'Strange World' Disney's 2022 Animated Film

[TP2000]

This would sting me to the core if for a second I thought you cared about any of those laid off.

These are not layoffs! They are only staffing reductions. And they aren't even happening.

Well, we'll see from social postings all these non-layoffs layoffs that people think are going to happen.

Just out of morbid curiosity, where do you think the Walt Disney Company has been headquartered since 1939?

You missed the point. Surprise.

I think to appease TP2000 and to prevent him from continuing to beat a dead horse, Splash Mountain should be rethemed to "TP2000's Burbank Adventure!"

The ride follows Bob Chapek on the run from a random animatronic Chihuahua who keeps popping out of nowhere to remind him of Disney's box office failures. His catchphrase — repeated 20 times in the ride — is "Burbank can't be happy about this!" As you go up the lift hill, Bob Chapek yells to angry shareholders "Please don't throw me out of the Walt Disney Company!" The drop symbolizes Chapek being thrown out of the company. The "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" segment at the end is replaced with shareholders celebrating Bob Iger's return and Avatar: The Way of Water's box office success. Despite the celebration, the random Chihuahua gets one final punchline, "but what about merchandise sales!?! I don't see any kids dressed as Na'vi for Halloween!"

After the ride, at the former Briar Patch shop, children can buy T-Shirts, plushies and mugs with the Chihuahua shaking a martini with the tagline "Burbank!"

Halle Berie’s recent quote about her playing Ariel in The Little Mermaid also applies in this thread:

“Halle, speaking about the significance of playing Ariel, said, “I know what it would've meant to me as a little girl to have been able to see a black Ariel when I was younger, she says. "If I would've seen that, it would have changed my whole outlook on life.”

Same applies to me and many others if we had seen anything like Strange World when we were kids.

It is a good thing she did not, she likely would not get to play her now.

Some of the posters in this thread have taken the position that race (unlike same-sex relationships) isn’t a blip on anyone’s radar and hasn’t been for 40 years. What prompted that quote by Halle, I wonder?

Agreed 100 percent…I have a nephew who recently came out but knew he was gay in high school… he has mentioned how tough it was to have a crush on a fellow student but not able to talk about it with anyone… the more exposure to different people the better
