Yes it's a great gig to have on the weekend. Come on WDWMagic and troll the "purists" with fresh opinions and perspectives that make their closed minded heads explode! 🤯

I don't think anyone (or at almost anyone) is upset simply because something is new or different. They're upset because they consider it a decrease in quality. Is that merely an opinion? Of course it is, but that doesn't mean it's WRONG or they're close minded just because you disagree with it.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who love Mission Space and are happy it replaced Horizons. There may even be people out there who think the current Imagination ride is better than the original. They're not WRONG about that, because, again, it's all opinion, but I personally couldn't disagree more.

A lot of people here (I'm not singling you out, you just happen to be the person I'm replying to) seem to think anyone who disagrees with them about something has some kind of inherent bias and that's the only reason they think that way as opposed to a sincere judgment that this or that is better or worse than before.

Not sure you can have a valid opinion on comparing actors performance with out seeing the original...
Scene by scene Genie comparisons, added to the fact that I’m not at all a Robin Williams fan.

Said it was my opinion. Didn’t say it was an informed one. 😉

Good thing I don’t actually care about anyone else’s opinion of my opinion.

Probably going to get raked over the coals again for this opinion, but the animation style of the original looks flat and lacking depth to me - especially compared to the rich colours and textures, and amazing “movement” in Moana and Coco.
It’s tough to reclaim a remake...straight up...as “superior”

Originality does matter.

I’m glad you enjoyed the movie though.

It really does depend on if you’re bringing something new to the party. It takes more effort, of course, but when it works, it REALLY pays off. Like, the original Pete’s Dragon has its charm, but the remake is passionate and leagues better than the original. (The Jungle Book remake isn’t necessarily BETTER than the original, but it’s as striking in its own way because it had an individual vision.)

You’re not gonna get a lot of traction if you’re just mimicking the original with CGI or live actors, though. It’s like when a band covers a classic song and uses the same arrangement. What’s the point?

Could be a revival of the Enchanted Forest concept they had in the 90s. Would also explain why Mary Poppins would only just get the Carousel too.

Anyone think this has a real possibility?

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!
