Figment was animated well before this...In the former science section of the original version there was a fish eye lens that had Figment morphing and floating around..The animation was reused in the 3rd version in Figments house in the living room tv..

Plus in 1988 they made a bunch of Educational films with Figment..
I really would hate to see Figment in Muppets in Waldo’s role.
Coolio my dude.
Doc McStuffins has a toy that looks a bit like Figment and is apparently partially based on him.
Bulldoze and start over. Once you lost the rotating scene section, this jury rigged mess was doomed from the start. Trying to tweak and bolt things on is the problem.
That would be Stuffy...Voiced by Robbie Rist who did Michelangelo in the TMNT live action films and for you old schoolers Brady Bunch's Cousin Oliver...
I Had thought he was inspired by The Reluctant Dragon due to his ears or horns.
I think that’s a little drastic coming from someone who’s is younger than the current incarnation of the attraction.
You said “we’ll never see a worthwhile successor”. That implies time. Average lifespan is roughly 78 years. Provided nothing goes wrong and you hit somewhere close to that age, that’s around 60 or so years for them to make a worthwhile successor.
I think that it’s way to early to make such negative predictions in my opinion. I understand your viewpoint, especially based on current management with the whole IPCOT scenario. The original imagination attraction has garnered a massive following among theme park fans including myself, and if Disney were smart they’d at the very least, include figment in whatever is to come, even if he’s integrated with inside out. Now we could also see an updated dreamfinder and figment attraction come to the pavilion as well, because to me nothing is ultimately impossible if in some way, management is convinced enough. After all, there were proposals as discussed early on in this thread that included dreamfinder, so at least it’s been discussed, even if proposals are almost entirely meaningless. Bottom line is, we are still quite a ways away from whatever is to become of this pavilion, but keep in mind, even though this current monstrosity has lasted since 2002, and Disney has managed to avoid it, with all of the surrounding additions being added to Epcot, such at Rat or guardians, those are just two other attractions that’ll drive guests even further away from imagination, leading Disney to almost be forced to update it, In around 5 to 7 years in my eyes.
The whole point of Imagineering's Journey into Procrastination with the pavilion overhaul is to try and wait for Inside Out to become irrelevant IP.
Imagineering is not the one procrastinating. That’s not how it works
