Yes, but that will be $30-40k taken away from the hard working corporate honchos who struggle day to day trying to make ends meat
Don't forget Disney's new motto: "They're tourists, what do they know?"

The Hopper animatronic is flippin' awesome. I paid special attention to him last time we went. He was there, he moved, in time, hurrah!
Flik on the other hand, well, I think he'd been on the ole bumble bee juice, if you know what I mean. His eyes were not working at all! He looked spaced out and drunk.
He must go to the same bar as the IASW Hippo after the parks close.

It costs about $7000 per second for a feature animated film. So a 10 minute film costs around $4million to make. Now add the cost of coordinating animitronics and 4D effect and the cost goes much higher.
BTW, the cost of converting a current movie to digital is about $100k for the projection system and about $1000 to convert a 10 minute 35mm film to 4k resolution (2D single projector system). This does not include the cost of cleaning up the film in post production or additional cost of 3D conversion and projection. The total cost, however would still be a fraction of the cost of production ga new movie.

Well, thank goodness for Youtube having the source film to watch...Sans the AA's, Pokes and Smells...

The cleaning is probably due to the gross gunk that gets stuck in everything after a while, lol.

While I am hopeful they will both get proper, clear HD transfers....the best option for Tough to be a Bug is to go the same route as Star Wars and have it slightly change each viewing to keep brining you back in. While the same could work with Philharmagic amazingly as well, I'd also be happy with making the attraction 5-10min longer by adding some more movies in.
Muppets needs a new movie too. So much has changed for them since that opened. I'd hope they'd still keep Waldo in, at least as a cameo for nostalgic purposes.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
It's Tough to Be a Bug is one of those 3D films that's amazingly entertaining........Except after about maybe 20 times. Because of the way it is scripted.
Definitely could use an update.

Not sure where you got your numbers but I am fairly confident you are way off ... average costs per minute range from $80K to $100K depending on the type of animation ... no studio in their right mind would pay $7K per second of completed film, that would equate to $420K per minute of completed footage.

That's a great idea, have Donald visit different movies each time. Now that's an upgrade, could keep the beginning and end exactly the same and randomise the middle portions. Maybe throw in some snow machines for the Frozen sequence too! It will never happen, but we can dream

Well, he IS voiced by Dave Foley. The Kids in the Hall themselves had a joke that the drinking game for their show would be whenever you see Dave Foley's character with a drink, drinking, or drunk, take a drink, and then try not to die.

Dumbo's a ride; Magic Carpets, Tea Cups, or any spinner found at a carnival are 'Rides'. I don't think some minor theming transforms a ride into an 'attraction'.

i am referring to the fact that Disney calls everything you can do an attraction...so to speak...even if shows are somewhat in there own category..
The Great Movie Ride, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
But yes, I think people get the point that an attraction encompasses rides shows, exhibits, anything that draws people to pay money. Disney did not invent that. It is just an umbrella term.

Not just that- Manservant Hecubus gets fired, the Bearded Lady gets married, and more. Portraying someone getting drunk. It's eerie once you notice it.

I've only seen it once, seven years ago.
I've seen Guardians of the Galaxy more times. It's getting old watching the same movie. . . Maybe they should change the villian . . . To keep it fresh.

At $7k per second, a 90 minute feature animated film would cost $40 million. That's on the low end for most Disney films. Remember it is not just the animation, but sound, dialogue, music
score, etc. The costs you quoted are more likely for 2d animation for TV, not a fully rendered 4K movie produced using 3D modeling. Granted a 10 minute production for an in park movie may cost less to produce, but adding and syncing 4-D effects is an added cost.
The point was, it costs much more to create a new movie than most people think. Converting an older movie to digital projection and renovating the theater is much cheaper.
