Nooooooo. Ugh no. Just like Demi's version of Let It Go, that's a song I skip on the soundtrack.

I don't mind Demi's version of Let it Go, though I find the "original" better. But the extra version of How far I'll go is horrid. (Then again, Disney has a long tradition of bastardizing their own songs: Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Hunchback among many others.)

They had this same set-up 2 years ago in the former Animation building. I had gone there the day before the Oscars. The cast member working in the area shared with me that the statuette was being flown out to CA that night to arrive in time for the next day's festivities. I have also seen articles online stating that the statuette was actually going to be handed out at the following year's Oscars, so who knows where that statuette ended up. It was still a fun experience regardless to have my picture taken with it.

Also, I truly enjoyed La La Land. I have always been a fan of Ryan Gosling's since his MMC days. Cannot stop listening to the soundtrack.

I like demi's version cause she can sing well. Alessia Cara is one of those singers who does weird stuff with their vowels to sound folky and hipster. Blech.

Opetaia Foa'i got robbed. "We Know the Way" > "How Far I'll Go."

Yes, that's a really good song! If Moana wins in that category, it will be an upset for sure.

Anyone else think of this? Another attempt to make the current desolate DHS palpable to guests paying for a full price ticket? They're gonna have to offer a lot more than just a photo with a statue to make spending a day there worth the money right now. Just my opinion.

No. Of course not. This is just for "fun." Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land will be open in two years. So, try to have some understanding. It's not like Disney isn't trying here.

I think that's why it annoys me. Opetaia Foa'i contributed as much to that soundtrack as LMM and it's a shame that they picked a song where LMM has the only writing credits.

Side note, have you listened to the demo tracks on Disk 2 of the soundtrack? LMM's singing voice is horrible.


I actually think this kind of thing belongs at DHS. Small-scale diversions like this, the launch bay, the old prop shop, etc. are what help flesh out a day for people who are into more than just ticking off a list of "attractions." I don't particularly care about the Oscar but they had the carriage from the live-action Cinderella awhile back and that was pretty neat.

Very well said. Hopefully, Opetaia Foa'i will have more opportunities to showcase his talent.

Anyway, I hope Disney gets a chance to promote Avatarland during the Oscars -- other than the Superbowl, I can't think of a bigger night. I'm sure there will be some Beauty & The Beast commercials, too.
