An entire land for Coco has never been proposed. In the original Beyond Big Thunder concept, there was a Latin American-styled plaza that branched out toward both Coco and Encanto attractions. In the newer Animal Kingdom concept, there is a tropical Americas village with attractions from a few IPs.
They have very plainly stated they want to add their recent hits to the parks (aka new properties)
How has the Incredibles ship sailed but not PatF?
I completely agree. Indy you can pretty well shove in and give it a animal kingdom feel very easy. That doesn't mean it's the best choice, but at least it won't completely look out of place. Encanto I can only think of the one small boy whos gift is the animal thing.
Coco is a great movie. I don't believe it needs multiple attractions but I think a dark ride would be perfect. This is the one ip I don't think I would be too upset if went into the Mexico pavilion. It would make sense since according to the creators, they got the idea for the film from the day of the dead portion of that ride.
I think that you also can play up Isabela’s power to create plants. Between Isabela & Antonio, you have a great excuse to focus on the flora & fauna of the region. Mirabel can be the audience surrogate character while the other fan-favorites (Bruno, Luisa, etc.) can have small moments too.
It's Mexican themed because (if all the rumors are true) they chose Coco as the IP to be the focus of that section, not the other way around. No one was put in a box. As with all of these large scale projects there are many ideas and concepts that get developed and then eventually one gets picked.
Who is saying they NEED to put a new hit IP in the parks? If the attraction is good the IP shouldn't greatly affect it. And if the attraction is bad will an amazing IP make it better?
Bob Iger.
Back before home video (and even television rebroadcasts), Disney would rerelease their films in theaters every seven years to reintroduce them to a new generation. This is what cemented many of these films as classics. Plus they were extremely high quality. I think the hope is that Disney+ can take care of that, but who really knows. When something bigger comes around, Coco and Encanto's streaming numbers will probably fall.
Not according to the people who wanted it rethemed.
I would assume it would be a book report ride, the animated movie has so many classic moments. Imagine floating past Pride Rock with a Rafiki animatronic lifting baby samba up, with the Circle of Life music in the background.
Of all IP integration, this is one that actually needs to happen.
I mean it's no Jungle Book overlay to Kali but it's up there.
Where was this?
Hell from the looks of it.
I’m still a little bent out of shape over Pixar Pier and feel like it is a downgrade from the 2012 DCA, but the Incredibles did make California Screamin’ better.
