you're fired!!!!You were talking about Florida, I was talking about hurricanes vs. snow and how it affects me personally. Ask yourself... when is the last time I stayed on topic? See? Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Should we expect it to be almost fully silent? similar to Wall E?

Hurray! When they first briefly discussed the concept years ago this was the Pixar film I was most excited for. Then they actually discussed specifics and showed some art perhaps at D23 2 years ago and it was a big dissapointment in my opinion.
Looks like it really benefited from that major re-tooling if the trailer is any indication, consider me excited once again!
Is it weird that Disney is releasing movies this year closely tied towards some of the weakest areas in WDW? Tomorrowland, Inside Out (WoL/Imagination), now this with Dinoland.

Special addition to the Hollywood Brown Derby? or maybe a fully built version of the Carthy Theater?

Interesting that even though the dinosaurs are quite cartoony, the terrain features appear to be more realistic than any of their other films.
