But the Pixar-ization of Disney’s parks in Anaheim, Orlando, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong is under way, with the Mouse set to spend hundreds of millions to turn the company’s characters into new rides, shows and other attractions.
It’s about time.
It lists all the recently-added Pixar-themed attractions at various theme parks and even the Disney Cruise line. Now most Disney loyalists probably (at least me) have no complaints about new attractions that emphasized the theme from various Pixar movies. Heaven knows those movies were quite good and were hits. But I think there's plenty to be said when existing facilities are retooled or rehabbed to be a Pixar-themed attraction. An example is the re-themeing of The Living Seas into The Seas with Nemo and Friends. While I don't quite care about the Nemo attraction that much, I think a lot of Disney fans are afraid that the Pixar-ization could take over many of the existing but weak attraction.
Although, truth to be told, I don't mind a lot of Pixar-ization of The Carousel of Progress, but I'm in the very small minority with this one! :)
