“This Is Genuinely the Worst Idea You’ve Had” — Disney Fans Are NOT Happy About the Pirates of the Caribbean CHANGES
Things are changing all around Disneyland Resort, which we’ve known for a while.
Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland
Avengers Campus is getting an expansion, a new Avatar land is on the way (which will sadly close Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!), and we’ll soon see Autopia get electric vehicles rather than gas. However, Disney just made a massive change to this iconic, beloved attraction that fans are, to put it lightly, NOT happy about.
Disneyland recently just announced that they’ve made a massive change to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride — one of the most iconic figures of the attraction, the skeleton that you see sitting on the pile of riches towards the beginning of the ride, has now been turned into an animatronic with a projected face. Yes, the same type of projected face that was just removed from Frozen Ever After in EPCOT because they didn’t work well (Disney fans were QUICK to point that out).
Needless to say, fans are NOT happy about this change, and had no hesitations about sharing their thoughts. Many fans took to the comments on Disney’s Instagram post to express their dismay, like @thankyou6god pointed out the issue this change introduces in the story of the ride, saying, “You’re not supposed to see human pirates until the transition mirrored pirate and the ‘have no fear of evil curses, says ye’. This completely undermines that storytelling.” Other users, like @disneycicerone, also pointed out how this change undermines the work that originally went into the ride, saying, “Walt Disney wanted these pirates to look realistic, and not cartoony. Blaine Gibson spent hours upon hours with his sculptors achieving the right balance between Marc Davis’s humor and real human faces. Knowing that, I am not sure this creative choice is respecting the history and artistry of this attraction.”

Other Disney fans were happy to share their unhappiness in general, even without ties to what the attraction is originally supposed to look like, which we totally get. User @tannertan36 commented, “So this is genuinely the worst idea you’ve had,” while user @jennyfer212 said, “This looks atrocious. Not every new application of technology is a win.”

Many Disney fans are also upset at the fact that Disney would even think to add this technology to a ride that’s so beloved and nostalgic for many when, arguably, there was no reason to. User @robertjkral commented, “This takes a GREAT and iconic scene and unfortunately makes it now look fake. The old way, whilst not moving, looks completely, COMPLETELY real. This triggers criticism and disbelief because it looks so fake…it’s a fun idea, but it pulls you right out of the awe of the scene. One of Pirates’ most iconic scenes at that. Yeah, it’s a nope from me.”

So, what happens now? Well, it remains to be seen. Even though it’s received such heavy criticism, it’s likely we’ll see this change still happen inside the ride. That doesn’t mean future changes can’t be made, but for now, it looks like this is a change we’ll need to get used to.
