There is no project. Disney is asking for permission to start a project. That’s it. That’s the update.

So then - what does the phrase mean?

Wish deserves its fate. I'm gonna start posting random observations about the film to demonstrate Disney's lackadaisical execution of their tentpole 100th anniversary release. First up: The main lyric to Wish's big anthem, key enough that it was featured in all the trailers and promos, and...

Tired of the box office talk (Why would I give two hoots whether Disney makes money?). So I caught the Sunday matinee so could talk about the content... Wish is terrible. If anything, the critics were being too nice about it. The saddest thing about it is - the animation, from the world's...

For operational and cost saving purposes, I think they should shut Fiesta Village and Camp Snoopy down for Scary Farm and route the performers to other places. That area has been dead for years now, and Scary Farm is big enough without them to absorb the crowds elsewhere. Just a better use of...

That's a deluxe room? What do the non-deluxe rooms look like? I'm hard pressed to think of anything that can be even more bare-bones.

It certainly can’t be the next ten years. I don’t even know how people are taking this seriously. Disney doesn't have 60 billion on hand. If Disney waited and didn’t spend a single dime of their net income for the next ten years and added all that up to their current cash reserves, they...

Pretty good! I still think the scale of the buildings is so massive, making all the architectural detailing massive too. I really wish they'd tone it down there. Especially in the town square area, it would just make the castle pop so much more. Right now the roofline of the town buildings...

What I don't understand is why they keep wasting money on stupid overlays, like Tiana's Palace or the Tokyo thingie in DCA, or the Pixar Pier thing in DCA. Or the Haunted Mansion outdoor thing. For that kind of money, why can't you simply add a few simple busbar dark rides in an empty building...

Every time they have tried a pre-show to pulse people into a maze, it has failed. Basically every time. I'm surprised they still try it. And they do, judging by Grimoire doing it last year. The only time I remember it working was that one where the girl comes out of the flying contraption in...

Original Poster (OP), so you don’t love the Fantasyland theater you love the live shows. That’s not a controversial opinion. I think everyone agrees a theme park needs live shows of some sort. The hate for the theater is for the theater itself and the location, which is this ugly tent where...

I could see that. It certainly beats people blaming Kathleen Kennedy or politics, which they seem to be doing for icky reasons. Neither Fast X (tenth in the Fast and Furious franchise) nor Transformers Rise of Beasts (I don't even know what movie they're up to here) did well at all, and those...

What?! Iger has been the most uncreative executive in the history of Hollywood. It's literally offensive that a guy like that is/was ever allowed to lead a Hollywood studio. He's been nothing but stonewalling new works in favor of forcing audiences to dip into sloppy seconds for well over...

People like Big Hero 6? Is Big Hero 6 known to be a big merch seller? If Big Hero 6 merch is the goal...why not just put Big Hero 6 merch in all the stores on property? Do people need vague Big Hero 6 theming in order to be convinced to buy the merch?

I don't get it. How does this redo pass the "Return on Investment" spreadsheet? It makes a ton of money now. It will make more money than it does now because....

Before I begin my critique, I'm simply going to quote legendary screenwriter William Goldman, who, when talking about success of a Hollywood film, stated basically, "Nobody knows anything." Now, if I had to pinpoint anything, I would say Pixar has become too predictable. For a while, I...

I don't understand the Mondrian squares or the linear strips on the ceiling. First of all, those are clashing aesthetics (bulk vs. long and thin, irregular/disordered vs regular/predictable). Then they throw some circle lights under it (why? this is now getting incoherent) and then there's a...

I'm pretty sure buying out that hotel would not be the DLR president's call. It would likely have to come from someone way above him.

What are you talking about, that's exactly what they did. There's barely any of the movie characters in the world of witchcraft lands.
