Cherry Tree Lane art showcased! Bob Chapek mentioned we will be able to walk into the Banks family home and go on an adventure with mary with more details on that to come. Meaning I don't think this is a spinner and instead a nice dark ride is being thought up! Based off the art it looks like Trip a little light and some lamp lighters might make an appearance in the area. This is truly amazing!

It has to be the way it was described, you enter the banks home and go on an adventure with Mary.
I agree. Sounded like a dark ride to me. I was pleasantly surprised by that.

So much for the insider information of a carousel

Dude...don’t get me started.
This slate of announcements today is exactly what should be expected if you look at the economic climate and recent history...we should not have expected anything more.
I actually like the poppins thing...but the movie last year was a near flop...so it’s curious then went forward with it?

I'd disagree with that, on the boards we knew poppins was coming but the idea was a spinner or something very very minimal. What was shown and discussed was something much grander than hinted here.

I just saw the article that said “ride and neighborhood no details provided”.
To be fair, he made it sound like it was going to be based on the original and not Returns.

It wasn't REALLY a flop. It just seems that way because of the massive blockbusters that bring in a billion dollars and have skewed everything for everyone. No one should have ever expected it do to those kind of numbers and it absolutely made money for Disney.

I would assume...but that’s such an odd move from “the REBOOT corporation”

It made $325 million worldwide...less than Solo
The reason why it isn’t labeled a flop is because of lower production and promotion budgets.
But In today’s Hollywood...That’s a flop.
And the reason is they made a straight, sequence by sequence remake.
Minions made $1.1 billion...in comparison
