The Studios are neither in Hollywood nor is the film world centred on that small area of Los Angeles any more (even if it ever was). It is a cumbersome, inappropriate name that will make people wonder if they are supposed to BE in Hollywood or if Disney is based in Hollywood (when their home is actually in Burbank, LA). It just doesn't make sense, especially when the one obvious name is the Walt Disney Studios, just as they have at DLP. What could be simpler and more appropriate? Unless they re-theme much of the Studios (Streets of America, Mickey Avenue, Commissary Lane, Animation Courtyard, etc), it seems to completely miss the mark of the park's essence. It is not even as if it is a film-based theme any more (not with Playhouse Disney, Rock n RollerCoaster, Sounds Dangerous, Block Party Bash, etc). What are they thinking??
