sorry - still can't get past the Mickey on the left. Something just seems off about it.

You want to see a weird Mickey? Check out the Nash Rambler commercials..

Yes, but we're reflecting on Mickey..

 

[MisterPenguin]

If Mickey and Figment can be in the same universe they should have done something similar and incorporate this..

Can someone explain where Mickey's left hand and Minnie's right are?

So... is this how they off Figment? By giving him a space helmet with no glass breathable bubble?

Behind each other's backs...

What? your back doesn't get itchy?

 

[MisterPenguin]

Behind each other's backs...

Ah, I see it now. Looked like Mickey was holding his arm out for Minnie to take and then shoved his hand in his pocket.

Now, are you sure Minnie's hand is behind Mickey's back and not shoved down his pocket?

Yeah...i have mixed feelings about that stylized Mickey mural in the shop.

The graphic style belongs over at World of Disney.
Not really a good 'fit' for Epcot, but that is just me perhaps.

Would have been nice if it was a mural design that directly related to Epcot itself....and not just 'generic Mickey'.
But today it is all about Instagrammable walls to do 'selfies' against, so.....
Mission accomplished.

IMO they should've got one of Festival arts creators to make a decent Figment Mural..

I thought it was strange that Zach never mentioned the artist’s name in his epically long description. According to Twitter, it’s Francisco Herrera (@herrerabox). Talented guy, but not really my thing.

 

[Texas84]

I'm not outraged about the mural. But I agree that an Epcot mural would have been much more appropriate. The 'Epcot is dead' crowd is starting to get to me.

Yeah, I was quite surprised he didn't name the artist. Was an odd choice to emphasise that the artist's brush strokes could be seen, but then not to mention who the artist was and act as though it was just anonymously churned out of the big DisneyParks machine. Maybe it would have helped to head off some of the criticism if people could at least see they had commissioned an artist who has a particular style and who had worked with Disney before.

It’s usually a tradition in the parks to not mention individual artists/imagineers contributions to projects and leave it as a collective effort of the organization. “There’s only one name above the door and it’s Walt’s”.

With a mural like that, how about something that makes more sense. Well “Mouse” it’s about Mickey Mouse after all. And, well, gear is sold. I know, “Mouse Gear”! Gad, I’m good.

I guess that makes sense to some degree, though I still think making a point that "you can see the brushstrokes and movement directly from the artist’s hands" and then refusing to name the artist because they all work for the Walt Disney Company and that's the only name that matters reads as weirdly cold and corporate.
