Changes

Although fairly well developed, the direction of The Land pavilion changed in 1978 when the sponsor logging company Georgia Pacific dropped out and Kraft announced that it would sponsoring the pavilion. Instead of focusing on the earth’s habitats, the focus of The Land now shifted towards agriculture, and how humans cultivate their food <ref name= "Martin"/>. With Kraft as its sponsor, the layout of the pavilion itself was also redesigned. Tony Baxter left the project to work on what would eventually be the [[Journey Into Imagination pavilion]] (Where he would eventually rework the Landkeeper into Dreamfinder) and Imagineer Rolly Crump and his team began to come up with new plans for The Land<ref name= "wedway"/>. At this time, the pavilion was reshaped to look like a glass pyramid or mountain <ref name= "book"/>. Furthermore, the entrance was given murals to represent entering the earth’s core <ref name= "Martin"/>. The new plans also called for The Land to be made up of a boat ride, later named [[Listen to the Land]] and the "Harvest Theater" which would show [[Symbiosis]], an environmental film <ref name= "Martin"/>. Originally, The Land pavilion was also going to feature temporary greenhouses; however it was later decided to permanently incorporate them into Listen to the Land<ref name= "Martin"/>. The final addition to the pavilion came when sponsor Kraft decided that they wanted to include an attraction that focused on nutritional information in the pavilion <ref name= "Martin"/>. With this in mind, Imagineers created [[Kitchen Kabaret]]- an Audio Animatronic musical revue which featured singing food characters.
