GRAB YOUR FIGMENT POPCORN BUCKETS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Figment!
Figment, the purple dragon who is the star of EPCOT’s Journey Into Imagination with Figment attraction, has quite the fan following. He’s become the mascot, in a way, of many of EPCOT’s festivals, a Figment meet-and-greet is coming back to EPCOT in the future, there was an entire Figment popcorn bucket fiasco, and we’ve seen all kinds of Figment items released in the past. But now we have HUGE news for Figment fans.
According to Deadline, Disney is working on a movie all about the fan-favorite character, Figment from EPCOT’s Imagination Pavilion!
A Figment MOVIE?!
The movie is being made with Seth Rogan’s Point Grey. Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, from Pokemon Detective Pikachu — are set to write the film.
Other details haven’t been shared about the film, but we cannot wait to learn more.

Will it feature Dreamfinder? Will it have a steampunk feel like some of the Dreamfinder and Figment comic books? What exactly will the movie focus on — Figment’s origin story? Figment adventures? We have SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Disney is making movies based on attractions in their parks. Nothing new there. Only issue–lazy, lacking original thought and often lacking in execution. Pirates of the Carribean was good because of the director and concept, but not all of them were that good (lest we forget the Country Bears movie).
Disney should have softened the blow and also did a new Splash Mountain movie based on the ride’s characters and leaving Song of the South in the rear view mirror. They then could have saved one of their best classic rides and created something new for Tiana.
