DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[BrianLo]

I’ll throw out a point of skepticism! I’m really not convinced this area is being handled correctly. The street scape (or frankly usable building) should continue now that the show building is pushed back to cover Rise backstage.

Also not entirely convinced a go away forest will be manifesting to the extent the concept art purports unless they build a berm.

They'll just paint Rise's show building "go away scream"...I mean green

Might be a little earlier to predict the ugly box will be viewable the way it is now.

Skepticism only, for discussions sake. Even with a great berm, it’s odd to have it just boxed in by a forest on either side.

Also fair to say this is the newest change and perhaps not fully committed one way or the other.

 

[James Alucobond]

You could probably just do incredibly basic cityscape facade painting on it and it’d look fine from the distance at which it’d be viewable. But I’m also not quite convinced that the rear courtyard is going to manifest exactly as it does in the art. The math is not mathing on some of the real proportions versus the new rendering, which feels a bit like it was hastily altered in the same way that the CommuniCore Plaza art was. The latter resulted in weird things like the World Showcase being blotted out by trees where none ever existed in order to cover up the Festival Center.

 

[JackCH]

I don't think any of the concept art really shows what that plaza part will look like. The amount of space from show building to land is just too great for there not to be something missing from the concept art. (even if it is just a bigger plaza or facades).

So….. not Pixar?

So….. not Pixar?

I'm hoping that because it says One Of, that means it will be a Pixar and ICON collab like Monsters at Work was. At least we know that ICON has experience with animating the Monsters Universe, especially with Monsters at Work featuring characters from the films like Mike, Sulley, Celia and Roz

Monsters at Work is a Disney TV Animation project and was fully animated and produced outside of Pixar at international animation houses, with Pixar only helping out with occasional notes and overall direction of the show.

Using Pixar to animate a bigger project like Monstropolis would be unnecessarily expensive, considering they're one of the last few big studios still producing and animating 100% in house

Pixar has people whose job is to serve as liaisons with Walt Disney Imagineering for park projects involving Pixar properties. Walt Disney Imagineering isn’t allowed to just go do as they desire and hire whomever to develop Pixar related media.

Hiring others also goes back to the earliest Pixar projects. It’s Tough to be a Bug was done by Rythm & Hues as Pixar was too busy actually finishing A Bug’s Life.

 

[The Underminer]

I have a sneaking suspicion this new restaurant won't be as exotic as some imagine.

Unfortunately.

 

[aladdin2007]

Unfortunately.

Yeah very concerned its going to be generic, modern and bland, compared to all the charm and character of melroses, but will see.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Unfortunately.

Oh. Do you have inside information on what the menu will be?

 

[cheezbat]

California roll
Philadelphia roll
Ramen
Soba
Mike wozowski bao bun.

It'll have a line out the door

Doubt it.

The moment this was announced, a number of friends of mine and myself all said, “there goes one place we won’t be eating if it’s just sushi.”

It’s such a niche thing…and you replaced an Italian restaurant with this? Eh. It’s gotta have more than sushi.

Asian food, and sushi in general is VERY popular. If they do what Universal did with Blue Dragon and have an all encompassing menu that offers chinese, japanese, thai, etc -- yeah, this place will be a hit even after the new-ness wares off.

Yes, some sort of Asian fusion complete with the requisite Asian burger would likely work.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

I fell like it would be weird to specifically include Harryhausens (instead of other options, a new concept) and not have sushi .... Definitely can be a bit more Asian fusion in style but to no be in that direction at all wouldn't make sense

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

It’s pretty easy to have sushi on the menu and also have other items on the menu.

You can order sushi at Trader Sam’s

Obviously they are going to have more than just sushi. Why would you think they were only going to offer one type of food?
