Universal invented movie monstersI am saddened that if Disney ever finally pulls the trigger on villains land they will just be accused of copying Universal when they had plenty of time to do this and get the competitive edge.
The movie was not succesful, but I stand by that Meet the Robinsons is the perfect blueprint for a Tomorrowland redesign
Futuristic, whimsical, optimistic, focused on technology but in a playful fantastical way that fits perfectly a castle park

True, but you also have to think about how much Princess and the Frog has made back in merch sales in comparison to Meet the Robinsons.Disney didn't think The Princess and the Frog was successful either, and look what we got in Frontierland.
There was a parade at MGM back in the day. I've got photos somewhere.
Coaster, Show and Ride and Go Seek would be a nice addition to DHS.Monsters Inc. is adorable, but in the wrong location...adding this show to DHS near Midway Mania is absolutely ideal. Maybe revisit the whole Timekeeper Idea...but with 21st century tchnology and lots of in-theater pracital effects....
I'm not! Serves them rightI am saddened that if Disney ever finally pulls the trigger on villains land they will just be accused of copying Universal when they had plenty of time to do this and get the competitive edge.

Disney tends to announce projects shortly after the Feasibility stage of design which is when the green light is officially given to proceed with a project. If Villains Land was a true announcement construction we would likely be seeing site work but not much vertical construction as the project would have still required a lot of design work.Wouldn't that still be under construction if they'd started the day after the D23 it was pictured? If anything it's possible they heard what Universal were doing and threw a similar idea into that D23 concept art to gauge how fans would respond even if they had no plans to start work on the area for a few years.
That's how I read the shifting plans from D23 anyway, that they announce things speculatively to get a sense of which idea has the most interest (or lack thereof). I do hope they start to become a little more concrete now they'll have real competition next year though.
Has anyone ever thought if the whole Villains D23 announcement hype had anything to do with them knowing behind that one of Universal’s upcoming lands was...I wonder if they tease villains in any way shape or form this d23? Or do they just try to brush it aside?
If anything my hope is Dark Universe is a hit that it caused Disney to finally green lit and go all out on Villains. I also think Disney Villains and Universal Monsters are different enough to where I don't think people will care. The consistent rumor is that they want to do villains, it's just a matter of what park (HS or MK, how much the budget, and how big). I know rumors are rumors but I do have confidence given that Imagineers said they noted how big the applause was.
No. Disney knew about Dark Universe years ago back even before the pandemic.Has anyone ever thought if the whole Villains D23 announcement hype had anything to do with them knowing behind that one of Universal’s upcoming lands was...
It's the only non-IP option that has been floated at all. I'd rather that than Carsland or Zootopia or whatever.I'd honestly prefer they scrap Villains land at this point (which they prob have) and come up with something better.
