I guess I just don't understand the point of a 'live-action' remake when it's just CGI? It's basically the exact same story with better animation.

Now -- taking something like Beauty and the Beast, and having actual actors...okay I can see that. But the Jungle Book and now Lion King I just don't understand. CGI is nothing new.

Some bonus thoughts while we wait for the additional reviews

Team Brava
- Yes, it's personal but I just love the touch of completing the map (even including the restroom logo) but no AEDs so I hope nobody has a heart attack on Fire Mountaino_O
- I don't think I mentioned the Concept Art - fabulous job!
- I also love the transition of Mexico to Frontierland that for some reason I just realized.
- On the site, having the numbers correlate with the attractions in each mini-land helps organize things. It's why I've grown to not like google docs in these comps anymore. Just post it on the forum if there's no site or slides or other presentation format...I get it's an organizing tool, but I actually think it does a disservice to the presentation...it makes it drag on longer. Trying to read the site vs trying to read the google doc...it's much more fluid on the site, despite being the same content (and I think I mentioned that in the review)

Team Castle
- Looking at the RCT3 a second time...and reading the brainstorming I really enjoy the layout...but for someone who does not have access to the brainstorming, I still stand by the claim that it makes no sense. It's just an aerial photo with no context. An amazing job with RCT3 though...but nonetheless, should have been labeled.
- The more I read Desert Island, the more I like its contents. Just a very well done subland.
- Jungle Cruise on second pass I actually think I like more as well. I haven't seen anyone refute my claim that you can't actually see the sub-lands from the water level, which ...I don't know whether that's an 'oops' reaction meaning I'm right or nobody read it lol But I do think the Skippers add something that a regular long boat ride would not like the one that used to be in DAK.
- I'm still upset about the Dole Whip
- Enchanted Tiki Journey is my favorite part of the project.

The End. :p

I don't think you wanna know how much time I spent hunting that image..

Also Voxel has been working for 5 hours and 20 mins. Time for a break. Maybe he will do more work tonight.

Wait no not the end - I didn't mention the Project Managers!

Team Brava - @Disney Dad 3000 I think you did a great job organizing the project - starting up the separate content PM early on and transitioning well from @DisneyFan18 last round keeping a list of everything in the project and color coding what is finished/not finished/etc. While it's not a novel concept - for both of you it's Disney Dad's 2nd team comp (?) and DisneyFan's first - so the fact you picked up that tactic so quicky is commended

Team Castle - @RMichael21 while people were questioning my decision last round to move two players off, they didn't know not only how much confidence I had in everyone on Castle, but that I had an ace in the hole primed to lead it with an SA veteran;) RM knows the balance between letting people speak and honing in when its go time. Regardless of the outcome, I was a bit disappointed not in the Project Manager, but some of the people on the team being given an opportunity to shine with nobody overshadowing the workload, and not being able to come together. That being said, the majority on the team pulled together at zero hour (to be honest I just wish it wasn't at zero hour and there was more time for the team)

In sum - both did excellent.

Thanks for the kind words space, it means a lot. I definitely tried my best this project, but we’ll see how the cards fall. :)

Well I just found out I am in charge of hosting a family get together in an hour and a half lol what.

Remind me to never have review day on a Saturday again. I like Sunday nights or Mondays personally (which will be the due date for Stanza V so woo!)

Good thing the challenge is written up but I was really hoping to be online to see everyone's reaction to it. :p I don't think anyone is expecting it.

I'll have to post it quickly and then get back to the dinner.
