its been a while since a animated disney (non-pixar) movie was super successful.

Tangled?

I was thinking something along the lines of putting Sugar Rush in a Fantasyland. Most of the film takes place in this world and it's absolutely amazing.

It's a shame that the Speedway isn't a bit closer to Fantasyland. That's an attraction that's screaming for a Sugar Rush overlay.

Maybe all three in the same ride? I get the idea, from seeing Wreck-It-Ralph's trailers, that Ralph himself dashes from one video game to the other. Maybe that would be a good story structure for a simulator ride that would allow guests to experience Ralph's adventure.

There can even be a cafeteria or gaming station in Game Central Station!

Tangled?

Yeah, $586 million world wide, making it the 77th top grossing movie (world wide) of all time which puts it ahead of eight of the Pixar movies. Not to shabby.

Or they could level Storybook Circus and some surrounding land to get of the berm.

Tangled?

i suppose, and it did well worldwide, but it was budgeted at 260 mil. don't know how much disney gets in box office revenue and i know there's merchandising and video sales to consider, 200 mil of that was U.S. box office, just over a 1/3 of its grand total. it also seems when a movie doesn't make up its budget domestically that its not considered a smashing success. beauty and the beast out earned tangled with 1991 ticket prices (218 mil, which is about 358 mil adjusted for inflation in 2010, the year tangled came out). i just want wreck it ralph to be amazing and for Disney to have something amazing on their hands without it having to come out of Pixar studios.

I wonder with the comment that Jenna made maybe she was hinting at the George Lucas deal. But then again this was shared between a couple of execs over the past year. But with Jenna being a Social Media Manager maybe she knew that this was going to surface soon on the internet.
