@LifeWithSymonee I mean, the movie does address this. The older girl, Hortensia, basically says her parents don’t believe her because the Trunchbull is so over-the-top. Matilda even tells her mom and she just doesn’t care.
@elaine_stritch Well, you are traveling. “Glamorous Life” and “Weekend in the Country” are obligatory road-trip songs. They’re literally about road trips!
@ReinbewPastel It probably also helps Barbossa’s a live action design with more balanced, nuanced proportions and expressions instead of this cartoony-looking guy
@TheEntConnect I feel like the moving faces projections would be less egregious if it was in the town scenes, where’s a lot of moving bells and whistles and they blend in a little better, and they’re already supposed to be very active
@JohnTheMon2 I politely disagree; it was not as egregious at Epic when I went in January, but that might recency bias. Regardless, it’s less egregious to see on a brand new ride with a lot of active bells and whistles than a dark and solitary scene on a ride old enough to be a grandpa.
@HarrisonHighto2@tinymallet@andreajessica I think the idea’s less the treasure and more the transition of their present dead remnants and their past living selves, and that guy marking the cut off. It’s how Leota’s the first ghost you “see” in Haunted Mansion
@KnightedNate@ThemeParkLore Also Hatbox Ghost doesn’t work as a concept without the hatchet-murderer bride next to him. The same bride in all these photos, hatboxes all around the attic, the bride with her axe, the groom revealing where his head is and who killed him!
@Decentguyusedto Cause he’s not a person robot. All the robots shaped like people- C-3PO, the soldiers, the secretaries are all capable of talking, which indicates they’ve been programmed with that capability on purpose, which does speak to some pro-Humanist bias in the greater universe
@ThemeParkDirk I’m probably completely dead wrong, but I feel like Tom Hanks would be an easy, obvious and well-liked choice. He even did play Disney in “Saving Mr. Banks,” so it’s not a stretch of the imagination to say he could do this
@Dr_GrantSeeker Apparently it’s only a 21-minute show. I’m not going to pretend to be a logistics expert, but a 40-minute show doesn’t sound bad to me, especially since there are other shows at Disney only a little shorter
@elaine_stritch I always have a soft spot for Scooter. He’s just a little nerd. But without him, the show doesn’t run, so even if he never gets to perform, he’s still my favorite
@humility2D Yes! They were filing promos for the World Cup in one of the soundstages and I didn’t get to see them! Though I suppose Kermit and Miss Piggy are too important to meet me
@mabithebard@sanhw4lvr Monty Python and the Holy Grail does have a hilarious bit where an on-screen Narrator is present for all of 30 seconds before he’s mowed down by a knight, so I guess it can work if you lean into the humor of the show.
@hiimbobbi Matilda’s just a hell of a good movie. As a movie, it’s good. As an adaptation of a book, it’s faithful. Well-acted, well-written, just an all-around excellent movie.
@braddrinks Adding onto it, the San Francisco area does have that little body of water next to it, I feel like they could easily add a little Jaws scene with a mechanical shark and stunt actors on the boat. That would be neat.
