I'll preface this by saying that I don't mind Nemo in The Seas Pavilion. I didn't have a strong attachment to the original pavilion so I wasn't devestated by the overlay, it brought new life into the pavilion. Having said all that, I think there's a difference between adding something new to an
area and replacing something that was a better
thematic fit with something that's a worse
thematic fit. Tomorrowland is probably the worst
place for theme downgrades, in my opinion.
I agree. I also think that adding vs re-
imagining are efforts done with the utmost
care and forethought. Adding something
just for the sake of adding is short sighted,
and re-imagining something to "update" it
without consideration of it's "heritage" is
just as damaging. Either way, we can end
up with something thematically out of
place (BAH) for an overlong period of time.
As an aside, I wasn't arguing the characters
themselves, just the inclusion of ANY
characters not already associated with
EPCOT or something created just for
EPCOT. I prefer the original "vision", but I
understand that times and methods change.
I often forget about the subtle inclusion of
Disney characters, but Mickey himself sits
in the center of the MS gift shop.
