DAK “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
I'd imagine that the less advance attention they get on this, the better.

100% percent corrected. I can't wait I really want the Zootopia: Better zoogether poster.

I’d much rather get “goosed” by a bug…

I'd agree. I will definitely miss it and it worked on so many levels in the centerpiece for DAK. Watching people unfamiliar with the show react to the effects was so much fun.

"I hope no one out there is allergic to ACID"
Makes me howl with laughter every time.
I will miss all the Broadway musical show poster puns. Hysterical. I can't tell you how often we have brought up Claire DeRoom at home. It still makes me laugh. I always thought it would be a good name for a drag queen.
My "good-bye" viewing was a couple of months ago and the show was in such bad shape, it was just sad. I also understand the show frightened so many children as did Alien Encounter. I know Gazelle will be a hit. My 8-year-old grandkid knows all the words to her song and goes nuts for Gazelle. I have hopes this show will be a crowd-pleaser.
Now, if only a new lagoon show would appear. It is such a shame to leave that beautiful venue empty. I thought Rivers of Light was a beautiful show and well-scaled for the space.
As Tally the elf might say, "Get it together, Animal Kingdom"

This is exactly it. Zootopia at DAK is awful regardless of how it's executed, but I'm glad It's Tough to be a Bug is taking that bullet instead of Dinoland or Planet Watch if it had to happen. It's a small attraction that's easily ignored, replacing another small attraction that's easily ignored. I'll miss it for what it was, but much less than I'll be missing Dinosaur.
Hard, hard pass based on the IP alone. The cringe already induced based on that snippet? I feel a meal wanting to escape…

Yeah, this is a shame. ITTBAB is a much better fit and a great show. The only thing that makes this potentially redeemable is if this is the only Zootopia presence so it didn't go in TA and maybe whatever goes in AC can be something more exciting, but there is no guarantee this will have any effect on that either way.

Fun Fact: It’s Tough to Be A Bug traumatized me as a kid. Never stepped back into that theater except to walk through it one time. Will not miss It’s Tough to Be A Bug.

In my opinion, Mickey’s Phillarmagic and Muppet Vision 3D are among the best.

Multiple thoughts:
- NOT a fan of this IP as a replacement. Yet, I am happy that the IP won't have a larger presence in the park. No offense to Zootopia (it is an extremely mid addition to the Disney canon, imho), but it would be destructive to the park if it had any bigger representation.
- A shame this space was not used for an epic National Geographic presentation along the lines of Awesome Planet. Fulfilling the need for Disney affiliated properties to be advertised AND have it be an "original" attraction.
- It's Tough to Be a Bug was a great attraction but has absolutely reached its' expiration date. We all knew this was never going to be a true legacy / permanent attraction.

they have no care or bar to aim for anymore, the parks are becoming just nothing but daycare material with alcohol thrown in for profit.
Muppets is superior IMO, but Bug is very well done.
