I am not worried for any of the franchise' Fox owns. I am worried about the cost of movie tickets and merchandise. Disney Fox would have about 40 percent of the box office based on this year and last year' numbers. Again as a Disney stockholder I would love that but as a consumer I have doubts.

Like any pavilion content, the sponsor has a lot of influence.

I would much prefer Disney’s own Brazilian character, José Carioca, who’s well received in the country. But maybe that’s just me

I agree, the others are not Disney to me whether Disney buys them or not.

There is many an IP that didn’t start at Disney but is now home in it...
Avatar... Star Wars... they have their own lands even.
MGM was FULL of IP that didn’t belong to Disney.
Personally, our family loved the Rio movies. They were fun, energetic, and fantastic family films.
They would fit perfectly in a Brazilian based pavilion.

Unlike Coco though, Rio is a terrible representation of Brazil.
Coco is a gift for mexicans and their culture (from what I gather from the extremely positive response it has had from mexican audiences), while Rio is purely a film for americans

I never said anything against non-Disney IPs becoming Disney. I just said I much preferred José to Rio, a film that I thought was mediocre at best. I feel like Disney has the perfect opportunity to inject their own character into an original experience here.

Gotcha, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I’m sure in either case, it will be an interesting pavilion to explore.

That was what I was thinking too!

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Me, I hated it. Death Vader is not approachable. He does not ride the Tea Cups or Dumbo.Ha! That was awesome!
No, no, no! He is the reason why I am afraid to get out of bed sometimes. (He hangs out in the hallway outside my bedroom sometimes. Not sure why.)
I don’t like any of these clips that make him less menacing. He is to be feared; not mocked.
At least that ad is nowhere near as bad as this ....
The light sabre in HM was kind of funny though.

Oh man, and all this time I thought you were the perfect woman, JenniferS. Now I know you’re only practically perfect in almost every way. Anyhow, I should probably admit I have a couple t-shirts showing Darth Vader enjoying Disney rides and wearing Mickey ears. I know it’s bad but I can’t help it. Does this mean I have to give you back your key to the treehouse?

The Brazilian pavilion at the London Olympics actually had an attraction like this where you sat in a hang glider and soared over Rio (it was a bit more like an individual sorin you could control yourself). A lot of fun and would make for a good WS ride esp if you fly over iguazu falls and oscar Niemeyer designed Brasilia

Nobody had put Feather’s quote over here, so I felt like I should (hope you don’t mind, @Magic Feather )
