The image that Disney has tried to project for decades does not match with the kind of life style that MJ lived. Had it been kept in the closet, that would have been one thing. However it was not. It was out in the open, and everyone knew about it. It should have everything to do with image when it comes to Disney. Not what you or I think, but how that image is perceived by the general public. >> While we're at it, why don't we just round up all of the musicians, actors, comedians, etc whom have ever done anything wrong in their life and throw all of their accomplished work into a trash can and light it on fire? << That is being ridiculous for ridiculous sake.

I do hope HISTA eventually gets replaced, but for something newer and fresher. Or, perhaps a revisit to the original concept of Journey Into Imagination, with a new twist. Have the 3-D movie continue the concept of the ride. Perhaps visuallizing what Dreamfinder and Figment (or whatever new characters they could create) imagined during the ride, but making it seem like it came to life in the final product of the movie. There are so many possibilities "when you use your imagination!"

Originally Posted By brotherdave Sorry, I thought we were discussing possible replacements for HISTA. I'm indifferent to them making a new version of that film, but personally, I don't think it's necessary. The original was fun and doesn't need updating. It certainly doesn't need a 3-D attraction in the parks anymore, although I wouldn't mind seeing a ride through attraction where you're shrunk (ala Adventure Through Inner Space). A dark ride adventure based on the movie could be very cool if done well. Lots of large sets and AA insects and creatures could be awesome! This would fit in better at the Studios than at Epcot, though. But, getting back to the remake of H,ISTK...Why does Disney seem to be only making remakes of existing movies?? No originality left?? Come up with a different concept already!!!
