Guessing that's something new that Pixar is using to take over the studios?
I was not all happy happy joy joy about MGM being part but thought it was better then Pixar turning it into a huge kidding land park. Cars and Incredibles and Toy Story overflowing everywhere.
Gone are the days of Mickey and Goofy. Now all we see are Stich and Woody.
I will never understand the Pixar haters. It is one of those hatreds that really have no basis.
Yes I agree that the deal made to purchase them was overpriced and terrible. I hate that it was done at that price, and I hate that Jobs has such power in the company.
However, the idea that Pixar is 'taking over' is complete stupidity.
PIXAR IS DISNEY
They are using their popular properties to create new attractions. How is that wrong? Its the smart thing to do. Why create something on a property that did $500m of total business when you can use a property that did $1b? And, really, Toy Story doesn't play as big of a part in TSM as one would think, the characters are a means to introduce a new type of interactive ride, a new innovation.
It was originally Midway Mania, without as much interaction from Toy Story. And it almost was stalled and not done because of that. They added Toy Story and its being built.
Whats better, no ride, or one with characters that are in some other attractions?
As far as the characters go ... yes, now you see Stitch (not a Pixar property, by the way) and Woody a lot. But Mickey and Goofy didn't go anywhere.
