News Tomorrowland love

[Jon81uk]

Not to mention WALL-E

Amazing movie, commercial success, characters beloved by nearly the whole world, actually set in the future.

Disney:

Wall-E was about a future where we have destroyed the planet and now live on an intergalactic cruise liner getting fat. I'm not sure that is the sort of optimistic future that Tommorrowland should have as a vision!

yeah I’m hoping things simplify not complicate it further

Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like they have been trying to find the right IP. It feels like they have made several movies that would fit well in this area.
Meet the Robinsons had an absolute Tomorrowland/futuristic look that could have slid in there. (My family loves this movie, but I know it wasn't a huge success).
Tomorrowland movie also looked like a mockup for Tomorrowland in the park. I mean, there were moments in the movie I said "that is absolutely made to go where blank is in the park". (again, my family adored this movie, but it wasn't a huge hit).
Were either of these ever seriously considered to be IP for that area, or am I just seeing things?

Disney:

I complete agree! I feel like those are too obvious for Disney to use in the land. They rather shoehorn an IP that loosely fits into Tomorrowland.

Maybe you didn’t watch until the end?

Wall-e is about learning to take care of the planet so humanity and the planet can survive and thrive together.

Pretty easy to adapt that into a ride that takes place after the movie and focuses on a green future that uses all kinds of different eco-friendly technologies.

Could even use that as the new thesis of the land

As a "lets take better care of the planet" thing for Epcot it would be a great fit (Wall-E teaches recycling!). But for Tomorrowland, it doesn't fit with the optimistic future of Tomorrowland really. But then neither does Monsters Inc.

If they did I’d say remove the outer ring with the planets and the additional rings on the central spire, repaint and perhaps modify the spire and rockets a bit.

I say they should just put the... wait for it... retro rocket back on the spire.

One more bump. I found the white legs that @MadTeacup mentioned. This doesn't work guys:

@wdwmagic, in case you want to do a TL update.


And crediting the person that mentioned it of course:

Maybe it's just primer...

As opposed to the movie's vision where a megalomaniac decides to let the Earth destroy itself because he has a love-hate relationship with a robot dressed up like a 13-year-old girl...

 

[Bocabear]

but honestly, the the outer ring and twirling planets are a great visual and in epic scale....It is the central axis of the land and looks great. I would hate to see them go back to the 70s Starjets look when the 94' version is so much more. Paint the rings white, alter the central spire, but leave the outer ring and twirling planets... They are placemaking.

What movie? Wall-E?

"Tomorrowland". But it's not Frank that is the megalomaniac, it's David.

aha, I know I have watched Tomorrowland but I have absolutely zero memory of the plot or anything about the movie.

You're in luck! It's coming to Disney+ in September... 2021.

I know many people didn't care for it, but I really like it.

It had great set up and a fun 2nd act but the 3rd act was certainly the weakest once they actually reached Tomorrowland. It just felt like it didn't have enough at the end after the fun adventure of getting to the city.

Over here in the UK it is still available on another streaming service (Now TV that shows Sky Movies) until August 2020, so maybe I will give it another go!
On a more off-topic note I will find it very interesting what happens to all the Disney content on Sky once Disney+ launches here next month... I know Sky have done a big deal with Warner Bros (so currently are promoting the Harry Potter movies) and with HBO. I'm currently working my way through 30 Rock.

You should rewatch with an emphasis on Frank's self-imposed exile, all the innovation he hid out of spite... I think you'll come to agree that he was just as bad as David.

Almost as bad, no doubt. At least he redeemed himself.

Could have been a dark ride in Energy lol

My favorite part was the secret entrance inside of the N.Y. World's Fair. They even showed that 'Small World' was sponsored by Pepsi !

I love the Tomorrowland movie....yes it does kinda lose its focus by the third act, but the rest of it is very well done and inspiring....very Disney
