Disney should partner with companies like Apple, and video game companies to allow them to actually show their latest products as well as those in production.

Apple is just about the most secretive and closed company out there. Unless Disney converted one of the pavilions to look exactly like an Apple store, they would never go for it. If they want to partner with a company that loves to show off new technologies that it's working on, the best one would be Google.

John Lasseter was responsible for Pixar Animation

A Disney sponsor is HP, NOT Apple.

I personally hate Apple with a passion.... it be a personal sad day for me if Apple ever became a official sponsor of Disney. My way of thinking Disney would be better to partner with Google.

I do not know how many Non-Disney Geeks remember Wall-E but it was very well received, reviewed and a very successful movie.

I agree with keeping the Disney/Pixar influence in EPCOT out. Figment is EPCOT, and he should not only stay, but be reborn to his former glory, but with updated tech.

Horizons was pure Disney magic. It's my most missed EPCOT attraction. If they could create a new attraction that pays tribute or updates it's theme, that would be the greatest thing ever.

Living Seas. I don't even know where to start...

In my opinion, wall e was a weak movie. I can't see an e ticket based off that movie. I do think torn would work. I also think that they need to bring so future back into future world. Incorporating google or apple would be tremendous.

Some nice ideas, a Wall-E themed ride sounds interesting. Does it have enough of a following to make it popular? (Sorry my kids are teenagers now so I'm not sure what the little ones enjoy.) In Future World, Disney continues to disappoint with the old Wonders of Life and half of the Innoventions area (a huge Disney store and a Disney Visa meet-and-greet, so sad). Such a waste of prime location. Can't Disney so something better with those spaces?

I'm not in favor of adding rides to the World Showcase although wish Disney would add some countries, update the movies or even replace them with shows. But really, does every area in the theme parks have to revolve around rides? Can't Disney be allowed to devote just half of one theme park to more mature forms of entertainment?

I know how people hate spelling but TT had me stumped.

Tower of Terror that be ToT and that is in Hollywood Studios.
So I had to picture a map first letter only and all of the sudden got Test Track.

My question is what is "his royal purpleness"?

TT= Test Track. His Royal purpleness is Figment for Journey Into Imagination.

Living seas was such a unique attraction, blending a massive aquarium with a theme park. Being educated without even realizing it (sort of EPCOT's original mission) was great. It created such a sense of wonder for me as a young boy, nothing else like it.

Now, it's a dumbed down version that attempts to just entertain. It seems that any educating that goes on is completely passive or incidental. I want the original vision back...

You obviously haven't seen Dragon Wars then. It was so bad that it was literally on the SciFi channel two months after hitting theaters.

True, he was, but Steve Jobs also had a major role to play. I think he may have helped develop and funded Pixar's computer software, but don't quote me on that. They dedicated Brave to him during the credits for a reason.

Out of curiosity what didn't you like about the movie? Why did you find it awful? Did you not like the plot (because it does have a plot unlike many a movie)? The lack of dialogue? Were you offended by the message the films sends?

Wall-E is actually my favorite Pixar film because it is so unique in that it lacks a lot of dialogue, but still manages to tell a solid story, at least from my perspective. I found the characters to be very cute and even though it's hard to relate to a robot, I still cared about the characters. And as I am working in the medical field and also very much enjoy nature, I enjoyed the messages the film seds and didn't find them to be coming across as heavy handed. And the animation was beautiful as it always is with Pixar. But I realize the film isn't for everybody.

But I gotta say, if Wall-E really is the most terrible movie you think you've ever seen, I've got a long list of movies you need to see with my #1 being, not kidding, about a killer pinata. That movie was truly epically bad. Dragon Wars is also quite the special film.
