Even the bleak, dystopian future portrayed in Wall-E (which is totally contrary to the ideals of Tomorrowland) is a better fit than a contemporary video game.Quote:

Exactly my point. The basis of Wall-E was the future... or Pixar's idea of our doomed future which would scare children into the global warming craze.Quote:

TRON/TRON: Legacy actually have a underlying themes of the technology of computers, how they impact our lives, and the possibility of humans traveling inside them. The movie's sci-fi feel and premise makes for a more "realistic" (e.g. less of a cartoon fantasy than Wreck-It Ralph) story that would function relatively well in a location that is promoting the promises and innovations of the future.Quote:

Shoot!! if DL really wants to up the ante on doom and gloom attractions/story lines, design a Black Hole attraction/adventure ride.. Wall-E would create a culture of conservation "Green" ect. I agree. However applying a storyline with the innovation of space travel/technology as the build up of the ride w / a scheduled space mission and then have the failed space mission end up down the black hole. Kinda like getting plummeled by the train at the end of "Mr. Toads Wild Ride." Would be wicked fun!! Sorry I got:ot:Quote:

If its gone, I'm sure it was due to lack of popularity.Quote:
