All of the pixar attractions are great, my least favorite is FN:SV because it was kinda corny, and also because there is always a long line, and that's not even worth it.
I think the reason people are so upset is because there hasn't been any original rides going up around Disney. Anything new in the past few years has been Pixar. I agree it is good to incorporate movies into rides at Disneyland, but some of the best rides were original to Disney.
For Example.
POTC- the movie was based off the ride, so it was an original story created for the park.
HM- again the Movie was based off the ride, only wasn't as good. The story was created purely for Disneyland
Space Mountain- thankfully it has no movie yet, but everyone loves it.
Matterhorn - same thing, no movie, created exclusively for a Disney Park.
Splash Mountain- it was kinda based off a movie, but not too many people have actually seen it.
BTMRR- no movie, created for the park, not much of a story, but good enough.
It's a Small world- so some people hate it, but its still very popular none the less.
Jungle Cruise- a classic, that may get a movie, but its still created for the park.
All of those rides are among the most popular at the park. Reason why? Because the story can only be seen in a Disney Park. When rides are based off of movies, people already know the story, they know the characters, its supposed to be a new attraction, yet it doesn't seem all that new to them. People are expecting a new story, something new in every different way.
All those new pixar attractions could be something that Disney created exclusively for parks. People like new stories and so do I.
Don't get me wrong, Pixar movies, and rides are great, and I like all of them, but it would be nicer for the Imagineers to create a whole new story rather than taking the story's right out of a movie. It is important to have Disney movies in a the parks, but I think too that they also need to continue to bring in original attractions, like Space Mountain, or even Soarin' (speaking of soarin, i forgot to mention all the DCA rides) As for DCA, the entire park opened with only one pixar attraction, bugs life. Right now there's Monsters Inc, its tough to be a bug, Bugs land, TSM, and Turtle Talk with crush. And when the hyperion gets a new show within a few years, its probably going to be a pixar show, then there's also going to be Cars land.
All of that stuff going on at DCA, all the new stuff is PIXAR! Monsters Inc, Bugsland, Carsland, TSM its all pixar.
Not counting the new things at DCA, Disney has only gotten in Pixar Rides for the past 10 years. Thats a lot of pixar.
So I think people are so upset because anything new that comes into DLR is pixar. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all new attractions in the past year (again not counting DCA rides) have been pixar.
