Hey Corrus, out of curiosity, I understand that you're concerned about Pixar characters "taking over," but I'm not sure I understand why, or what you think the alternative would be. Could you maybe explain a bit?
I definitely understand not wanting to see the same characters
everywhere (like when you have multiple
Toy Story attractions, multiple
Finding Nemo attractions, and so on), but I think that would apply to the non-Pixar characters as well. (I wouldn't want to see Peter Pan take over the parks, and we've already heard complaining about "too much Stitch.") So what is it that concerns you so much about Pixar per se?
I think it's important that the Disney parks be full of Disney characters. While I do enjoy the attractions that aren't based on characters or films (e.g. RnRC, Expedition Everest, M:S, TT, LwtL, Soarin', etc.) I also think it would be a shame for Disney to abandon creating new attractions based on their animated features. Historically, that's always been an important part of the parks.
Trouble is, Disney hasn't had any big animated hits in a while aside from Pixar. One of the biggest was
Lilo and Stitch, but everyone complained about too much Stitch in the parks, so what alternative is there? Build another
Peter Pan attraction? Bring back an obscure film like
Oliver and Co.? Do away with the highly successful
Monsters Inc. in favor of
The Emperor's New Groove or
Treasure Planet?
I mean, I don't think that WDI wants to supersaturate the parks with Pixar either, but Disney's only big hits in the last 10 years have all been Pixar films, and Pixar is now part of Disney. What else can they do, if they want to continue developing their animated attractions?
