I don't think it looks bad per se, but I don't think it's either improved or really equal to what was before. Definitely less photogenic, for sure.

What makes it 'less photogenic'. Its everything that was there before, just a different color scheme.

Just saw a Mickey of three pixar balls (on instagram, somewhere on pixar pier) and thought that would’ve been the best option for the funwheel IMHO. It would serve the pixar theme and keep mickey in it. Thoughts?

Interesting idea, but I detest the Pixar Ball, so I’ll pass. There’s also the problem of the shape. “Hidden Mickeys” that are made up of three circles tend to look sloppy because Mickey’s ears are more irregular ellipses than circles.

The name change remains totally and unnecessarily restrictive.

Fantasyland is not called Walt Disney Animation Studios Land for good reason, because Disney is in the business of operating theme parks. And the theme is in no way the name of the studio that created an IP that's then used for a theme park attraction with a different setting, storyline, message, etc. There is no connection. Furthermore, 99% of people do not know nor care whether something is Disney or Pixar outside of the circle 7 franchises. There is negligible difference in the final product, and again, much less its adaptation to a theme park attraction. Hopefully one day the name Paradise Pier returns.

Love that they couldn't be bothered to completely redo the roof of Ariel's Grotto, and that the covered entryway was scrapped.

This is such a dud. I feel bad for everyone who had to work on it.
It feels as though concept art was more extravagant, and then, further budget cuts. It really is nothing more than a paint job and minor structural changes.
