Prior to Frozen being greenlit, there were non-IP renovation concepts that at least kept more of the Norwegian legends foundation intact. It was to be more upbeat than the original, with some of the trolls being friendly from what it appears and the story taking on a musical tone. Though it still appeared to keep a few of the moodier elements intact.

Some of these scenes have a more Marc Davis like approach with their gags and character designs. The replacement for the oil rig looked pretty cool. I think I may have seen more art for this concept than this, but I can't find them at the moment.

Omg for the longest time all I had was this that I believe was posted by @marni1971!

I assume he means the ANIMATED characters. I doubt anybody cares much about any of the live action ones.

Johnny and Ginny are icons of American cinema. Miss Sally is one of the greatest villains in film history. And the live-action bull....how could you forget the bull!!??

Can we get this chat back to Tiana construction…

Great images taken from the air above. How do people feel it looks?

I can't discern what they're talking about with an extension of the former birdhouse location for a new show scene. Could someone label it on the image?

I'm pretty sure this is the area they are talking about. It has a fresh concrete pour that seems to widen that lip a bit, and it still needs painting/theming.

Personally I'd love more atmosphere in that quiet little bend. All that was there previously was the random Elixir cart and the birdhouses, no? Happy to see them taking more advantage of this outdoor section of the ride.

Having seen this in person, the coloring and foliage is already an improvement. My concern is more for California's Splash which was artfully executed at the outset.

Not concerned one bit. With a dry Mediterranean climate naturally occurring there , everything is from another biome.

maybe they could add it to Laughing Place Ranch they are building at that Cotino, Storyliving by Disney

For what it's worth, the name has now been removed from the official art on the website and promotions (it's still on the Disney Parks Blog though).

 

[ddisneyd]

What do we think about opening times based on the aerial photos this week?

 

[Dear Prudence]

What a miserable timeline we are all living in, lmao

 

[Dear Prudence]

Photos from today - looks like the weathervane has been removed from the queue barn.

Call me a malcontent waxing about the halcyon days of Disney yore, but remember when they had enough class to hide construction projections from guests?

You mean like when the built it originally?

Don't you remember the 200-foot tall construction wall blocking Tower of Terror in 1994 that they then moved to DAK to block Everest in 2006?

ew.

I don't know why asking for just a little bit more discretion and class is funny and respecting guests a little more is funny, but go off, I suppose.

Generally at Disneyland, projects, even larger scale ones, are more hidden from guests, but this just aligns with WDW having trash littered all over its parks I guess!

 

[MisterPenguin]

I concur with the ones 'going off.'

There is a wall there. A tall one. To hide any more would require ridiculously high walls.

 

[Dear Prudence]

And maybe for the layout of WDW's Frontierland, blocking the construction off is too difficult, but Disneyland has done a consistently better job with isolating projects from guests.

 

[J4546]

i dont even get complaining about construction imo I like looking at it, its fascinating to me. I cant wait for SSE to gets its major refurb cause that is gonna look awesome when its all open and apart

 

[ToTBellHop]

So Disneyland has big walls? I had read about their walls of steel back when Walt was in charge, but not recently. WDW really needs to grow a pair of walls.
