Zootopia at Animal Kingdom?

[Disney Maddux]

It's because this forum is overwhelmingly purist. I'm more moderate on the addition of IPs into the park but only when they make sense. I think Zootopia makes sense in all honesty and Disney executives probably do too.

Now let’s hope until this area opens (I’d think probably 2022), we get a temporary M&G.

I'm the exact way when it comes to the addition of IPs and but people on this board are very particular when it comes to certain things so I learned to ignore some posters.

No. A movie isn’t going to be developed or shaped based on the theme parks.

You don't know that... especially if Disney looking at opportunities to make money through merch I can very well see a movie tie in with the park.

I do know that. The parks follow the movies. It’s not a two-way street. The animation studio doesn’t care if Zootopia or a potential sequel fit the themes of any of the parks and they have no say in what gets built in the parks; their focus is on making a good movie.

Just because a certain formula exists it doesn't mean it can't be broken and I agree with the majority of your post. They don't care about movies fitting in with the theme parks and just focus on making a good movie but I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of a collaboration because we don't know the future.

You have heard of Pirates of the Caribbean, right? Or Jungle Cruise?

Haunted Mansion? Tomorrowland?

I'm aware we may want to forget those exist, but...

Even those don’t conform to what already existed at the parks.

We already have movies that conform to DAK... all the ones made by DisneyNature.

And soon, everything by NatGeo...

No, but the success of what was at the parks caused the development of those films. And it's happened on multiple occasions. So to say that the relationship between the parks and the movies is not a two-way street is not accurate.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that the next Zootopia movie is going to be designed to support a new land at Walt Disney World. It likely won't. I'm just saying that it is not without precedent for the parks to influence the movies, as well as vice-versa.

Zootopia reminds me of something Dreamworks would produce - very forgetful

People have regarded it as one of Disney best movies so I think your in the minority.

I hope it means this gets officially announced at D23 next year.

 

[danlb_2000]

Has anybody thought about the sequel of Zootopia being more about conservation therefore making the possibility of a land being dedicated to it.

There would be no need to do that, current management wouldn't have any problem putting Zootopia as is in Animal Kingdom.

Nor should they.

All I know is if I had a dollar for every time @Zootopia Dude told us his wish for a M & G in this forum, My family of 4 would never have to pay for another trip to the world! LOL, but honestly, I admire your desire to see Zootopia at AK, as others have said it really doesn't fit in the park, but as I learned growing up, if you stay in the batting cage long enough, you're bound to make contact sooner or later...

And "Fantasy" seems the right word, are any of these Zootopia addicts female? Why do I get a feeling there is a cross section of these guys and my little pony Male fans...brony= Zootopians?
