Pixar film festival refurb?

[WondersOfLife]

Ellen?

Ellen is too loud and the seats aren't as comfortable... Too bad they don't let you lay down.

I really love the theme to the show

Wait till you hear it with clean audio!

 

[*Q*]

I would generally agree about the silliness of watching cartoon shorts in the theater at the park when you can just watch them at home on YouTube... but that Get a Horse short was made for the 3-D theater. It just isn't anywhere near as cool or as fun watching it in 2-D on your phone or computer monitor. It's like if you were to watch Honey, I Shrunk the Audience or Muppet*Vision on YouTube.

You have to wait for the lights to go out to lie down.

Agreed. The Film Festival is still the cheapest, least exciting thing they could have put in that space but the shorts themselves are quality, and seeing them in 3D isn't exactly something everyone can do at home. I wouldn't recommend the attraction to someone unless they were exhausted and wanted someplace to sit down in, but it's not a bad experience itself.

I never experienced Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.. :/

It will of course look very dated now but in my opinion it is much better than captain EO and actually fits the theme of the imagination pavilion as loose as that is these days!

 

[JustInTime]

I liked the Pixar shorts way more than HISTK and EO. We all really liked it.

Ahhh. Might I suggest this amazing tribute to HISTA provided by our good friend Martin...

Ditto.

This was one of favorite things we did at Epcot. A total surprise hit...

I haven't been able to experience this yet (forgot about it last trip) and while I would MUCH rather have something in the spirit of EPCOT Center, it isn't the worst thing they could have stuck in there. I missed seeing Get A Horse! on the big screen, and I would love to see it in a theater. I think it would be a much better fit in Hollywood Studios, but I digress.

OMG! Get A Horse is the best 3D ever! And, such a good MM short, too.

I would LOVE to see it in 3D. I love that short so much!

I wish GAH Was its own film it was that good.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

at the very least change the short films around for god's sake.

Orlando Parks News is saying two of the shorts (not "Get a Horse") are being changed.

 

[Jeff456]

Disappointing that it is being confirmed that it's just two new shorts... Would have liked to have seen HISTA not that that was ever likely...

We still have D23 to look towards, I guess...

HISTA was woefully outdated and has run its course, in my ever-so-humble opinion.

With that being said, Pixar Short Film Festival is a poor fit for Epcot (at best). The entire pavilion needs to be rethought.

I'd forgotten how long the pre-show Kodak segment was Like, I remembered that it was long, but I thought it was just a "everything felt longer as a kid" thing. Nope, it was just a really, really long advertisement.
