With Joe Gardner being one of the 50 statues being added to Disney World, could we see more characters from Soul be added to the parks? Personally I think Soul would make for a great fit at Hollywood Studios as a musical based show.

Will we see more of Soul in the Disney parks moving forward?

It got a lot of nominations and won many awards and was viewed positively by many who count in the film industry. At this point anything Disney could do to bring in more entertainment, especially with the growing popularity of jazz music would be welcome. I think guests would appreciate it. The question is... would Disney see the value in bringing this in? So far they dont see the same value we guests see in things.

I think Joe's inclusion is rather a sad reminder of how few Black characters are in Disney's portfolio.
Beautiful film with wonderful music, though

No, I think that's all we are going to see.
That would really suck tbh. Soul was fantastic. I'd love to have a Jazz show at Hollywood Studios.

A restaurant themed to the club where he plays could be neat with live musicians.
Rollercoaster called Soul Train? I kid.

Easy enough to change Scat Cat's or Jelly Rolls with some story about Joe moving and opening his own club. That said, I don't see either happening because I don't think enough people would care to go to something just because it'd have his name and loose ties to Soul.

The vast majority of Disney's movies and TV shows do not have much representation in the parks.
There shouldn't be an expectation that there will be every time a new one comes out, even for ones as popular as, say, The Mandalorian.

We always went to Scat Cat's on the nights the entertainment was playing at POFQ. There was always a great gathering of guests on those evenings... ( not as well as attended as PORS Yee Haa Bob) But I'm sure a Jazz ensemble would bring in more listeners and fit the theming well. I dont think the most recent performers appearing there were as well received as Dyson was.
