Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Squishy]

The original concept artist for TSL (among other projects) revealed himself on Twitter recently.

An interesting tidbit is that someone asked about the lack of shade and acknowledged it. Regardless, still sad we didn’t get the full land as originally visioned with the bridge over SDD and the western-Town and barn gift shop.

Original tweet:

He's also the concept artist of New Fantasyland, Epcot Ratatouille area, play pavilion, the Disneyland Rivers of America remake, Disneyland's 50th castle decor & MK's 50th castle decor.

That means Disney should buy Columbia and Geffen record labels!!

And...
Disney had a Muppet attraction before they bought the Muppets.

Feels odd there was no Marvel attraction before buying that. Breaks the pattern.

Since they have a Twilight Zone themed ride, then it's clear they're about to buy CBS!

Give it time.... Disnet has not yet bought universal

I'd love it if we eventually got the western town and Big Al's.

His concept art is waaaaaaaay better than whoever does that horrible cartoon style rubbish.

EDIT - Rubbish is slightly harsh, it's just not a particular style I like (example below)

One is realism, the other imaginative. I wish they'd use both styles. One is fun, the other is for logistics.

Nobody uses concept art for "logistics". More and more published art is not even all that conceptual, being created on top of the "blueprints" if they're not just the "blueprints" like we have seen with the recent hotels at Walt Disney World.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at but ok

You’re claim that published art is used for “logistics” is not really true.

That’s not what I meant. What I meant was I like the cartoony one for fun. And I like The overhead realistic one for logistics.

"It’s unclear what the construction is for, but it’s possible that Disney is expanding the seating area. Again, this is a very slight expansion and might accommodate 5 tables. Disney has not commented on the work."

And there's where the remaining budget for the restaurant went.

5% of it…
The other 95 went to Chapek like Dis:

Original tweet:

That was a great first response by him and I’m mad the other person didn’t get it was a joke.

Never mind the fact that the other person seems to think he had some sort of input in the design of the place. Like if only he drew more shade structures in the concept art, they would’ve put them in the land!

I am very late to this, but I could not agree more!

Every time I see that cartoony style I wonder when Disney lost the ability to produce good concept art. In most cases, I feel that art looks worse than what actually ends up being built.

Then when the stuff that we now know is from Greg Pro comes up, I am reassured that at least someone there knows how to make their projects look appealing. His new stretching portraits for Disneyland Paris' Phantom Manor were also a big improvement!

I hope so. You're constantly looking for a seat in that area.

A Pixar Pier type of thing on the east coast would be lovely
