Links: Re-Imagineering

Re-Imagineering got a lot of press when it first started (I believe it was around the time when Pixar's John Lasseter became the Chief Creative Officer for all of Walt Disney animation). The Disney buyout of Pixar put a lot of hope in Disney fans' hearts - the animated features Disney has put out in the past four or five years (movies like Chicken Little and Home on the Range) have been competent but not very popular.

The blog details the current criticisms of Disney's theme parks and resorts - all three gajillion of them. While not without its detractors, the blog at least brings up a bunch of issues easily identifiable for anyone who's been to a Disney park before the 1990s (I personally miss the Skyway and will maim whoever canned that ride ;- ). It's worth a read if you have fond memories of Disney (which I do) but are dismayed with the 2 hour lines and constant "dumbing down" of the park (which I am).
