I was born in 1992 and I watched Disney Animations when I was very young. I still kept the Disney's movies' VCd or DVD discs.

I'm not talking about the size, I'm talking about the business goal. <br />(1) Shanghai = China. Everybody must understand that +90% of Disney classics are unknown to people in China.

I'm convinced this is the reason why SDL imagineers didn't built Storybook Land there because Chinese would never understand what would be shown.
