Few would think that a cult classic and a modern cultural cornerstone would clash, but it seems times are changing at Disney, with Dinosaur and Zootopia currently causing controversy. Always teetering between tradition and progress, nostalgia and high hopes for the future, Disney’s latest discord is just one of many surrounding the company in recent months. However, as past, present and future collide with heated arguments, many wonder why fans of two very different films have begun to contend and what it means for Disney moving forward.Just as synonymous with their other entertainment ventures, Disney’s theme parks have been a brand staple since the opening of Disneyland in 1955. Opening on Earth Day in 1998, Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida, allowed imaginations to run wild by combining cutting-edge attractions with breathtaking zoological exhibits. Emphasizing a fight to save endangered animals, themes of environmentalism and the wonders of nature, one of many themed areas within Animal Kingdom was DinoLand U.S.A., a small town whose history goes beyond its 1950s roadside facade back to the Mesozoic. After various closures of the area and the demolition of its Primeval Whirl roller coaster in 2021, it raised the question of whether DinoLand U.S.A. soon faced extinction, waiting to be replaced by something entirely new.In the year 2000, Disney released Dinosaur, an ambitious attempt to push the boundaries of CGI animation. The film’s plot revolves around an Iguanodon named Aladar and his unconventional family. While Dinosaur was reminiscent of other dinosaur movies like The Land Before Time, it failed to leave a similarly lasting impact on audiences. Despite its lukewarm reception and only gaining a cult following, Dinosaur found an unusual second life as an attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Evolving from predecessors like Indiana Jones Adventure and its previous iteration, Countdown to Extinction, DINOSAUR holds a special place within Disney’s history that doesn’t deserve its possible incoming doom.RELATED: 65’s Scariest Scene Doesn’t Involve a Dinosaur – But There’s a Problem
