Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

Probably "It's Tough to Be a Bug" could be on the chopping block as well. It's like a worse version of Muppetvision 3-D.

I really really hope not. I LOVE It's tough to be a bug. Particularly the last little bit with the Beatles under your chair. That's my very favorite part. Even knowing it's coming, it just makes me so happy.

Muppetvision 3D on the other hand could disappear forever and I'd be totally fine with it. The muppets style of humor has just never worked for me for whatever reason.

I agree with you on ITTBAB, but I can't on Muppets! I do think Muppets could use an update, but still be Muppets themed. I'd like to see something where they do it like The Muppet Show but with randomized sketches so you might see different things at different times.

I LOVE the audience reactions at ITTBAB! Man, it's great!

Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only one! LOL My family loves Muppets, everywhere I go people seem to love them. Doesn't work for me either.

I have yet to see that full attraction...I try to stay awake sometimes in there, but I just can't...lol. It makes for a good power nap though!!

 

[imbelle]

That poor dog has upset me since I was a kid.

Me too, but then I don't care who dies in a movie as long as it's not the dog.

 

[MidnightMeeko]

I would be happy if Muppet Vision never ever ever changed. I love that it's a small glimpse at the old MGM Studios when the end scene happens and literally there's a glimpse of the 80s. It makes me happy. The whole thing makes me happy -except for the way the theater is loaded, in which people rush and crush the doorways. That's how I feel about all the 'fill in all available space' places. Legit dangerous way of doing things. I guess that circles back to HM then too, which I love. I'd just prefer the stretching room to be loaded and unloaded differently, but I believe that room to be absolutely integral to the whole story of the attraction.

if you haven't yet, sit in the front row and watch the penguins.

 

[OKW Lover]

They will change the name of Gorilla Falls.

Gorilla Trips?

 

[Shelby Schroepfer]

Gorilla Trips?

oh my god I cannot breatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 

[Jennasis]

Exactly. It's a haunted house - it's supposed to be that way! The entire theme is death - even if it is presented in a fun way.

As for the dog, my buddy's dog is a mix with an Italian Greyhound and he's super-skinny, but also very healthy for his type, but also, it's not a real dog, but a caricature of one.

I own an actual greyhound. She's our 3rd in fact. Right off the track. Don't spit on my cupcake and tell me it's frosting. That HM dog is emaciated.

Yeah, but it's also a cartoon dog, and his name is "Bones." He's just a caricature and he shares his mold with a ghost dog that can be seen at another point in the ride.

And my buddy's dog, well, I don't know exactly what kind his is, but I was told "Italian Greyhound." He is much smaller than a regualr greyhound though. And he is quite skinny - but I also know that he is 100% healthy and eats plenty.

First Look at ‘Star Wars: Andor’ B2EMO Droid​

ComicBook.com has shared a first look at B2EMO, a new droid that will debut in “Star Wars: Andor” on Disney+.

ComicBook.com’s Jenna Anderson snapped a photo of the red droid at an exhibit at San Diego Comic-Con. The droid’s description reads, “B2EMO – or Bee-two or more simply, Bee – is a very old and weary groundmech salvage assist unit that’s been towing scrap for the Andor family for years. The droid has a wide array of mechanical tools and various capabilities to meet the functions required.”

It isn't though. That poor dog has upset me since I was a kid. And I can't figure out why the suicide effigy is still there. It's only a matter of time.

HM is definitely sacred. I confess I've never noticed how skinny the dog is, and I've ridden HM for over 30 years, so if they were to plump up the dog, I still wouldn't notice.

The effigy needs to stay. The stretching room is beyond iconic, and that effigy and the bloodcurdling room just set the tone for the ride perfectly.

I assume Peter Pan will be the next to be changed.

That's WDW...

and here is how the caretaker and his dog appear in the Boo to You parade:




By no means am I suggesting removing the dog...I'm suggesting they FEED him.

But...it's not a real dog.

The real dog in the parade looks plenty fed.

 

[mrsap]

Good Morning All!!! Happy Friday!!!!!!

 

[Jennasis]

The real dog in the parade looks plenty fed.

They weren't really auctioning off women in the pirates ride either. It's a representation of something real.

Let's just agree to disagree and move along.

 

[mrsap]

… move along.
