Mrs. Potts' Cupboard gets new 'Fantasy Forest' look with thatched roof and more

[RiversideBunny]

Really does look great.

And I care because this is one of those "little things" that many are always harping on...

Yes.

I like it. It was always unclear to me where Fantasyland was supposed to be. Part of that was because of 20,000 Leagues, which was more current and industrial then anything else in FL. With that gone, and now with the planned extension of the castle walls, the more "forest"y look here, and what I expect will be consistency in the expansion, FL will be more cohesive.

Right, it should fit a bit better now.

I think the effect is more magical fantasy as peeps still have cedar shake roofs in 3D but thatched roofs are more fairy tale-ish.... the new shakes look mighty good and proper on the new SM mill roof though....and nice to see something happening...did not notice it though last weekend...darn...we were too busy peeking through cracks in the fence past Toontown to try to spot something underway....only saw dumpsters and cement....:lookaroun.

It's certainly more interesting than what was there, but my jury's still out on whether or not I actually like it. Without the other buildings and design elements around it, I just can't say it looks good...yet.

 

[imagineer boy]

I like the look, but I can't say there was anything wrong with the old look though. It didn't have the crummy mideval fair look or anything.

Exactly. Me thinks this is a harbinger of whats to come and with that in mind, its looking good.

Can't say I like it. Sorry.


Maybe it will fit in better with the FLE.

Agreed I can't believe I am saying this but I like the older version better.

Whew, what a relief. I was afraid they were going to use this kind of thatch:

Good to know they had sense enough to use the northern European thatch. Not only is it authentic, but it will transition seemlessly to Mermaid's coastline palm trees from the same region.

So is all of Fantasyland going to get this look or are we still stuck with that Medievel faire look? Cause Mrs. Potts looks cool but Winnie The Pooh right next to it looks a little weird now. (Weirder than it did before.)

The Thatch Weave was useful and life saving in the Pacific in WWII.

Winnie the Pooh should be getting a completely new facade and queue area as part of the FL Expansion.

 

[BlizzardPoke]

I like it, and when it is all done, I think it will be amazing!

 

[Bork Bork]

I wonder if Mrs. Potts will be renamed when the new BatB area opens? I'm guessing yes.

 

[SirNim]

I like it. Softer and more magical. Though a clock tower is almost always better than no clock tower, in this case it's nice.

:lol::sohappy:


Maybe THAT's why I don't like thatch.

 

[jeffk410]

creative. I am a big fan.

 

[KevinYee]

Another vote for "I like the new version."

 

[SirGoofy]

Looks nice.

 

[wm49rs]

Ditto here....:wave:

 

[HDS]

I think thatch looks good :animwink:
