News Mickey Shorts Theater Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

[Fox&Hound]

While I always appreciate change, the new mantra of Disney to show tv/movie clips in buildings that used to house actual attractions is getting a bit stale. At least with EPCOT for the pixar film festival they added effects and lighting and it turned out to be a cute little attraction. Is this just going to show the new Mickey cartoons you can watch on Disney Jr? Seems random at best...

If this doesn’t come online until Spring, I hope it’s something more substantial than just movie clips. They could have quietly converted Path of the Jedi to something like that overnight without making a big “coming soon” announcement on the blog about it.

There's too many theater shows as it is in this park. Showing Mickey shorts that have already appeared on television? Yawn.

Hearing that this is replacing Muppet*Vision 3D? Is that speculation or truth?

You also have the Mickey Sorcerer and Minnie Hollywood meet-and-greets in that area...themed to "red carpet dreams"

Well one show theatre is slated to become a ride...

Which one?

Theater District East and West is a cast member term which is how they know where they are going to work. It's Star Tours, Jedi, Muppets, Indy, Frozen, center stage, and chineses theater and includes the carts and shops. It does not include Commissary or Animation AFAIK. I'm not a CM.

You want theatre shows?

Interchangeable Dark Ride using screens and trackless tech.

I would think this would tie into MMRR would it not, is it not supposed to be based on characters from shorts? So in that area makes sense.

I don't understand why they had to be so vague about it?

This could have made more sense to tie in with Mickey's 90th and showed a showcase of Classic shorts..But, as they want to promote the new versions it fits with the attraction..

Could the reference to the theater district be a hint at a renaming of the lands here as well? Just like the new focus on the Worlds of Epcot, DHS will have Districts (except for the immersive lands?).

In the CM world, the area has been named “theatre district“ for years. Nothing new or groundbreaking here..
