If they really did the cartoony backgrounds as MD drew them in his renderings (as they did in "America Sings") where they were just painted flats, it would not have an been immersive escape as Pirates is.<BR/><BR/>It would be ok in a park without Pirates, but next to each other they seem derivative.
