Main Street Cinema has a new facade

[nevol]

This feels far grittier and unwelcoming imo. What's currently there is definitely more romantic and charming.

I dont get that vibe. I think the darker colors bring the cinema from a background, almost unnoticeable building to the forefront, which makes sense, because it is a theater and houses an attraction of sorts. It is more noticeable now. But if this was the only palette on main street then yes, for sure, it would be too dark. Too winter in chicago, not the California sun.

A thought just occurred to me.

Who's birthday is coming up in November....

This could be part of the whole celebration.

A thought just occurred to me.

Their would probably have to be a blog about the new color scheme though and it would probably have to open in 4 phases. Maybe it is though. Maybe next week they ll unveil a new velvet rope.

 

[mickEblu]

I'm thinking they painted the brick so that's why it looks faker now.

No matter how you slice it this news will take us until at least what, tomorrow afternoon?

Dunno, it was just a thought. But I wouldn't put it past them to have the Cinema be part of the celebration.

Wonder if they'd also turn it into a M&G area where you can meet Mickey surrounded by his original features.

The bricks are painted in a pattern which heightens the bolder colors creating an overall effect of artificiality.

I think it’s a pretty good guess

 

[Phroobar]

I like it. It looks nice.

I don’t know. This kind of news tends to take me backwards instead of forward in time. Longing for days past.

i dont think they were ever real bricks but they were painted with lighter tones.
these darker tones definately dont look well and make the fake brick work stand out more.

Main Street is just a collection of movie set facades

 

[Curious Constance]

I’m going out on a limb to say these are real bricks. Always have been. But have been painted in a way that make them look cartoony and fake.

Don’t make me put my construction hat on.

Prefer the way it looked before but not really losing sleep over it.

Me neither. It’s just getting tiresome and sad when the result of many of the recent projects (small or big) are a step backwards.

You’re not a fan of the giant blue wall behind Dumbo or the increased stroller parking in Adventureland and in front of the Haunted Mansion?

Lol. Can’t say that I am.

How hard would it be to plant some new baby hedge shrubs? I see them all over the place. Just buy them off my neighbor. They take only 5 years to grow full so, what are we waiting for.

You know it’s a bad sign when it looks temporary but it’s not.

I'm a little late to discuss this but Disney could have done better. They just want to use all their money on Marvel Land and Star Wars Land. Also, could this be a preview of what we are going to see at the Art of Animation building in DCA??

No..? If the Animation building ends up looking anything like the Main Street Cinema, I think that's the nail in the coffin for creativity at Imagineering.
