MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[MisterPenguin]

unless you expect them to threaten to pull the contract if the OLC doesn't change it as well or something

The contract probably has a clause that doesn't allow Disney to unilaterally cancel the contract. If OLC signed a contract that allowed that, well, that would be egregiously stupid on their part.

Objective #1 was flawed and could have easily been cancelled and had little to no backlash in doing so especially w the PR spins Disney loves to put on things....

last i checked Disney did not eliminate Splash overseas so in theory the company is still tied to the IP.... people just choose to ignore that fact along with other convenient facts the company and who they are in bed with.....

Yeah this is not the thread for any of that.

Thats fair…

oh, I am sure - just trying to think of something Disney could do to put pressure on the OLC to get them to change Splash. Only thing I could think of is put that over them as a potential threat, but rather far fetched so likely nothing realistic they could do

Disney tried to make Tokyo retheme but Tokyo told them to "Go pound sand"

Disney tried to make Tokyo retheme and pay for the stateside rethemes…. Well (R&D) I assume, it’s been a few years since that was swirling around on here

 

[Disstevefan1]

I think Toyko will hold out and make TWDC pay them some dollar amount to retheme and also make TWDC pay for the retheme itself.

 

[SamusAranX]

It's back actually, along with Beauty and the Beast. They got the album rights back.

At TDL or at WDW?

At TDL or at WDW?

TDL

WDW still plays Laughing Place.

Shhhhh, don't tell them, they'll take it away!

 

[FettFan]

Joy is doing a better job emphasizing the "fun" of New Orleans than the Imagineers were in the previous video. I think the video is solid PR for the ride.

Joy obviously hadn’t been to the French Market Cafe.

Fiancée and I went there on Monday for lunch, then discovered just yesterday that our waitress decided to help herself to a $60 tip on a $55 order.

We also heard “How do you do” on the ferry back in February.

Tokyo may be open to a retheme... but not with PatF.

Tokyo very much has wanted lots of Disney IP historically. But they may be picky which IP they get.

If TBA is done very well and becomes successful, Tokyo may change their mind. I don't know how attached they may be to Southern critters as an IP.

Anyhoo, if there is leverage Disney may have with OLC, it's if they create an attraction in the domestic parks that OLC wants very much. And they can have it... for a price.

Do you think Tokyo would want Runaway Railway?

 

[JoeCamel]

Do you think Tokyo would want Runaway Railway?

Shipping included or no?

 

[yensidtlaw1969]

Exactly. As i wish Disney would have done to all the “outrage”

Sorry, I thought we both agreed this was not the thread for this.

 

[EagleScout610]

Damn, I messed up. We gotta go bald

 

[BrerFoxesBayouAdventure]

From what I understand, the Brer characters are very popular at TDL and are big merch pushers (there's also a popular restaurant connected to the ride too). I don't think Princess and the Frog is all that popular there by comparison.

This being the sole PatF-related thing in TDL in the 13 years since the film came out says a lot.

Song of the South itself is also widely available on home video in Japan due to a 2006 court ruling declaring all movies made prior to 1953 being public domain. So there were ample unofficial DVD's and even blu-rays available to the public. Albeit not endorsed and released by Disney itself.

This interests me a lot, would Japan legally be able to make counterfeit projects featuring the Br'ers and other characters from before that magic number?
