Nice, thanks for the info! I did notice that Garner Holt's instagram page didn't mention Tiana, the Frozen ride figures, or BATB. I wonder if whoever made the Tiana figures did BATB and Frozen as well. Would be cool to know if WDI still made some figures in house.

The main animatronics revealed for the ride are obviously really impressive in their fluidity and complexity. Does anyone know if Garner Holt still manufactures all of the animatronics for Disney? I remember reading in about 2012 that Disney shut down their MAPO division of imagineering and...

Wouldn't it be great if Grizzly River Run had more theming to Ranger Woodlore and Humphrey the bear? I can imagine animation from this special playing in the queue, with any mention of Brownstone National Park replaced and reanimated to Grizzly Peak National Park. It would be great if Disney...

Is that Tiana 2D animated show still being made for Disney+? I am wondering now if there's a possibility that the show will attempt to set up the ride. Who knows, Bob Iger might be cutting it into a feature for a summer theatrical release to coincide with the ride as we speak! To be clear, that...

Agreed. It's like if the Little Mermaid ride was all about Ariel becoming the CEO of a water bottle company after she became human. The whole ride takes place in an office building and we only see her wearing a black suit. Featuring new original music from the Baha Men!

Just wait a couple of years before they re-theme it to Guardians of the Galaxy and Pixar like they did with DCA.

Agreed. I still think the worst part of this re-theme is the way the exterior mountain will look.

Some of these tracks sound like royalty free music more suited for a prescription drug advertisement than a cartoon themed land. 😬

It would be amazing if they expanded Toontown from the cave near the rollercoaster, where the Galaxy's Edge expansion or Fantasyland theater is. Imagine an indoor land (like Diagon Alley) themed to black and white cartoons from the 20's. Skeleton Dance skeletons, Oswald, etc. Or they could all...

Ok, I have a few thoughts after listening to the original Toontown area loop as well as today's newly released Toontown area music. They did a good job with the new one and I like the idea that different instruments are playing thru different speakers throughout the land- that sounds like it...

Maybe the Avatar Experience will end up being an indoor spinner ride like Mary Poppins in Epcot! "Welcome recruits! Avatar 3 releases in 2 weeks and the visual effects aren't finished yet! Step into your giant Coffee Cups and whirl thru the Weta Workshop in a caffeinated work frenzy before...

It's not going to happen, but just throwing it out there that I'd so much rather have Tony Baxter's Jolly Holiday Mary Poppins ride concept or Tokyo's Beauty and the Beast than Avatar, especially within Disneyland park. I wonder if either of those ideas could fit within the Fantasyland Theater area.

The tree itself looks fine and nobody would criticize it IF Disney didn't hype it up to be "inspired by the tree Walt Disney used to lay under and dream." It doesn't feel genuine and raises more questions than it should. What about this is inspired by Walt Disney? Now I'm imagining Walt Disney...

Wow! Never noticed the hooks or wire- but that makes sense as to why everyone refers to it as a dummy. I like that theory!

I'm glad everyone who lost sleep about the "loss" of the Toontown area music can sleep well now! It sounds pretty great, although the new loop sounds like they leaned more into music from the 80's-2000's Goofy Movie/ Disney Afternoon/MM Clubhouse rather than the original loop that referenced...

I could be totally wrong, but the B-mode mannequin snake looked to me like the original 1995 snake without any animation.

His body is also doing the classic Trump lean forward from the waist. "We own the greatest mouse who's ever lived some say. Mickey the Mouse- that's what they call him and he.. is ours. We love Mickey don't we folks! What a beautiful man! Those sleepy Warner Brothers have nothing. What do they...

“I was sitting on that train from Kansas City when a spider crawled on my arm and bit me. I thought, what if this spider gave me super powers? That’s how Spider-Man was born. Ub Iwerks was there too but he did nothing.” -Walt Disney

Re-theme Hollywood Pictures Backlot to Maroon Cartoon Studios! Or theme it to the Hyperion studios and put an Oswald ride there.

Great stuff. I posted a similar reply that is awaiting moderator approval (just FYI if you see it posted later). EDIT: I guess the post got denied, because I dont even see it as "waiting for approval" anymore. Oh well I guess we have moved on.
