Regarding the recent ‘Figment news…’ announced at the shareholders meeting yesterday….
Yeah…keep ignoring the real issue Bob.
(Fumes)
Bob the media guy…suggesting…new media for a character they have done little with besides merchandising since gutting his Original masterwork of an Attraction back in 1998.
We need more then just yet another Flash animation ‘animated’ series or attention span killing ‘short form video for the TikTok generation’ offering, Bob.
For the last 20+ years you know darn well what needs to be done, but yet AGAIN the real issue ( the Attraction ) is being ignored.
There really seems to be a backhanded push from within the Company to do absolutely nothing of any real substance related to the Attraction and the Pavillon that contains it.
This is incredibly infuriating.
So much potential there being wasted and utterly ignored…for over two decades now.
However - nothing exposes media better than tv and social media.
And of course Bob knows this.
Producing a new short series will get the character in front of millions of eager eyeballs and may even attract some new fans to the fold.
That means more merchandise sales.
Ca-Ching!
On a more positive note, it can also mean that if the series is a success, the Company may finally get serious about this matter and make some worthwhile changes.
Perhaps it could finally be the push that makes those in change seriously rethink the entire Pavillon.
Could be interesting…could be awful…..anything is possible with the imagination.
Remember when there actually used to be something imaginative in the Imagination Pavillon?
It has been a LONG, long time….but I was there when it was freshly opened and by the Gods it was spectacular and changed lives.
Today it is a total WASTE of interior space.
Even the gift shop at the exit is a shadow of it’s former self from just a few years ago.
If only today’s ’Disney’ still had some imagination…
As the years go by more and more of it seems to be slipping away.
Leaving with all the talent that has been purged or forced ‘into early retirement’.
There needs to be a imaginative experience with Figment within that Pavillon again.
TikTok shorts and a streaming series is just not that immersive, Bob.
Gotta take it to a higher (quality) level and outside of the square sized ( or rectangular sized ) viewing screen.
Get on it.
Wait, you need some help?
I know a man who could help.
Would make a real difference in the quality of the experience.
He has already proven himself…several times.
Too bad your Company has already destroyed and removed a few of his stellar efforts.
Jealously runs rampant in certain creative departments, I am well aware.
