That's the best fit I feel for an Encanto ride would be a Mystic Manor style dark ride through the different rooms of the casita to really show off the magic of the place. I could see it fitting in well in Adventureland, Fantasyland, or if EPCOT/Animal Kingdom added a land for Columbia/South America. Think it would make a great addition to Animal Kingdom personally. I've thought that changing Dinoland to South America (while keeping a focus on the dinosaurs in areas as many fossils have been discovered there) would be great. Can change Chester and Hester's and theatre in the wild area into an Amazon based area with an Amazon river boat ride, Macaw themed reskin of the Triceratops Spin, and then could add in an Encanto dark ride.
This would be PHENOMENAL!! My absolute favorite Disney animation thus far. I love everything about it and especially the powerful message. LOVE Encanto!
I don’t think they care if they appease the fans- I think they care if they appease Lin Manuel Miranda.
I do almost wonder if the Tarzan treehouse retheme at Disneyland is going to be a cheap Encanto overlay or not to try to capitalize on it.
I hope its not but now that you mention it that sounds exactly like what the Disney exec team is all about these days. I think the imagineers could make an amazing attraction in multiple ways for the encanto house but they are severely held back by management.
The lobby area of the Mexico pavilion has those cool Coco window displays, and they do occasionally have the musical show as well.
Disney needs to keep Miranda in good stead. They have made too many mistakes in ticking off the Hollywood elites lately. So yes, it would not surprise me if they cough up a few $$ on a ride to make Miranda happy.
True but again Coco is such a richly made animation it really does deserve more love. But of course the same can be said of many other underrepresented IPs. And I love Miranda so much but there's this feeling of "hey just because he's pushing it and no one did that for Coco you're just gonna cave and give Encanto a a ride first?" I know that sounds silly but that's just the feeling I get.
Coco is a far, far better film. But I think there's more than just "because Lin Manuel said so" here. Coco is about, for lack of a better word, death. And as much as I know Disney is proud of the film, they may not want to hit that topic too hard in the parks.
I don't agree with this. He is very talented but his style is very distinct. He doesn't have the same kind of variety that other Disney composers have brought. He can't keep composing if his style doesn't become more broad to adapt to more movies. Disney isn't going to buckle to someone demanding (if he even did) an attraction of all things. Yeah, they will negotiate on salary if the person is someone they really want but attractions need longevity and honestly I don't think Encanto is one of those movies.
