't are Ratatouille and the new Guardians ride. Painting a building to make it blend in looks awful.

 

[Surferboy567]

Little off topic but I found it cool so I’ll share.

On Disney + the “One Day At Disney Shorts” has a recent short on a project manager on Remy’s. He shows what inside the building looked like probably around 8-10 months ago.

I don't think you can judge until you see it in person. The perspectiven s going to be different than from a photograph and with the foreground, it may just blend into the background.

 

[aladdin2007]

are they completely done painting the flat? It looks way too light/white and unfinished. If they just added some more color and darker shades it may look better and help add depth.

A photograph shows there’s no shadows or depth though. Especially when lit like that post noon, you’d expect there to be shadows cast by the bulk and detail.

The blue building to which you replied isn’t Ratatouille and looks a lot better out front.

The lightness is supposed to make it look further away.

 

[ImperfectPixie]

The lightness is supposed to make it look further away.

It's TOO light though. There's too much contrast between the actual buildings and the facade attached to them. In looking at real distances, things don't start to lighten until they are way farther away than that.
