Critics argue this decision stems from sheer incompetence rather than political motives. Many believe that Disney management is making irrational choices based solely on current trends and financial reports. They want to create immersive land experiences, but as history shows, not all innovations resonate with patrons. For instance, alterations made to Splash Mountain and other classic attractions have not been met with widespread applause, in some cases leading to significant backlash.
Notably, one of the main criticisms highlighted is the inability of Disney's current executives to recognize the lasting value and cultural significance of the Muppets. As opinions vary about the relevance of Monsters, Inc., it is essential to question whether it resonates with audiences in the same way.
