If it is indeed an adaptation of the movie instead of an original story, I can think of at least 3 scenes that could use dancing skeletons in some ways. After seeing the movie, I’m more than convinced that it deserves a ride in the Mexican Pavilion more than any other IP, either screens and AAs can work pretty well with it.
That's a figure I've heard.
Is it just destined to the overlay, or would it also be used on some changed to the pavilion?
As far as I know just the ride.
What was frozens budget again?
I believe it was also in the $75 million range
I think he is saying that it would be a difficult engineering problem. Most of the motors, wires, etc. are hidden underneath the "flesh" of the animatronics. Being able to hide all that within the "bones" of a skeleton would take a lot of effort. You would either need to have everything miniaturized, make the "bones" unrealistically large, or have a clever way to hide everything (costumes which defeat the point, hidden behind scenery, etc.)
Well, most of the skeletons have clothings, for example Mamma Imelda is wearing a dress, and Ernesto has some sort of Mariachi Suit with the only uncovered being the abdomen area. The difficult one would be Héctor, as his clothes are in a poor condition, so if skeletons AAs are used most of it could be hidden underneath the clothes...
@marni1971 if I remember correctly, you said that Gran Fiesta should close by late 2019 in order to open as Coco in late 2020, is that still the plan?
That is a lot of bones
I feel like Black Light could work as the Land of Dead is colorful and vibrant, and also set in some sort of night time, so personally I believe it could work fine with the attraction!
According to @RSoxNo1 site, it had a 75 million budget for the re-do of the whole Norway Pavilion
