The Pixar Studios
Walt Disney World Resort
Disney's Hollywood Studios
Pixar Place
One of the frequent Disney-fanboy complaints that I see as the most illogical is that there is “too much Pixar” coming into Walt Disney World and Disneyland. This is ridiculous. First of all, Pixar IS Disney. Buzz Lightyear is inextricably Disney just like Mickey Mouse. Although Buzz wasn’t created by Walt himself, neither were Ariel or Simba, and no one seems to complain about their presence in the parks. Second, from about 1998 until 2009, anything high quality associated with Disney was also Pixar. Disney’s traditional hand-drawn animation division wasn’t exactly the paramount of quality at that time. Personally, I’d rather see an attraction made out of an excellent Disney movie, like Monsters, Inc., than out of garbage, like Chicken Little.
Beyond the facts that Pixar is Disney and Pixar is high-quality Disney, Pixar is actually fairly under-represented in Walt Disney World and Disneyland. There are only a handful of Pixar attractions spread across the resorts, whereas there are a plethora of ones based on traditional hand drawn animation.
Too much Pixar? Phhh...not enough Pixar!
