Well, they do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

[SpazeBlue]

Pixar Fan Favorite (G; 1 hour, 32 mins)
Monsters Inc.
Toy Story 2 has the same runtime, but I don't think sequels are too likely. Could still be it though.

Star Wars Fan Favorite (PG-13; 2 hours, 13 mins)
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Walt Disney Animation Studios Fan Favorite (PG; 1 hour, 54 mins)
I can't figure this one out. The closest is Ralph 2, but as I said, I don't think sequels are likely. Plus, it's still 2 minutes off, while the others are dead on with their runtime. The other closest are Raya, Zootopia, and Moana, which are all 7/8 minutes off.

Disney Fan Favorite (PG; 1 hour 48 mins)
Rocketeer, Huck Finn, Iron Will, and Alice in Wonderland all match the runtime. Of those two, I think Rocketeer and Wonderland are the most likely. I agree with the above (is AiW really considered a "fan favorite"?), and Rocketeer does have a new children's animated show, so I would be leaning more towards Rocketeer, but I would think Disney would more likely choose Alice.

Of the above, I would love to see Monsters Inc. in theaters, as it's my favorite Pixar movie (and it came out before I was watching movies in theaters). I wouldn't mind Toy Story 2 either, as it's also up there in my Pixar ranking.
Rogue One is awesome, and one of the best of the Disney Star Wars movies. Did see it in theaters, but have no problem doing it again.
Still don't know what the animated one is, but judging from the ones mentioned, I hope it's not Ralph 2, as I wasn't a huge fan of that one (the first would be great though ). Raya I still haven't seen yet (as my copy of the 4K arrived broken, and I still haven't replaced it), so that one would be cool. Zootopia... eh. Mostly indifferent about that one, but wouldn't mind seeing it again. Moana is pretty good, but not something I would rush to see in theaters. Would be fine seeing it for $5 though.
Rocketeer would be awesome, since I haven't seen it yet, and it looks pretty cool. Alice I would probably skip, though I haven't seen it, and it does have Johnny Depp...

They have a new Monsters series on D+, right? So that's why that one would be chosen.

You're wrong on the length of the animated movies. Raya is exactly 1 hour, 54 minutes. Terrible choice to revive when it was just out in theaters.

[MileHigh AI]

If the mystery movies are anything like the Thrills & Chills mystery movies they did in October this will be a strong pass

Oh right, forgot about that. Would be another reason it's likely Monsters.

Really? Both this site, and IMDb say 1:47/1:48.

EDIT: Checking Disney+, it is 1:54, but those extra minutes are the international credits.

I know what they are but was sworn to secrecy by someone who trusted me so I will not break that trust. I will, however, say that SpazeBlue has them all among his guesses.

What are international credits? Why does a movie on D+ need longer credits than the disc has?

On a lot of streaming services, they will include the credits in other languages, and sometimes the voice cast who dubbed it in other languages

It's what they play after the main credits. It's to account for the various dubs they include, to credit the voice actors and whatnot. No music or anything, just a series of stills.

EDIT: Here's a video example:

international credits - YouTube

Are they doing them the 12th, 13th and 14th? AMC Burbank has listings for the showings at the same times (and run times) on each of those days. If they're going to screen the same films again on Saturday and it's THE ROCKETEER, I'm in.

Yeah, I thought it was just for one day, but it looks like it's the same thing for those 3 days (unless those extra days were added since yesterday?). I wish they at least rotated the schedule so that the ones that showed late the first day, would show earlier the next, and so forth. No way I could see the Star Wars one with it being at 9 PM, and it being well into the city. Wouldn't get home till after midnight, no thanks.

I feel like the general schedule doesn't make sense either. The Pixar movie (presumably Monsters Inc.) shouldn't be at 6:45 PM, considering that one is more likely to be better for little kids. It should have been the first or second movie scheduled.

I'm down to see Rogue One in theater again. Magnificent film.

Don't brag, this OP did it so much better.

[craigbarr2003]

I went ahead about bought a ticket for the 1hr 48min Disney feature for Sunday. Hoping for ROCKETEER, but easy cancel if it turns out to be something else on Friday.

It's probably Moana with the short Inner Workings. Moana has constantly been in the top 10 trending titles on Disney+.

I also think the Pixar Fan Favorite is Toy Story, the extra runtime is probably a short.

Could it be counting Us Again too? That played with Raya in theaters and is just under 7 minutes. Indeed Fandango lists 1:54 for Raya because of the short

https://www.fandango.com/raya-and-th...movie-overview

While it might be weird to have one that just released, Raya did come out before a lot of the box office rebounding has happened (I believe it opened the same day that theaters here in NYC did), and it might give a chance to some audiences who missed it on the big screen then.

[Farerb]

But people wouldn't even know it's going to be Raya and the Last Dragon, they're just going to a secret screening of something. I don't think it's going to be Raya and the Last Dragon, I don't think that film is a fan favorite.

P.S. this would be a crappy way of tricking people into seeing Ralph Breaks the Internet.

P.S. 2 this would be awesome if it turned out to be Encanto but I doubt Disney would do something like that.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards it being Raya. Would also explain why this is the only one with the time being off. Since it's newer, it still has the short. Sure Monsters Inc. had For the Birds, but that movie's been out for 20 years.

For the Live-action one, I do think Rocketeer has a bit of a following, but maybe not a big enough one. And Alice in Wonderland was in the top five highest-grossing movies of all time when it came out, so it would make perfect sense for Disney to re-release that one.

So what I'm leaning towards is:

Monsters Inc.
Rogue One
Raya
Alice in Wonderland

Also a good point. I don't think its been out long enough to be considered a fan favorite. But marketing and all that...

True.
