Of course I don’t NEED it to be Pixar. But it would make sense is All I’m saying.

It would still just be two lands next to each other that have nothing thematically to do with one another, which is just as good as two lands not next to each other that have nothing thematically to do with one another. Clustering Pixar things is meaningless. Putting them all together is purely OCD appeasement. It doesn't actually make "sense" in any meaningful way.

Isn’t everything about good design “ocd appeasement”?

We don't know but I think that is possible/likely especially if they want to have any moments in the ride building that slow a bit to show scenes as could then slow down/pause for that and then "boost" up again - sort of like Hagrids

Love the emphasis on their being kinetic movement throughout the ride experience even in the queue

Not in the way suggested, no. Just because the same studio made two things doesn't mean that they "make sense" next to each other. What does Monstropolis have to do with Andy's backyard? Nothing. Putting them next to each other only means something if you have external knowledge of who made Monsters Inc. and who made Toy Story. Should Cars Road Rally and Space Ranger Spin go directly next to each other in Magic Kingdom for the same reason despite their wildly different theming?

Do you think good design is irrational?

To be fair, 'external knowledge of who made" a particular film is the organizing principle of every single Disney theme park. Pooh and Snow White, Cars and Guardians of the Galaxy, Toy Story and Star Wars - the only link is that 'external knowledge.'

Well...I think it would make sense for Hollywood Studios. The park that is about movie studios, it make thematic sense to have areas devoted to each studio. But no, it doesn't make sense in the other parks, where other theming groups are more appropriate.
But I think that ship has sailed anyway. Hollywood Studios is such a mess and doesn't have any coherent theme or organisation, which is pretty essential for a theme park.

I wouldn't really say that. You may have expectations or notions about who will show up in the park because you know what IP the park owner holds, but that is not the actual organizing principle within the park itself. They are linked to the park by the themed lands they inhabit.
They have stated that they're moving away from "functioning studio" to "stepping into worlds from film". While that shift is obviously incomplete, it still means there is now no organizational reason for the world of Monstropolis to exist directly adjacent to Andy's backyard.

No. I don’t think ocd is irrational.

Which, to be fair is still better than Universal’s hodgepodge of IP from every other major studio.

Just cause it's not as bad at Disney doesn't mean it's good. IMO the Disney parks are heading that way with a hodgepodge of random IP

I have less of an issue Monstropolis not being next to TSL and more of an issue it not being part of the outer loop they started with SWGL and TSL, instead it'll be a dead end even worse than Muppets Courtyard is today
Hopefully whatever ends up going in Animation completes the loop

I think that can be taken several ways and it's open to interpretation. No, it's not a functioning studio, as in a place where movies are made. So that doesn't preclude having a Pixar-themed area, Marvel-themed area, Lucasfilm-themed area, Disney-themed area etc, because the movies aren't made there. And "stepping into worlds from film" - this is exactly what they're doing to all the parks, the "Studios" bit doesn't make Hollywood Studios THE place to step into the worlds from film any more. I guess the ship has indeed sailed, we can argue all we want about themetic integrity, but if what Disney wants is for all parks to be stepping into the world of their movies with no other organisation than that then that is what they will do. Organisational mess and a copy of Universal is what we get.
Agreed. Especially since the park now has at least two dead-ends counting Sunset Blvd. I don't hate it in the latter's case, but now with two, this could get annoying. But then again, Universal's about to open a park with 4 deadends (and possibly 6 eventually lol)

Is it? Corporate synergy isn't one of the primary things I look for in a theme park experience.
