Plot summary[edit]

The plot summary section seems a bit too long, and written in an in-universe style, contrary to the guidelines at WP:Writing about fiction. Is there anyway we can pare it down and make it more grounded in the real world? Powers ^T 12:42, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Similarity to sliders[edit]

I'm surprised more is made of the similarity to Sliders. From the using a remote control to open a portal, the plot device of a broken remote being repaired/provided by an alternate self, the visual appearance of the 'portal' as a vertical swirling disk, to a related person from a parallel universe deciding to jump through the portal at the last second. I think this warrants a stronger mention than the couple of sentences in the production section of the article. Astronaut (talk) 18:40, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. Do you have any sources that have made the comparisons? Doniago (talk) 19:27, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Information on the Disney universe character designs[edit]

Could this be of any use, seeing as she was one of the animators for the Disney universe sequence. Sarujo (talk) 18:26, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I actually animated most of it under director Greg Colton, who I tried to point out as a source. I was kind of attacked by people editing here when I explained that the first time. I just came back after we just had a discussion about this very article and wikipedia on facebook. 98.149.114.34 (talk) 00:08, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to mention, the director Greg Colton won an Emmy think for this storyboard.Might be worth noting 98.149.114.34 (talk) 00:13, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
