[Idea] Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

[V.I.N.CENT.]

I am also not a big fan of Toy Story replacing Aladdin. Will give it the benefit of the doubt until I actually see the show. Here are my top ten suggestions for replacements other than yet another Toy Story based attraction...

10) The Black Hole (hey, had to put it in there, look at my name )
9) Fantasia
8) The Incredibles (chance to do some really creative stuff)
7) Nemo
6) Lion king or Beauty and the Beast (grouping together due to previous release)
5) Ratatouille
4) Hercules (as many have said, totally underrated movie)
3) A Musical Review of Various Disney Films (pick the best scenes)
2) Mulan (would probably be some pretty neat scenes)
1) Marry Poppins (she needs to get some more respect in the park, and it would be an awesome show)

I vote 3 and 1, and would like to add Princess and the Frog.

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

From what I've heard about Toy Story, it's an awful musical. Which doesn't surprise me. I don't know what they should put in place of Aladdin, but something new has got to replace it.

As for Incredibles, I'd rather not see anymore Pixar in DCA, and that goes for Nemo and Rat as well. If it's not already a musical it shouldn't be done. It's a lot of work, and they're not all that good at it, from what I've seen. Also, anyone who's seen their original Disney on Ice shows knows the limits of their review type work.

Fantasia could be interesting, but you just know some idiots are gonna get it mixed up with Fantasmic as I often hear people interchange the two titles already.

Mulan could be interesting (that's an underestimated movie!), but I thought Hercules was an embarrassment to the studio and would never sit through that. I'd probably of liked it more had it not been right after something as powerful and Hunchback, but they just really dropped the ball with that movie.

As for Mary, Beauty and Lion, they could all do well, but since they've had professional runs I doubt they'd do it. Beauty closed on Broadway so that would probably have the best chance of being brought into the park, and it's not very well represented in any permanent form (outside of Fantasmic). It might just seem like a reversal though, since the Broadway show sprung from the Fantasyland stage show's success in the 90's.

Mary Poppins would be great!

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

I vote for Mulan, Mary Poppins, and a mash-up musical revue. Mulan would be an artistically beautiful set, Mushu would be able to bring improv humor like Genie did, and the music is amazing.

Mary Poppins could be awesome as well, I don't see any improv humor, but still, she needs more credit!

and a mash-up revue would just be really cool! lol

Wow out of your 10 I'd only choose Beauty and the Beast... You should add Cinderella thats a classic!

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

Some very interesting ideas here, I'd rather see a musical on the stage though.... (I like them)

and I agree with WDITrent, I'd love to see a Princess and the Frog musical too.

but...

I'm going to make my own option. My vote goes for NEWSIES!!!!!! An underrated musical that needs some love. They already play music from it in Hollywood Pictures Backlot so why not? I've often fantasized about this one. I would love to see it on stage.

Musical productions based and inspired by 'The Boatniks', 'Turner and Hooch' or 'Blackbeard's Ghost' On Ice would be terrific in the Hyperion Theatre. Would not like to see 'The Cat From Outer Space' on that stage though.

Absolutely right about Mushu. Also this is my mother's favorite movie. I vote for this!!!

Fantasia for sure. You don't need singing for it to be a great musical. It would have some pretty darn nice scenes in it

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

I agree with the Cinderella vote above! Either that or Beauty and the Beast. I'd love to see either of them replace Aladdin, but I think Hercules would be a bad choice.

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

Hey what about Pocahontas if WDW had it why not DL or how about bring back Snow White and bring it to DCA side.

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

I'd vote for a mash-up and maybe it can include the " a whole new world" segmeant from Aladdin.
I'd even like a Nightmare Before Christmas Musical

The Boatniks (1970)

Turner & Hooch (1989)

Blackbeard's Ghost (1968)

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

Newsies
Hunchback of Notre Dame (shorted version of the German musical)
Enchanted
Mary Poppins
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Hercules

Or how about something original*? Or turning the Disney Cruise Line stage show "Ghost Ship" (who remembers that?) into a musical?

Just not Toy Story or anything Pixar related. That just has "facepalm", "deep hurting" and so forth written all over it.

*but then the average guest would complain it's not "DISNEY" enough.

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

I think the odds of bringing back an old show are slim to nil. That's never been their thing. It does seem weird that Showboat Jubilee has to end in January (due to the river refurb) when other big animated films got shows with a 4 year deal, ie: Beauty and the Beast Live, Lion King Celebration, Pocahontas, and Hunchback Festival of Fools. If it doesn't come back in the summer, that would be a good place to put Princess and the Frog. Not as good as New Orleans, but hey Aladdin's show isnt' in Adventureland so who's checking?

Re: Top Ten Replacements for Aladdin

The Boatniks (1970)

Turner & Hooch (1989)

Blackbeard's Ghost (1968)

BTW, I know that they're movies, I was just completely thrown by how out there the suggestion (and unlikelihood) of it was.
