Live from D23 · Ear Scouts Podcast

• Rob & Erick: In this episode of the Ear Scouts podcast, we are coming to you live from D23, the Ultimate Fan event in Anaheim, California. We're actually here at the Pixar Place Hotel, and we're gonna be doing some really quick live unedited podcast episodes each day. So today is day one of the event. And I was thinking we might not have a lot to talk about, but Disney has shared a lot of information. So we've got a lot Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: to share with you all today. We got a lot to cover, so let's get to it. Hi ho, everybody. This is Rob with Ear Scouts coming to you live from Anaheim, California at the Pixar Place Hotel. I'm here as always with the other half of Ear Scouts. Eric. Hi ho, everyone. And of course, also with us is Jessica and Craig. Craig: All right, Jessica: Hi guys. Rob & Erick: So I'm actually gonna toss to you guys to really host this episode 'cause we're kind of we're we're we're kind of here to share what's been going on on our end, but you guys kind of have the structure on your end. So why don't you take it away, Jessica? What do we got to chat about today? Jessica: So the very first and most important thing we need to chat about is some exciting Disney media that came out this week. Eric, you were featured on one of the Disney Photo Pass pages. Do you want to talk about that a little bit? Rob & Erick: Sure. it was a little unexpected that I w I got chosen for it. but like it absolutely made me very excited. So when it happened, as you may know, I it it makes me very nervous when I'm on camera. So Craig: Hahaha! Rob & Erick: the same thing happened over there. But I mean thankfully like I feel like it came out very well and it made me very excited just for Disney to share my story with every every one of you. So thank you for well thank you Disney for making me allowing me to make magic for for for you with Disney Photopass. And thank you all of you because like you are you're the magic. You're the ones who who bring that magic to to the parks. Jessica: Yeah, I think you did a great Craig: yet. Jessica: job of reminding people why PhotoPass is so magical. If you haven't checked it out, please go look at Instagram. I know we've all shared it, but check Eric out. So Craig, what next what are Rob & Erick: Yeah. Jessica: we talking about next? sorry. Craig: Yeah. Well, I just needed to say, I think you did such a great job of showing how good you are at your job. And that's what I really loved about it. So, but anyway, Jessica: A hundred percent. Craig: I need to hear, okay, what are your plans for the weekend? How are we going to do this with Patreon? Rob & Erick: Sure. So basically we're gonna be at the the expo all weekend. I don't I keep saying expo, so it used be called Deep Two Maybe the Expo. Now it's the ultimate fan event. We'll be at the ultimate fan event all weekend. And we're gonna be spending a lot of time in the Imagineering Pavilion and some of the other things where Disney is gonna be revealing the future of what's to come. And you you probably have seen if you've been watching social media a lot of the big picture of things, but we're gonna try to get in really close and give you some detailed shots of things that we find interesting, things that we think might be unveiling a little bit more about what we can expect from these new attractions that are coming to Disney World and Disney parks around the world. and that's all gonna be in the Ear Scouts live chat on Patreon. and of course we're gonna recap them the following day in this podcast. So if you're on if you're on our Patreon, check the the live chat and you'll be able to see up to the minute what we're seeing and we'll respond to questions there as well. but if you're not on Patreon, just be sure to tune in. we're gonna have an episode like this tomorrow and again the next day, and we're gonna try to get them posted immediately to share what we're chatting about and what we're seeing. Jessica: Excellent. So what have you seen yesterday? What was what was your day like yesterday? Rob & Erick: Well, y yesterday we were mainly in the parks because it was D twenty three day at Disneyland, which if you're ever here, even if you're not going to D twenty three, on the day before it starts, they have this big party in the parks and there's all kinds of special things happening and you don't you don't have to be going to D twenty three to to experience some of those things. In fact, everyone who came into the parks yesterday morning got one of these cool ear hats for free. so we were kind of focused on what was happening in the parks yesterday. and then today is the day that we'll actually be inside the pavilions and sharing kind of a close look at all that. Craig: It's awesome. So I know we got a lot of more details about Piston Peak and the new Cars Land and Magic Kingdom. We got the new spinning ride. know Miss Fritter is going to be the host of that one. I'm really excited about that too. Rob & Erick: has anyone here seen Cars Three? Because I'll admit I saw Cars. I saw Cars Two. I did not make it to Cars Three. Did anyone see Cars Three? Did you see I have, but I barely remember it. You do remember that character. Okay, yeah. So that's I feel like that was the big shock Craig: Yeah, yeah, I kind of I remember that character, but yeah. Yeah, was like a school bus. Rob & Erick: for me was that the the so the the characters can be featured in the attraction that we had not heard about until now, which is kind of the more kids family focused ride. Is gonna be Miss Fritter. is that did I get that right? Miss Fritter? Is that her? Jessica: Think so. Rob & Erick: I think so. Yeah. And Craig: Yeah, Miss Fredder. I guess she was a school bus demolition. Rob & Erick: Yes. A a a demolition school bus is gonna be and I think it's it's it looks like it's gonna be kind of like the trackless mater ride at at Disneyland. Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: Did you get that sense? Jessica: Mm. Rob & Erick: That was kind of the vibe of it. Jessica: That's what it looked like to me. It looked Craig: Yeah, Jessica: really cool. Craig: or even like alien swirling saucers without the whipping, maybe. Jessica: Mm hmm. Yeah. Rob & Erick: yeah, yeah, could be. Jessica: I think those are real similar rides, right? The Mater and Alien Craig: Yeah. Jessica: Swirling Soxers. Craig: Yeah, they're almost identical. Right systems. Rob & Erick: Yeah. And then it's and it it's also it's kind of and then there's the but there's also that one am I mixing up my parks? So there's the mater one that's kind of like a and then there's also that one that's Luigi's where it's almost like you're dancing in the car of course that's yeah that's scary I'll also in California Adventure. So Craig: Right. Yeah, those are like... Yeah, Jessica: Yes. Craig: those are both. Rob & Erick: I'm not sure what the ride mechanics we don't know what the ride mechanics Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: are going to be yet, but my guess is it's it looks to be more like it's I mean, she's a demolition derby person, so I I think it's gonna be more of like a swirling saucers made or thing, is my guess. Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: I think the thing that I found most surprising was It when we saw the images before of this, it looked really kind of more like it was just one big ride with you know, like a little maybe a small area where there was gonna be a second attraction that we were all speculating. This looks a lot more like a fully fleshed out land of its own now. I mean, I I don't think Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: this is a couple of rides. I think this is Is it still gonna be part of Frontierland? Or is it now really gonna be its own I feel like Piston Peak is now gonna be its own land independent Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: of Frontierland? Is that the sense that you're getting as well? Craig: Yeah, I agree. And I'm not mad at it either. You Jessica: Yeah, it looks like it. Mm mm. Craig: know, everyone's complaining about their forcing cars into frontier. I was like, no, it's a different land. The way it looks, it's amazing. Rob & Erick: Yeah, yeah, I think that's where they're going with it. And and and they have also mentioned that they're being very careful about the sight lines. So they don't want piston peak the parts of it that are car specific. the imagineers are working really hard to make sure that's not visible from Liberty Square. So that they're kind of trying to keep the magic of that feeling like you're in that that time period without sort of seeing into you know, this car's fantasy kind of of setting. So I think they're hearing what people are saying and and and responding to that. so what what were some other things that you guys want to chat about from the the first things we saw? Jessica: Well, the biggest one for me and probably the most exciting is tell me everything you saw about tropical Americas because I am excited for Animal Kingdom to be back to a full fledged, huge park with extra attraction. So what did you hear about Animal Kingdom? Rob & Erick: So I'm gonna say off the top, the thing that surprised me the most, and Eric, we chatted about it, the temple design for Indiana Jones was released. And Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: I don't tell me, dis tell me if you disagree with this, Eric. I felt like it was more of a fantastical, not a real world, like I don't think you would go anywhere in Latin America and see a temple that actually looks like that. Right? Or do you think it it it is a representative of a something you've seen? I I will feel I felt like they grab like pieces from like different cultures and they just put it like in one in one pyramid. so yeah, but I don't see I don't think like you will find something like that out there. Yeah. To me it almost felt more like folk art. Like like it looked like a representation of like Mexican folk art, like a Jessica: Yes. Mm-hmm. Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: like an árbol de vida, which is like, you know, a tree of life. Yeah, like a a tree yeah, it's the it's the it's the the the Mexican tree of life, you know, and then it's I feel like it's gonna be more of a fantastical representation. And that makes sense when you think about it because Asia and Africa, they're rooted in real places, right? They're trying to show you real places It's Encanto is by definition, it's not in a real place, right? It's in Craig: Mm-mm. Rob & Erick: it's it's in a a magical place that was created by a moment. You know, this Indiana Jones feels like it's gonna be more of that. It's going to be the carousel are these imaginative, you know, characters that are that are animals that are hand carved. I feel like this is, and they've they've said it, they've described it as kind of like a magical village, right? Peblo Esperanza Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: is gonna be. So I think whereas Animal Kingdom started as a very real world park, when they added Avatar, that kind of opened Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: it up to be more of a fantastical world's park. And I think this land is gonna bridge the two. I think it's gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna nod to the real world and that part of the world. And and and obviously represent the cultures that you find there, but it's gonna be done in a very Disney, imaginative, magical kind of way. d what did what did you guys think from looking at the initial imagery that we all saw? Craig: I'm very excited about especially the Indiana Jones ride and of course the Encanto ride. I just want to know what it's going to be. I want to know the technical. What do we expect? I'm going to get animatronics. What kind of ride system is it going to be? But also like the new animals. They showed some of those I guess too at the carousel, which is pretty cool. Jessica: Mm-hmm. For the carousel. I'm real that's it's gonna be amazing. I think that land is gonna be a lot more fleshed out than we thought it was gonna be. So I think it's gonna be great. Rob & Erick: Yeah, and but one of the first things we're gonna look at today in that pavilion is that the models of both Piston Peak and it looks like we're gonna be able to see some of the Encanto. Look, there was look like there were some illustrations of the interior of the Encanto ride for the first time. So we'll be kind of getting a deep dive and getting photos of that and we'll put that on Ear Scouts Live as soon as we see that to share, you know, what we're seeing when we get a closer look at it. Craig: Yeah, well, speaking of carousels, we got some more information on the new Carousel of Progress, even some costumes I saw. Rob & Erick: Yes. So they revealed some of the costume design for the for the characters in the different time periods. and they also it looked like so we only saw a little piece of the carousella progress display, but it looked like it's gonna show you it's gonna take us more into what we're gonna expect to see in each of the different time periods. so I think we're gonna see a lot more detail about that once we're there. we did see that Rover is looking actually rover rover looks very much the same in a in a nice comfortable Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: pattern. d what did you guys all think about what we saw from Carousel? Anything that surprised you or anything you thought was was interesting? Craig: I wasn't a huge fan of the outfit they had for Sarah. Rob & Erick: Mm-hmm. Craig: a little too fakey futuristic. Jessica: And it didn't go with Craig: We'll see how that goes. Jessica: the other the outfit for is it John? Is that it doesn't go with his cause he looked maybe that wasn't maybe that was an outfit for a different generation or something, but Craig: You're right. Well, I don't know. Is that going to be his finale or is that going to be his 60s look? See, I wasn't sure about that. Jessica: I just didn't like I didn't the outfit of the finale, I'm a total agreement with Craig. It didn't hit it for me. I think every time they try to predict what what women are gonna wear in the future, they get it wrong. This is not women are not s not stupid. I mean Rob & Erick: Ha ha. Jessica: I just don't know. Sorry. Rob & Erick: Wow. Jessica: dear. No, I just it doesn't look it doesn't look flattering. It's not a flattering outfit. And I think that's that's what bothers me the most. It kind of looked like a moo Rob & Erick: All right. Well we Jessica: moo. Rob & Erick: I I I'll be honest, I I I sort of I was I didn't have as much time to look in detail at what they shared about Carousel at Progress 'cause I was focused so much on Cars Land, Pueblar's Buranza, and I was really trying to find anything about Villains Land. I mean I was hoping for the same. Yeah. It I think they're holding the villains land stuff until the big reveal on I think that's gonna be a big part of what we're gonna see. Yeah. Trees. Jessica: We got one little thing though. What was the one little thing from Villains Land? Rob & Erick: We got some trees. Yeah. And and they're yes. They're Craig: terrifying trees. Rob & Erick: th they did anyone else think that they remind they reminded me of the the trees that throw apples in the Wizard of Oz. Like that was kind of the vibe I was getting from them. Jessica: Yes, a hundred percent. It looked like they st they took homage to those trees. Rob & Erick: Yeah, so I but I think, you know, I'm gonna segue us really quickly to because we didn't see much from Villains Land and I think that's intentional. I think we're gonna see Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: the big reveal of that. They want to hold that until the show, which I should say you can all watch with us live. They have announced that it's going to be on Disney Plus. So if you're not a subscriber, get your subscription and you'll be able to watch that presentation live as we see it in the Honda Center here in Anaheim. But I think Villains Land is gonna be a big reveal there. So Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: we'll probably have more to talk about that on our show on Sunday. but they also showed Monstropolis. Lots of little critters from Monstropolis that are gonna be populating that land. And what I took away from both that and the the sh the trees, which is not much that we have to go on, but I feel like imagineering is saying, look, these are gonna be very alive places, right? This is this Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: is gonna be You're not just gonna have the experience of these places when you're in an attraction. You're gonna feel like these are and and the the thing that made me think of actually was Epic Universe, where if you go into like the dragon's land, how to train your dragon, there's actual dragons everywhere. Like you don't have to go on a ride to see them. They're just they're just living in that world. And I feel like that's what these new lands are gonna be like as well. These critters, so the the critters we haven't seen. them they're like little monster squirrels and monster rabbits and monster pigeons I think and so I think that these worlds are gonna be more alive than we've seen before from Disney was my takeaway. What what did you guys think? Craig: Yeah, I don't as far as the macchets that we saw of the new monsters. Honestly, they kind of look more like mutants than monsters. So we had like a cute rabbit with three ears. A squirrel with three tails. Now the pigeon was terrifying with two heads. But yeah, I was just kind of like, okay, does that make it a monster just because he grew an extra ear? Rob & Erick: I'm I'm Jessica: And I don't remember them being in the movies. That was I need to go back and watch Monsters Inc. to see if they had animals in the movies. Craig: Yeah, they might be for all I know. Rob & Erick: There are. There are some. Yeah. Jessica: Okay. Rob & Erick: Mm-hmm. I would think also me Monsters University had a lot more like I c Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: were there were there some critters on the the college campus maybe that we saw? I believe so. Yeah. Like there there is one part where there's a pigeon who eats like a little monster but it it has like a like a chameleon tongue. So it's yeah. Jessica: Okay. I think Craig: Mm. Jessica: maybe we just all need to rewatch Monsters University to get prepared for Monstropolis. And I don't mind doing that. Craig: Yeah, Rob & Erick: We have homework. Craig: or maybe watching it the first time. Sorry. Jessica: dear. Okay. Rob & Erick: Yeah, that's that's me with Cars Three. So I'm I'm I need to I need to I need to to learn all about Miss Fritter so I know what's going on when her ride arrives. all right, what what else do we have? Jessica: Well, Ken, let's let's switch coasts for a little bit and let's see. There's a couple of things they announced for Disneyland. do you want to talk just a little bit about some of the things you saw for Disneyland? Rob & Erick: I I think the biggest surprise there well not Yeah, I think it not so much a surprise as just a re con like the internet has been saying, they're gonna change. They're not gonna do avatar anymore. Like avatar is being scrapped and we're gonna maybe see a Zootopia land instead, or that's been kind of the internet buzz. Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: and I feel like Disney was very clear, nope, nothing has changed. They shared a lot about I feel like the new Avatar ride. Number one, what was interesting, it reminded me a little bit of if you've seen It's a Small World here at Disneyland, where the boats Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: come out Craig: Hmm. Rob & Erick: into the park itself and you kind of have you can experience seeing part of the ride from the world itself. That seems to be where they're going with Avatar. The the the main e-ticket ride will kind of blend in with the actual land itself, which seemed kind of cool. Did it was giving me very Navi River Journey vibes. I don't know if you guys felt that as well. Craig: Mm-hmm. Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: but like a re-like if if they took what they learned from Navi River Journey, because a lot of people complain that Navi River Journey just felt, I don't know, like like they wanted it to to feel more expansive in the way that Flight of Passage does, right? Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: And I feel like Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: this attraction answers that by Putting that ride, opening it up and making it part of the larger world. And I I'm curious to see what technology they're gonna use. Cause it did seem like it was more than just it seemed like there was gonna be more of like an immersive, probably somewhat screen-based maybe elements as well, which I'm not as excited about, but we'll see. We'll see what what that's gonna be. Cocoa was another thing that they shared some small details about. I I saw people on the internet speculating because they showed the maquette of the statue of Hector, that that means that this ride's going to be all about Hector. I I think that's maybe a stretch of what Craig: You Rob & Erick: they were trying to say. Because if you think about, I think the reason they're showing you the statue of Hector is because I think what they're saying is this ride is going to take place after the events of the movie. The statue in the movie is of Ernesto de la Cruz. But in the movie, Ernesto gets kind of toppled and everyone celebrates Hector, the actual, you know, writer of all the songs, instead. So I think they're just showing us this is the statue that exists in this world now because we're Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: in the aftermath of the movie. So this is And maybe it means it's going to tie into Coco 2, which we know is coming. and Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: that would be obviously after the events of the original Coco. what do what do you guys think? Anybody any thoughts about those? Craig: Yeah, I felt the same way about it. It just seems like a statue. don't think it's going to focus on him so much, but I'm glad he's included for sure. Rob & Erick: Yeah. And then there was one other thing from Disneyland. Avengers. Jessica: Avengers? Craig: of the Avengers stuff. Rob & Erick: Yes. Thank you. this was really just showing us a little bit more of what we already knew was coming. so s there's Stark Flight Lab. We just kind of saw more of what the space is gonna look like. and it it does look cool like before all we really saw I think was that kind of arm. It does. So you're you're here and the ride is gonna do this with you, basically. That's that's start like that. Craig: Throw you all different directions. Rob & Erick: And and that for those of you who are listening, I'm just it's you're you're just gonna be jerking all all around. Is basically that's the that's the and it seems like it's gonna be very thrilling. Infinity Defense, we just knew it was gonna be about a story of defeating Thanos in Avengers endgame and and the the those movies. it seems like now it's gonna be a dark ride in it's gonna be in the vein of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride from is it Shanghai or is it Hong Kong that has Craig: Mm-hmm. Say hi. Rob & Erick: Shanghai? Yeah, we haven't we haven't been to that park yet, so we haven't seen that, but it does look like Craig: I also heard mention, I'm sorry, I also heard mention that it's much like the Peter Pan ride in Tokyo Disney Sea, the brand new one, which you have done. Rob & Erick: okay. We we did get to experience that. Yeah, and it I liked that ride. My sense was that it wasn't it's very screen-based though. I mean, it's I think the best way to describe that one, it's kind of like imagine if Soren. was done with a with a with a moving ride vehicle that everyone was sitting in that took you through different spaces. So it's like multiple mini Sorins that are in that are broken up by physical worlds that you travel through. Jessica: Like journey to Hogwarts. Kinda like the Hogwarts Rob & Erick: Journey then. Jessica: the Hogwarts ride in Universal where they do the Rob & Erick: Yeah. Jessica: same. They move you through to ride yeah. Forbidden Journey, thank you. I'm like the Hogwarts, Craig: Forbidden Journey? Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like the... Rob & Erick: Yeah. Jessica: yeah, that one. Rob & Erick: What that one though, I feel like is more it's a very small ride vehicle. Jessica: Yeah. Rob & Erick: whereas I will say the one, at least Peter Pant, you're in a very Jessica: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: large, almost like you're in a I think you're in like a little mini pirate ship, aren't you? Is that what Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: you're in? Yeah, you're in like a little so it's less of like a you and a couple of friends and more of like a full boarded I'm Jessica: Okay. Rob & Erick: I'm not saying that's what we're gonna see with with Infinity Defense, but it that was how it was at Peter Pan. Yeah. Craig: Yeah, the other ride you described the Iron Man ride sounded more like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey with Jessica: yeah. Craig: the robot arm going through and throwing you. Rob & Erick: I mean in a way it does remind me of the in Monsters like like in Dark Universe in Epic, like the Frankenstein ride? Yeah, the it's so the the in the the ride that's inside, why can't I not think of the name of it right now? 'Cause we're live and we can't we can't fix it. That's why I can't think of the name right now. Craig: I know, Dark Universe, yeah. Monsters Unleashed. Rob & Erick: In Dark Universe, it's the main e-ticket attraction there that's ins inside Dr. Frankenstein's castle. Thank you. There you go. Yeah. And or is it Unchained or Unleashed? I think it's unchained. Monsters Unchained. Yes. So Eric Craig: it could be Unchained, I think you're right. Rob & Erick: is right. That attraction, the ride vehicle, is essentially an arm that's pitching you forward and backwards and side and side. But that one moves you through the castle. Like it's it's whereas I didn't get do you get the sense that the flight lab is actually gonna take you places? Jessica: They don't have space. Rob & Erick: Yeah. I mean we we just watch like the structure where they are going to place it and it looks very tall. Like it looks like it's going to be like a big space and very tall. So yeah. I Jessica: Okay. Craig: Mm-hmm, maybe multi-level. Or Rob & Erick: don't know. Yeah, I don't know what what can happen over there. Jessica: Mm-hmm. Craig: is it more like a flight of passage kind of thing, where you have like tiers Rob & Erick: Like a what? Craig: of those? Right, vehicles, are you all Rob & Erick: Possibly but Craig: facing one big screen? Rob & Erick: I think it might just be that this thing needs lots of vertical space to Craig: Yeah. Rob & Erick: to to do what it does. Cause I mean it's it's supposed to simulate flying. So there's probably a lot of upward motion. so I I don't know. I'm I'm hoping that we're gonna see some some more fleshed out details once we're there or in the grit panel presentation on Sunday, Saturday rather. Craig: Yeah. So I do have to add the one thing I'm most excited about that they've been out so far is reinventing or reinvesting into the society of explorers and adventurers or SEA. And there's a big missed reveal coming today. There's like an artifact. Rob & Erick: Yes. Craig: Are you going to be able to make that first of all? Are you going be able to be in that panel? Rob & Erick: yeah, we'll we're definitely gonna be be getting there to cover that as soon as we we actually need to wrap up here shortly because we do have to head over to the convention center. Craig: Mm-hmm. Rob & Erick: let's do we're we don't really know anything about that other than it's gonna be an exciting reveal. So we'll share that as see it. do we have some other two Craig: Yeah, I'm just so glad that they're bringing, bringing more of that in and that they've just been rolling it out very slowly over the years. It's just an original IP just for the parks and I love it so much. So, hope they're big things. Rob & Erick: Yes. I hope we see more of that. I I think one one thing I will say real quick as a side note. We were here and we were looking at a lot of the new merchandise that's been coming out. And it was surprising to me how much merch is built on park IP. IP that didn't start with a film franchise. It started with a magical attraction in the park, like Journey into Imagination with Figment or You know, the Haunted Mansion is of course the the the biggest one in that. But also Jungle Cruise, these these I feel like Disney is hopefully learning that they don't have to always rely on the stories they've told on the screen, that the parks can create their own stories and and be their own, you know, inspiration. So we'll we'll see if that continues to blossom. But Jessica: Well, I have one more thing that you haven't talked about that is the thing that I have seen that I am the most excited about, and it's the exact opposite of what you just talked about, and that is Craig: Yeah. Jessica: we may get a Star Wars more Star Wars animatronics. So I'm Rob & Erick: Yes. Jessica: hoping that you see that in the parks. Rob & Erick: Yeah. Did now I'm curious 'cause Jessica, I'm sure you looked at that more deeply than we were able to yet. Is it your sense that so that there's a it's a food truck animatronic show that's featuring the Anzelen character and Grogu? Jessica: That Marlo Brandon, is that right? No. no, I'm I'm it's not Marlo Brandon. It's it's the director. Scorsese, Martin Scorsese voiced. Craig: Mm. Jessica: Martin Scor Scorsese Rob & Erick: Yes. Jessica: voiced him. And then Grogu. I think it's a show. I think it's just gonna be a roaming show, kind of like like they have Kylo Wren Craig: you Jessica: come out now, you know, that kind of thing. But it's gonna I think it's gonna be a roaming show, or at least that's what I'm hoping. I don't think it's gonna be a real food cart, because they couldn't keep the animatronics out that much. But I think it's gonna be a show. I think it'll be fun. Rob & Erick: Yeah, it looks really cute and it it looks like it's probably gonna be a little comedic show. Which I do think I think Star Wars Galaxy's Edge could use a little comedy. I think that would that would be a a good addition to that land, Jessica: I think so too. I think it'll add a little something. Craig: Agreed. Rob & Erick: so Jessica: Well I think you've covered everything that that you had on your list to talk Rob & Erick: well Jessica: about. Rob & Erick: I can't wait to look at it and I can't wait to chat with you guys live as we're at the event all weekend and we're gonna be posting lots of photos. So fair warning, if you're a if you're part of our Patreon family, you might want to turn off notifications if you don't want to have a barrage of things coming through the Yearscout Craig: Ha ha ha. Rob & Erick: live chat. Or if you're excited to hear about all of it, make sure you have them turned on. we're gonna be really active this weekend sharing what we're seeing while we're here. and we will also of course be sharing that with you each day. our next episode will be tomorrow live on Patreon at 7 a.m. Pacific Time, 10 a.m Eastern, and we hope to see you all there. Until then, think lots of happy thoughts, everybody.
