Just because a movie has racial undertones doesn't mean it won't make a popular ride. The movie/character tie in is irrelevant if the attraction is done well. It's when the tie in is used as a replacement for quality that it becomes a problem.
It teaches me what Oranges smell like.

Never said it did.
The ride is perfect entertainment. Does it fit the theme? Nope.
Very little?! It's the headliner!
Nothing, but it fits the theme quite well. :wave:

It may be, but the pavillion still offers so much more than that. It only takes a small chunk of TLS.

So...Nemo being a fish doesn't fit the theme of THE SEAS well?:veryconfu

The original theme "The Living Seas" was more scientific and fit 80's/90's EPCOT. But man, was it boring. Nemo gets more people in there. And even though it has more of a cartoonish vibe, it fits todays EPCOT.
To be honest, they probably would have had to add Nemo if EPCOT still followed its 80's/90's theme. It was never a fun pavillion, imo.

You clearly have no clue what EPCOT is supposed to be about. No one said anything about 2055 but it is interesting that there is nothing at all and I mean at all, even a little futuristic through out an entire pavilion in a land called Future World.
Well when it opened the ride system was almost one of a kind and had never been done before (besides in DCA). It is mor of an accent to the theme but you are right they should film something new for this ride exclusivly for EC.

Heading for the great escape.
Lightweight materials used in non powered flight,very Al Gore approved, Id say that counts.

I just wish they would use the money that would have been allocated to do this to help out the existing park in that fashion.
And a tiny part of me thinks I would have liked the aesthetic changes. Even the curved entrance and cut up Communicore.
But the content? No...

Granted, it could fit it better, it's more modern than anything, but it fits TheL and FW much better than a cartoon.:shrug:
Besides, it's PART of the Land. Not the Headliner, like Nemo is for TheS.

The only think I wouldn't have mind was the hedge maze.

Meaning "It really doesn't have anything future related, but I like it, so it's okay."
No way, no how, buddy. You're kidding yourself if you think Soarin' isn't the headliner of the land. You see the sign for it BEFORE you see the sign for the pavilion itself, not to mention it's the thing everyone runs to when the park opens. They aren't running for Living with the Land or Circle of Life.

Goofy why is it okay to slap a cartoon all over a FW pavilion but not have one in AL? You should be fine with an UP attraction in AL and the JC becoming The JC through The Jungle Book.

Sure. I know it makes no sense. But...
A) Epcot had no cartoons what so ever. It's not the end of the world to me that there's one Pavilion that's been cartooned. Whereas all of the MK is becoming cartooned, and it's becoming a Kiddy-only park. Something that Epcot isn't even close to. I'm okay with them throwing one bone to the kids there.
B) JC is still an incredibly fun and popular attraction, something TLS was not. Also, cartoons would ruin the safari like feel of JC, whereas Nemo improved The Seas by leaps and bounds.

Finding Nemo is as futuristic as any other pavilion except Mission: SPACE. Now if they would just get on board with my Discoveryland idea we'd be on to something.
