News Disney plans to reboot Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[BrianLo]

Do you think those are worse than Home on the Range, Bolt, Meet the Robinsons, and Chicken Little?

I think we’re in another creative lull, but the 2000 run was somewhat uninterrupted between Lilo and Stich -> Bolt. The latter was supposedly the self-declared turnaround, but is awfully forgotten. Akin to Great Mouse Detective also being seen as the turning point.

We still have Encanto and regardless of what people think about it, Frozen 2 isn’t being forgotten.

Strange world has 2000 energy in the sense that I couldn’t even be bothered to watch it. I also doubt Moana 2 will be a miss, regardless of its actual quality. This lull is unique because it’s marked by theatrical sequels. Instead of the direct to VHS/DVD era.

Everyone realizes “one of the worst” doesn’t equal “worst,” right? Frozen 2 can be a soulless mess and still be on the same level as Wish, Home on the Range, and a couple others. Given Disneys output, that still makes it a rare awful movie.

Once again, you're trying to paint Frozen 2 as some creative and financial failure when it is clearly not. You wanting to keep trying to force other to think Frozen 2 is awful won't make it come true just because you really want it to be true.

Meet the Robinsons does not deserve to be listed with those other films, it’s a great movie.

 

[discos]

so, about the little mermaid show...

Yes, about that! When do we think Disney will announce an opening date?

 

[DarkMetroid567]

Frozen 2 is a bad movie, regardless of box office. It is unfocused and soulless with no reason to exist beyond the mercenary. It is very poorly written, with weak plotting, songs, and characterization. There’s a reason its presence in the parks is practically nonexistent.

Am I crazy, or do sequels rarely get a presence in the parks in the first place? Maybe some of the Toy Story 2 characters and a smidge of 3?

Sequels that weren’t direct to home video are mostly a recent phenomenon with Disney animation.

I was going to say...........Tommorrow's October........... Don't we think TDO waited long enough??? This is concerning!

Yeah, it's not a lot.

But we do get TS4 Bo Peep.

Anna and Elsa appear in F2 apparel. Frozen Christmas Special gets infused into the sing-along and the Christmas fireworks.

The Live-Action Ariel has appeared as a M&G.

Finding Dory became part of Turtle Talk.

Incredibles 2 became part of DL's pier coaster.

SWL is based on the sequel trilogy.

But in general, there really hasn't been that many sequels. DAS and WDS rarely did them until recently. Pixar does them one out of three times. Marvel does a lot of sequels, but Marvel was late getting into the parks, and is mostly excluded from WDW.

I'm surprised the original sign is still fully intact and not at least dismantled...months ago?

Any idea when this might open?

"The Fall"

You're not cleared for any further information.

Nor is anyone else.

 

[Vacationeer]

It would make sense to open before crowds ramp back up for the holidays, 5 more weeks at the latest.

Top. Men.

 

[EagleScout610]

Any idea when this might open?

Sometime between now and when the sun explodes?

 

[jrhwdw]

Sometime between now and when the sun explodes?

Honestly!

 

[jmuboy]

I could have dreamed this but I thought it was shared it would be a December opening.

Having literally never experienced this show (oops) what’s the flow in and out of this building? Is it all in/out via the courtyard? Or is either of those in the walkway in front? Just curious if AC moves forward as Monsters, what impacts might be required

Entry is from the former Mickey Avenue. Exit is through the currently closed Studio Store into AC, next to the exit to Walt Disney Presents

Not quite--exit is standalone, and located BETWEEN both closed shops (Studio Store and In Character).
