Author Topic: Disney's Coco Without Olaf's Frozen Adventure Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 12-04-2017 06:20 PM                        Starting Friday December 8 Disney is removing Olaf's Frozen Adventure from Coco. Deluxe will be sending out new Version File CPLs which will begin "Coco-noOlaf". To the best of my knowledge this is going to require created new titles to be created on LMS systems in order to map the new CPL while still using the CPLs with Olaf. It may also require new titles on POS systems to map to those new LMS titles. At least if you want to get everything done before Thursday night. Otherwise you would have to wait until after you're off screen Thursday night to un-map Coco-wOlaf. I'm using the Hollywood Software (Cinedigm) TCC software. Perhaps other management software has easier methods for handling this.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-05-2017 12:23 PM                     In Germany, Olaf and Coco are separate CPLs. Instead of removing Olaf, Disney now produced an extra title slide to be played before both to announce Olaf is a leading short, and that Coco follows. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2017 01:09 PM                        I wish they'd have done that here, it would have prevented a lot of confusion!  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 12-05-2017 01:51 PM                        What's the reasoning behind taking the short off of the movie after a certain date? Just to create a sense of urgency so people must see it before X if they don't want to miss that part?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2017 01:56 PM                        Our booker told me they are going to play the Olaf thing on the Disney Channel starting this Sunday.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 12-05-2017 04:08 PM                        quote: Frank Cox What's the reasoning behind taking the short off of the movie after a certain date?

Disney claims this was the plan all along, but I've heard anecdotally it's because so many cinemas have been complaining. The short runs 20 minutes, and so a lot of people expecting to see Coco are coming out of the auditorium to complain that the wrong movie is showing!  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 12-05-2017 04:17 PM                        Daniel, I can confirm this was the plan all along. Before Coco even opened were were told the short would only play for the first 2 weeks or so.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The new CPLs were delivered via download. When you get the email with the new keys their will be a download link for the Supplemental Package. Download this, unzip the folder to a USB and then ingest.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2017 06:13 PM                        Disney sent out a letter about it, encouraging cinemas to schedule an extra Coco show per day due to the new shorter run time. So I could see where the rumor would start that they were getting complaints about it. But, I can also confirm that dropping Olaf was the plan all along...our booker told me about it the Monday before Coco opened.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 12-06-2017 12:16 PM                     oh ugh was that Olaf short painful - I wanted to repeatedly bang my head on a wall after seeing that.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 12-09-2017 07:08 PM                     Pixar manages, for once, to release a movie that's on-par with what they did until about 2010 and then Disney screws up the release by replacing the legendary short with a blatant 20 minute commercial. Disney really suffers from Frozen-overload, signs of mental permafrost are setting in. Disney, please: Let it go, LET IT GOOOO...  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-10-2017 12:56 AM                        If you saw the lines at the Frozen attraction and the "meet'n'greet" for Elsa and Anna at Disney World, you would understand why they keep hangin' on. (The attraction IS pretty good, too.)  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 12-10-2017 03:53 AM                     Well, yes, I've seen the revamped Maelstrom attraction in Epcot and the animatronics and the integration with the projections and screens are pretty awesome. Les awesome is the queue... Then again, it's still kind of newish and everything new at Disney seems to attract multi-hour queues. And I'm pretty much aware about the endless queues for those meet and greets with Elsa (& Friends). Still, what a waste of your day at a Disney park. But then there also is... Frozen Live at the Hyperion (DCA Anaheim) Frozen Sing Along (DHS Orlando and DLP Paris) Mickey and the Magician f.t. Frozen (WDS Paris)* Illuminations f.t. Frozen (DLP Paris) Frozen Holiday Wish Castle Lightning (MK Orlando) ... Ah... and they're building a brand new Frozen land over in Tokyo. So, the permafrost isn't just a local incident, it's global. I understand that Disney likes to exploit their multi-billion dollar franchises, but they seem to fall into common the trap of over-milking it, not just with Frozen. I prefer Disney the OLD "Apple way"... Create desire for something, don't show the back of your tongue and when you deliver, deliver something nobody else does. Don't over-indulge people in it, or they're either getting spoiled or fed up with it. * Probably the best LIVE version yet of Let it GOOOOOOOO....  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 12-10-2017 12:43 PM                     quote: Mike Blakesley If you saw the lines at the Frozen attraction and the "meet'n'greet" for Elsa and Anna at Disney World, you would understand why they keep hangin' on. Part of the reason for the long lines at Frozenstrom (which is a pretty good attraction and an improvement on Maelstrom) is that the ride has incredibly low capacity. Maelstrom used to get 45 minute long lines and that was without an insanely popular IP attached to it.  |  IP: Logged
