If they have to have the IP, that's the best place for it -- out of the way. You have to want to walk the queue and go under the tree. It's not visible anywhere else.

I kinda keep forgetting about this cause it’s of very little interest to me. Tough to be a bug is up there with muppets as one of the best 4-D shows from classic 80-90’s era. Seriously. to be a bug, muppets, EO, those were the days! And Terminator at universal as well. So good.
But bugs life has kinda been forgotten about and zootopia has been popular on Disney+ and there is a new movie coming out so it’s hard to fault them for it.
Fun fact - to be a bug was not written by Pixar - it was written by Imagineer Kevin Rafferty!

You’d love it! It’s on Amazon - I’d tell you to look for it at the writers stop at Hollywood studios but naturally it doesn’t exist anymore.
Kevin was the lead for Cars Land, midway mania, Winnie the Pooh, philharmagic, runaway railway, and yes…. Tiki room new management haha.

Kinda’ surprised they didn’t make 3 sequels to A Bug’s Life, and are not now working on a live action version…!!!

I feel like that's a longshot, but I'd be excited about that if they did.

With an ~9 month turn over time between shows, I assume changes to the theater itself (like the rockwork/queue) will likely be minimal? (Which is fine with me... I really like the look of the queue and theater)

I don't plan to watch the new show, but I just want to preemptively say that if one of the characters says "zoogether", "zoonited", or any other puns and another character rolls their eyes, says something like "you been planning that one?" or any other "ugh puns" gesture, it is not funny or clever.
The character making the pun commenting on it is also none of those positive traits.
Same for if any character refuses to sing or otherwise makes an "ugh singing" comment.

Do you think the lion king show would have been replaced by Zootopia? @TrainsOfDisney

I really don't see why they'd bother changing it, posters, signage, and animatronics aside. The scale of everything was always consistent with the exterior of the Tree of Life anyway.

I see no reason why not. You're under a tree. They may swap out the seats though. Unless they can come up with a reason to have balls rolling across your butt.
