I usually don't read that other site your are referring to - but I'll say this: I've seen a lot of criticism over there re: WDW Hurricane Matthew response, more so than I have here.
It's like I've entered the Twilight Zone.

At least The Smurfs: The Lost Village seems decent.

I'm getting a Sausage Party vibe from the part about them waiting to be picked next. I doubt this movie will be nearly as good though.

And I'm getting a huge WIR vibe from them being inside a smartphone going from one colorful app "world" to the next to help the main character find his true self.

Love the how DARE you close the parks attitude being shown, I think Disney Ops made the right calls in closing when they did because Matthew was a extremely unpredictable storm. The overpriced hurricane boxes well NOT GOOD, I could see those being comped or a couple of bucks but 12.99...

I feel like there's also going to be a lot of Inside Out-esque elements

If this news item is true... and Disney plans on replacing live-action Mulan's love interest with a white male... I just hope it's a silly rumor and not the real thing. Certainly not "Distinctly Chinese(!)"

I mostly lurk, read and contemplate the various posts on this forum. I have been thinking about this for awhile and upon mourning the death of the Magic Kingdom's night time parade, I have decided it was time to post. If it had a title, I think it would be Tarnished Pixie Dust,
It is no great news that things change and people change. Depending on their circumstances, what people think they want also changes with the times. With our younger generations being so tuned into social and other media, what they want is very often what they are told they want or see others having or doing.
In the case of Walt Disney World, unless they have been visiting since they were a small child, they have no frame of reference as to its earlier years. In fact, many or most of the earlier years were before they were born. What is familiar to them and what they want is what is current for them. It may be a Marvel character, a popular movie or even an app. on their phone. While I can fault Disney for many things, I can't really fault them for thinking of their future customer base and giving them what they want, These newer "guests" will go to the Disney parks, have a marvelous time and not miss what they don't know or remember.
Over the years the average age of children in the parks has gotten considerably younger than when the parks first opened, so some classic animated characters and princesses will always be there along with as many new princesses as possible because they and the meet and greets attract the families with young children.
One point to all this is that, while I and many of you feel that what is a classic ride or attraction should be left alone to be appreciated as a classic, this may not and probably will not happen.
The other point is that we older Disney fans remember when there were fewer meet and greets leaving space for more of the smaller rides and attractions, all the restaurants were open (even Aunt Polly's) ,there were free shows in the Diamond Horseshoe, there were no empty show spaces or empty buildings in any of the parks, the second floor of the Imagination Pavilion was a wonderful place, new rides and attractions were added that did not overlay or replace older attractions, every park had a parade, except during the slow season there were two parades a night in the Magic Kingdom and you didn't have to pay extra for a party or have a fast pass for a good place to watch a parade, show, or fireworks, Plus, we older fans know from experience that we are constantly getting less value for more money. We see the tarnish on the Pixie Dust. The newer, younger guest is aware of none of this.
Yes, there are new attractions to enjoy throughout the parks and it is certainly possible to visit and have a great time, but as much as we would like it, Walt Disney World will never again be as we loved it and remember it . We can enjoy it as it is, gripe and grumble about it, hope and dream about how it may be at some future time or decide the value is no longer worth the cost and stay away remembering it as it once was. The choice is ours to make.

The Lego Movie was directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Their track record before working on The Lego Movie included Clone High, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and the 21 Jump Street remake. The guy directing Emoji worked on dtv sequels to Disney movies.

What keeps customers coming back is not the story but the subtleties and nuance, the special details.
