The retro-future theme of Tomorrowland in Disney World's Magic Kingdom seems to fade away more with the advent of yet another character-themed attraction. This poster serves to remind us of "the future that never was," the concept behind Tomorrowland's redesign in the mid-1990s. While Buzz Lightyear and Stitch both had elements to justify some degree of inclusion, Mike Wazowski and company are an odd fit in the new attraction's home within the Metropolis Science Centre, outside of which the Recreational Rocket Vehicle Show poster has been displayed.
