If nothing else, Hoppers would be a perfect follow up to Bugs Life in the Tree of Life

Now why would they go and replace an amazing attraction like ZBT?

Butterflies are incredibly difficult to maintain. I know they do it for Flower and Garden but I doubt they would want to deal with a massive and permanent butterfly exhibit.
I thought that too after I saw an early screening. It would help flesh out a North American area. I’d bring back the Pocahontas show, add a Bambi flat, and a Brother Bear E ticket.

I know it’s set in Oregon, but watch Beaverton Tails show up in the Canada pavilion.

I've seen Hoppers twice now and I concur. It needs to be somewhere in Animal Kingdom. I hope it makes a lot of money. It was a fantastic movie and one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Left the theater crying both times as well because of gut punch emotion handled perfectly.
For the love of all that is good...

Great movies typically make mediocre attractions and vice versa. Water World student show is the perfect example. The guest experience should be the most important aspect, not synergy.
I was hoping for an Ice Cube's War of the Worlds attraction in which we yell at a TV screen.
Some do, and this is one of them.

Evidently, early-2000s animation that grossed ~$80mil in the US is still game for E-ticket attractions.

It really is the perfect IP that could fit (imo), especially if they wanted to put a focus on North America / our wildlife.
The movie is about the intrinsic value of nature, has a clear personal call to action, and a psychological transformation through adventure.
You could easily build an original story attraction using the wonderful characters and animal world created in the film.

They're apparently building a coaster based on The Emperor's New Groove, which wasn't a huge hit either.
Disney also considered The Princess and the Frog a flop (It wasn't, it just didn't make as much money as they wanted it to), and lo and behold...

Something we could probably all agree on … replace Better Zoogether with Hoppers.

Or even a show that features the characters from A Bug's Life. Since the tree is so big, they can make it seem like we are the size of a bug and entering a theatre inside the tree. Then Flik could teach us about why we should respect insects and maybe even Hopper could show up and add some conflict. Maybe even write a fun new song for a finale in the show.

Isn’t that essentially what they’re putting in MK? Except they’re populating it with anthropomorphic cartoon automobiles

I'll wait to watch it for free when it streams in a month or two.
