EPCOT Spaceship Earth Refurb - 2 Year Closure

[larryz]

The narrator might be the least important part of a SSE refurbishment/revamp. Would be far more interested to know who is working on the script and what the overall vision moving forward is for any re-imagining

Well, if that's the case, then Microsoft Bob can just do the narration.

You could have the best voice in the world, but none of them can redeem a crappy script.

Mel Brooks could liven things up.

A you proposing that they use the “History of the World, Part I” as the IP? That would be different and fun

I’ve heard other people say this, but as a former biochemistry major well-versed in “nerd”, I just find this guy incredibly annoying and awkward — and not like the nerds I am fond of.

“Comically stereo typical” were the key words. As in heavily exaggerated.

 

[Texas84]

I like awkward FoP guy. Reminds me of someone who could be a side character in Big Bang Theory.

Yeah that’s what I’m getting at.

To the point of being really offputting to many, I think. They overshot.

 

[The Pho]

I don’t know, to me he seems to act just like any comically stereo typical bumbling science nerd that stays in a lab all day would act

That’s very likely what they were going for with his character.

That's not really how he comes across to me. Bumbling sure, but very much not science nerd. He doesn't exactly look like he knows what he's saying.

He acts like an intern who would lock his keys in his car.

Every. morning.

What i find humorous is how Disney fanatics on pretty much every other fan site can’t stand you know who on the site which shall not be named. I mentioned this on another Disney site (gasp) and I got slammed - or should I say he - got slammed as a click bait artist that posts anything he hears. It was actually funny. They started citing multiple examples of when he was wrong. People pay attention.

He's a little too serious about it. It's not life or death. LOL. And he has to stop throwing a fit on Twitter.

Anywho, back to SSE ...

I'd be down with Morgan Freeman.

Exactly!! Not sure why most don't get this. lol

he had the Barack Obama update for HoP. Not sure Disney reuses narrators. Maybe Zach Quinto would be another option.

Ah, forgot! I don't know how I did brain fart

Yeah, they likely wouldn't re-use him but who knows? There's honestly a lot of people I could see/would like to do it.

They reuse narrators occasionally. The person who narrates Living With The Land also narrates The People Mover.

They reuse narrators occasionally. The person Mike Brassell, who narrates Living With The Land also narrated narrates the old current version of The People Mover.

 

[HauntedPirate]

Funny. I like his LwtL narration, but I abhor the Peoplemover narration. Script is key, as is the director.

For me, the best SSE narration is a toss-up between Cronkite and Irons. Dench, as a voice, is fine, but the script is absolutely dreadful.

well, you know who to thank...

 

[Astro Blaster]

Wow I never made the connection that the LwtL narrator is the same as the TTA but I totally see (hear?) it now.

I also enjoy the LwtL narration but prefer the previous voice for the TTA. Much less goofy-sounding, if that can make sense for a ride that goes through a bunch of silly stuff.

 

[Demarke]

My vote for new narrator goes to Ron Howard

“On the next SE Development...”
