News New Instagram Wall in Toontown

[Sharon&Susan]

Disney has repainted the large gate near Minnie's house in Toontown, once again. This time it's perfect for taking selfies and sharing them on Instagram, so you can be the coolest kids on that side of the internet superhighway. Just remember to not use #purplewall this isn't Stitchland!

I'm shocked they didn't use that god awful modern retro Mickey that seems to be everywhere these days. But that's the only good thing I can say about this.

It looks like fan art, not like a professionally done painting that should go on a wall inside Disneyland. Also not sure how this fits inside Toontown.

Isn't this the same wall that was painted polka dot just a couple months ago, also for Insta-Pictures?

If so I expect them to repaint it every couple months for just this very purpose.

Yet the cartoon mountains in the back are faded and pealing.

 

[Magic Feather]

That looks kind of awful.

The most hilarious part is this is a backstage entrance. Inevitably, many an unexpecting custodial, attractions, F&B, character/character host CM will walk right out from the side opening, just trying to make it to their location, and inadvertently perform the perfect sneak photobomb attack.

Perfect for the Millennials then.

Toontown needs a renovation. Easily the biggest waste of space, next to the whole "Autopia" area, Star Wars Launch Bay, and dare I say.. Fantasyland theater.

Okay maybe we could use a renovation post-Chappy and Iger

Can confirm. Am a millennial. Millennials suck.

Really? We loved Fantasyland theater. The performers were hilarious.

EDIT: Never mind. I was thinking of the Royal Theater. We didn't get to see Mickey and the Magical Map because it was only showing on weekends and we were there mid-week.

I never see that theater in use. I'm sure they use it but it's been years since I've actually seen something going on in there. IMO, they should renovate it and create an entirely new show - like a mini version of Hyperion.

This is Disney now. Catering to the people who have 100,000 pictures of themselves in front of various colored scenery saved to their ICloud.

Which is why I'm slowly backing away, and I'm almost at the door.

Characters off-model and looking like middle-school dance decor..."celebrate" with a lower-case "c".... Mickey and Minnie referred to as "your pals" maybe because the person who did this didn't know the characters' names...

Did all the professional artists at DL quit recently?

I remember a few months ago it got brought up on here that none of current WDI are trained as artists like the first and second gen WDI/WDI designers were. I think this proves it. I think there are toddlers doing a better job in the Animation Academy at DCA.

Minnie's face looks like someone used the Photoshop "pinch" distortion on it.

 

[Phroobar]

I bet I can find some fan drawn art that looks exactly like that wall.

Almost exactly what I was thinking. Except my thought was slightly different...

It looks like it belongs painted on the walls of a nursery in some minor Chinese city where they have no copyright protection laws and where they can get some random 20 year old Chinese guy to paint slightly off yet reasonably accurate copyrighted characters in a really tacky color scheme and with bizarre art direction.

Honestly, this artwork is really dumb and more than a little tacky. Why?

Seriously though, it sounds like it would be a nightmare as a cast member to enter onstage right onto an Instagram wall.
