How long will the frozen ride acutely last?

[Bairstow]

Mickey Mouse hasn't had a movie out for decades and is still so popular - lol

Well there WAS this thing, but it never hit theaters.

Like that Toy Story nonsense. No one cares about that anymore!

CGI is only one factor. Just like in live-action films that are effects heavy, while some elements may appear dated, if the story and characters are strong enough, then that won't matter. Look at Raiders of the Lost Ark, Robocop, Ghostbusters, and other films like that from the 80s. They all still hold up very well.

Don't forget The Wizard of Oz. It looked so advanced for the time period it was made that some people actually believed it was made in the decade they first saw it in.
And bad news, guys-Baymax, the Japanese dub of Big Hero Six, got outnumbered at the box office by this, which is the biggest thing in Japan since Pokemon. It still made six million dollars, though:

I think the Frozen ride will last a long time, just like the other rides based on Disney movies, as the only Disney movies that don't have long time appeal are bombs like The Black Cauldron, which failed to survive against movies which are now cult classics.

They are well overdue for a good animated comedy using original characters

Hopefully it lasts for a very long time. Malestrom was awful and this will most likely be much better

Wreck it Ralph was pretty good.

Frozen? I'm pretty sure like the Little Mermaid it won't stand the test of time. Just like that Cinderella fad. Or that Snow White folly.

Disney animated movies have amazing longevity. I can only see Frozen disappear because of its very specific CGI - it remains to be seen what the longevity of cgi movies is, so far they tend to appear quite dated quite soon. And for Disney going the temporary hype route, which means their products could lose their timeless classic appeal, and instead go the way of the rest of popular culture, short-lived and quickly discarded for the next big thing.

As for EPCOT, sadly I think the princesses and drunks and honeybooboos are here to stay. Things will get worse rather than better. Frozen sold as Norway will attract the a-cultured unwashed even more, who will then flood the surveys with complaints there is not enough to do for their snowflakes they took to the Experimental Princess Community park.

This sadly and depressingly I hate to say is true

I don't even.

I can definitely see the appeal. Too bad for Baymax though...unfortunate timing on the release I suppose.

To be honest, it'll last as long as a Nemo, Ariel, or any other animated movie ride.

Current rides have themes of animated movies that came out 10, 20, 30 years ago that people still watch to this day and appreciate them. The rides haven't "died off," either. Their hype didn't last for just a year, and it won't be that way with Frozen, either. All Disney princess movies are automatic classics, shown through generations.

I'm tired of people blatantly denying Frozen's popularity and success just because they personally find it to be a stupid movie.

I thought that Mouseketeer Mickey movie surprisingly good!

Certainly, Square Enix thought it was good enough to include in one of their Kingdom Hearts games. So far, it's the only direct-to-video feature to have that honor (though one can make the argument that the Agrabah stage in KH2 LOOSELY follows the plot of Return of Jafar, insofar that Jafar returns; otherwise there's little similarity to the actual plot).

 

[JiminyandTink]

Right, because none of the other princesses are represented in WDW AT ALL.

Well, of course you're asking, "Penelope who?" because that's the wrong name. It's Vanellope.

Not to mention that we just got a Little Mermaid ride with great anticipation 25 year after the fact

...And I'd actually love to see something Wreck-it-wralph in the parks, I love that movie!

Yeah, I would've gone nuts over Yo-Kai Watch as a kid. And it's coming to America next year so you can see it for yourself.

You're right, JiminyandTink. When that ride opened, there were five-hour waits to ride it at California Adventure, and there were also long waits for the Orlando version! Now, only the Orlando version of the ride seems to be crowded, but not as much as Mine Train. The fact that a new Snow White-inspired cartoon based on the dwarfs recently aired seems to help matters. In conclusion, not only do Disney movies raise awareness for rides, but if they did something recently with the characters, it would gain more attention. Just look at Sofia the First and it's princess cameos. I wonder what will happen with Cinderella's meet and greet when the live action version comes out-I'm predicting for long waits that aren't as extreme as Anna and Elsa

Toy story, dated as it may be seems to be doing very well for itself. just saying, although I agree with the last paragraph of your post.

It's become hip to bash the popular thing that half the world loves. It's a weird phenomenon right now. People on here think they are "hip" by being followers and doing the same thing because trust me, if Walt made Frozen, the experts on here would say it's the greatest movie ever made.

Half the people at my school love Frozen so much that SpongeBob SquarePants has become the hip thing to bash, due to the new movie looking like a rip-off of The Smurfs and how far the quality of the episodes have sunk since Season 3 or 4 (I found it annoying and never liked it from the start). I know of only three people who like it-this boy in my English class who watches the new episodes (whenever he mentions them, everyone stares at him and tells him that SpongeBob's for little kids), a boy in my photography class who wants to see that new movie and can't stop talking about it, and one of the kids in the special needs class, which is understandable, since I once read something that said many kids with special needs can relate to him in the same way toddlers can to Elmo from Sesame Street. I have ADHD myself, and the character I connect with is Scarecrow from Magic Adventures of Mumfie. Anyway, the kids at my school love singing "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" a lot (usually the second verse with the clock imitation) and a lot of the girls find Olaf so adorable that they find Hello Kitty obscure. My brother hates Frozen because it was boring and he didn't get the point of it, but his girlfriend likes Frozen and Tangled.
