This is very interesting to see, as a great many people consider Disneyland to be the ghetto park not worth going to.

Land seems to be getting all the rides with Disney/Pixar IP. Pixar Pier is a cool attraction, but only in Land. Meanwhile World is slowly just becoming an IP farm. Their newest attractions are Star Wars, but based on the shitty sequel trilogy, and Avatar, which looks good as imagineers actually gave a shit with that one, but it is still Avatar. Who cares about the blue peeps at this point?

Disney Land also has the cool Nightmare Before Christmas event during when I am going, which I thought both parks had before looking up again.

I feel like if you want that Disney/Pixar experience, Cali may actually have the better parks. World just wants to be all of Disney’s acquired series at this point. While some are cool, like the new Gaurdians of The Galaxy ride in Epcot, I would rather go on something like the Incredicoster over Star Wars shitquel land. Like seriously, how does World not have an Incredibles ride? At least Toy Story land looks decent, probably held up by God-tier Toy Story Mania being the big ride.

I don't know why they didn't even convert the arcade into Litwak's Arcade, that would've been the easiest thing to do.

Honestly that would've worked brilliantly. I guess Disney didn't feel like calling up numerous collectors/distributors for original arcade cabinets to stick in that place. Let alone design/manufacture a "Fix-It Felix Jr." original cab of their own.

The DDR machine alone would have been an autistic endeavour. To this day I still see arcade places that have old SuperNova machines rather than the updated DDR-A machines that Round 1 seems to carry, and I'm guessing because shit is mad expensive.

Problem is, nobody likes SuperNova, and HATE X/X2, so if Disney went the cheapo route and got that, you'd hear an echo of groans and rage from miles away. And at that point, they would be better sticking with anything Extreme or below.

EDIT: Of course this is me assuming they even have a DDR machine to begin with. Never been there and never saw their arcade section if they even have one at all.

Back twenty years ago or so I recall a few DDR machines at various spots in WDW, pretty sure Tomorrowland arcade even had the Disney Rave unit.
They've had some various stuff that was very uncommon in the USA, like they had the Small Portable Classroom version of Galaxians 3

Tomorrow Land is a massive waste of missed potential in general, so even expecting basic shit is likely to much.

Honestly, it is sad to see. The idea of Tomorrow Land is great, being a sci-if futuristic space location in Magic Kingdom, yet they do nothing with it. As of right now, it is a land with Space-Mountain being the only real big attraction. Other than that we have a 6-Flags tier Buzz Lightyear ride that I swear never functioned properly when I went on it and Monster’s Inc comedy show that very loosely fits the theme. Stitch has been shit canned much to the dismay of @Vyse Inglebard I am sure. All that is left is original rides like the Speedway and the best Drawn Together joke. I guess Tron will be coming soon, but that feels very should have happened long ago ride.

The land just seems dead. The sad part is that with the new IPs Disney has, it could probably get some new life while building off the theme. How the fuck that land has gone without Big Hero 6 is beyond me as that movie screams perfect for fitting the theme. Walt wanted the land to be an idealized future where technology works in the betterment of society. Big Hero 6’s entire opening was Tadashi teaching his brother that he should apply his engineering mind to create things to benefit others. Baymax would be a good fit for a modern look into the ideal health care of the future where robots are built to take care of health needs. I would love for them to build the technology institute in the land of tomorrow as a stepping stone to a better future.

Wreck-It-Ralph would also do pretty well given the video game, internet, and tech themes of the series. They really should revamp the Stitch’s Great Escape ride to be Hero’s Duty training. Use the seats to simulate Cybugs crawling around. They should continue the simulation gone wrong angle of the previous two iterations as the game gets a virus midway through that is, say, Turbotastic!
Have the creepy-ass King Candy Cybug appear in the simulation to scare the shit out of the audience. Maybe give guests head sets and blasters and Turbo can shut off the game for some players. I think there is something interesting you can do with Ralph using the format of the Alien ride.

Other than that, they could probably do so much with Tomorrow Land while utilizing IP. Tron is happening, but was an obvious one for years. If they want to replace Buzz with another Disney Channel show, Phineas and Ferb would probably make for a great replacement as it is a series split between two engineering children and a scientist, showing the good/bad of technology. Maybe base the ride on the 2nd Dimension special so you can blast Doof’s bots. As cringe as it is to say, Marvel would also likely fit well in this land.

That's because the current cultural zeitgeist is barely seeing towards the end of the day, much less a century ahead, hedonistic, more focused on the celebration of the cause de jour than anything, and so on.

Shame. Poor Walt didn't ask for this.

Speaking of unseen potential, here's a computer animated short made by Disney in the 80's, directed by Mike Cedeno.

it's been a mess for a while
obviously the old blue and white was god's chosen Tomorrowland, but that only remains in Japan
EuroDisney had a nice spin of doing Verne-style brass futureism
90s Tomorrowland was pretty good at a solid vision, and even then the slot that became Buzz Lightyear's Gun Game was still Dreamflight or If You Had Stuff or whatever, so it wasn't ever really fitting with Alien Encounter , Peoplemover, and Timekeeper doing the "sorta worlds fair-ish things" mise-en-scene

Just bumped into this video looking through YT, and frankly, I made sure to purge this horsefucker from my recommendations in a heartbeat.

After looking it up, Hakim is apparently this card-carryingly Marxis BreadTuber, so of course he'd moralfag about Aladdin.

goddamn it would suck being under the knife of this durka. good luck with these imported doctors, britbongs
 
They really did just copy off of Wayne Barlowe's homework for that, "Strange World" movie, didn't they? It's like if they mashed the Alien Planet Documentary from 2005 with Turning Red. I'm also betting a thousand bucks the old white guy will turn out to be the villain and betray the team to exploit the planet for some company or some shit. I swear if Disney doesn't even mention Barlowe in the credits at the very least I'll be pissed.

Nah, not really. Stitch's Great Escape was just a crappy re-skin of the (from what I've heard) excellent Alien Encounter. Speaking of Stitch, though:

Disney chooses “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” director to direct the live-action “Lilo & Stitch” film​

Deadline’s Justin Kroll has reported that Disney has chosen Dean Fleischer Camp, whose 2021 film Marcel the Shell with Shoes On received rave reviews, to direct the upcoming live-action Lilo & Stitch film. Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich (The Lego Movie franchise [Lin only] and 2019’s Aladdin) of production company Rideback will be producing the film, while Rideback’s Ryan Halprin will be executive producer.

Additionally, Hawaiian-born-and-based Chris Kekaniokalani Bright, whose unproduced script Conviction was chosen for the Black List survey in 2018, is in negotiations with Disney to write the script. Kroll also stated in his article that it is uncertain if the film will be a theatrical or Disney+ streaming release, although The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit stated that it will be a tentpole feature on Dinsey+.

The live-action film was confirmed to be under development in 2018. Mike Van Waes was initially attached to write the script, but reportedly Disney rejected his script. It was also reported in November 2020 that Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians) was in talks to direct, but by May 2021, he bowed out to focus on adaptations of the musical Wicked and Crazy Rich Asians sequel China Rich Girlfriend.
_________________________________________________
Marcell the Shell with Shoes On was a pretty good film, and the fact that the writer is Hawaiian-born and based gives me hope, since Hawaii loves Lilo & Stitch:

Y'know, maybe this live-action remake won't be so bad after all. In fact, since I'm in such a good mood, let's take a look at that Conviction script the writer wrote that's apparently so good:

CONVICTION​

Written by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright
Feature Film | Warner Brothers

The incredible true story of the final trial of Clarence Darrow, the greatest attorney of the 20th century who for the first and only time in his career was fighting for the wrong side. Darrow defends a wealthy white family caught murdering a native Hawaiian boy whom they wrongfully accused of raping their daughter.
