Despicable Me 1 is outstanding. Funny, great story and it has heart. DM2 was terrible. Mostly because Gru was nice. Despicable Me is better when Gru is angry. Looking forward to TSLOP though. And whether the movie turns out great or not I don't care.....I JUST WANT A NEW DARK RIDE!

I'll strongly second the request for a new Dark Ride. :agree:

Pixar does it themselves too ;)

This has been passed around and it's funny, I'll give it that. But Illuimination does put less money into the storywriting process than Pixar ever does among other things, thats why they're able to keep budgets down among what they clear up in animation costs. (although I'd expect TSLOP costs more than Minions due to all the new characters)

While Pixar is able to give (or at least try VERY hard to attempt) their movies a deeper, unpredictable and more emotional story (which you may have noticed that touch has improved Disney's own animated films), Illumination is content with making a thinner story that may not be dramatically satisfying in any way, but will win over audiences by being broad and silly, but not overly obnoxious. ("Minions", IMO, teeters on obnoxious slightly but otherwise harmless) So if they want their movie to be a shameless retread of Toy Story tropes (I was myself surprised by how it managed to cull ideas from all three films) but with pets, that's not gonna stop anybody from watching it. It's not my own personal cup of tea, but it's going to be what a lot of people will want to see. The same people who went crazy for Inside Out and will for Finding Dory, too. It's a healthy market and Disney has reigned for a reason, and Illumination is also doing so for a reason too.

Universal should be proud to showcase their own IPs at the park. I have nothing against bought IPs, but IMO if Uni has an IP that they own and is currently popular, they should utilize it. Obviously the Potter stuff at Universal is as high as you can go, but you can still experience Harry Potter-related attractions elsewhere, such as London. The WB Studio Tour still has some Potter IIRC. Shrek 4D I can liteally pull up on Netflix right now.

The Secret Life of Pets, if it's a hit (and I think it'll be a massive one), will only be able to be found at Universal parks. Period. Just like Despicable Me, specialized merch and everything will make Universal parks the home of this franchise. Just as Jaws and BTTF used to be, and King Kong will again. Own it, Universal.

What pisses me off about all of these mega-animation franchises is the biggest get crap when it comes to theme parks.

DM - Re-theme of an ancient ride system
Toy Story - Buzz and TSMM (and soon to be a largely wasted 11-acre land)
Frozen - Re-theme of a 30+ year old boat ride
Nemo - lackluster omnimover and a decent show at DAK
Monster Inc - Laugh Floor (which, while can be fun and is different every time, they can do much better with the property)

I'm really looking forward to this ride because of what we've heard, nothing to do with the movie. If the movie does great like I expect, then it'll be one of the first big (recent) animated films to actually be given proper treatment in Florida.

:agree: It seems you have to be either California or a different country entirely to get a great ride based on an animated film from either Disney or Uni.

Never though of it that way until you put it in print. Good points. Yes, I'm really looking forward to it too, especially since my guess is it will be a dark ride or dark ride/hybrid with lots of AA's or something besides all screens. Universal needs more of those.

So true. I honestly can't think of one good ride at Disney based off an animated franchise.

Festival of the Lion King is great though.

I enjoy a lot of the rides, but none of them are what they should be. SDMT is a prime example. Great theming, fun ride, nice dark ride scene... but the ride is far too short. Blink and you miss it.

Peter Pan could be good if they ever bothered to update it.

Its funny, when you compare that to Californias parks..

DM - Replaced a 3D Show with double the capacity of Orlandos, and immersive facades/SSFL
Toy Story - Buzz (Expanded I believe) and TSMM
Frozen - Cheap retheme of a 3D Show to a Non-3D Family show
Nemo - Rethemed the Submarine concept to match the IP
Monster Inc - Retheme of an already terrible attraction.
Shrek - a Good line with a mediocre 3D Show

I am excited for SLOP due to the fact that the technology could be the first "True" use of the Trackless System at its fullest potential, and what it's going to do for Hollywood as they kick off the Lower Lots Evolution from just three thrill rides, to a true; good part to the parks future down there.

In my opinion Monster Inc is the single most terrifying ride at any of the parks.

Frozen will be getting a much greater presence in Anaheim in the coming years if things stick to the current plan.

I think the best attraction based off an animated feature is Splash Mtn.

Even Splash though isn't based off of the animated movie as much as it is the Uncle Remus stories.
