Directed by Bird, who won Academy Awards for The Incredibles and Ratatouille (and who would have won another for The Iron Giant if the Academy had given out Feature Animation awards back then), Tomorrowland has shot at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The filming at those parks was in and around two of Disney's attractions from the 1964 New York Fair: It's a Small World and Carousel of Progress. (The Fair is said to be one of the settings in the film.) Here's Disney's description:
Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank ([George] Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.
Bird and Clooney are about as bank as it gets in Hollywood, so expectations are high for this film, which debuts May 22 next year.
In the meantime, could someone at Walt Disney Imagineering please set up a meeting with production designer Scott Chambliss so we can move toward getting a theme park Tomorrowland that looks anything like this?
What do you think?

Bird made "The Incredibles" too. There are many undeveloped IP's that could be added into Tomorrowland.
But the trailer looks good!
I would like to echo comments calling for a Wall-E attraction. Disney could take all of their futuristic IP's and create some genuinely unique attractions that would stand the test of time. thumbs up! :)
