Ok, one complaint: Disney please add Nintendo Switch compatibility ASAP.

It's just a matter of time. Disney allowed Amazon hardware to support them in this past week and have gone on record saying they don't want to block any platform from supporting them, so at some point we'll get it on Switch and hopefully sometime soon, Xfinity.

Also, I love the disclaimers that come with some of the classic content: May contain outdated cultural depictions. Because there are so many of those in Steamboat Willie. lol.

Yet despite the disclaimers, we still won't get Song of the South.

I don't think we ever will. Splash Mtn is as good as we get.

Despite great animated sequences, Song of the South is a weak, slow, boring movie. It is not worth the negative publicity of making it available at this time. I don’t agree with a lot of Iger’s decisions, but I don’t blame him for not wanting to touch SotS with a 10 foot pole.

Unwatchable.

Star Wars miniland is going away in January at Legoland California. Does this have something to do with Disney?

Park manager Peter Ronchetti urges fans to come down before it's too late.

"Since opening in 2011 with additions made year after year, the Lego Star Wars Miniland model display has been popular for children and their parents. We are thrilled we were able to bring this generational experience to our guests and hope those who have yet to see it, or want to revisit with their friends, will come experience Lego Star Wars Miniland before it leaves us in January and before we prepare to build new memorable experiences for guests."

Last day for Star Wars miniland is January 6th.

Star Wars Miniland is more fun than Galaxy’s Edge.

Hey, Spin and Marty is on Disney+!
Fun Fact: Marty’s Butler is played by J. Pat O’Malley, voice of Col. Hathi, The Walrus and the Carpenter, Tweedle Dee and Dum, Jasper, Cyril Proudbottom and many characters in Mary Poppins and Pirates of the Caribbean (the ride).

I'd be an advocate for a new 2d animated series with Brer Fox, bear, and rabbit. Retell the stories in a way that's appropriate for modern audiences, and reinvigorate children's interest in those characters.

Are you channeling @TROR?
Miniland was pretty darn cool to walk through. Not sure what kind of ride could go there since it was on a hillside. Hopefully they keep the lego factory tour.

I shudder at the thought of what their voices would sound like.

They will sound like they are from the south side of Chicago. Disney won't go any more south than that.

At this point, Tommorowland has plenty of space... EMPTY space, that it. In fact, it’s the most realistic kind of space you can find on earth; very empty.

Boring? You do know it won academy awards right?

For Best Song and a special honorary award for acting, not for its story.

Agreed, it’s one of the most boring Disney movies I’ve seen, racism aside.
