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

    100 percent. No one is perfect. And he served his time. And those flaws were among consistent growth and change to the parks. Stagnent, was rarely a thing with Eisner. He also put his face on it for acountability, for sure ego is there somewhere, but by putting his face and name on Wonderful...

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

    Eisner understood entertainment. A fairly creative guy for sure. He was willing to understand and elevate theme parks. I am a Michael Eisner fan. My comment was to the poster who said it is not just Iger. It is not. It is the leadership with Iger that grew and become the norm more and more...

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

    That is catching up the way their too big to fail box office reputation did...fast.

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

    Who said anything about IP and who said only Iger? It's a culture problem he co-created.

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

    Oh I agree, it just seems to not be getting any better. Until Iger and execs over that school of thought leave, it is not going to get better.

    That is a big ask as I remember similar sentiments for Avengers Campus.

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

    This points out the situation that has been going on and while people continue to lose trust in the next project. Yes, you can give the starving chicken and get away with calling it a steak for awhile.

    Themed Rides can live and die by their content too. "They can't mess Tiana's up come to mind." heck, most of DCA's original content.

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

    Key word there is "force" it to work. Location yes, (ruins of tropical america) but source material no. If Indy would work in this way, they could have just had him as a part of Expedition Everest/and or in the Maharaje Jungle Trek, but more care was given at the time. Either way: A D- is not...

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

    Yes Lion King film is largely Hamlet and anthropomorphic in characterization in much of itself. The difference you are leaving out is that Lion King also has Conservation with the Circle of Life being animal connection as much as it is the hierarchy fable. The difference is, what was done with...

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

    If the show was not based on a property of animals in Africa at least retaining some of their animal traits(hamlet aside) in an African Storyteller format, I would, but it fits as it is literally written in the format of an African Folklore festival in inspiration. (katonga at Busch Gardens...

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

    A few things there. The Fab Five and marketing friends have always been the exception since day one. And their anthropamorphic relationship is clearly the same to their cartoony predator. This was in Camp Minnie Mickey, a temp area that had the human/wilderness relationship told through fable...

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

    Oh that franchise was parodied in the last show there.;) It is now yet another odd reskin now of not just anthropomorphic, but a show more about anthropology and sociology than nature having its place in the world. Bob Iger and the rest just need to get the heck out before it is going to get...

    Controversial/ Unpopular theme park opinions

    There at less unpopular opinions as Disney's good choices and bad choices have little nuance or middle ground anymore. I will try for some hot takes though. Star Tours original was better storytelling in almost every way. Rise of the Resistance would have been better as a single ride that...

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    This is what I believe is most likely and of course what everyone reasonable would hope is most likely. They probably have video we don't know of/other pieces of evidence that point to the harm not being at all repeatable with these new rider requirements. I don't think it is a coincidence that...
