I love this format you guys have adopted. It's quite fitting, and makes your presentations easy to read. In fact, it makes me WANT to read it. It's a minor thing, but a great thing that you all have done with pretty much every presentation. It's predictable, but excellent.
Great way to open this. Whomever made that decision, made a good one.
Keep up the good writing. Succinct, carries the topic well...makes me want to keep reading. Once again, very well done.
Well written, lets see where we go with this...
Unification of font is a solid choice, however your logo is not. This is not EPCOT, and Disneyland Paris Resort offers nothing like it, and isn't poised to do so (and probably never will, what is the attraction to locals?).
Had this been a world showcase challenge, I would be literally floored by this. But, as it stands, I don't see how your logo adds anything to your campaign, much less make sense to any of your original concepts outside of the fact that you hung your hat on Tintin (and no, I'm not disputing the IP with this comment, even though I still think that commentary is sound).
However, it is a great logo, so good job on that! It just doesn't "fit" with Disneyland Paris.
Again, I think you confuse World Showcase with what is currently at DLRP, even with your Tintin ride added to Adventureland.
Remember, it wasn't just for us to focus on one challenge, but two. And, in my opinion (and I agree with your bias, because I LOVE Tintin) you all focused on merely challenge one, and largely ignored challenge two, as while your logo "fits" loosely with Tintin, it doesn't fit at all with your Challenge 2 submission.
What I mean by this, is...how can "a whole new world" be an "old world"?
It fits for Tintin, without a doubt, as his stories are all about discovery (not to quote my team) and intrigue. But...well, to do as you did, and quote who you already quoted...
"The Hollywood That Never Was and Always Will Be"
This is a land of the past, a glorified past, and you all did a fantastic job outlining that in your original post. But, how does that fit with a "Whole New World"? When really it's the "Dream Old World"?
That being said..."A Whole New World"...works quite well. And I did find it personally amusing we both chose to do "Glamour". I just didn't find it cohesive amongst your two battling concepts. It fits very well for Tintin, not so much for Challenge 2.
That's a tall statement. Lets see if it holds true.
Ok, so you took a stock photo from your queue, slapped a border and a logo on it, and some text.
Yep...when I think Tintin, I think waterfalls. (mind you, I'm probably one of the few here who own all the Tintin novelles...
Same as the last comment.
So...Jharana Mahal. Nice choice, but poorly represented. Had I not read your first post, I wouldn't know what I was looking at.
I have no idea what this is from. Or what ride it references. It wasn't used in your first post (and is therefore the exception to the rule?).
Nice song. I'm familiar with it.
Ok, so when I went to view your ENGLISH version, I saw "video removed by user"...and mind you, I'm an HOUR now after posting time.
That, is foul play, and really irritates me. (and please, save your "I don't know technology" crap for another conversation)...you don't get to edit after the final post without at least saying "hey guys, I'm gonna edit to clean up some typos") or something like that.
You sure a HECK don't get to remove the video.
(as a side note, if it's a DCMA takedown, post on liveleak...they don't have that crap, and you can still embed here).

So, I'm gonna have to judge your French I guess because I didn't get to it until 60 minutes after your first post?
Wonderful...
Ok, so.
That's a great video. It's not a commercial / presentation (yep
@Zweiland , I'm turning this around on you).
@Zweiland , you said we didn't stick to JDM's guidelines with one testimonial.
Well, you all made a 2 minute long tribute video with overlay text, and didn't stick to his requirement that it be a presentation of your concept, as well as a commercial. It's well done, the fades are nice, some of the edits are out of place, but it certainly looks like it took a lot of work. Kudos on it...
Aside from the fact that it's a tribute video, and NOT a commercial.
It's a great video (great job Sam), but it's severely lacking for this challenges requirements in that respect. I can quite the challenge as you did, but we've all read it enough to know I'm right.
I liked this added stuff quite a lot. You guys really went above and beyond here, and I applaud you for it!
Nice to see you went safe with someone who is always a positive person. (Yes, Zwei, I'm looking at you, she's my friend too, and we know her well...)
This part is nice, but really, not necessary.
Great job Team Land!
This is gonna be close!
Friends in high places.
