A former attraction at Epcot's Innovations Plaza has reopened after being forced to close due to some major criticism from park guests. The attraction closed shortly after its debute last February, however is now back with a completely rewritten storyline.

From The Orlando Sentinal:

Following its debut last February, the attraction landed in big trouble when fat-acceptance proponents said its super-sized cartoon characters were cruel stereotypes and hurtful to larger-sized children.

By March 1, Disney had pulled the curtain, closing the exhibit and sending the Imagineers back to the drawing board.

Today, the only feature the sequel has in common with the first version is its name and location — inside Innoventions, the park's futuristic showcase of ideas. Beyond that, it was scrubbed.

The Orlando Sentinal provides a great look at the new and improved attraction in their video below.
