Okay, that's pretty awesome. I'm down for that. I can't help but think it deserves a better title.

Seriously. It has a great premise but that title is a disaster.

 

[qindarka]

I believe it's been mentioned that Zootopia is a working title. Then again, silly one word titles are in vogue at WDAS.

Anyway, this is the part that excites me most:

In a nod to how the real world has animal habitats, Zootopia is divided into different regions for different animals of different environments. There's Sahara Square, a fabulously wealthy desert region patterned after Dubai and Monte Carlo complete with casinos and brightly lit nighttime cityscapes; the winter wonderland of Tundratown, where ice mountains are transformed into high rises; Little Rodentia; and the overwhelmingly cute and sweet Burrow Borough, home to a billion bunnies.

Could have quite some variation of settings and there could be a lot of fun stuff to be done in this world.

Was hoping that they would reveal more info for Giants as well, especially whether it is another adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk (I hope not). Too much to expect I suppose, was surprised that info from Zootopia was released given how secretive they have been recently.

A new image was also released to tease the characters of Big Hero 6:

Is it wrong that the only one that 100% captures my interest is Zootopia?

One of these years I will get there.

I hear it's pretty horrible, and has not improved.

I went to the first one in 09 and thought it was phenomenal. The imagineering exhibit alone was worth the price of admission.

Actually the plan for Hollywood Studios is to just keep that front area of Great movie ride, the old hollywood stuff and tower of terror and completely repurpose/bulldoze the rest of the park and split it up between Lucasfilm and Pixar. Apparently, attendance has dropped so poorly at that park since Universal opened Harry Potter land that Disney agrees they need to do something substantial. The biggest thing slowly them down is they get queasy about spending money even though its the only way they are going to attract guests.

My wife and I visited Disney World this spring and we definitely felt that away about Hollywood Studios. The "flow" of the park just doesn't work as well as the others and a lot of the stuff does seem dated.

Are they getting rid of The Great Movie Ride?

Anyway is it likely we'll get at least some good theme park news?

 

[Exterminieren]

I love Hollywood Studios.

Easily the best of the WDW parks, in rides and feel.

1) No. If they get the funds the plan is to refurb it remove certain sections and replace with others

2)No. Disney announced in advanced there would be teasers for projects but no details. I had heard they wanted to announce Star Wars plans on the 2 year anniversary of announcing Avatar. But that may be pushed back to Spring next year after NGE overrunning in costs ... also that will have an impact on all WDW related projects.

Problem is that you can knock studios out in half a day without a problem. Same goes for animal kingdom. MK is over stuffed now.

Actually I feel all the parks are kinda stale and MK is not overstuffed compared to say Disneyland.

In relation to each other I mean. Just wish MK would get booze stands like the other parks.

Yep. Would be nice to get rum and a dole whip at the same time. Instead of having to go to the Poly to get one.

Disney nerd asks Captain America the HARD questions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LcIshwtnUI&feature=player_embedded

"How did you survive the events that transpired in The Avengers?"

"Uh that was just a film sir"

If he were across the street at Disneyland, he would be expected to really play the role of Captain America and answer that question as if really survived what happened in The Avengers.

Preview of a song from Frozen by Idina Menzel that was shown at D23. Only about one minute of it in this video though:

To anyone attending the Disney infinity panel tomorrow, if you don't want the figure they hand out let me know. I'd be interested in purchasing it from you.

 

[S1kkZ]

the live action panel should start in an hour, right?

 

[Mariolee]

the live action panel should start in an hour, right?

Yup, about 40 minutes now, but considering yesterday it'll probably be late.

 

[Zebra]

Live action panel starting now.

[Mariolee]

Starting on time? Crazy!

 

[Gunstarheroes]

To anyone attending the Disney infinity panel tomorrow, if you don't want the figure they hand out let me know. I'd be interested in purchasing it from you.

What's the figure?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Panel so far: "WE BOUGHT LUCASFILM YO"

 

[Zebra]

I guess J.J. is still on board Ep. VII.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Awww, fuck you Disney. I need ma VII deets :'(

 

[Zebra]

Unless they pull a big surprise at the end of this, which I doubt they will, no Ep. VII news.

 

[Cheebo]

I guess J.J. is still on board Ep. VII.

That rumor got shot down a few weeks ago.

 

[Zebra]

That rumor got shot down a few weeks ago.

Ah I must have missed that when it happened.

 

[duckroll]

Alan Taylor is at the panel, so it doesn't look like Marvel totally hates his work and threw him under a bus like some rumors suggested.

 

[Mariolee]

Thread subtitle needs to be renamed: "Lightsabers nowhere"

 

[Zebra]

GotG time! Hopefully we find out the full cast.

 

[duckroll]

Captain America sounds pretty good. They definitely need to nail the new feeling of Cap in the modern world to make the character work moving forward, so I hope the directors really make an impact.

 

[TDLink]

More people get to see the GotG footage and they aren't me. Boo.

 

[Mariolee]

Age of Ultron baby! This panel is going by really quickly.

 

[Anth1888]

No new GotG news. Nothing from Star Wars or Marvel.

 

[duckroll]

I'm amused by how it sounds like a lot of the Marvel footage is being censored because the Disney Expo needs to be G rated or something? Minor swearing, violence, and flipping the bird seems to be cut out from stuff they already showed at SDCC. Lol.

 

[Zebra]

What?! I thought for sure we would be getting the voice actor for Rocket Raccoon at least.

 

[Mariolee]

We were fools.

Come on Disney, drop that Tron 3-based announcement! This'll be me when (if) it happens.

 

[WordAssassin]

I'm still irrationally upset they changed the name of the Muppets sequel

 

[Hot Coldman]

Having "...Again!" in the name of your film is probably too on-the-nose for Disney, the world's biggest sequel maker.

 

[Cheebo]

Come on Disney, drop that Tron 3-based announcement! This'll be me when (if) it happens.

There will never be a Tron 3. The second didnt do well. That talk was just PR nonsense to get people to buy Tron legacy dvd/bluray's. It has long since entered development hell.

 

[WordAssassin]

They just gave it a subtitle recently, I'm pretty sure it's slowly moving forward.

Edit: I can't find the damn thing, what the heck? It wasn't even a good subtitle, it was really lame.

Anyway the people involved have been talking about it as recently as last month so it's not like Disney is just sweeping it under the rug.

FLYNN LIVES.

 

[Jangaroo]

Thought the director said the script for Tron 3 was still being worked on after he finished up Oblivion.

 

[Zebra]

Tomorrowland sounds really interesting.

 

[duckroll]

So Tomorrowland is like.... a Disney conspiracy movie? Da Vinci Code with Disney history and legacy instead of Christianity? @_@ Weird.

Everything About Disney That Snopes Has Debunked: The Movie

 

[gotee12]

What's the figure?

Rumor is that it's sorcerer's apprentice Mickey. I'm sure it'll be released for the public later but they're touting it as "limited" which makes me think there will be some kind of D23 stamp or alternate paint scheme on it.

Edit: rumor source

The subtitle was Tron: Voyage.


I know. It's awful.

 

[Hindle]

What's the premise for Inside Out?

 

[Zebra]

Silas Lesnick: But things get really bad when she says she doesn't want the film to be like, "One of your silly cartoons".

Silas Lesnick: Walt looks very serious and then finally speaks.

Ya done goofed, Travers.

Some really neat shots of vintage DIsneyland with Hanks' Walt giving a tour.

I can't wait to see this.
