MK Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

How does it not fit? It is literally a film about the future I can’t think of a ip that fits Epcot or Tomorrowland more.

"The future" in a generic sci-fi sense was never meant to be the theme of Epcot. It was supposed to be about reality. Human possibility.

Think the ending scene of Carousel of Progress vs. a Star Trek episode. Very different things.

I don't expect anything that actually fits in Epcot to ever go in there again, though. All the parks have fully moved into the "well, TECHNICALLY it KINDA fits if you forget what we were originally going for..." stage.

You mean fit in Future World? It's gone, for weal or woe.

EPCOT is now just "World Fair Festivals."

As far as Tomorrowland goes, that was supposed to be Retro Futurism... the 60s ideal of the future. Star Trek fits in that.

What would be even better is if the next Incredibles movie was in space v. aliens... and that gets used.

RIP Body Wars (and David Hayter's first acting role -- he's the volunteer we go inside)

Space 220 doesn’t fit?

Ironically we're having this conversation as as I parked at EPCOT yesterday I realized they have a Wall-E parking lot

I think Wall-E shows how technology can co-exist with humanity, nature and be used to benefit everyone when used responsibility. The credits of it outright depict that and one of the main themes of Wall-E is that humanity must get themselves back on track without the unhealthy overreliance on technology.

"Now our Future World draws near ... and we face the challenge of tomorrow. We must return and take command of our Spaceship Earth ... to become captains of our own destiny ... to reach out and fulfill our dreams."

Wall-E fits in EPCOT, it's just hard to point to a pavilion for him to go to. If only there was a place in EPCOT that showcased technology where he'd be a great mascot for...

Wall-E fits better in EPCOT than Tomorrowland in my eyes. Tomorrowland is a future "that never was", WALL-E is both a cautionary tale and a story about co-existence with technology and how to do it healthily.


I find Wall-E and a plausible inclusion in EPCOT no different than Nemo being apart of The Seas, where it connects to one of the themes of the film and can be used to 'plus up' a space. Besides, we have Moana and Guardians of the Galaxy in EPCOT now, if anything, WALL-E would heal EPCOT more than damage. You really can't get worse than shoehorning a Moana attraction into EPCOT.

No offense but this kinda annoys me for some reason Are the credits part of the story? Yes? then they are important context you cannot ignore I would rather see wall-e go in Tomorrowland than Epcot but I had to call this out

I look at the “credits” really as an epilogue where you get to see the payoff for Wall-E’s heroism

Wall-E at the WoL could be match somehow.

I like that idea. I think changing the theme from health could be a play? What about... A robotics pavilion? Technology pavilion? Seems redundant but nobody really knows what Guardians is supposed to be in terms of pavilion.

Have a show with WALL-E, WALL-E meet and greet with that cute real one they made, and you're selling.
