Actualy, now I think about it... the statues are good, very good! But the location, just WHY!
Will SM:M3 be a journey through the universe of trash on a giant cruise space ship? :roll:
EDIT: i just read that it might be for a special event? but I'm not sure
At least it is more appropriate to the theme than Buzz is...
Hopefully the statues are really for a special event. But I have to admit that they don't look cheap or tacky.
Nevertheless I don't want to see more Pixar or Disney characters in Discoveryland. Buzz is enough and shouldn't be there.
I heard from a friend who's next door neighbour overheard a CM telling someone he'd never met before that Star Tours is coming out and were getting a WallE flight simulator, you know the bit in the film where he's being dragged by the rocket through the galaxy :-"
Only kidding, actually I think thats a great statue and I hope they find a permanent home for it just not there.
I am completely astounded by how ignorant DLP management are now. It's actually got to the point where I can't believe they're doing these things.
Sure the statues themselves look great, but you'd have to be stupid to plonk them down in the middle of Discoveryland and think they fit.
I'm seriously starting to believe DLP are making their decisions based on feedback from 5 year olds.
That looks great! about time they had something involving wall-e (he's a bit neglected in the park if you ask me) and i think the location looks fine. am i right that this is just round the corner of space mountain between it and videopolis? if so i have no problems with its location- that bit of the land (star tours through to eo) is supposed to be contemporary visions of the future anyway- in which case wall-e fits
Love the statue and under current management I guess we just have to except the fact that Pixar will take over Disc.land. How sad it is cause I really miss the original SM and Les Visionarium...
I don't really get it. Since when do they put up statues of characters around the parks? And they're not really statues at all in the traditional sense of bronze or marble statues, but realistic figures, which must make it odd that they don't move.
What a random little addition. Are they late for the New Generation Festival, or early for Magical Moments, or was it just decided that this area of Discoveryland needs something that isn't out of the '80s? It might be a simple way to coax a few more guests down that way. And like I seem to rate a lot of changes these days - "not awful".
In fact, something involving WALL-E would be a very welcome replacement for Captain EO in the long term, actually perfect next to Star Tours. Discoveryland has never been totally about Verne & co after all, like DisneySea's Mysterious Island, although that would be much more coherent...
I agree Wall-E might actually be a good fit for that area, frankly one of the very few marriages of a Disney park and a Pixar film that might just really work. Although to reinforce that NASA-type look might make the Railroad look even stranger puffing over it. Perhaps they should do what they did in California and advertise it as a "trip to the ancient past..."
But this statue... Still odd.
I really like the statues, Wall-e is cool. It's just they are a bit odd and bold sitting there, but whats the use in complaining about it, we cant change what they are going to do.
I like them, I'm just annoyed they were not there when I was in DLP last week :(
yey!! we love walle and i dont think they look out of place............its disneyland! my son will love it when we go.
The more I see the pics, the more I love the statues, no matter how out of place they are!
I hope that the (what looks like a) fragile joing that's holding up Eve can take a decent weight, as obviously some uncontrolled child will be climbing all over them at some point...
I quite like the statues. They may be a little out of place in Discoveryland, and I agree that it's a shame that Pixar seems to be taking over the park, but what other options are there? The parks need to be updated to appeal to a younger audience, it's just unfortunate that most of the good stuff to come out of the Disney studios in recent years has been Pixar animated. I for one would much rather see this statue than something relating to Meet the Robinsons, or G-Force - wouldn't you agree?
The Wall-E statues are actually part of the Magical Moments Festival. For some reason, they decided to put them out months up front.
Then there will be other statues in other locales?
Quote from: "Kristof"The Wall-E statues are actually part of the Magical Moments Festival. For some reason, they decided to put them out months up front.
Ah I thought so. But considering how early they've arrived, it wouldn't be surprising if they stayed on beyond that festival now. We should probably get used to these "magical moments" dotted about the parks, then?

It is so sad that these things are happening. It really seems that DLRP is only doing what 5 year olds tell them. In my opinion even the characters of Treasure Planet would fit better than Wall-E. Treasure Planet is at least about "discovering" something in the space, while Wall-e doesn't fit the Discoveryland theme at all.
As you can see here, the "statue" is located on a raised bed behind a fence so hopefully it should keep the kids off... :roll:

Found on Disney Gazette
I think they fit perfectly. They are not to big. Not i the middle of the way. A nice touch. But I'm afraid the fence and the flower bed keep kids off from climbing.
I'm afraid parents will have their kids standing on the fence to have their picture taken with Wall-E and Eve.
Why do I get the feeling that Disneyland Paris is tourning into Pixar Paris ](*,)
I think it looks great... great picture opp.
I think it looks good and would seem to fit with what my understanding of Discoveryland is supposed to be about. Can't see the problem with updating the park with pieces like this.
I do like how Eve actually floats there supported only by WALL-E's hand, very smart. They also did a good job with that raised concrete matching the rest of Discoveryland's rocks.
Quote from: "Terkina"Why do I get the feeling that Disneyland Paris is tourning into Pixar Paris ](*,)
Because Pixar are the only ones who've had a successful animated film in the past decade? I'm more concerned that the place seems to be turning into just a Madame Tussauds-style series of photo locations. Never mind actually stepping
into or riding through those great environments Pixar create, like we should be doing in Disneyland, it's enough now for Disney to drop in a static fibreglass model for you to stand in front of for your Facebook picture.
Lucky we were spared the Hong Kong Buzz Lightyear statue back in 2006, anyway...

In my opinion the Buzz Lightyears in DLRP (Discoveryland, TSPL) don't look any better than the one in HKDL. Anthony, your quote about Madame Tussauds made me think. Wasn't Disneyland created to experience the movies? It annoys me that there is no money for great attractions, but each year Disney brings statues to the parks and no one can tell me that they are cheap. In fact they look fine and not cheap.
Now there are Pixar statues in Frontierland and Discoveryland, Disney and Pixar figures on the balcony of Main Street Station. I'm curious when they will invade the rest of the resort.
TDLFAN over at micechat.com posted that the Wall-E statues could be the same that have been taken down a few weeks ago at Tokyo Disneyland's Tomorrowland. Afterwards they were sent to DLRP.
Just to add to the debate, Disneyland Paris doesn't look anything like Madame Tussauds. Madame Tussauds is a wax museum, Disneyland is not, obviously.

That information is very much correct. It was found in a storage facility and offered to Disneyland Paris!
I think people need to chill out a little!!
Having just spent the last three weeks on holiday in Walt Disney World, my perspective has been refreshed and changed.
Strolling round the parks, photo ops like these, when well presented (as this is) add a great whimsical feel, with the majority of people pointing them out, and smiling, if not rushing to take a photo.
I think they look great to be honest. And the styling of them doesn't look too out of place in the area at all. I love the composition of the statue - how they're holding hands and how they've got EVE floating and also I like how they've ensured that the concrete stand they're on matches the rest of the area.
And it is about time we saw something from the brilliant WALL-E in the park. One of the best films Pixar or Disney have ever made!

Wall-E does fit into Discoveryland a lot more than Buzz does, its very rustic etc, and has a classic feel to it.
I like this statue, but it is bit random. It kind of reminds of a statue that sits outside the relevant attraction. Similar to the Imagination Institute's logo outside HISTA...... ;)
However, I dont like them ruining the original area's. All this modern stuff wouldn't even fit in Fantasyland, let alone Discoverland. Discoveryland, Frontierland, and Adventureland are so nice and original, but I do fear for the future look of the area's.
I like it :D bit of a weird area but not sure where else it could have gone... They should have done something interactive with Eve or wall-e. Just something like wall-e watching you walk past or something.
As said before I also think that Wall-E fits much much more to Discoveryland as buzz do. It´s a great futuristic story but with a deeper background. Something that´s more in the thinking and theming of discoveryland where big names like Verne or Wells should make the story. The story of Wall-E is something that could be written by this great visionarys. A deserted future where everything is diffrent (Wells) and a great journey through the Galaxy. So from the story behind Wall-E you are more in discoveryland as buzz could be in his wildest dreams.
The other thing is: I don´t like to see everywhere characters. It´s a wonderful statue but why is it there. Why at this place. Where you couldn´t find anything connected to wall-e.
The best thing would be for me to change the whole buzz theme at the entrance corner of discoveryland (!!!) to a more traditional discoveryland themed attraction. Second step would be to make a WALL-E attraction at the imagination institute with this statue in front of. (This area was always the area of modern visionarys like george lucas).
So we would get again a more proper theme for the area in front of space mountain, videopolis etc. and we had a more fitting character attraction at the right area of discoveryland. (Next step would be: Change space mountain again to a more victorian themed future attraction as mission I was.)
But...I think at the moment they don´t think in such big steps. They just see the next 3 years and not a bigger development where you can clearly say: And that´s our target. A Discoveryland where every theme is again completly coherent, like it was in 1992. (and even till buzz and mission II arrived). Dreams.
Eve's "eyes" and WALL-E's charge meter are now illuminated :thumbs:

Well said Riebi! Totally agree with pretty much everything you said.
That is such an awsome statue though, seems very well thought through, so its kind of fitting that DLP didn't come up with it :lol:
The little plant detail is amazing!
^ I thought that too! I didn't even notice it at first, but it's exactly the attention to detail we expect from Disney. Would have been so easy for them to skip over that.

So true, I I have to say even though I love and miss the oldJules Verne theme at Discoveryland I think this statue of Wall-e and Eve is a perfect addition, and way way way better than bringing Buzz to the area.
Whlst the plant is a great touch....technically it was in a boot, not a pot....so they had good intentions an all, but got it wrong!
Ah, but there weren't any left over boots lurking around the backstage of Tokyo Disney... :lol:
Does anyone have a photo of the figures in Tokyo? Did they light up then?
Absolutely fantastic! Finaly Wall-E and EVE are entering the magic kingdom (aside from Wall-E being on the Disney All Stars Express ofcourse). Love the illuminated statues.

If DLRP would have come up with the statues, they wouldn't look that detailed and I'm sure they wouldn't be illuminated. By the way I really like the light effects. Maybe Disney will transfere Toon Studio in WDS into a Pixar Studios both would fit very well there instead of Discoveryland.
Wall-E and Eve look so much better than the figures on the balcony of Main Street USA.
Does someone know for what they were used in Tokyo and if there are more of these statues at TDR? Are there more coming to DLRP from Tokyo?

Only.....the location DLRP is putting them is not really hitting the spot imho :?
It's so fragmented and not really making sense in what used to be the theme and ideas of the orginal
lands.
As opted before, make a dedicated Pixar place, that would be an great addition to WDS!
QuoteIt's so fragmented and not really making sense in what used to be the theme and ideas of the orginal

True, but a meet & greet/ picture point at Adventure land for UP! Would be a good thing! I would prefer 'the real characters' instead of statues.

Thanks for the picture. The statues look good, but I don't want them in DLP's Adventureland, because it is about pirates, Indy and the Orient. So UP wouldn't fit very well, but I would love to see them in the WDSP, for example as a Pixar exhibition in the Art of Disney Animation.
By the way are you the same person who is doing a great TDR trip report on a certain US Disney board. It would be great if you would do a trip report here as well.
I love those UP statues - it's my favourite Pixar film but I don't think it would work in the Adventure Land in Paris. I believe all Pixar characters do not belong in Disney Land Park with the exception of Discovery Land, only because it can fit the theme there. Well I'm not sure about Buzz but I like the Wall E statues. I would love to see UP featured in WDS although I don't know where they would put it.

I totally agree with you. Pixar characters don't work very well in DLP, that's why I'm a little bit annyoed that there are Toy Story statues in Frontierland. DLP's Frontierland has such a strong story with Thunder Mesa and the Ravenwoods. Just because Woody is Cowboy doesn't make him fit into Frontierland.
That's the same problem I have with Buzz in Discoveryland. Although at first I thought Wall-E shouldn't be there, now I think a Wall-e attraction should replace BLLB and Buzz should be relocated to the studios. In my opinion Wall-e would be a better choice than Buzz. Nevertheless I still prefere a Pixar free Discoveryland.
Wall-e and Eve look really great when they are illuminated. Has someone already been there? I wonder if children already tried to climb over the fence to touch them.

I always see Frontierland in two parts. The Ravenswood part from the fort till Fuente del... And after that ist just Wild West/ Cowboy area. With the Tarzan/ Mulan/ Pocahontas shows there it wasn't very Ravenswood at all. So I think Woody isnt such a bad idea after all.
Although transportation of BLLB would be welcome I'd rather see them invest in a new attraction than spend alot of money in the transport of one that has been proven very popular with quests.

That's because after the earthquake that destroyed the mine and killed Henry Ravenswood, the gold rush ended in Thunder Mesa... And the population moved towards Cottonwood Creek. So the two areas are somewhat separate

Thanks for the information. I didn't know that. So the Toy Story characters are even more inappropriate there. Do you think people working for Disney in Paris know all the background stories? I'm mean the park was designed by Imagineers in the Us who have just been in Paris for construction. Now they are assigned to other projects and entertainment and smaller additions are done by Imagineers from Paris.
Quote from: "dagobert"Do you think people working for Disney in Paris know all the background stories?
"People" is pretty general, but yes, there are plenty of them, including but not limited to DLPI, who know those and more. Keep in mind that, apart from the fact that there's plenty of documentation, several DLPI Imagineers actually worked on the park's creation way back when. Unfortunately, as I've explained before, they can't always have their way.
I don't know the detailed history of Woody's Roundup Village, but taking an educated guess I'm pretty sure it was initiated by DLP management. I know they were looking for something to replace the petting zoo after bird flu shut it down, and I guess Pixar was what looked most attractive to them until the area will receive its permanent fix... whether that will respect the original Frontierland story or bring in more characters, we'll have to see.
For more about the Frontierland story, I'd recommend the book "From Sketch to Reality" (Or go here (//http://www.ravenswood-manor.com/legend1.html); it's a bit long and mostly about Phantom Manor, but there's a lot of accurate information concerning all of Frontierland).

Thank you for all the informations. You are always very well informed! I have the book "From Sketch To Reality". Unfortunately it is in French and my French, despite learning it in school, isn't the best anymore.
Hopefully this part of Frontierland will receive a permanent fix in the future, although it will take some time, and not more characters.
I think they would have fitted better at the Studios Park somewhere maybe... But I get the logic of putting them in Discoveryland, I also like the statues, since I love Wall-E very mucht.

I have the same book but in English. Guess there are two versions? I hope they develop Frontierland further soon. And as you say not just characters but re-theming (the original story) and a new attraction?

Russell and Mr Fredrickson would be cool :)
does anyone know if this statue is still here or not? I really like it and want to see it on Friday
Quote from: "nathan.jackson"does anyone know if this statue is still here or not? I really like it and want to see it on Friday
Yes! :D It'll be in place until at leat March 2012!
My 2 year old daughter loves Wall-E, and with her, I must have watched it hundreds of times.
I think these statues are great, and even though others may feel they are not well placed, I don't know where else in the Disneyland they would fit in, (unless a specially designated area within Studios was built to honour Pixar movies, and have several attractions etc Pixar related.) Discoveryland has Orbitron, and Space Mountain, and Star Tours, so I suppose it was only logical to DLRP that Wall-E, and Space ranger Buzz Lightyear be added here.
We're coming at the end of March, and I have to say I'm very excited about seeing these statues.
I agree with another poster on here though, I thought this was a 3D photo location, so I assumed you would be able to stand next to them for great photo opportunities, but the fence and garden prevents you from doing this, however, I don't think that will stop children climbing fences to get in on 'shots' being taken, causing a possible safety hazard.
As long as they're there when I go... I'm happy. =)
I thought this was added as a part of the MMF? Haven't seen a single photo of it included with all the other pics for it (MMF)?

Its got a fence around it, but its only a small one - easy enough for older kids to climb over, and younger kids to be lifted over. It's a shame people can't be careful and show this kind of thing with respect. :(

Kaa and Zazu have already disappeared
Rex in TSPL was broken after a few days
RC Racer had to be removed for good
Mario and Luigi had to be fenced off
Even Mater and Lightning had to be fenced off even INSIDE the attraction.
The plant pot was still missing during our trip last weekend, but we all loved the statue. I actually think it fits in quite nicely where it is, plus I didn't see anyone climbing over it!
