[comics101]

That's because they're terrified they'll be found out as useless to the operation of the company. Walt would of called them "dead weight."

AMEN to that!!!!!:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

I don't know. It sounds like PIXAR is coming in and changing the way everything works at the WDC. I don't nessecarily think this is a great thing. And I don't think anymore money needs to be lost due to the fact Lasseter thinks it could be better. As someone else said, I'm not a Lasseter-hater nessecarily, I think he's a creative genius, but I don't believe he knows what he's doing when it comes to bussiness. He wastes money on things so that they go his way. (Meet the Robinson's is a good example of this) Disney needs to make money, and I don't think wasting money on tweaking a movie a little bit, or closing down direct-to-video sequels is the way to do this.

Destroying Disney's image as a quality brand via direct-to-video sequels and releasing really horrible animated films (which the company was known as the leader in) is not the way to make any money either.

It merely tarnishes the brand for some short term padding of executive bonuses.

And that's a bad thing ???

It's not Disney v Pixar, its late Eisner era Disney v Pixar (The Real Disney as of late).

Pixar are changing things, for the better, back to the way Disney used to operate. The way WDC began to operate under Eisner near the end of his tenure was not Disney like, all Pixar are doing is trying to put the Disney back in Disney. Of course there are going to be some "left over from the Eisner era execs" who are now scared their going to be found out for the dead weight they are (as merf said), and are probably going to try and kick up a fuss.

Disney said in the Orlando Sentinel that the park would not be renamed Disney Pixar Studios. It said, like you mentioned, that an area was being created.

Bingo. Don't refer to it as Disney-Pixar Studios, they already said its not happening.

It is the Disney-MGM Studios which will soon feature a Pixar focused area.

However, I can totally see a Pixar themed family coaster going in near the Backlot Tour. I've heard both rumors of the shuttles being removed and a new attraction being placed in Soundstage 1. A small family coaster could fit in Soundstage 1. And its in the right spot for Pixar.

That attraction could be awesome. But because it's based on animated characters, could they even make it a "coaster". Much less a Dueling Dragons level of intensity :lol:

Wouldn't have to be that intense. Make it an inverted Wild Mouse. Reverchon makes one, and Arrow has the ArrowBATIC concept on the shelf.

So if they went the Wild Mouse route, is there any way to make it an E-ticket type attraction, or will it be limited somewhat and can only be on the level of something like Primeval Whirl?

Basically, can they do more with a Wild Mouse than what they have done in the past or is the type of ride set up itself hindering any advancement.

Crush's Coaster is a spinning wild mouse coaster...

Well, Crush's is basically a spinning Wild Mouse, so there is an example of the sort of thing they can do. It would pretty much be an E or D. The problem with Whirl (and Mullholland Madness) is that they are outdoors which limits what you can do with it. I've always been a fan of the concept of enclosing MM and adding lighting and sound effects. That would raise the quality of the ride by at least 30%.

Lasseter doesn't know how to run a business? Excuse me? Did he not create the currently most profitable animation studio in the world? I think he did. He has come into imagineering with the same mindset that Walt once had. Don't skimp just to save money. Build it right the first time. As long as he doesn't insist on turning everything into a Pixar thing I'll be ok. (example, turning Mama Rosas into the restaurant from Ratatouillie). However, Lasseter is, for example, supposedly now heading the new imagination redo. As long as he keeps it true to form and doesn't try to force pixar characters into this, I can't see that as being anything but wonderful.

Corrus hates Lasseter. So what. Corrus loved Eisner and most of us have our feelings about that. Some of you worship Corrus, to me he's proven to be wrong more than right lately. I respect the fact that he apparently once was an imagineer at Disney, but I disagree with most of his opinions as of late.

I completely agree with enclosing attractions like this. What would raise the quality of Mullholland Madness by at least 30% for me would be to give the guests a little darn room in their seat :lol:. And I thought I had minimal leg room on Space Mountain

I completly agree with you on that...I am not sure about the whole pixar vs disney management issues. But Disney's brand name IMO was going down. These classic movies were being made into horrible sequels with crappy afternoon cartoon style animation. There were exceptions here and there. But for the most part...:hurl: .

And I am not speaking from a fan, purist, or etc...point of view. I am speaking from and artistic prospective I've been drawing since I could pick up a pencil. And was very disappointed with the animation of the last couple of 2D films disney has made (not including Atlantis, Treasure Planet or Piglet's Big movie). But even Stitch's trilogy artwork is blah...

So the good news I guess is that funds and ideas are being appropiated to MGM or DPS, it's really up to people like Lee, Corrus, and other members of the Disney coporate structure to give us something good. If not attendence drops...and people stop going.

^^a full land, I agree with. But, a mini-land based on one franchise works. I could EASILY imagine a Toy Story mini-land, for example. Of course, that is a trilogy. Cars 2 is apparently in the works, though.

I haven't been to MGM in a while, but do they still have that Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground? They should really turn that into a Toy Story playground.

It had like a bug's life type overlay, they used to have flick outside of the exit don't know if he's still there? Or if the overlay ever became official.
