Really wonderful show - I miss it!
Originally Posted By Mr X Total agreed, Dan. I actually LOVE the movie, but no it's not futuristic in the least (what, is Mike's muscle car supposed to be the wave of the future? er...no).

I hope that whoever comes along to correct my vague memories (give me a break, I turn 39 soon!) will be kind enough to correct me nicely. Just sayin.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I believe the Disneyland Paris version of the show was called Le Visionairum, which may have added to some of the confusion. I don't know if the Visionarium name was ever used in WDW, but I seem to remember there being a ton of names for that single attraction, like The Walt Disney Story Featuring Great Moments with Mr Lincoln at the Main Street Opera House in DL. You put a few too many titles on it (Disney Story, Lincoln, Opera House), and they all start to get tangled together into a name that nobody really remembers.
Originally Posted By capteoyes -Science fiction - yup. Cool, then you can see how Monster's Inc can easily be set in Tomorrowland, as Star Tours, Flight to the Moon, People Mover, Rocket Rods, Grand Prix Raceway have EITHER futuristic or sci-fi elements, the bottom-line, demonstrating that Monsters Inc/Laugh Floor does in fact fit into the criteria of Tommorrowland (and imagineers already have confirmed this by appropriately putting in Laugh Floor in Tomorrowland WDW) I love the attraction. I visit it everytime I goto WDW, and, the audience everytime is having a great time. It's clever, funny, different everytime. Bring it on!
Originally Posted By capteoyes Timekeeper, yes. Great show and really great film, production wise. Big production design, great actors (Jeremy Irons, Robin WIlliams, Rhea Perlman) I think a copy of it my be on Youtube somewhere.
Originally Posted By danyoung >...Star Tours, Flight to the Moon, People Mover, Rocket Rods, Grand Prix Raceway have EITHER futuristic or sci-fi elements...< People Mover - at the time of its creation, a futuristic form of transportation. To be fair, the Raceway has never really fit, but I've been riding it and its predecessors since I was 6. Monsters Inc. is science fiction, but it is NOT futuristic. It's more or less current day. Anyone familiar with SF knows that it is SOMETIMES about the future, but sometimes about alternate realities. And there are some who really walk a tight walk and say that Star Tours shouldn't be in Tomorrowland, because it happened long long ago in a galaxy far far away. But that's just splitting hairs, imo.
Originally Posted By capteoyes The point is, Dan, you said, and I quote: "There's some rumor around that they might put in Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor from WDW. I hope not - it's not that good of a show, and it doesn't belong in Tomorrowland." Monster's Inc, thematically, is actually a perfect fit for Tomorrowland, for all of the reasons I mentioned above. And Imagineers, the arbiters of what attraction should be placed in which land, has agreed with me, so, I will side with them!
Originally Posted By capteoyes Sure they can. However, when it comes to the simple task of placing an attraction into a land that themes well, they have done a pretty fine job. Challenge anyone to name 5 attractions in the history of Disneyland that were not properly placed in the right land. Bet you cant do it.
