Animal Actors

[Jon Fu]

It guess this is Florida Transformers redux, but the set doesn't look quite as bad as it does in photos. It's still a bit awkward in some way, but it's not as bad as I had anticipated.


If anything, I thought the marquee looked a bit odd. A quick look behind, and I found this:

Wow, good eye. Didn't even notice that when I went.

Also, they've still left that pole that sits in front of the entrance just past the marquee that's themed to look like a thin log sticking out of the ground. I'm not so sure what it is/was used for, but are they planning on taking that out too (or retheming it)?

Meet and greet is now up:

They'd better put something there to prevent guests from lounging on it.. <_<

This seems unexpected.  All planters between International Cafe and Production Central are surrounded by temporary walls.  I can't tell if just the plants and trees are getting some work or if the planters themselves are receiving attention.

And that tree is never coming back to this planter outside Production Central.

 

[William]

Though I'm not fond of more walls being put in the park (whether they're here briefly or not), I must say, I do like that view of the Hogsmeade arch with the fake shrubs on either side of the path.

Remember when the original Animal Actors played this song?

Do they still play a clip of Community season 1 before the show starts? (the one where Troy and Abed sing "Somewhere Out There" to the mouse)

Hilarious if they still do considering the circumstances around... well everything about the show and its relationship with NBC. (not the healthiest one) Also the fact that it's cancelled.

Took me forever to find this but... who recognizes this?

Will Animal Actors be shut down if found to be true. I strongly believe this may be true.

Oh mercy. Shut the crap up PETA. 


If they do shut the show down for something else, I won't be mad. I can't remember the last time I saw it (I'm pretty sure it was sometime before Potter soft opened). 

 

[ush.hacker]

I wouldn't miss the show itself. Never enjoyed the show. Its more of a one and done. What I really care about is the poor animals.

 

[Ryan]

Yeah, I'm gonna wait and see because PETA is hardly a trustworthy organization.

No, PETA only bullies companies that are vulnerable and small enough to take advantage of.

 

[ItsAtrap]

On a personal note; I've been in the movie/TV industry for years and have worked with Gary many times. His (and all his trainers) dedication to the animals and their welfare is exceptional. I strongly believe this is not true. 

 

[peasoupprincess]

Honestly, my best friend and I go see it just so we can pet all the animals at the end. We're actual children and I'm fine with it. lol If there is malpractice, I hope they would consider bringing in someone else who takes better care of their animals. But it's really hard to take PETA's word for anything.

 

[Ryan]

Either way, I hope they drastically retool the show. The material is absolutely ancient and could badly use a refresh.

Refresh, more like a tear down......

 

[Ryan]

No, I think the appeal of animals is good enough and it's a strong family show. It just needs a refresh.
