^^^ And *that* is precisely why people want the original spirit and vision for the attraction brought back.
PS: I want you all to think about this. *Why* do you think they decided to make Figment an “annoying, bratty” interference in the current attraction rather than the original. What I’ve posted previously here should explain precisely why. It’s a sad, sad tale.

Because people hated JIYI enough that the symbolism of the original star taking a dump on it was good enough for an apology placeholder that Imagineers were planning on redoing with Dreamfinder as early as 2005.

You don't deserve my respect either. They can keep selling Figment without the attraction. It's not like there's a high demand for that attraction. They can sell all the t-shirts they want, but the Imagination attraction is really not good and it hasn't been good for almost 2 decades. It's funny how you call me a corporate employee since I would benefit from such sales if I cared. Maybe you know something. That character can sell with an obviously bad attraction attached to it.

Maybe you don't understand. Inside Out won't be in Imagination Pavilion.

Maybe you're like the other person that insists Inside Out go into Cranium Command in Wonders of Life Pavilion. (Other than the fact that it isn't there anymore and it will become Play Pavilion, I'm sure it will work.)

Nope. You’re wrong. Epcot isn’t a theme park and Pixar Pier was the best money Disney ever spent. Glitter and Emotions on sticks will be most amazing movie theme park ride along with big blue coaster super themed building!

PS: It doesn’t *exactly* have to be “going back” either. It can be a *new* Journey Into Imagination ride, with elements from the original and the recent comic series put in. Heck, if you wanted to. Since Figment *has* met and interacted with film IP characters before in the Language Arts Through Imagination short films (like Alice & Peter Pan for instance). (Not to mention Dr. Channing from Honey, I Shrunk the Audience and some of other film characters featured in the Institute) It *could* technically be utilized properly without it being intrusive.
Think Disneyland’s treatment of It’s a Small World. You can see various small cameos in the form of items or small appearances. And it still works, as it’s based on the theme of abstract thoughts and all the creative realms.
*Infact*, you can actually find concept art of the original Literature scene that utilizes the Cheshire Cat for the ‘Cat/Bat’ shadow illusion gag. And a section with an open comic featuring Spider Man. (i’m Not even kidding. I’ll try to find this artwork and post it here later). But it can easily work.

And you know how at the end, after exploring each creative realm, Figment ultimately decides to take all he learned and apply that to becoming a “film” star (*cough cough* Kodak film. Lol) and we get to see him imagine himself in different roles? As a cowboy, a super hero, an ice climber, a scientist, a pirate, etc.)
Now who’s to say you couldn’t change that slightly to have Figment imagine himself as different Disney film character roles. Say instead of a pirate, you could have Figment dressed in the role of Jack Sparrow fighting Davey Jones, or Figment imagining himself as Woody riding on Bullseye alongside Jessie. Why not Figment climbing the ice tower/castle with Olaf or Elsa? Why not Figment imagine himself as Rocket with the Guardians of the Galaxy (synergy. LOL).

It works.. it can be reimagined and not completely destroy the spirit or theme of the original ride. It can still be done in a cohesive and non-intrusive,respectful way

Another idea I had was.. you know how there’s a traditionally animated Genie and group of fairies in this scene also? So I figure, another great IP integration here would be to replace that genie with Aladdin’s classic Robin Williams Genie and replace the generic fairies with the Disney fairies (Tink, etc.) But yeah... just a thought

Maybe this new Pixar movie will resolve the issue.

was wondering if anyone knew if the pixar short film thing was still gonna be around for the next couple of years if (i was there last week) and thought maybe that can be a good spot for inside out instead of using the imagination pavalion so inside out can be like a theatre show like M.I.L.F (like have joy sadness and the gang) interating with guess in Rileys mind. The reasons I say this is because I doubt people like or dislike the pixar short film area and i feel it would be a good area to put inside out instead of the journey pavilion; (Also does anyone know if the pixar short thing is suppose to be permeant or was it a temporary thing)

That’s a good thought. I don’t think we have heard anything one way or another about the Pixar Shorts, but I would be shocked if it was part of the long-term plan for the Imagination pavilion to keep them around.

So yeah...

How about that Imagination Pavillion, huh?

It really is indeed depressing to think that the current incarnation of the ride through Attraction has now been there longer then the Original.

So, so wrong....in so many ways.

It says alot when Imagination is trashed and the best we can do is Play.

Futurewasteland is transforming into wall-to-wall IP, and World Showcase has devolved into Drunktopia.

What's next? Deabaucheryland?
