EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

Like you said, nowerdays it would be so easy to do. 5 rooms wouldn’t be an issue. The orignal had a big problem with the projection backdrop - every element was a separate image from a separate projector. Plenty of projectors to maintain x5 and a tendency to overheat. Today it would be one LCD screen or projector per room.

what Disney was able to achieve there in 1982 (opened 1983) is akin to what they were able to achieve with Pinocchio in 1939 (released 1940) [or what Orsen Wells did in Citizen Cane the next year...from what I understand they STILL can't fully explain how he did some of the effects back then].

Imagine if they maintained that degree of being "ahead of the curve" in 2025

BTW: I love all the "history" videos for so many different reasons, but I replay the JII the most by far...if for no other reason than to play that masterful soundtrack compilation in the background while I work
