The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

Surprised so many seem to dislike the look of the statues. I think they look infinitely better than the chromed out junk shown in the promos.

Now the character choices... that's another story.

Are you though, really?

This is cute. It will be fun to find these around the parks.

Sure, they could have done a lot more for the 50th, but they didn't.

Doesn't make this any less enjoyable.

I think the way they’ve hidden these in plain sight is really fun.

They're *too* precise. Note the comment I made above about the Partners statue and how it has tool marks that make it evident that it was hand sculpted...these look like they could have been spit out by a 3D printer. They're cute and all, but don't have the charm and artistic character a hand-sculpt should have. (And believe me...I get that they're different styles and that in some styles precision is the focus - I tend to be a realist with my art - but for sculptures in a theme park made famous by art, locations, and animations that were primarily made or built by hand, they just don't seem to fit as well as they could.)

Agree, definitively 3d printed to make the molds.
The details on the Rocket+groot shows exactly how they were translated from a 3d model.

One user who used to post long-winded, spirited diatribes comes to mind.

There are no cheesesteaks sammiches involved.. yet
So we're safe.. for now.

Oh wow, so some of them have been added to random iconic locations and not explicitly to planters?

Maybe that explains some of the stunningly bizarre character choices.

Perhaps the character from Soul playing the piano is going to be put where the old Grand Floridian band used to be?

Again, Chapek with a brilliant money saving move.

So instagrammable!!

I was about to put that video. Yeah.. they look much better in life next to a person.

Heres another famous youtuber (I think he was also a cast member)

 

[Dear Prudence]

WOW that Goofy one is gaudy

I agree. I much prefer these to the statues in front of the castle. The pedestals look awful and cheap. I like the statues themselves, though.

I hold out hope that they have nice nighttime lighting.

Twenty days to go.....and i will be there in the Park on October 1st.

Why am i not overly excited about the 50th at this point...??
Disney marketing should have me whipped up into a slathering frenzy by now.

Something is missing.....

I want trams to return. That would help. I haven’t been to the TTC parking lot for a few years and having to walk alone through all of that on what will most likely be a crazy day sounds scary.

Are they going to change the banner to say Worlds Most Magical Celebration?
