Where/ when will the Incredibles come into play?

[Stitch69]

I loved the movie too. I hope they do something with them!!! Is Pixar doing a part 2? I had not heard of that?

I love The Incredibles. It is one of my favorite Pixar and Disney animated films. I love the characters and the island scenery/animation is fantastic.

For me it is part comic book, part James Bond. The comic book stuff is self explanatory. The James Bond part is due to the fact that you have a single bad guy looking to rule the world and having a secret lair on an island. With Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible leading the secret life from his wife and going about things on his own, it's kind of like rogue agent Bond at times. Plus you have Edna, who is the version of 'Q' with all the gadgets. Finally, the musical score is very similar to a John Barry score for the early Bond films.

But, I agree that CoP should be left alone. Although, an Incredibles attaction would be nice in MGM.

I'd like to see the Incredibles in the park, just not at CoP. There's a nice little space in Tommorowland called the Skyway station people, you don't have to take down the Carousel Theater. The land is big enough for the two families.
If not in Magic Kingdom, put it in MGM or something. A Spiderman technology ride themed to the Incredibles would be awesome.

The Incredibles concept I was told of did not impact the CoP. It used the Skyway building spot and the free land behind there.

As for the fate of CoP...eh...I really don't care. I think it either needs a total refurbishment of all scenes or else just be scrapped. It's way too outdated at this point...it's a relic that needs help.

 

[dopey]

Wow....They still beat the pants off anything Disney Animation has cranked out lately.....Home on the Range? That Chicken Little nonsense?
Compared to the drivel coming out of Sony and SKG Pixar is miles above the rest right now.....

If anything, I was comparing The Incredibles to past Pixar films. A discussion on the shortcomings of Disney Animation is a whole other topic. Still, you don't hear any rumors about Disney replacing the horses on Cinderella's Golden Carrousel with cows, now do you?

 

[hammysammy59]

An Incredibles attraction would be fun, but I can't imagine where it'd go that would make sense. It's easily Pixar's best movie, so representation somewhere in the parks would be sweet.

I've always wondered why the rumor about an Incredibles attraction replacing CoP took off. A slowly rotating theatre isn't exactly the action packed environment I'd expect a superhero family to set up shop. Unless the rumor implies that CoP would be demolished entirely... I'm against the whole CoP thing either way though, personally.

If the Incredibles HAD to go in Tomorrowland though, I'd much rather they take out Stitch and/or the Speedway and stick it there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that took exception with him.

You take exception with me because I express a contraray view point on a second rate film??? Oh dear.

Perhaps the "humour" is too American for me, as someone said it seems to be about hang ups, a bit Wody Allen ish, and I cant stand him either.

Howerver If thats all youve got to get wound up you should be congratulated on your Zen like state.

Just to clear things up. You expressed a contrary view on a critical and box-office success that won an academy award, not a second rate film. It's fine that you don't like it, but in the larger sense of whether it should get an attraction at any of the parks, it really has the same or greater credentials than alot of movies/characters that do have attractions. Lilo & Stitch anyone?

By any measure - other than your personal opinion, the movie was not "second rate." It was a success.

Perhaps we just don't get your "humour"... comparing people that liked the movie to the supporters of dictators...

Can we please bear in mind that "The Incredibles" was up against "Shark Tale" and "Shrek 2" for an Oscar that year? "Snow White" it is not. And, according to boxofficemojo.com, it should be noted that "Shrek 2" outgrossed "The Incredibles" by nearly $180 million! Too bad Shrek isn't a Disney character. We could replace Dumbo with flying ogres. After all, Shrek is an award-winning film that did well at the box office, too. Not everything that glitters is gold, boys and girls.

Once again, we have this issue where people think their personal opinions trump the majority.

It's really OK that you didn't like the movie... nobody cares. However, it's easy to see that many others liked the it. Simply put, the movie was well received and was a success. Period. End of Story.

It's funny we have this issue where people think they can end a discussion because they have a different point of view. How sad you couldn't understand that I was trying to provide some perspective. Instead you resorted to the printed equivalent of holding your breath and stomping your feet because somebody had the gall to disagree with you on a children's movie.

Whether one liked the movie or not does not invalidate their opinion. Nor is an individual's opinion invalidated because it's different from the majority opinion. Don't know how things run in your neck of the woods, but here in America we are allowed -- even encouraged -- to think for ourselves. Perhaps you have never known such freedom and can, therefore, not understand this concept of a free exchange of ideas. If that's the case, you have bigger problems than those routinely addressed in this forum. Good luck.

No, you seem to have this issue where you think your opinion should trump the reality of the facts. As I said in my previous post, it's FINE for you to dislike the movie and hold the opinion that it wasn't very good. However, the fact remains... the movie was a success.

By the way... a little geography lesson. Tennessee is in America -- see the little location on this post? Maybe you should revisit some elementary school books... or maybe you have the bigger problems.

edit... you're not worth it.

No, no, no. This post got nasty when it was the opinions of those that LIKED The Incredibles that was discredited. "Yeah critics, audiences, and Oscar voters loved it, but millions also loved Hitler so what does that prove?" Plus why is it always this simple argument of, Shrek made $400 million (or whatever) while Incredibles made $250 million (or whatever), so therefore Incredibles was a bad movie because obviously there's only one movie that can be considered "good," and anything below that is "bad." That's ridiculous.

And if the discussion is about whether an attraction should be made out of The Incredibles, I really don't see how anyone, whether they personally liked the film or not, could argue that the film doesn't have very high credentials. I didn't like Lilo & Stitch, but it seemed like alot of people did, so I'm not going to argue about it having a ride, I just don't go on it. If they made a ride out of Home on the Range, I would argue because it would obviously be an attempt to force-feed us something not well liked.

And hey, look at that, Shrek DOES have an attraction at Universal. Funny how that works, huh?

 

[Punkss]

Once again this one of many threads which ends up in a slanging match and a tit for tat argument.

I have visited this forum less and less over the last few months due to mine others' opinions being frequently trashed. Everything from wishing a new ride into existence, liking 'unpopular' attraction and having the benefit of the doubt on upcoming attractions and events.

I know I will not be missed as I am a low contributer but I just felt it should be said that this community is becoming unwelcoming, militant in its views about the park and no longer a place for discussion.

Pumbas Nakasak, based on the twelfth comment (12!!! first page???), I hereby envoke Godwin's Law and declare this thread "stupid beyond all belief".

 

[metscool]

They are going to change the name there from Tomorrowland to Pixarland. Look they have Buzz, then there is this rumor and there is a rumor saying that they are going to change the Tomorrrowland Speedway to the theme of Cars. See what this world is coming to.

Would you have preferred the comparison using flies and how popular dinning on cowpats are?

Again, for those with skin thickness inversely proportional to brain processing power. There was no direct comparison to Nazis made; besides wasn’t Milosevic a communist as was Stalin?

Merely that at a certain point in time they were popular with some folks. Just as a certain film is popular with some folks and not everyone agrees with either.

As for stupidity, Ill bow to those with expert knowledge.

Which reminds me, Lilo and Stitch great film, shame the attraction is so crap.

I liked the point you were making (and the fact that you mentioned Michael Jackson as well as Hitler made it clear, to me anyway, that you weren't making a serious parallel with Nazism). :lol:

Plenty of Academy Award winners/box office hits have been long forgotten and there are plenty of beloved films that were snubbed by critics and audiences at their release. I've never seen The Incredibles, so I can't add to this particular topic, but your bigger point that popularity doesn't equal quality is right on. :wave:

honestly, i think that would have been ok
/checks the rule book
yeah, that woulda been cool

hmmm, i'm going to have to reject this one on the grounds that you lead the argument off with Hitler, maybe if he was 2nd or 3rd in the list we could allow it. Penalty to Pumbas Nakasak, 5 yards.

You came to the right guy then... heeeey... waitaminute!

Which reminds me, Lilo and Stitch great film, shame the attraction is so crap.

Indeed! BUT! I think that the WDWMagic forums have their own version of Godwin's Law, only with Stitch's Great Escape as a substitute for Hitler/Naziism. That's another penalty m'fraid.

I'm getting a decision back from the judges.... yes, it looks like... their ruling stands, "Incredibly stupid thread". No pun intended.
