You should check out the Lost Kingdoms park from 1986 a few years ago. Easily one of my favorite projects I've been a part of and features a few of your selections like Zerzura and Buyan as well

Adding to this, what is the significance of the number “1986” to this project?My gosh the entire project seems endless and peak armchair imagineering (12 PEOPLE worked on this
This project was a full game run by @TheOriginalTiki and @mickeyfan5534 a few years back. Each round was one land, so everything you see is made up of many rounds.My gosh the entire project seems endless and peak armchair imagineering (12 PEOPLE worked on this

No real significance, as far as I know. The first season was 1984 and 1986 was a natural progression from that. Not entirely sure why we skipped 1985 though.

The first season was named 1984 after Big Brother, and we skipped to 1986 for the sequel in honor of the year the original Tomorrowland was supposed to take place in.

Going live at the top of the hour for our Oscar nomination reactions!
My initial thoughts
My initial thoughts
-Diane Warren getting nominated for "Flaming Hot" is priceless haha
-Not surprised that Blackberry got nothing, but a bit let down.
-Genuinely surprised that Saltburn also walked away with a goose egg.
-Even more surprised that Napoleon walked away with several below the line nominations
-My heart genuinely broke for Dominic Sessa and Zac Efron
-THANK GOD Danielle Brookes actually managed to make it in, because besides her Color Purple was snubbed HARD
-Of course Godzilla Minus One is up for NOTHING besides visual effects...
-Napoleon getting into production design over Asteroid City and Asteroid City also getting a goose egg
-May December got hosed HARD in the acting categories.
-Really happy that Anatomy of a Fall got in as much as it did. The editing nomination was particularly inspired.
-Similarly glad for The Zone of Interest getting some above the line stuff, though my quest to actually see the movie still remains unfruitful.
-Killers of the Flower Moon remains my golf clap "I respected it but I didn't actively enjoy watching it" pick of the season.

Interesting video just dropped from DSNY Newscast.
I never thought of this theory before, but I will admit that it does make a lot of sense when you think about this way.
For the TL;DR, Jack claims that Tiana's Bayou Adventure will make sense in Frontierland if you look at the attractions in both Frontierland and Liberty Square charting the history of America's westward expansion. Liberty Square, naturally, marks the early days of America in 1776; Country Bear Jamboree marks the year 1796, the year when Tennessee became a state, and Jack backed this claim by pointing out that according to the movie, Grizzly Hall is in the fictional Tennessee town of Pendleton; the NOLA-set Tiana's Bayou Adventure naturally marks the Louisiana Purchase; and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, with its influence from Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley, marks the Mexican Cession of 1848, when both the Utah and Arizona Territories became part of the country.

So DisneySky was a rumor in 2018?

New Park "Tokyo DisneySky" Reportedly Coming to Tokyo Disney Resort
A brand new park is reportedly coming to Tokyo Disney Resort for 2022.
tdrexplorer.com
2024 is off to a terrible start for movies, but a great start for me trying to get to a full 365 new releases this year (it's the challenge my friends and I issued to each other). For January, I'm behind the ideal 31, but not far enough I cant catch up with some double features here and there. In January I caught 24 new releases, so here they are ranked.
Note: Some of the movies had limited runs in theaters last year, but for the purposes of the challenge, my friends and I determined a "2024 film" as any film that gets a wide release in the states. If we see a movie in a limited run from this year, it counts, but any movie from last year that didn't get a wide run also counts. Anyway, here we go.

#24- Foe
Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan in a sci-fi film about clones set in the rural USA in the near future where neither of these VERY IRISH actors are allowed to have their accents and instead force American ones. Absolutely terrible movie too.
#23- Land of Bad
Even though it's not out until February, I caught this one because of a Regal Mystery Movie and it's just a terrible bro war movie that didn't need to be made nor seen.
#22- The Windigo
I was really hoping for an interesting wendigo horror movie and this one (with an all-indigenous cast) seemed like it could at least be interesting... It was not. Easily one of the least likeable protagonists I've seen in a long time and felt like it came right off the SYFY channel.
#21- The Bricklayer
Easily one of the most forgettable movies I've seen. Had a few decent action moments, but I mean it when I tell you I saw this on January 15th and have already completely forgotten 99% of what happened.
#20- Night Swim
January horror is notoriously really bad, and Blumhouse has been really hit or miss recently too, so I wasn't expecting much, but I was still disappointed.
#19- Destroy All Neighbors
If January horror is notoriously bad, January horror comedies are notoriously atrocious. Still, I had a lot of respect for the prosthetics, puppetry, and other effects, I just couldn't get behind the lead or the story. Of these bad ones though, it's the one I'd recommend checking out the most.
#18- Role Play
Kaley Cuoco is not believable as a globe-trotting assassin and her and David Oyelowo have zero chemistry. I'm not a fan of rom-coms usually, but I'd rather this movie have stuck to being a rom-com than whatever it devolved into.
#17- Spring Lakes
More January horror schlock with a bad lead performance, but at least here some of the cinematography was cool and one of the cult members was clearly having a blast being absolutely insane, so that brought a little enjoyment.
#16- BitConned
My first movie of the year dropping on Jan 1, this was a really mediocre true crime documentary about a crypto scam that unfortunately ignores the fact that crypto is, inherently, a scam.
#15- Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One
I'm not a DC fan and I have barely watched any of the DC animated films so I was out of the loop here, but at least it's a better The Flash than The Flash (2023).

#14- Beautiful Wedding
I know I just said I don't like rom-coms, but this was a date night movie so it wasn't really my choice (she didn't want to go see The Beekeeper again). Either way, it's got some funny moments, but it's a super toxic couple and I was actively rooting against them the whole time.
#13- Founders Day
A self-described "political slasher" this is one of those movies I can see some Reddit fedora-wearing guy say is "deep" and "dismantles the system" but is really just kind of a way worse Scream without any of the clever satire and abysmal acting.
#12- Lift
A super generic heist movie that literally flashes "the hacker" across the screen in the year of our lord 2024. That being said, it's easily the most tolerable Kevin Hart role in a long time.
#11- The Underdoggs
Quite literally a rated r beat-for-beat recreation of The Mighty Ducks, Champions, or Next Goal Wins but with more cursing and weed. Snoop is charismatic though and I do have a soft spot for underdog sports movies.
#10- The Kitchen
This was a solid-enough dystopian sci-fi movie with Daniel Kaluuya making his directorial debut, but by the end of the year, this is gonna be really forgettable and in the middle of the pack.
#9- The Book of Clarence
This didn't know if it wanted to be a Biblical satire like The Life of Brian or a biblical epic like Ben Hur and instead, ends up flopping around like a fish for a while before ending. It had some laughs and I love LaKeith Stanfield, but man, this one was a letdown.
#8- The Seeding
This is indie horror done right. It's by no means a great movie, but it has creepy vibes and decent enough acting. My big issue is it sets up a premise with feral children keeping a guy captive but really doesn't deliver as much feral children as I wanted. It's like a The Hills Have Eyes mixed with a Children of the Corn but if neither the mutants nor the children were in it for more than like 15 minutes.
#7- I.S.S.
I wanted to love this movie, the trailers had me hyped, but unfortunately, the intrigue doesn't last all that long and turns more into a pretty generic disaster film where it loses steam. Still visually impressive though.
#6- Self Reliance
Nick from New Girl directing and starring in a movie opposite Anna Kendrick that is produced by The Lonely Island sounds like it should be laugh out loud funny, but instead, it's a fun premise with some chuckles but is maybe a bit long and doesn't deliver exactly what I wanted. Still a decent enough time.
