How so?

Yes, I feel people are so blinded by their hatred of Iger that they're just enjoying dancing around and laughing about declining stock prices as some kind of vindication. On some level, though, I assume they have to know that all those institutional investors to the extent they care about the...

In those cases, The Little Mermaid and Beauty & the Beast are great films that have become attractions that are not so great. That might give a hint as to why it took so long to turn such successful films into theme park attractions and give some pause when considering whether it was worth it...

Yes, this is where I am always on these discussions. Disney will do whatever they decide to do and I would never make anyone feel bad for enjoying something that is not personally to my taste. These forums, though, are a place for people to share their opinions and debate topics related to the...

It really isn't. Animal behaviours may be incorporated into the film and the setting certainly influences how the film's messages are communicated more generally. However, beyond some of these more superficial characteristics, it really is not a film aimed to shine a light on how animals live...

I feel like people on both sides of this are equally puzzled at why the other side isn't understanding their points. No-one is saying that Encanto or Indiana Jones are inherently great fits for Animal Kingdom just because they have animals in them that don't talk. What some of us are saying is...

Do you feel like the story of The Lion King was designed to explore the mating habits and social dynamics of wild lions?

I feel that way about a Lion King land that is supposed to be coming to Paris. A Lion King land is the sort of thing every 14 year-old armchair imagineer has probably thought would be a fantastic addition to the parks since the film came out. I am very curious to see, though, how they can make a...

Let's put it this way, does Expedition Everest fit the park? The set-up to that ride is all about an expedition by humans into the mountain and local legends of the Yeti among the people who live in the area. The Yeti itself only ever appeared very briefly. If you believe that fits, something...

Surely you mean you can see animatronic presidents singing Be Our Guest, A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes, What Else Can I Do, Un Poco Loco, Let's Go Fly a Kite, and, of course, You've Got a Friend in Me?

Indeed. All of them could potentially be handled well or badly. I kind of wonder whether it has more to do with nostalgia around the original Lion King animated feature and some crotchetiness around newer IPs. There seems to me an obvious clash between Harambe and a book report-style ride based...

I generally agree with the critiques of a Lion King ride here, but I think Encanto at least has the potential to be different. The park in a general sense deals with the relationship between humans and animals and you could do an Encanto attraction that at least broadly fits that theme. I don't...

As in the new storyline of Tiana's Bayou Adventure will be that Tiana has to go to the bayou to find former presidents to invite to her party?

I don't think I knew that, to be honest!

Sure, but it's not like Disneyland Paris is not spending money on refurbishments in recent years. All I'm saying is that I imagine this isn't a cheap project and the capacity is not especially needed. So, if it came down to this or, for example, getting the smoke and mist effects running at the...

Ah, so this means the Fire Island ride is cancelled? :(

Honestly, if I were managing DLP I don't think bringing back a second river boat would be high on my list of priorities. It's a shame for the Mark Twain to be rotting away, but does the park really need two river boats?

Honest question, why do you think they spent the money on this refurb? If the attraction was more or less doing what it was supposed to do, what would be the point of reworking it?

I don't have any insider information, but I feel pretty confident that they aren't going to add the Country Bears to DCA or any other park. This new version at MK was ostensibly a way to make it remain viable, not a renewed confidence in the Country Bears as a headliner attraction. They already...

I just saw the new poster for the Storybookland Canal Boats at Disneyland Paris and I must say that they did a better job making that poster match the look and feel of classic Disney attraction posters than they have managed with any of the recent WDW posters. I don't think the CBMJ one is bad...
