This is what the Disney parks blog states about "said" statue..

This is what I was thinking. The dedication speech also talked about possibilties and hope for the future but then I think about Remy's Ratatouiile Adventure, Frozen Ever After, Guardians of the Galaxy, Finding Nemo, Beauty and the Beast sing-along, and Iger and d'Amaro talking about more Disney movie promotion in the parks and I wonder if different parts of the same company ever talk to each other. Musn't be pessimistic though, let's see what happens next....

This right here. This is the reason quality has gone down over the last 20 years. WDI used to design to exceed expectations and give guests things the average person could never dream of existing. Now, they design for “good enough” and “meets the average guests expectations.” WDI should be designing to shock and inspire. This shopping mall park may shock but not in a good way, and it certainly doesn’t inspire. It’s just “fine” in every sense of the word.

No eight year old is going to walk into this space and say, “I want to work for Disney one day so that I can design something like THIS!” And that’s what is so terribly disappointing about this project.
WDI used to also understand how inspiration can be drawn from a project that is the sum of its parts. Candidly, I didn't find the previous spine any more or less inspiring and if anything, was discouraged by how dated it seemed.

At this point just bring back Great Moments at the Movies pavillion that was planned before the studios was created..

I think it looks great. Comparing it to the concrete jungle it was before, a lot more greenery is what was needed. There was never going to be an attraction in this area, and what's been built is something where guests can just go and relax. A Disney vacation can seem very much like running around like a headless chicken having to do this, do that, see this, see that. This area just creates that opportunity to just take a breath.

Oh, and the Pinar Toprak music loop is fab! 😁

Epcot probably has more water for guests to see than all of the other parks combined...FoN was impressive in the 1980s and 1990s but had become rather dated.

I want to see a walkthrough tonight, especially during a SSE light show.
And if you want active water features in the Hub, EPiC will be the the place for you.

The original plan was to have SSE Show Audio in World Celebration I think? Still the Plan?

Judging from the daytime walkthrough video @wdwmagic shared earlier, a fountain just objectively would look so much cooler than the planter. You wind your way through to the middle of all these lush plants and find a dull planter with more plants? It should lead up to something better than this.
So build a better one.
Agreed!
