I wholeheartedly disagree. I think this land is exactly the type of design that we've seen too far, few, and in-between as of late - something whimsical, fantastical, and joyful. I enjoy all the lands you've mentioned above, but I think it's not an apples to apples comparison as each of the lands you mentioned still feel real and accessible to a degree. Even the most 'alien' of lands - GE and Pandora - still are rooted in a sense of realism. Meaning, GE looks like some desert landscape, simply with alien carvings, while Pandora looks like a jungle with a gentle alien touch (the floating mountains illusion never sold me). Meanwhile Africa and Asia are reimaginings of literal real places, and Cars Land is literally Route 66.Gonna throw this out there. The super bright solid color palette is closer to Toy Story Land than some of the vastly superior lands like Galaxy's Edge, Pandora, Africa, Asia and Cars Land.
Look no further than Tokyo Disney Sea where the closest comp in that park is Mermaid Lagoon which still looks better than this.
This doesn't look bad, but let's not lose are stuff for a very cartoony land. They nailed it, but it's the best execution of a mediocre themed environment, just like Toy Story.
Wait... is that Papyrus font?Disney says the land will open by the end of this year. December maybe?
I wonder if Marvel or Pandora is next.

From pure aesthetics, I'll take Hong Kong's Frozen Land over the Zootopia land 10 times out of 10. That being said, I suspect that the Zootopia attraction puts the two Frozen attractions to shame.I wholeheartedly disagree.

Zootopia isn't any of those things. And where it differs from Toy Story is 1) it's level of interactivity, which adds to the immersive factor; 2) the sheer vibrancy of the land, and 3) it's lack of saturation in the parks as of now, which I think affects how we perceive it's quality.
Let's not say "very cartoony" as if it's a bad thing in a park primarily based on cartoons.
Disney Parks confirms 12/20.
Its mostly because their eyes are screens, those don't translate well to camera. You have the same issue when you would take a picture of Daisy.Not to nitpick off a one second clip, but does anyone else feel like those Nick and Judy animatronics look kind of . . . weird?
That's actually not the issue I'm taking with them - though I don't particularly love the projected eyes.Its mostly because their eyes are screens, those don't translate well to camera. You have the same issue when you would take a picture of Daisy.
