Uh-Oh...Looks like Paul Rudish got his hands on Figment.....
What's next? An unsettling Uncle Grampa looking Dreamfinder with the Cal Arts smile....Ugggh… why?? Yet again, this company seems to fail to understand ‘why’ people love this character and that beloved original ride. Hard pass on that.
Not sure I’d even call it CalArts. Keep in mind, much of the great Disney animators & directors came from there. But this ugly modern Cartoon Network-type style is awful to look at , no doubt about it.What's next? An unsettling Uncle Grampa looking Dreamfinder with the Cal Arts smile....
So did Paul Rudish and most of the Cartoon Network people. You gotta realize, whining about CalArts is just whining about industry trends because it's where most of the industry went to school.Not sure I’d even call it CalArts.

Any scenario where we have to settle with something that isn’t up to the quality original 83-98 attraction is simply not good enough, period. After all these years, they need to do it justice. There really isn’t any good excuse for it, especially considering how long that current abomination of an attraction has run for. I said what I said.
That’s because the current clueless head of the company genuinely thinks something like Inside Out or Ralph Breaks the Internet are good replacements or ways to fix it (Hurr Durr, Figment made an easily missable cameo in it ala Journey Into Your Imagination: the Honey I Shrunk IP redo) so it must fit! SMH… you’re totally right about tone deafness. It’s insane just how bad it is. Why would you repeat ‘the’ very same mistake you made in the past and not figure out what went wrong at this point? C’mon now.Such a fail on Disney's part not to make this an absolute STAPLE of the EPCOT redo. Like jesus how tone deaf can they be.
What we need is something along the lines of Mystic Manor. ‘Realistic Cartoomism’ as I like to call it. Something with detailed and realistic sets but with elements of whimsy in the character designs. The last thing we need is a full blown Cartoon Network rainbow vomit explosion in the style of MMRRImagine if we got a new Journey into Imagination with Dreamfinder and Figment but it was entirely screen-based with animatronics rendered like MMRR. That would be a tough pill to swallow. I almost think I'd rather keep what's there now (I can't believe I'm saying that).

I see no reason to make an entirely new ride yet again when the original was such a beloved/popular & timeless classic as-is. If attractions like Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, It’s a Small World, (heck even something like American Adventure) etc. can live on still in their mostly original state with little to very minimal changes, why can’t Journey Into Imagination?
