I’m totally okay with fanfic and fan made projects . For me the thing is that this doesn’t seem like it was made by fans who genuinely love the character. It seems like it was made by someone who wanted to make fun of the character for the purpose of a meme. Kinda like that stupid Scooby-Doo show from a bit back.
Why do you say it’s silly?
There is a food stand they could replace called KRNR: the rock station.
I will say, while I do hate all these “public domain horror cash grab films”, I’m 100% okay with Mickey being public domain. Now that the initial excitement has worn off, anything that happens next will likely be of substantial effort and quality.
It doesn’t cost Disney “that much” to operate many things they’ve cut for costs.
Surely they’ll do something. Currently The only future Mickey Mouse project coming up is the Mickey Mouse clubhouse revival.
It’s less than 2 weeks….
A small courtyard with these type of elements is the perfect final home for this film.
What's more, they could relocate existing elements from the current Muppet Courtyard. It'd be stupid easy (relatively) and next to nothing (by Disney standards) to develop this area into a serviceable land. Sure they'd have to redo MuppetVision 3-D, a minor financial hurdle, but not impossible. To that a modestly-themed splash-pad area, a few food trucks or kiosks and signage is peanuts for Disney. Comparatively, a smallish budget for the net gain of a fully-realized land.
It's a great question.... I was one that hoped they could do some sort of a refresh on the show while keeping Muppets there. They had a pretty big 'W' with the Muppet reboot (Amy Adams/Jason Segel), so I thought maybe updating some (or all) of the show to include Walter in some way would have been cool.
The problem with updating this particular show is that it’s Jim Henson’s final project. Muppet fans would probably riot if any of it got cut. Every second is chock full of iconic moments and quotable lines.
Yeah - Gonzo has evolved more than many of the muppets who have had multiple voice performers over the years. Seeing David and Steve perform gonzo and Rizzo live was a life long dream made possible by D23!
Nothing really. It's Hensons final project with the Muppets is the big one. Also it's still extremely high quality aside from the Waldo special effect.
The problem comes down to, would Disney be able to update it to something as good? And that answer is a resounding absolutely not. That's what has always made me not want them to change anything. Disney has never known what to do with the Muppets. The only things they've done that were really good are the Muppets and Muppets mayhem. And they wet the bed right after each.
I'd guess because it wasn't the last one at that point. I also think it has a larger significance to WDW as it's been around almost 20yrs longer.
Yeah, the real fun starts when the Floyd Gottfredson comic stories start entering public domain to give a public domain Mickey something more adaptable.
I hope we get a 2D animated pulp adventure movie based off those. If Disney won't do it, fans will.
Then why can't they keep Muppets 3D building only. Whatever would replace it Monsters Inc way will not succeed as Muppet 3D! Having one Muppet 3D attraction between Galaxy's Edge and Monster's Inc isn't killing immersion they already show to be okay keeping the 3D building exterior as it is..
