News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[CJR]

It’s not - the same company that doesn’t want muppets and monsters inc. next to each other for thematic integrity is plopping cars next to Tiana and Big Thunder.

And HM, just sayin'. lol

The difference here though is Monstropolis is a whole land themed to Monsters Inc where the other two are multi-IP lands and they seem to care less about it. Still, I'll agree, it's an easy workaround if they want to keep both, and still have WDP spilling into the land.

that’s my point though… it’s not a land in the traditional sense. They call San Fransokyo a land - which is nonsense.

I don’t think it would accommodate current crowds - I know the first year they tried to do Comedy Warehouse they filled every performance standing room only.

I think that’s a good problem to have vs. today. Maybe they even make it a LL as a result

In terms of people seeing Muppetvision that actually want to see it on a given day, I think the Mickey Shorts theater would accommodate just fine if they can bring over the effects

Are the muppets forcing guests to see the show again!? I thought they put an end to that after they kidnapped Jack Black!

 

[Tha Realest]

I don’t want MuppetVision if it doesn’t have Statler & Waldorf or the Penguin orchestra.

No - just throw it on Disney+. Same experience.

I would bet more money on Disney moving the Rivers of America to the Mickey shorts theater than them moving MuppetVision there (or anywhere else).

Could this delay...

There is no delay, except in the minds of some of us.

Disney never set a timeline to announce where Monstropolis was going.

Therefore, there is no delay.

Their marketing team could already have a schedule of follow-up posts on all the new things announced, and a Monstropolis update may have been planned for late September.

We don't know when a follow-up was planned, so, we don't know if there is a delay.

We don't know exactly where Villains Land will go. Will it occupy the Northern loop of RoA or go beyond it? But no one (that I know of) is saying Disney is "delayed" in letting us know where Villains is going.

Just get rid of the mermaid show

That would not go well lol

Why? Why not have more options for guests? Get rid of the freaking massive office building that used to be Animation and build all of Monstropolis there in what is currently backstage. Plenty of room

What effects did the DCA version of Muppets have?

I think it was all of the same - it didn’t have the scrims over the walls - it was all digit I think but other than that I’m pretty sure it was the same.

Does monsters really Need a whole mini land? Why can’t the factory go next to muppets? There’s nothing inherently transportive about the monsters settings. In this case I’d be ok with scaling the land down and keeping the coaster and restaurant

Some other things in the theater itself looked more refined than the original DHS version. Case in point, the theater curtains at DCA looked far better.

Oh I think it would be quite charming to see all of the Monsters twists on what seems like a human city. The artwork shows quite a few of those that potential details and they look great

And those facades can be on the side of the muppet building. Easy.

I’d be curious if anyone has any insight on the bizarre “detheming” they did to MV3D a few years back. I get the balloon caused sightline issues, but I don’t understand why they had to remove props and paint over murals. And when the sign changed people were concerned they would start using the theater for movie previews, but thankfully that never happened

and leave the show there you mean? You end up with Muppetvision stranded between SWGE and Monstropolis if that’s what you’re implying?

If cars can be next to Tiana why can’t muppets be next to monsters?

 

[Quietmouse]

considering how much of a mess disney is at the moment I genuinely don’t think they know where it’s going.

They were pretty quick to tell the press that roa was going away, and like wise I feel if they knew about the muppets fate they would have done a similar immediate press release.

So my best guess is they genuinely don’t have a plan just yet, just a concept that they could deliver to d23.
