Maybe it could fit in the Hollywood Backlot, since it was a movie, but I would fit better in Disneyland (although Disneyland already had a Pocohontas show in the Fantasyland Theater). Speaking of which, isn't it a little redundant to introduce ANOTHER Pocahontas show (unless there is a DVD release coming out or something). OK, I'll stop ranting now (although I too would like more info).

Originally Posted By jonvn So, if I read this correctly, the Meeko figure will be free standing, and not attached to anything? That means it's like the AIBO dog, and operates on its own? Does it have AI features in it like the fake dog thing does? That will be pretty cool, and will be a nice addition.

Originally Posted By plpeters70 This Pocahontas show sounds really cool, but I have one question - how does this fit into California Adventure - Pocahontas took place in Virginia??? Now I'm all for adding new shows and stuff to DCA, but they picked the theme of the park to be California - so shouldn't they stick with it?? (Of course I do realize that they really haven't been sticking with it, but if you're going to go to all the trouble of theming a park, then you really should stay within that theme.)

Originally Posted By jonvn Yes! I noticed that. One of my big things has been saying that they don't seem to be making rides where parents and kids can have fun together. And that this bug area, with TOT shows that they are just stratifying everything. It's very good to see that they are aware of this issue, and that they talked about this VERY THING. I don't mind being proved wrong at all about this. I'm sure it's not the easiest thing in the world to make rides like this, but as long as they have their heart in the right place, I think they'll do as good a job as anyone.
Originally Posted By tomlip Yes, good thing they realized that about the Bug rides. As the father of four boys under 8, I love any attraction that I can ride with both my three year old and 7 year old. Something else besides Jumping Jellyfish, Soarin', and Superstar Limo.
Originally Posted By imawebsurfer >>It's Indian-themed there, and Poca's an American Indian.<< But the place isn't themed to American Indians in general, it's themed to California Indians - Miwok, Wintu, Serrano, Maidu, etc. I don't have a problem per se with "Poca" there, but I also agree with ahecht and plpeters70 that it breaks with the theme of the park. Maybe other parts of the park will evolve in the same way and the California theme will eventually fade away.
