News Round Up 2017

Honestly I'd do an animatronic of Walt and maybe Roy with a few imagineers talking about the Florida project and how they got to that point.

I'd re-include an area where people can to the hand drawn animation classes and just offer a few experiences like that which can spark imagination

They could easily put that in launch bay once that has run its course and includes the theatre needed to help tell the story

Is love to see the courtyard really revamped into something that really showcases animation. Better than it's previous incarnation

 

[Sweettears]

Yeah, but seems like it was more often than not not playing anyway.

I'll take what we can get

For those that either missed it or would like to see something similar Walt Disney The Man Behind the Myth is available on DVD. I can't say for certainty but I believe that a lot of the material for One Man's Dream was drawn from this.

I'd like to see an animatronic of Walt in the following situation (but I like your idea too):

You could walk into a showroom and he could be there at his desk. Then he'll launch into an explanation/introduction to what is about to happen, kind of like how he used to have those TV specials where he would talk about a new movie or showcase design elements of a new ride.

that would be amazing! it'd be so cool to have an animatronic of walt disney, since the company always likes showing him as "one of us". they would have to find the world's best walt disney impersonator if they didn't use archived audio, though

I think they have lots of old audio. Probably more than enough to splice a few speeches together.

The new Mission Space Green show looks decent.
I'll miss Gary Sinise but Gina Torres did an excellent job.
Really love the new film. It seems a little shorter than the old MS Green but could just be me.
Only hiccup I see is possible delays getting rolling if nervous parents mess around getting the booster seat just right.
Excited to check this out in a few weeks.

Slightly off topic, I was reading a thing not too long ago that there's software either in development or research that will easily be able to replicate a person's voice perfectly. Therefore making it possible to hear someone's voice say anything they wanted to with some crazy good accuracy. Basically photoshop for voices. I'm probably butchering it but basically it was from the perspective of politics (shocking I know). Basically if someone is "on tape" saying something they didn't really then it will be harder and harder to prove they didn't say offensive or terrible things. Of course this can have really great applications for good, such as with our Walt Disney animatronic example. Not so great if someone uses it for bullying or personal gain.

I personally do not like the new Mission Space pre-show at all. Gary Sinise was way more believable. Why in the world would they take him out and put a no namer in?

This sounds pretty terrifying, the capacity for bad things, anyway.

I just found out that I may be going to Denver for Labor Day break...if that happens I'll be seeing a preview performance!

One Mans Dream to become Walt Disney Presents preview center

http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions...ecome-walt-disney-presents-preview-center.htm

I'm assuming that the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge model is the one from the D23 Expo?

Does Disney have to pay royalties to anyone that they use in their pre-shows? Maybe the new person was cheaper? Just a thought...

Also, I think his movie said "mission to Mars." There are different experiences now so he would have had to record again.

That's Gina Torres. She's mainly known for Firefly which has a huge cult/geek following. According to her IMDB she's been in a huge range of things. Plus recently a couple of episodes of Westworld which is a pretty widely acclaimed HBO series.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I'm pretty sure knowing or not knowing celebrities is all relative anyway. I have/had no idea who Gary Sinise is. I do know Gina Torres.

Bingo, I only recently learned of who Ed Sheeran due to the drama of his appearance on Game of Thrones. Lots of actors do the intro videos and are from other stuff or end up in other things. I was watching a youtube video of body wars and recognized two of the actors in it.

It won't be the full D23 model but yes.

I don't know who Gina Torres is but know Gary Sinise.

I only know her because my wife watches Suits.
