Go easy on him. He was raised by a gorilla.

Go easy on him. He was raised by a gorilla.

Or a Disney bus driver.

Okay okay . I’ll leave the last one to @MisterPenguin.

What if I told you that with the way they’ve let it degrade over the years….it is

At DCA TDA did keep that version in better shape including spiffing up the animatronics and upgrading the projection to digital per Micechat.

It did get an entire land at DCA- plus the It's Tough to be a Bug show.

I'd argue a theme park land is far more meaningful than a few D+ shorts.

Bugs Land was conceived as it was a quick and easy way to address a core criticism of DCA at the time: nothing for kids. They weren't really thinking as much about the popularity or longevity of the IP.

Explain to me how bringing back it’s tough to be a bug does that.

Helps to reemphasize the commitment to challenging what rival parks are doing. Such as what Tiana was.

It’s an example provided of what was done before. Precedent.

How does bringing back its tough to be a bug help reemphasize a commitment to challenging universal?

It’s a step in that direction not the whole picture of the plan. More to come obviously.

“Likely very new” as if we haven’t seen people complaining that this show scared their kids for over two decades. I didn’t even get to do it until I was 8 because my mother heard the stories online about it scaring kids.

They don’t care about the ROA complaints because the general public couldn’t care less and the only complaints are from a segment of Disney Parks Fandom (who they’re already rather used to hearing complaints from). The general public has shown some resistance to ITTBAB. If the GP cared about the river, they wouldn’t be axing it. But they don’t, and haven’t for I’d say a good 30+ years now. It’s really that simple.

This is why I would rather see Honey I shrunk The Audience back at the Magic Eye since nothing has changed, EO has left and the snooze fest of a animation festival is all out on Disney+ should be removed..

You are wasting your time. Tarzan has as much inside information as my dog does.

I guess Disney chooses which complaints they want to hear? Because they certainly don’t seem to care about the ROA complaints. I’m guessing it has zero to do with complaints and everything to do with getting Zootopia in there. But yes it will most likely be more child friendly partly due to the (likely very few) ITTBBAB complaints.

ROA complaints don't affect them much when its a bunch of nerds online vs actual families in the park going to guest relations (saying this as one of the aforementioned nerds)

To anyone thinking of engaging with TarzanForever:

Not yet. I’m still studying him. But I’ve narrowed it down to (1) he’s been doing hard drugs for the last 10 years or (2) he’s just *REALLY* stupid. Maybe both.

 

[SuddenStorm]

See, I was thinking about that also, but it's just odd that it's the only Pixar film to never get a short or anything.

Isn't there a National Geographic show called "It's a Real Bug's Life"?

So a theme park land and a National Geographic spinoff.

Depends on the type of bug.

Everybody knows that Ron Weasley is arachnophobic.

That could be part of Disney’s plan.

Is there any timeframe on this?

Is there any timeframe on this?

For Zootopia, Disney has said "Winter 2025", the current prevalent theory is around the November timeframe to coincide with the release of Zootopia 2.

 

[RobbinsDad]

Of all the lengthy time-frames for new attractions, this one makes the least sense. The movie should already be in the can, it's just updating interiors to match it. No reason this should take longer than 2-3 months.

 

[Ayla]

Is there any timeframe on this?

Zootopia in the tree is expected to open sometime in November to coincide with the latest film release.

You were wrong before and you're wrong now with a claim that Disney would spend tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to put in Zootopia temporarily. We all see how ridiculous the claim is.

Even if this isn't you making this up, you should re-evaluate what your friends tell you because either they're trolling you or lying to you. Are they really your friends if they do that to you? Do you want to continue to be friends with people as gullible as you are?

I doubt anyone here wants to hear any more from any of your 'insider' ""friends"".

The only thing more ridiculous then the idea of them bringing this back, is that they would actually have current plans to bring it back.
