As a person with several transgender friends, I am aware that (while they would not make a big stink about it or act like, as some might say, 'snowflakes',) they would probably be happy with the phasing out of "guys." Probably doesn't go over well with women that aren't used to being called...

They also JUST talked to Trowbridge on that podcast - he's been keeping himself safe by working on the Target integration of "Disney Storytelling" with the Galaxy's Edge stuff. I'll bet he's safe. Never Joe Rhode. I think that's telling.

They've been pushing Zach and Charita on the D23 podcast like wild. I imagine, as they are more willing to force IP integration into the story of the parks in a more surface-level and less expensive way than Joe would, they are more cost-effective, less research-based, and (in my experiences...

Apologies, just saw this - Fozzie nor Joe Rhode were in the "Brave Little Spark" video, so... I don't think there's precedent for the two to have met otherwise? (EDIT: Eric Jacobson WAS, as Miss Piggy, but not Joe...)

I think that this is clearly a hint that something is happening -- The videos are clearly well produced with intention, and I don't imagine they would randomly say "Joe Rhode met Fozzie Bear in a meeting" in a well-produced video for no reason. He's been forced into Avatar and Guardians (he's...

Wow. I find this revolting. At the least, I would hope that (Insert Name Of African Host Country) is to Wakanda as London is to Diagon Alley. I’d be able to at least try to swallow that. EDIT: I just can’t imagine being a person from a real African country being surrounded by 11 fully-realized...

Doesn’t the dialogue from the ride basically say that, like, “this might not be your laughin’ place, but I sure am laughin!” “There’s just BEES in there!”

I think the voice choices are absolutely fair points to make, and I don’t disagree with your thoughts on Walt’s reasoning for making the film. I think the important part is the last part: that Walt’s intention might have been to distance himself from being historical, but also that he was trying...

I didn't hear that! I've only seen speculation. Where can I find the leak?

Agreed, 100%

Uncle Remus introduces the song by saying that it is a past that he knows about, and that he thinks it was a lot better than today. He speaks as if he is intimately familiar with it. It’s also a fair assumption that Bre’r Rabbit is a version of Uncle Remus. It isn’t a jump to think of this as a...

No, because that song is about flying and believing in the power of happy memories to transport you to a magical place. In the film, “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” is also about being transported to a magical place. But this time Uncle Remus conjures “happy memories” of a a time when he was younger, an era...

It’s also a large part of FoF’s finale, and it’s sampled in Magic Happens. I can’t think of any appropriately comparable upbeat, iconic, no theme specific Disney songs immediately that can replace it. The issue isn’t the song itself. “Plenty of sunshine headin’ my way” is innocuous today, but a...

I agree. Especially because the Zebra enclosure, to my knowledge, has issues in terms of health standards for the Zebras (I believe they were/are getting sick?), effectively keeping the ending of the Safari consistently animal-free from entry into the glen till unload. The ride was designed for...

Would have been beyond disappointed if this was before COVID - It, to me, seems like a parade designed for a smaller park with intimate streets (HKDL, DCA) and, in my opinion, doesn’t have the big WDW “this float competes with the castle in photographs” energy that SpectroMagic’s Cherabog or...

This, This, THIS! I am surprised that nobody has picked up this conversation, this is a point that deserve way further examination. It looks like the opening of the “Walt Disney Pictures” screen, and for SURE opens up the opportunity to create generic merch for at LEAST DL and WDW. I bet by...

I can imagine this turning into a new Disney On Broadway-style show with a property not being used in the parks a lot, like a move of the Hercules musical from a broadway opening to a Springs opening. But I also think Cirque is a very international thing in that it is almost entirely visual and...

It is. I’ve done it... I was wondering if DL was ever planned to get enhancements?

I know, right? It’s driving me absolutely nuts!
