What makes Fantasmic special is the space and the way the show was perfectly designed to utilize it. It’s a show made to fit one particular spot, a spot where the audience can feel directly involved with the show. It simply doesn’t work in an arena setting, where the action is too distant and separated from the guest, where “viewer” and “viewed” are rigidly demarcated. It would be like sitting in the stands at a stadium and watching MSEP or Spectromagic go around a track.

All this is on top of the uncomfortable seats, the long, cement-y wait to get in, the herding and shuffling… it’s just not worth it.

I’m sure the DL version has declined since the fire. That doesn’t change the fact that the problems with the WDW version are fundamental to its design. MGM needs a show designed from the ground up for MGM.

Disney also never learned this from any of those Animal Kingdom shows in the Asian section of the park. More reasons than just that,but a large part while none of them were particularly that entertaining.

Attempting to get on topic, the current consensus is animation courtyard? If so:
  • When do you predict they announce it?
  • When does construction start?
  • Where do you predict they expand next?
  • How much longer do you think Kermit and company have left?

Well some of these are the same question phrased differently. Kermit and The Muopets are.mostly done outside of random merch and events once the daily is out.
We don't know for sure unto we know where Monsters is going.

No matter when they announce it. We are a few to four years putnas they will tie it to the third Monsters Inc based film release.

Individual studios put out out a range of movies with different genres, moods, settings, etc....

If you're against patchwork theming, then sections dedicated to a specific studio isn't what you want, else you get WALL*E next to The Good Dinosaur.

Having the entrance the way it is and then branching off of Hollywood to immerse you in the films you love. There is no reason you can't have a Pixar Studios land and have miniland areas within it. If I'm in that land, I expect to see Monsters next to Toy Story. If I'm in Lucasfilm, I expect to experience Indiana Jones adjacent to Star Wars. The overall studios "lands" are just the transition areas into the minilands that they hold.

My guesses, also DL Fantasmic was carried on their dragon’s back.
  • Late 2024
  • Spring 2025
  • Muppet Courtyard
  • Until Disney decides to build Zootopia, Springfield, or a Marvel area ( if the current Universal rumors are true)

Exactly. It just needs some linking to make it less arbitrary.

To your points, we know we are ok with Adventureland having jungle Cruise near pirates, both are characterization in tone yet different themes.
Both linked by the mythos of what people want adventure to be.

That is the issue with DHS. For the most part, all the new has come with only "We own it."

Matthew Lillard is the only live action face who tried. Does not really belong there.

Yeah, and he still sucks.

And I think with everyone else on that list doing their own voice and for tje most part, typical Schick, not a character at all means we don't want it to continue.

I bring those up because I see, for example, the DuckTales reboot voices get nothing but praise even though the celebrities aren't making any effort to sound like the originals. Where's all the complaints about THEM?

Oh, come on, that's just being mean.

Attempting to get on topic again... Has anyone else noticed that the 1 2 3 dollar menu at Mcdonalds doesnt have anything that is, in fact, 1 dollar?

That is how disappointed I would feel if Monsters Inc replaced muppets. (Close enough right?)

Agreed. My heart would like to believe that TOT is safe … but my head is saying if the marvel rumors are true, It will be re-themed. Sunset Boulevard will become an avengers campus of sorts, with RNC also becoming marvel IP.

Guessing ZOOTOPIA eventually takes echo lake/Indy. Hopefully Simpsons stays far away from DHS.

Awaiting other site to confirm an all new show Fanmuppet! Starring Sorcerer Kermit.

On a serious note. I see both side of the Fantasmic debate. It is a huge space that is only utilized once or twice a day, but its a perfectly fine show and a good ending to a HS night. I only go if there is a 2nd show. The first is bonkers with crowds. I would hate to see it go if ever decided but would perfectly understand the reasoning behind it.

You mean Accurately funny.

Something Matt V has not been described as.
Not his fault. Just a bad choice and off model they have not corrected. It certainly did not help the muppets recent attempts.

Once again, there are far worse Kermits than Matt's. Would you rather have Seth MacFarlane doing Kermit's voice?

Since we're on the subject of the puppets' voices...how come Miss Piggy is voiced by a man? And Janice the hippie girl? Why aren't women doing those voices? The Muppets seem to be an all-boys club when it comes to their performers. Pretty sexist and misogynist if you ask me. After all, it's expected now that a black person must voice a black cartoon character, and so on. So why isn't Miss Piggy being voiced by a female now? And Janice? Surely there are female puppeteers out there who could handle it? Wow. Sexist indeed. I'm only half-kidding here. I think it's a good question.
