DCA version 2.0 - Will It Be Enough? - Page 6

Now that "Carsland" is a run away hit, and as far as I can tell made zero attempt to fit into the California theme can we think about changing the name of the park to something cooler?

Disney Adventure!
Disney Rush!
Disney Stuff that don't suck?

Like Bugs Land fit? If anything, Cars Land is a better fit to the theme than Bugs Land. Radiator Springs may not have been in California, but Route 69 is, and the car culture that Cars embodies certainly has its ties to California.

Not that I'm arguing against dropping the theme, but just saying there's an angle there for the defenders.

Au contraire. Cars Land is much more a perfect fit to California than any other Pixar addition to the park.

Bugs Land? Um, yeah, we have insects in California. But they are, lemme see now, yes, everywhere else in the world as well.

Monsters, Inc.? I don't recall anything about Monstropolis being the 3rd largest city in California - or, ahem, ANY city in California.

So ... Radiator Springs makes quite a big deal about it being located along Route 66 - which is quite a connection to California folklore. You're simply incorrect there, Moonie ... Cars Land is the most specifically California thing ever added via Pixar to DCA. Sorry.

Edited to inquire: Was it ever said in the film that Radiator Springs was not in the California section of Route 66? I mean, we might assume from the beautiful topography that it's in Arizona, but is it ever outright stated?

Did I really type Route 69?

I'm a big fan of Lombard street myself.

Dr. Freud says you did.

I don't remember anything in Bugs Life that said where it was, so since there are bugs in California.....

Cars on the other hand, I believe showed a US road map at one point that makes it clear Radiator Springs is not in California.

Plus "Disney California Adventure" is a stupid name anyway.

Which is why that name has never been uttered by anyone ever.

It's "DCA."
