This HM fan doesn't believe that there will ever be a decent movie tribute to our favorite 999 ghosts. To be fair, there are elements that I do like in the Eddie Murphy film, but overall it's a dreadful affair. Disney showed back then that it was more interested in producing pablum than...

Immersion seems to be the current buzz word, but I think there's something of a disconnect between what fans and imagineers conceive of when that word is used. Let me use Indiana Jones as an example for a moment. For IJA, we want to be in an adventure with Indy at the focus, but do we really...

So left-overs from IASW end up in Pinocchio?

Leia was made a slave by Jabba the Hutt. That makes ALL of Star Wars tainted and objectionable. Hence, SW is not appropriate for "the Happiest Place on Earth" and as such Star Tours and Galaxy's Edge need to be demolished ASAP for the world's social well being. Hey - it's worth a shot. ;)

So Tokyo may become the only place to see the unaltered POTC bride auction and Splash Mountain?

Disney goes through executives as fast as Stalin went through commissars.

Live from beautiful downtown Batuu, Iger and Chapek present ROTR. (Imagine this in Gary Owens' voice for the full impact)

Sounds like the "Bright Suns" cast members are just as loathsome as Walmart greeters and the Costco Direct TV hucksters. :D

Did you meet Eisner?

The attraction is clearly influenced by "Treasure Island" - "yo ho" and the "dead men tell no tales" hearken back to and/or imitate language used by Stevenson. X Atencio said so as such in interviews. However, it is not based on the book in the same way that "Tom Sawyer's Island" is based on...

Stop the presses! Yosemite Sam is guilty of violating Robert Louis Stevenson's sacred copyrights and trademarks! Hang, draw, and quarter the varmint for daring to quote a famous, if perhaps cliched, line from a famous novel without admitting that his whole entity is now based on Treasure Island...

"To be, or not to be, that is the question." Uh-oh! I just quoted Shakespeare. That means that my post is now "directly based on" Shakespeare's Hamlet! "Let the punishment fit the crime!" - Oh great, now my post is "directly based on" Gilbert and Sullivan's the Mikado! Incidentally, the...

There's a difference between being influenced by a common culture or lore and directly doing an adaptation of a work. By your standard, POTC was also directly based on the works of Rafael Sabatini and Howard Pyle as well as movies starring the likes of Errol Flynn, Charles Laughton, Wallace...

Directly? Source please.

You're putting forth a straw man argument. Who exactly is denying that? What totally ignorant Disney fan is denying the long history of IPs in the parks? What people are rightly pointing out is that Disney is now focusing primarily upon IP experiences. Where is that certain balance of new IP and...

I wish they would do this the day after Halloween. Let us have the original and more appropriately themed Haunted Mansion for Halloween. Since the Disney managers have shown the ability to switch to the Jack Skellington version in a week and a half, they could easily start on the first of...

I agree with you. I always make sure to take a tour through the big cheese's pad at least once per trip. If you're a Disney enthusiast, there a lot of neat references and in-jokes to observe. I do bail out before the meet and greet section though. If anything else, it's a nice place to spend a...
