Are you sure this Maleficent Movie is even live action?

Could Imagination Park be a new name Disney is considering for DCA after its rebirth? Or perhaps its a 2nd gate to HKDL One of those small regional parks in SE Asia thats been rumored? Or maybe, just maybe it will be a 3rd gate at the strawberry field. Time will tell.

Excellent article, Jim! Lots of goodies there. I loved the Luxo demo - brilliant idea, brilliantly executed. And a Maleficent movie, hm? Well, it's no secret that Maleficent - especially in her dragon form - is one of Disney's most popular villains. I could see a movie built around her - but I'd rather NOT see her in live action, and ESPECIALLY in her dragon form. That beautiful 2D animation of her in the Sleeping Beauty film is just too gorgeous, too memorable, to ever be successfully duplicated in CGI.

One thing I'm wondering is - why hasn't Disney pondered doing a Kingdom Hearts movie? I for one have no doubt it would be a success if done well. I'm a bit out of the demographic for the game, but I've played it and love it. Even have a few copies of the manga. (And Maleficent plays a big role in both). And I'm not enthusiastic about it because I'm a Disney fan. I love the idea behind the series, and the new usage of classic characters in anime form. Anyway, Jim, please let us know if Disney IS pondering the idea. I think it'd rock.

In all likelihood Imagination Park could be some type of online game/website and not a physical theme park.

Jim - perhaps that Imagination Park is for that area that I sent you an email on last week (the story that I heard from a couple of Disney employees on a new "old" project that work started up on again).

Imagination Park is the name of the next version of the Disney Store. They have been showing off the map of the new store to all the cast of the Disney Store and I think the first one opens up in the next 12 months. ( I can't remember which month they told us).

Is Disney / Pixar finally getting serious about “Monsters, Inc. 2.” And … “The Tiger King” ?!

Jim Hill’s back with even more domain names that The Walt Disney Company has registered over the past few weeks
