First, I don't look like Leo.

Second, I think Leo's acting abilities peaked on Growing Pains.

Third, on more serious matters, the info out here by @pheneix is quite true. But DLP isn't closing and it isn't going seasonal either. This is all about manipulating the situation to FINALLY rid Disney of the albatross of debt that Euro Disney SCA has wracked up. Disney wants control of the resort completely and sans the current debt. All they are doing is posturing to remind the folks over there how important they are.

Did I tell you my Al Sharpton/Leo DiCaprio story?

Is that Spirit in that video?

No..... not quite. Similar courtly speech but lacking a certain etherial je ne ce quois....

I think you're asking the wrong question. But think about it, there is so much talent at Ghibli so why shouldn't they be able to work with WDI/OLC team to build ORIGINAL attractions in addition to their current IP. I want to see Hayao Miyazaki and Co.'s Pirates, Haunted Mansion, etc.

Studio Ghibli IP that could work well in a theme park setting:
Totoro
Porco Rosso
Spirited Away
Kiki's Delivery Service
Nausicaa
The Borrower Arrietty

They also own the Japanese rights to Wallace and Gromit

Ponyo would fit in nicely too. I'm surpised the Asia parks do not already have a land like this seeing how popular those studios movies are over there!

I want a Totoro meet n greet and a Ponyo dark ride...

That just CAN'T be good

 

[SirLink]

Toei? How about Studio Ghibli?

I want my One Piece flume ride though and my Thousand Sunny walk-through.

Wow...I got lost in that series. Thanks for sharing that.

all this talk about true anime in the parks is the ultimate form of pipe dreams. Let it go.. just because Disney signed on as a distributor, that doesn't make them enamored with the product. It means they saw dollar signs.

So OLC isn't thinking about building a 3rd gate in Tokyo with domestic properties anymore?

Who says we want it in Disney owned parks. I don't, I want a Toei Animation park ran and paid for by OLC - designed by ex-WDI guys.

I cannot wait for "The Wolf of Wall Street", easily the film that I'm most looking forward to this fall. Matthew McConaughey has also been on a roll with Bernie, Killer Joe (Which I haven't seen but heard good things) and Mud.
Maybe DiCaprio wins the Oscar this year.

Leo is so overdue for an Oscar win. He should have been nominated for the departed and not blood diamond in 06. Brilliant performance in the departed.

signing on as their distributor isn't even in the same league as the IP aquistions (pixar, marvel, etc).. but it keeps getting brought up as if it were a disney property.

Honestly, I think he's a pretty talented actor but there's not a single role he's been in that I see as even deserving of nomination relative to that year's competition. Wolf of Wall Street has a lot of potential, and I'm hearing positive buzz about his performance in it so there's a real shot that it will make folks forget about that ghastly Gatsby movie.

If Disney wants to buy EuroDisney SCA then who knows what else they want to buy....
