Disney Parks Icon Figment Movie Coming From Seth Rogen

Walt Disney World’s authentic darkish journey Journey Into Imagination is a cult Epcot staple—and that its star, Figment the purple dragon, is now getting the massive display screen remedy. Deadline reports that producer Seth Rogen and Detective Pikachu writers Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit are creating the movie at Disney primarily based on the attraction.

What’s curious is that the journey itself has had three variations, so which specifically will function the idea stays to be seen. The authentic 1983 journey, created by legendary Imagineers Tony Baxter and Steve Kirk, centered on a kindly Dreamfinder’s creation of Figment out of goals and concepts he catches within the sky. Figment goes on a fantastical journey to unlock the wonders of the world via creativeness and his personal theme music “One Little Spark” by the Sherman Brothers.

Journey Into Imagination was extra not too long ago up to date to a situation utilizing wacky lab experiments, with Monty Python icon Eric Idle starring as a scientist who is kind of irritated by Figment’s incessant hijacking of the journey to push the bounds of creativeness. (It should not have been too memorable of an expertise for the actor, who recently forgot he was the co-star of the ride.) The attraction is sort of a Disney model of Martin Scorsese’s madcap After Hours, the place Figment serves as an orchestrator of insanity to make you query your sanity by placing your senses of sight, sound and odor via his Technicolor wringer. If you’re an grownup you’ll be grateful you possibly can come upon a drink at World Showcase inside strolling distance. One factor to learn about Figment that makes him so endearing but manic is that the dragon is only a full agent of chaos. I really hope that’s nonetheless the Figment we get as a result of it’d be very on model for Rogen, Hernandez, and Samit (the latter duo are set to carry us Hugh Jackman as animated superhero Koala Man in a 2023 Hulu sequence). Cast Eric Idle as a model of the Dreamfinder for an unhinged reunion and we’re all in.
