What’s funny… I had heard about a KH project in development back in 2019 for Tokyo. No other details were told beyond that. I don’t really chat with that source anymore, and I’m sure it’s had many different lives at this point so it wouldn’t surprise me if this plan surfaced in some capacity..
I think I’ve also heard something similar. Would have been something to do with their Star Tours (considering it’s unpopularity and Star Wars in general over at TDR)
Apparently Disney doesn't agree with you. Just ask EPCOT.
MK has had a PIXAR presence my whole life with Buzz Lightyear & eventually Monsters Inc. To people my age, those movies are Disney classics.
It's not like Disney ever NOT owned those characters either. They're Disney characters that were animated by another studio, like Hamster Wheel from Stitch.
Or Powerline…
You’re getting hidden keyblades and you are gonna like it
It's Hamsterveil, actually. But he's a lame character anyway.
Never mind before the Toy Story abomination was built Pixar was beginning to have it's own dedicated land at DHS.
Exactly... I was excited about that whole idea of a Pixar Land... Sad when it was just another re-tread of Toy Story Land based on Andy's back yard.... I would have been fine with them just having a coaster and then other rides based on other Pixar properties... And seriously the Alien Swirling Saucers should have been in indoor ride in outer space with special effects and a full complete Pizza Planet restaurant and dining room overlooking the ride and it's space-scape. It would have provided a new restaurant and a break from the heat...and for absolute sure, would have been a huge hit.
I loved the Simpson's when they first came out ~ when I was in 8th grade in 1989. I turn 51 in about six weeks. They are way past their prime.
I think the question that companies are going to have to ask themselves is “which IPs actually can be relevant when the original creatives are no longer involved?”
Agreed and good points.
The TSMM and Soarin' extra capacity were welcome additions, but they're less necessary today.
I know you're making a joke at the end here, but I would think a Blue Sky Cellar concept could work if they're going to be keeping the building for the short term.
When spitballing ideas for a 5th gate, the idea I kept coming back to was the general concept of family, however anyone wants to define that. I saw it as a broad enough concept to include IPs that might be a poor fit elsewhere in WDW.
@lentesta has indicated that a project has already been approved. With that in mind, part of me is hoping that the choice has already been made for Zootopia. If the choice isn't Zootopia, then it means if Zootopia 2 is as popular as the first movie, it's most assuredly coming to WDW and somewhere other than DHS.
Now if you could just say the same about Simpsons.... Please!
