Huh?? He even confirmed they screened it today just like Lutz said and he didn't say No EO he didnt really say anything

Just saying I wouldn't be surprised is all.

 

[jt04]

Really? No Captain Eo? Not too surprising on one hand figuring the source of the rumor, but still. Interesting.

I'm telling you it would be a public relations fiasco. Both with people who would be offended by it and from the respect that people will accuse Disney of exploitation. I would agree with both opinions. They ought to give the film to the estate and let them release it if they choose on DVD.

so yea, about this saturday...

Well its one picture of the model of the mansion at Mystic Point

LOVELY! That's really awesome.

I'm still optimistic. But once I reveal what I'm thinking, right or wrong, you will see why I was thinking it. Cryptic enough for you? :

Yes.:dazzle:

The medication isnt working

:ROFLOL:

Why do you think I'm talking about the model? :veryconfuI'm not. I'm talking about the concept. It is first rate Imagineering. Old school perfection. :king:

I agree, but the models have always been good. It's the art that suffered.:shrug:

Merchandising event

What is D23, Alex?:lookaroun

I'll take a nap for a hundred.

I will not be at D23, but will do my best to keep track of all the news that comes out of it. This thread will be kept for news and discussion. I will update the original post as needed with information about Walt Disney World, The Other Disney Parks, and other important information that comes out of the D23 convention.

I will also link to concept art and other areas directly from this front page in hopes of setting this up as a one stop shop for D23 info.

Is it supposed to be a confirmation that EO is not returning to Paris - the city in France - or not returning to parks - like Disneyland and WDW? Somebody somewhere had it as "Parls", a typo, and since the K and L are right next to each other on tiny keyboards, its an easy mistake to mistype or misread.

Or has Disney already pretty much backtracked from saying it will not return ("looking into it")?

Isn't Paris, Michael Jackson's daugther? Is she the one who asked? Now im super confused

Ah, true!:lol:

Why would she be mentioned there, though?

 

[DisneyRoxMySox]

I guess you guys are right. Guess it's been covered in the media enough. Just seems like they could at least thank them for their efforts with TWDC and the "hearts go out to the families" spiel. I know they don't want to bring up the "bad publicity" of it but it just seems strange to me that they would just go on acting like it didn't happen and that those CM's just "magically" disappeared. I mean no disrespect to those who passed. If Disney doesn't want to, I, for one, at least am going to thank them for their work while they were at The World.

But in short, you're probably right, they won't want to bring it up at a convention like this and paint that image straight out of the gate.

I feel like the shareholders meeting may be a better place to mention an event like this.

Back to the good stuff!

[CastleBound]

WOW! Carsland will be outstanding! the model alone is impressive, now imagine how huge it will be with the mountains and the town. I am soooo excited for that. Its completely tooooo far away!

 

[SirGoofy]

And Carsland is yet another reason why DLR will be better than WDWR in a few years.
