The Muppets Present… Great Moments in American History'

[Matt_Black]

Gotta lump all your enemies in the same group huh? The wicked Muppet fans surely must also be in unanimous support of the actual cancer that is Disney's parks usage of Marvel because they're all part of the eeeevil syndicate of acquired properties ruining Disney.

Well, you know, Marvel DID publish the official Muppet Babies comic book adaptation....

I think the Muppets fit the theme of the MK and Liberty Square just fine. This is no different than

Which is different than

I'd kill for any of these in Liberty Square!

The Muppets, nah. I'd rather they stayed out. I can't even pinpoint exactly why. Something to do with tone and character of LS.

This feels like the Tiki Room Under New Management all over again. Classic Disney that is mistakenly believed to be outdated and in need of outside help to make it fun and more accessible.

I love it! Now can we update MuppetVision too?

Some pre-show updates to Muppets with a monitor in the queue that shows more film parodies.

They're clearly trying this out as a perm replacement of hall of presidents.
Politics have become so divisive and respect of office regardless of who is in office has become so diminished they are going to replace it with something far more palatable like the muppets. Disney is out of the business of trying to inspire awe about anything besides Disney properties.

Yeah... I don't see Hall of Presidents going away anytime soon, even though in about 10 months time (my guess as to when the new AA will be installed), we'll be hearing nothing but "I'm boycotting the HoP because _____ was elected".

Stupid on them then

Oh I definitely plan on going on my next trip, regardless of who it is. They're only around for 4 to 8 years, making it one of the few attractions that Disney updates.
I also plan on checking out the Muppets if they're still around this time next year.

That got a lot of backlash from the Muppet fandom so they stopped doing stuff like that.

So does that mean you expect the audio for this show to be pre-recorded?

I have two clients who were hired by Disney to write a song for this new show and it is pretty wonderful.

 

[Turtle]

So will this show use live puppet performers or animatronics or those really creepy anthropomorphic M&G suits? What's the deal? A bit confused on the show.

Excited for more Muppets in the parks, although I'd prefer it to be in DHS.

Good to know they're abiding by their NDA.

They are. What is your point?

 

[halltd]

They are. What is your point?

If they told you about the song and what it's for or let you listen to it, they're not abiding by it.

The whole news and rumors forum is due to people not abiding by their NDAs

How would I not know about it? I'm their agent and I negotiated the contract. Sheesh.

 

[Princess Leia]

Just happened to think of this- is there seating in this area, or will it be standing room only? I'm guessing it will be the latter, since the shows are so short.

Yeah that's pretty much the tune every time we get a new POTUS.

If Donald Trump gets elected, I hope Disney takes this Muppet thing further and put Statler and Waldorf inside so that they can all heckle with each other.

If Donald Trump gets elected, the Imagineers have my sympathy. How in the heck do you make that hair and skin tone appear natural?!

Thanks to the magic of TV makeup, the debate people managed to do it last night. He actually had a natural skin color. The hair, however, continues to be a lost cause.

Maybe he can borrow Sammy from Henry.
