Exactly what I want to see in any movie: strong writing and acting, complemented with some decent special effects and wit. I'll leave the details to the people getting paid to come up with them.

They actually stray quite a bit from the true story. All of the others were based off of classic stories, so existing content doesn't stop Disney. The Little Mermaid's actual ending is quite unfortunate, from what I understand. Hercules (not a princess story, I know) absolutely decimates the...

Should this be the case, my post is irrelevant. Nothing I've seen on the removal slate would be missed other than the Muppets.

Actually, I disagree that everything is not cared for. MuppetVision is really good. Hell, the preshow room alone is probably one of the top 5 attractions in that park.

Wasn't this named something else earlier? Disney Animation seems to love one word participle titles.

They're all excellent. Classic Disney and Pixar were both eras of innovation. Disney took a medium which was good for 10 minute, silent, black and white films only a decade earlier, and turned it into something that could produce a full color movie with detailed sound. Give it only a few...

To be honest, I read that and thought that it was just an exaggeration.

Less concerned about the quality of the movie itself and more concerned with Pixar in general. They made one sequel in their first 15 years of making feature length movies. Three of their last four movies will have been sequels this time in a month. That's scary, especially with another...

I agree fully on nuclear. Modern reactors are far safer and slightly more efficient than the older ones, and the next generation of nuclear power should be incredible (traveling wave reactors, thorium salt reactors, etc.). That said, solar (at least in Florida) would not be too bad in terms...

Solar is a poor solution because it only works during the day. The electricity which I am using now was just generated fractions of a second ago, so I can guarantee you that it did not come from a solar panel. Solar only works at scale if you have enormous batteries. At that point, you're...

No. People don't seem to understand the sheer cost of a monorail system. People occasionally throw around the "$1 million a mile" figure. If only it were that cheap. You're looking at $30 million, maybe even $35 million, per mile. Throw in stations and trains, and it's an extremely expensive...

People mention inflation, but last I checked, ticket prices increase faster than inflation. Must have something to do with the massive wave of construction at WDW. Between Avatar and Hyperion Wharf, Disney is putting a lot into projects that eventually could perhaps come to fruition in our...

They've been saying this for 15 years and I have no reason to believe that hand drawn animation is on its way out yet. Disney had a short hiatus of hand drawn animation before, and it came back. Even if the current plans are to take out the hand drawn division, they might come to their senses...

Unlikely. EA has a horrendous reputation. Disney has spent a lot on buying companies, but they buy for IPs. Pixar, Marvel, LucasFilm, these are all beloved companies. EA is apparently one of America's most hated. Disney isn't touching that with a 40 foot pole.

Tangled isn't just a CGI princess story, though. It was a CGI princess story marketed in a way Disney never marketed before. Disney stole DreamWorks' marketing tactics. The trailer, with the pop music and slapstick humor, is a perfect example. There's also something called the "DreamWorks...

That profit differential is not that impactful. Based on half of box office revenue as studio income, PatF made about $30 million, Ralph made about $50 million. Keep in mind, marketing budgets are not accounted for. Besides, you can't compare these movies accurately; they're fundamentally...

A novel approach, but I think the original poster was looking for something that is not a federal offense.

Potter Swatter is a heck of a lot easier than people make it out to be. Three things: -Star Wars Land (it is the same thing as WWoHP, except Star Wars has proven staying power) -Maintain everything -Animal Kingdom expansion Specification is not necessary. All Disney needs to do is make AK a...

Except WDI's attempts at value engineering are comically awful. The Fantasyland expansion cost upwards $300 million. WWoHP was kept under $200 million. I've read Carsland was about half a billion dollars. WDI shouldn't have a problem with budget cuts, because they get bigger budgets than the...

Simple solution. Play noises of flies in distress.
