Isn't this what they did in the late 90s and early 2000s? Except this time Pixar isn't picking up the slack for them.

...And with their current M.O. they would immediately enshittify any functioning company they bought to plug the quality-shaped hole that is their present configuration; imagine if modern Disney was just now buying old Pixar, how quickly Pixar's output would turn to drek!
 
Full ride of the new splash mountain was released today and it's a snooze fest. Everyone in the comments think so, too. It would have been much more interesting to have Dr. Facilier be in the ride.

That may have worked as a lazy river ride, but not as a replacement for splash mountain.

That looks like some shit you’d see painted on the wall of your local petting zoo…

I thought maybe it was just scrim they put up while they still finish the real fence. Watching through it again that definitely the finished result. How embarrassing

It looks like something you'd see at a pop-up state fair, or maybe some roadside amusement park where kids get in free. It does not belong on a headliner ride of a world class amusement park - not even in the bathrooms or loading dock.

You mean they couldn’t even be bothered to incorporate Dr Faciller for a grand build-up?? This whole ride feels completely random and disjointed.

Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME? Keith David carried that movie. If they insist on tearing down Disney history, at least get the villains in on these projects.

I hate this timeline.
 
I'm listening to a video about the Disney Star Wars hotel and it boggles the mind how Disney could have at least eased people into it:

The immediate change is just build a small scale version of it in some zero property cost local place in New York or a surrounding state so that people who like Disney but can't travel all the way will have a place to spend their money. That place is also a good proof of concept since the idea of LARP hotel is niche. Also because building this thing won't cost a bazillion dollars they can make an actually sensible price and if it all goes well they can either make their massive hotel.

The only thing that makes sense is that the people under the project know that Disney is too big to fail, and their only purpose is making one big success to get to a higher position, so they don't care about actually building up anything.

I will admit I have never been to any Disney theme park, so I wanted to ask people who have- was Splash Mountain this slow and meandering?

Edit: also, are we taking bets on how many minutes into opening day until at least one animatronic breaks down, or the ride is completely shutdown?

The Disney World version did have its meandering moments, but there's a lot more to look at. The Disneyland version was considerably shorter, so it didn't have as big a pacing issue and had even more animatronics than the Disney World version. I'm curious if the new Disneyland one will feel fuller, but it won't matter much since the new story is so boring and uninteresting.
 
I'm kind of shocked that this did pop up when it did, but Bloomberg UK just dropped an article about Pixar trying fix recent slump by doing a mixture of sequels and original films and its deciding to test it with Inside Out 2.

But people on social media are really going apeshit over this excerpt where Pete Docter (or someone lording over him) says they need to cut back on more personalized stories like Turning Red and Luca and focus on films with whatever "clear mass appeal" means.

If you ask me, the problems with those two films (more so for Turning Red than Luca, I actually wanted to give the latter a chance until the LGBTQIABBQBYOBB+ bullied the director into compliance when they said that two MC's relationship wasn't meant to be gay) is that they're too personalized and that they feel like $200+ million-dollar therapy session for the director.

To use the examples I'm seeing on Twatter: There uniformity with experiences like Ratatouille and The Incredibles partially being based on Brad Bird's struggles with Disney and both Monsters, Inc. and Inside Out being based off of Pete Docter's parental anxieties and they've been contextualized and written in a matter that makes them approachable from many different angles. Luca and Turning Red (again, more so the latter than the former) starter as this but they never went through the same refining process that past Pixar films have.
