A figment of his imagination!

Watching those clips made me realize how much we need a 2D-animated Figment SOMETHING.

I am also following Dreamfinderguy's twitter and this image alone is mindboggling to me. Exactly how much was cut from YOUR Imagination (if the seller is accurate)/Journey into imagination with Figment?

Disney responded and the effects were fixed by the next time I visited (I went around a week after so I'm not sure how long it took.) But again, the same issues keep popping up eventually.

It's crazy that Figment hasn't shown up on Disney+ yet.

I wonder if there were initially plans for Figment to be included in Journey Into Your Imagination but then they reduced his role to a cameo for whatever reason.

The newer ones would’ve been developed circa 1990, so I’m assuming Billy.

Billy’s. Corey’s were done for the CG animations in ‘99-01’s Your Imagination.

Looks more like a never realized ImageWorks activity than anything from the ride

I've archived all the auctions (that I am aware of), so I made a little thread showcasing all of them
I decided to make a thread about these mysterious auction papers, uploaded onto ebay by a user called "durukzez". Judging by his ebay profile, this dude seems legit, he is an ex-imagineer who is selling old documents and the like from disney. One of the most intriguing to me is a copy of OC Weekly criticizing the "California Adventure" park.
The other of course, being the main subject/inspiration of this thread. The Imagination Papers. According to the title and description of the sales, these papers came from the "YOUR Imagination" variation of the attraction. Now at first glance, this may seem like a mistake because all of the concept papers feature Figment in one way or another, while the attraction is notable for a total lack of Figment due to an Eisner mandate. But due to how much this dude has collected and how accurate the collection has been so far (at least to a single glance at ebay), I think this is the real deal and one of the most baffling Disney Imagineering finds ever if I am right. Special thanks to @DreamfinderGuy's twitter for notifying me about this guy.
Now onto the archive I have gathered of the Imagination stuff specifically
KALEIDOSCOPE
My best guess is this was meant for the finale or a modern day version of the original Imagework's magic Kaleidoscope.
IMAGINATION INSTITUTE LOGO
Pretty standard stuff here, it's the logo but with figment's face
IMAGINATION SCANNER (forgive the image quality here)
Three Figments in the imagination scanner. Perhaps his new origin of being "found" by the imagination scanner would have played a larger role in the original pitch for the ride. Instead this information is only given in a brief pre-show video that would have been hard to come by, especially given the ride had often times zero line.
FIGMENT WITH A TUBA
The best image of the bunch and the most dang-ing evidence for the "these are for the Journey into Imagination with Figment ride" theory, as that does have a "Figment's Music Maker" attraction, which has this exact model.
However, I could see it being possible this model was made for the "YOUR Imagination" version as well, as that ride's queue featured Figment bugging Nigel (though unintentionally).
FIGMENT'S FUNHOUSE
The most bizarre of the document findings thus far. My best guess is that "Figment's Funhouse" is a cut attraction, rename, or retheme of the imageworks that just didn't make the cut.

Disney needs to make a Disney+ animated series focused on Figment and Dreamfinder.

Martin are you archiving those photos and videos?

Here's some food for thought - if Disney hadn't removed the original Journey Into Imagination back in the 1990s, would it have survived Iger's reign? And even if it had, would it have survived Chapek's?
Under Iger, not even the Great Movie Ride was safe. Keep that in mind.

Atleast MMRR isn’t a massive downgrade like JIYI was

That reminds me. Anyone remember that “Dreamfinders” series that never happened? Might be something cool to update and try again.
