Inside Out meet and greet

They don't really make the parks for critics, though - I think we can all agree on that LOL.

Put the word SPOILER inside of [ ]'s, and then at the end do the same with /SPOILER.

I do wish we had a button.

There is a button. Click on the page symbol

Well that is a little disappointing.

What is disappointing about the use of puppets? Often, I am disappointed that characters are represented with full human sized costumes. If executed well, puppets might be nice.

I just love seeing how they translate characters into the real world. More impressive to me than creating a puppet. Just my opinion!

So it can be a bigger deal once they return.

I've been surprised how long the Studio has stuck with using M&Gs to promote their films. They have incredibly low capacity, and therefore have little impact on how many people are actually driven to theaters as a result. Even if every single guest who met the characters decided to see the movie (assuming they wouldn't have otherwise), that's only around 800 guests per day. Given the operating expenses, and Disney's profit from each movie ticket, it's an incredibly poor return on investment

In the mid/late-00's, there was a long series of pre-parade units for various films (at least at DLR, not sure about WDW), and those did a great job of exposing huge groups of guests to something from the film. Given that thousands of guests line the parade route daily, while only a few hundred can attend a M&G in a day, it seems like a much easier way to get more exposure, and likely had similar operating expenses

I'm not sure exactly when they switched over to doing promotional M&Gs, but I definitely remember pre-parades as late as Up in 2009. Last year, DLR reinstated the pre-parade, as a way let more guests see Anna & Elsa. I think it would be a nice change to revive pre-parades as a general rule, and stop putting such a heavy emphasis on M&Gs, which have incredibly limited capacity by their very nature

I thought about this post and seriously wonder if the recent previews in the various theaters aren't cheaper, farther reaching, and in the eyes of execs, more effective in their reach than a meet n greet.

This may be a turning point because if you wait for WDPR to pay for the development you'll be waiting a long time

I like your thinking on this.

Terrible was the wrong word. To be sure, it was TECHNICALLY very impressive. The animation was wonderful. But the story was painfully formulaic and the characters (besides Baymax) were instantly forgettable.

Gotta agree here, plus it was ridiculously maudlin. How BH6 ever won an Oscar simultaneously mystifies me, and just further cements my thoughts that the Oscars have no legitimacy anymore (and haven't for some time.)

Oh, I beg to differ...you definitely see "short term capitalizing on promoting newest film product" complaints around these parts when Disney does do that.

The best product capitalization I have seen lately is the Minion Twinkies. Brilliant and tasty in a snack cake kinda way
