Animal Kingodm Question

[Lou Mongello]

Here's a recent question from a site visitor I thought I'd share with you:
Name the two attractions that premiered characters before the animated movie release. This is from the Animal Kingdom

My reply was: Right off the top of my head, I would have to say Dinosaur! (Which was Countdown to Extinction before it was renamed to coincide with the movie release), and It's Tough to be a Bug.


What do you think???

Lou, you are correct. I googled the movies and other's that might be related to AK but no luck. With few rides/shows at opening, there's not much they could have movies based on. Aladar and Flik (the main character) among all the other characters in those two movies did premier before the release dates of the movie, but went into production for AK after the movies had already been started. So technically the characters premiered first in the movies, just not publically right away.

I'm wondering if we'll see some of the "Incredibles" characters around before the release. There is some "noise" around that this might happen.
