Right. And they were moved to Disneyland in 1966, when they were three years old. The energy dinosaurs were almost forty years old. So yes, too old.

DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

Massive mischaracterization, but okay. Literally everything they’ve done at AK thus far has been made to fit the themes well. If the rumors about IJ are true, there is no reason to automatically assume that they’re being diligent in that respect with one attraction and not the others. Again, they could misstep, but being certain of the outcome at this early stage is silly.

If "We Don't Talk About Bruno" is a part of the new attraction, I rest my case. That song, and the context in which it appears, has nothing to do with animals whatsoever.
I actually forgot about Indiana Jones. So it should actually be "Different Parts of the World Including Tropical Americas, where Encanto Takes Place and Indiana Jones Likes to Run Around, Plus an Alien Planet, with Some Animals in Some Places, and Some of Them Wear Clothes and Act Like Humans" Kingdom.

If that sequence is depicted in the ride, then the ride is a straight book report and the ride shouldn't exist in the park. If an instrumental is included somewhere along the journey while traversing the walls... it's a different matter. Like the "When We're Human" instrumental in the queue in the Magic Kingdom.

There is no reason the songs can’t be either instrumental or recontextualized (as in Frozen Ever After). If it shows up as part of the same book report scene, then the case does indeed rest. A valid concern to be sure, but there is absolutely no certainty that this is inevitably the case.

To be fair…. Taking a boat into the swamps of Louisiana and then falling down into a cave that transfers you to the Caribbean doesnt make much more sense to me!

And THAT why I count WDW as the superior version of the US PotC’s, despite being a truncated last-minute addition.
Moving deep into the bowels of a Spanish fort to discover a boat launch into a hidden cave system makes much more sense than sailing past a random bayou shack and boat.

That's silly. There's absolutely good story treatments that could make Encanto an excellent fit for DAK. Whether or not they execute such a plan is another story and I'll admit I'm not super optimistic (but Rohde being back at Disney is a good thing IMHO). But I'd at least see what they come up with before criticizing it as being out of place.

The fantastic superior queue makes up a good part of the difference in quality between MK and DL. It's so much better at setting the early scene than the boring bayou at the start in California (I'd love to have seen the shootout in MK though).
Hey, I have an idea of how Encanto can fit into Tropical Americas... Use Antonio's door!!!

Why hasn’t anyone thought of that? What a great idea!

As I've said, though, should we really expect Disney to do that? They couldn't be bothered to make the Ratatouille ride in the France pavilion focus on France instead of madness in the kitchen. Or make the Guardians of the Galaxy ride focus on energy the same like some were speculating they would.

It’s a kitchen in France, makes perfect sense.

Well we all knew Panther didn't like the Muppets but now we can add Antonio from Encanto to the list.

Hmm, lemme see here...
I have mentioned this many times and still stand by and expect down the line that the Name of the Park will change to Disney's Adventure Kingdom to fix this situation..

Why should the GotG ride focus on energy? It’s a weird take. There’s no particular reason a pavilion needs to continue to focus on the same theme as a previous unrelated one that came before.
I’m not thrilled with the execution of Cosmic Rewind but it’s because it didn’t lean as heavily into science about exploring the universe and/or the Big Bang not because it "wasn’t about energy".

Didn't Mirabel's great granddaughter visit Animal Kingdom at some time? I think there is a photo of that somewhere...

I don't think I can see that happening. Regardless of how well future additions align with the park’s themes, it’s alway gonna be half-zoo and the name needs to make that clear

Works well with Busch Gardens....One Park has hardly any animals and the other one does ..
