It is likely because New Fantasyland focuses on the places the characters are from. Not the character tones in the landscape itself. Which the entire land of Villa nary would be dark in some sense. The areas of Little Mermaid are based on where that story took place, not just where Ursula might live. She is there somewhere eventually when it calls for it. But all the bad guys don't paint the entire land.

Got this from the new imagineering YouTube series. Looks like a RSR model on the same table as Cinderella Castle. I can’t make out any of the other buildings though. Could be nothing. Could be something.
It took me a while, but that’s Wandering Oakens Sleds with the bridge to Playhouse in the wilds in the foreground. Castle of Magical Dreams in the background. The orientation and placement of the castle is totally wrong…
You are right that RSR is on the table in a backstage area, behind space mountain. I don’t think it’s a HK development plot.
I honestly think this is a ‘put a bunch of models from the closet on a table for an opening shot’ thing.

Can we do a version of Toy Story where the art direction looks more like Ren and Stimpy than the classic Toy Story characters we all know and love?

except Cars Land is not rumored to be happening, only RSR, as part of a new sub land desert land.

When do we get a Spin and Marty ride?

Villains could work in DHS. We already had Fantasmic and Villains in Vogue, plus the park could finally get a boat ride if they go with that old concept.
That goes next to the Apple Dumpling Gang The RIDES Again dark ride coaster hybrid.

Along with the Swamp Fox Fury coaster
We get the Johnny Tremain lead Sons of Liberty March cavalcade nightly by then around Liberty Square to the tree as well. (That might actually be kind of cool if a live chorus of marchers)

Which has nothing at all to do with the park‘s Hollywood theme other than another IP movie, got it.

Villians Land is such a great idea which fans have been speculating about for decades, but I have little confidence that they will actually do it justice. They'd probably make it super lame somehow.
If Villians are really going to DHS then my guess is it would be because they're trying to make it more of the "thrilling/adult" park. But it would be a good fit for MK, certainly a better fit than any of the other themes being discussed so far. Having two castles, a light and a dark, in MK would be really cool imagery.

I didn't say it did? I just said that, if they're going to do it, Hollywood Studios is probably less offensive than behind Big Thunder and could provide an opportunity to transition to it a bit more gracefully. HS has already gone pretty much all-in on "enter worlds from movies" anyway, unlike the other three parks.

Route 66 did run through Los Angeles to its termination point in Santa Monica, meaning they could conceivably theme it as leaving LA on Route 66 out into the desert.
Of course then you have problems leaving a realistic Los Angeles to a Cars area (also that you'd to go through the San Jacinto mountains), but Hollywood Studios has mostly punted on any cohesive theme outside of Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard anyways.
Not that I think it's a great idea, but I do think it makes more sense than putting it at the MK, for whatever that's worth.

I wish I didn't. Never saw it but aware of it through pop culture.
Also Rdiator Springs was an Arizona inspired town. If we are justifying leaving California as a theme to Hollywood Studios....
We are really reaching to place IP everywhere as much as Bob Iger wants to.
What if the characters were not in the world we know from the movie, but start with them leaving that place to go to that place. Even though the park is themed to california, none of the attraction once it starts takes place there.
It also has nothing to do with movie making. So it fits zero!

DHS isn't really about "moving making" any more. It's about "riding the movies". If they added Cars Land to DHS and allowed guests to visit Radiator Springs, that absolutely fits that park. Just as it does with visiting Andy's backyard or Batuu. And, yes, Zootopia works as well, though I think Cars Land in general seems like a more appealing addition (in particular that it has 3 attractions and DHS needs as many as possible).
