Don't kid yourself. Kids love iPads as much as crayons. Maybe even moreso.
Just spent 8 hours at Sick Kids with my 6' 4" 16-year old, and every waiting room was packed with 3-7 year olds playing with iPads, iPhones and Samsung Galaxies. One little guy even walked up to me and eyeballing my iPad, said, "Hey, it's my turn now".
All the while, the crayons and colouring books remained largely ignored.

I have a 16 month old granddaughter that has yet to utter a single word. In fact, she just barely started walking over the last three weeks. They have a very electronics based household, so it shouldn't be surprising that she can operate an Ipad to stream cartoons from Net Flicks. With no assistance whatsoever, she finds the Net Flicks App. pushes it scrolls through to find the specific cartoon she wants, chooses it and sits there and watches the whole movie, without moving a muscle. She has a big stuffed animal that she leans against, holding the Ipad on her lap and watches it. She will look up from time to time to see if the house is on fire, but, when all is clear, she returns her attention to the screen. I don't know whether to be impressed or concerned.

So if the P&F marvel episode this summer pulls in higher than expected ratings, they'll go with that P&F 3d show in the magic eye theater? Don't think I would like Jim Carrey as Dr. Doof. If it doesn't exceed expectations, what other concepts/ideas does WDI have in mind?

It would be the 4th show in the Magic Eye
Magic Journeys 1982-1986
Captain EO 1986-1994, 2010-present
Honey I Shrunk the Audience 1994-2010

What about Adobe as a sponsor? Creative software that's an Image Works for your home and it's about as expensive as a trip to Disney.

Love it! Adobe literally survives on making people imagination come to life.

I'm gonna go view flash websites on my phone because I can!

I believe he was discussing Carrey for the live action theatrical film, not a possible theme park film.

The Crayola angle is intriguing. There is nothing quite like opening that box of crayons for the first time, when they are all perfectly shaped.

I'm curious: Crayola is a privately held LLC that employs 1,300 people. It's parent is Hallmark Cards. Does EPCOT have any sponsors are 1,300 employee LLCs like Crayola? Granted Hallmark already has an agreement with Disney to produce cards with Disney characters, which could be a plus when negotiating...but they also have agreements with 20th Century Fox, Universal Studios Hollywood, Loony Tunes, and many others.

I'm going to say that Android @@@@s because I can! And because it does!

Leave Adobe out of it. Let Disney sponsor their own attractions for once in EPCOT history!

And you saying that would indicate how little you know about the subject. I have no problem with iOS, its perfectly fine for grandparents and soccer moms that don't need anything but email.

Buy on the related topic, Sponsors have always been a part of the grand scheme. Issue influence from a creative company, like adobe, could be what Disney needs to get back to awe inspiring attractions.

I wish it was that simple. But leaving Disney to "sponsor" it's own attractions is what gives us The Seas with Nemo, an empty Wonders of Life, Imagination being stuck in suck mode, UoE requiring you to set your watch back to 1996, and cartoon characters infiltrating World Showcase.

Outside sponsorship gives us attractions like Living with the Land, Space Ship Earth, Test Track 2.0, new film in Canada... All of which have been, and continue to be high quality (though the end of SSE does need to be finished).

Then why did anyone ever invent anything after blackberry? They still handle mail incredibly well.. Also features like google now, which ironically is available to ios users today is a much better approach to instant information than siri could ever be. It just took a year for apple to allow iphone users to have it. much like google maps with navigation. only until their navigation fizzled did they allow people to have google's product.

I believe they should replace EO with a 3D representation of Martin's original JIYI video so guests can see what used to be & gripe about the current version until it gets changed.

In all seriousness though, I believe both Imagination buildings should be combined into one big super attraction where you load in the old theatre, use the full show space of both buildings, & unload on the Imagination side to a redone & reopened ImageWorks. I think we can all agree that this could be done & would be amazing if they made it about Imagination again & not your senses.

When Captain EO originally opened in 1986, didn't we stant in a theatre and then moved to omni mover? Was the Kodak film also showing? I will miss Kodak. I always enjoyed there infomercials and music.
