    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I will admit, I don't like the idea of an uplifting/happy song playing as you go up the lift hill. The lift is meant to fill you with dread and then the drop provides the relief and the happy song comes after.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Agreed. While I don't think Desantis and Disney will ever be on great terms, the end of his presidential campaign kind of took away the main driver behind his war with Disney in the first place. Hopefully the next governor of Flordia — whether they be Republican or Democrat — is friendlier to...

    Disney Is Reportedly Looking to Reboot Pirates of the Caribbean

    The biggest problem with on Stranger Tides was the lackluster direction. It missed the spark that Verbinski provided.

    Disney Is Reportedly Looking to Reboot Pirates of the Caribbean

    I dont get why people have a hard time wrapping their heads around a Pirates of the Caribbean movie without Jack Sparrow, when the ride did fine without him for more than 30 years! I love Depp's performance in the first three films, but he was really phoning it in by Dead Men Tell No Tales. If...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I'll reserve judgement to whether Tiana's Bayou Adventure is better or worse than the OG Splash Mountain till after I've ridden it or seen footage, but I will say I'm growing more and more fond of the exterior of the ride with each passing update. Initially I was worried it would look like a...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I think the general consensus is that, prior to 2020, the Princess and the Frog had been considered as a potential Splash Mountain retheme for a few years and that some concepts had been created, but that the pandemic and the protests and the petitions accelerated the timeline and moved the...

    Don't feel too bad for him, he clearly loves the attention.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Yeah, like it or not, Song of the South was a significant part of the company's history. I don't think it should be promoted to children anymore, but referencing it in a historical exhibit about Walt Disney himself isn't inappropriate. I think the film is worth highlighting both as an example...

    I think it's less shock and more concern about the backlash she inevitably got on Twitter from people who were hoping Lilly Gladstone would be the first Native American woman to win Best Actress. Stone also seemed quite supportive of Gladstone throughout the Oscar race. It's possible, since...

    The Zone of Interest is a very experimental movie and won't be for everyone, but I thought it was one of the most powerful movies from last year. It stuck with me long after I left the theater and made me think more than any of the other Best Picture nominees. It's definitely a movie that...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Poor Things earned more than $100 million on a $35 million budget and has won numerous Oscars including Best Actress. By all objective measures, Poor Things is a success. I know dunking on Disney (while claiming not to be) is your thing, but this is the wrong movie to use as an example of the...

    Avatar: The Way of Water had a similar situation where people waited to see it in IMAX or Dolby instead of rushing out to see it opening weekend once the premium screens were taken. Dune Part 2 is kind of like Avatar in the sense that it's a movie that NEEDS to be seen on the biggest screen...

    News Avatar Experience coming to Disneyland

    I hope the Disneyland version isn't just a copy of Florida's. It would be cool if they had the land incorporate elements from The Way of Water.

    You shouldn't let the terrible David Lynch movie deter you from seeing the excellent new movies. Also, Star Wars borrowed a lot from Dune.

    It just shows how much better a film can look when you have the script perfected before hand and give filmmakers enough time in production and post production to make the film look great. Dune Part 2 cost less than Ant-man and the Wasp Quantumania and the Marvels, yet it looked waaaaaay better...
