Minor Avatar Update: Joe Rohde & James Cameron Tour AK

[DCTooTall]

Interesting -- thanks for the link. I don't know this guy or his track record... does he have a source, or did he just sum up what he read on a bunch of message boards?

The Muppet thing throws everything he wrote into doubt. I'd love to see a Muppet Land -- but I think there's no chance of that happening no matter how well the movie does.

The Muppet Expansion wouldn't be TOO difficult to do I would think. If the Movie does extremely well, They could easily dust off the old plans for the Great Muppet Movie Ride and other Muppet attractions they did years ago back before Henson died.

Why are so many people expecting the new Muppet movie to do well? Not trying to be a jerk about it but weren't the last few basically flops and or insignificant?

I think they generally did OK actually, with the exception of "Muppets From Space" (which was distributed/produced by Sony, not Disney, and the last theatrical release). Everything since Disney's acquisition of the Muppets has been on TV so far, and well received.

They Also all have had the muppets playing other characters, not themselves. The new movie has the Muppets starring as Themselves.

It's written and starring Jason Segel. That is a win right there.

Also cameos from Zach Galifinakakis, Dave Grohl, NPH, Sara Silverman, Katy Perry and Ben Stiller. How can that not be awesome?

The people my Age (under 21 crowd) don't go see it because they have no idea who the Muppets are?

"Stop wasting your time here in AK, Jim -- head over the Potter Land and see how these things are REALLY designed."

I like this! Disney Imagineering can admit: "Hey, these guys did an excellent job and this is one of our benchmarks. Let's learn from what they did right, and fix what they did wrong." (I'm thinking the teeny-tiny stores.)
