Zootopia coming to DAK is far from guaranteed and it's not a fool's errand to hope it doesn't happen.
I'll sue if it doesn't happen. I hear Juliani is available.

Disneynature tooDoes anyone in TWDC of WDI care about National Geographic? As they have an entire content brand suitable for synergising at DAK.
I doubt Disney's gonna do that.They could however invent a new story with the characters of Moana that did fit in DAK a little better, though
Thank you!!Don't think about the plot. Think about the theme, characters and setting.
Jennifer Lee mentioned encounters with mysterious animals and creatures of the deep.
I really like the way you worded this.Nope. The core concept within Moana is restoring balance and living in harmony with nature.
The value of nature and conservation is a key part of AK, not just animals.
It's really all the same topic. But as I mentioned, the CEO is not the problem. I don't love Iger, but let's stop pretending the IP mandate is solely Iger's fault.
It’s an oligarchy…at a minimum.Theres definitely a larger misunderstanding of what the parks are throughout the company considering the person that lead the discussion about Moana and Zootopia in DAK was from WDAS
It’s obviously being considered.Does anyone actually ‘in the know’ know if Zootopia is really still being considered for AK? Certainly they’ve read the backlash online. And if it’s a carbon copy of China (no doubt it would be with their vision of the parks nowadays), how would that even fit into AK?

...so long as it isn't the carbon copy urban car chase attraction from Shanghai.
There is a NG yellow box frame you can take your picture in near the entrance. So it's at least on someone's mindDoes anyone in TWDC of WDI care about National Geographic? As they have an entire content brand suitable for synergising at DAK.
I don’t think the “overall response” is what you imagine it to be.Well of course, it was mentioned at D23. I just was curious if plans had changed after seeing the overall response.

You can't please all the fans because there are as many fans of Disney Parks that thought Zootopia was episodic and not worthy of consideration...and honestly if the woman that wrote the characters says the characters represent a connection to animals and nature.... (but they have jobs, wear clothes, and work in a city?) She is fooling herself... It is a human story with animals playing the parts... It certainly does not feel like a connection to nature when the animals take public transportation....Here is the D23 presentation about DinoLand.
Notice
As I wrote before, Jennifer Lee, who was a writer for Zootopia, thinks it represents a connection to animals and nature for the audience. No use trying to convince me that the characters are fundamentally human: even if you convinced me, you can't convince her. She helped make them.
Also, the fans were actually a bit more excited for Zootopia than Moana! Since there is gong to be a sequel to Zootopia coming up, you can see why the Zootppia attraction may be more than just "blue sky."
I don't really care if it comes or not, but I don't like seeing fans disappointed, or forum members setting themselves up for disappointment. A lot of folks really want this, far more than the forum wants to believe. You might be able to keep downtown out of the park and such, but trying to say the animals shouldn't be there because they are human will get you nowhere.
You can believe they're furry humans if you like, but that's just not how Disney sees them.
