Yes, the amazing robotic suits we saw in AVATAR are coming to Pandora - The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The Pandora Conservation Initiative Utility Suit will make its debut inside the land on April 22. The Utility Suit was created in partnership between Lightstorm Entertainment, Disney Parks Live Entertainment, Michael Curry Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering.
It will be used to study wildlife, collect plant samples, and survive Pandora's terrain much like we saw in the film. Check out the video of the suit coming to life with the help of Walt Disney Live Entertainment's Tony Giordano, Robert King, and Laura Offerdahl.
Also, here is the video of the suit being tested in the parks:
The PCI Utility Suit will arrive just in time for Disney's Animal Kingdom 20th Anniversary. Be sure to check out the Times Guide for interaction with this amazing suit.
Hocus Pocus Sequel in the Works as Disney Channel Original Movie:
They'll put a spell on you and the Sanderson sisters are making a comeback to the Disney Channel. The spell binding film, "Hocus Pocus," that many of us watch every Halloween season is in early development for a sequel as a Disney Channel Original Movie.
The original film follows Max Dennison, his little sister, and an immortal, talking cat named Thackery Binx as they set out to defeat three Sanderson sister witches who have come back from the grave. The upcoming film will be written by Scarlett Lacey (The Royals) and executive produced by David Kirschner, who was the original producer of "Hocus Pocus"!
"AVATAR 2" Next Generation Cast Visits Pandora: The World of Avatar:
The new young cast of the next film of the AVATAR saga has recently visited Pandora: The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The new cast ranges from 7 to 17 and are mostly newcomers to Hollywood as they were hosted by producer of the film Jon Landau.
Landau was passionate about immersing the cast into the wondrous world of Pandora to prepare them for their significant roles in the sequels. The on-the-ground learning opportunity allowed them to take in the sights, sounds and scents of the stunning world inside Disney's Animal Kingdom.
The next-generation cast had the chance to marvel at the awe-inspiring landscapes, float through a bioluminescent rainforest on Na’vi River Journey, and connect with an avatar and fly on the back of a banshee in Avatar Flight of Passage. They also indulged in blueberry cream cheese mousse and other treats at Satu’li Canteen and shopped for cool souvenirs at Windtraders.
The kids were inspired by Pandora’s rich theming, over-the-top experiences and powerful conservation story. The four AVATAR sequels will be filmed concurrently. Twentieth Century Fox will release the first sequel in theaters nationwide on Dec. 18, 2020. Check out the young casts' reaction to the amazing world:
