News Round Up 2017

Cinemagic is the best of that sorry bunch. Even that though is a bit of a mouthful for a park name. If they aren't going with Hollywood Adventure, they should consider Disney's Movie Magic or something easy to say/spell/pronounce for the general public.

As an aside.... what is up with Jack Skellington's head in that M&G???

Is that the Paris M&G? The character has a mask on and then uses his mouth as part of the costume unlike other character who wear a full mask/head. This is so jack can speak with guests.

Actually - Disney Cinemagic Park is not bad, except that we already have a park with Magic in the name. I would really hope given the years they've had to think about this they can come up with something better than this. I also am suspicious whether they would poll the park name. Did they poll Disney Springs? I don't think they did.

Take a closer look at the image that MickeyMinnieMom posted. It's actually "Disney Cinemagine Park", not Magic. It's either a massive typo or this survey is bogux.

Both are on the list. Cinemagine and Cinemagic.

I should remember this but wasn't Disney CA Adventure originally Disney's CA Adventure?

Yes.

 

[Sweettears]

Yeah they all suck. Disney could have a name picked and they are just gauging public interest.

Or be leaving the name unchanged. If the survey is legit putting up the DHS against a bunch of terrible options is a great way to achieve "by popular demand" no name change.

I didn't see anyone mention this - but the Hocus Pocus merch was not available at all at Not So Scary Friday night.
There are different stories going around about why this might be. Some are saying the merch just didn't arrive in time. Others are wondering if it's a possible legal/copyright issue. Someone pointed out that the style used for the artwork is VERY similar to the Ghastlies. If this is the case and whoever illustrated the Hocus Pocus work for Disney did this against copyright someone will definitely be out of a job (legal reasons and the whole loss of profit from all of this, if this is indeed the reason).

oh man someone is DEFINITELY out of a job if this was without permission!

Yeah, it's way too close to even deny ever seeing the Ghastlies stuff. It's possible the same illustrator did both, but if it wasn't...

Coincidence??? Hmmmmmmm

 

[MommaBerd]

Wow! I can't believe how similar they are. I can't even imagine how much that is going to cost Disney...

 

[ej119]

I hope its just a delay -- I really liked this Hocus Pocus merch!

 

[AMusicLifeForMe]

My opinion about the possible rename for DHS survey...I don't know if I like any of those to be honest.

A new survey hints at a possibly new name for Disney Hollywood Studios.

My money is still on Disney Studio's Adventure.

What better power play than having a gate that's essentially named after your film studio that's filled with all your diverse IPs.

I didn't think art styles could be copyrighted? Just the work itself. And then the specific characters get trademarked.

A style can't be copyrighted, but it could still look bad for Disney.
It's possible that the merch not coming out could have nothing to do with this at all - it's just something someone pointed out.

I'm not entirely sure. I always see bands copying art for their shirts when I go to concerts, but don't know if they get permissions etc

Here's a suggestion to the new Hollywood Studios name: "Disney's LAND"

Love it! Can you imagine the confusion of the "average" guest?
