Funny they still managed to get a Mystic Springs nudism joke in. Wasn't expecting one in the film's runtime and setting but they worked it in with them having a tent at the festival. (And Judy shyly saying "No thanks" when Yax tells her to "Let go of her inhibitions" XD)

First we had Bear Butt, then we had Donald Butt, and now Sheep Butt.

I can't lie I do like this part of the show.

We knew the hardliners weren’t going to like this from the start.

Disney was looking to specifically cater to a younger audience. Granted I haven’t seen this show but I’m guessing the tone is gonna be similar to other attractions geared towards children.

No question that ITTAB was outdated and not meeting the mark that Disney has set for attractions internally.

I prefer having Zootopia represented at a smaller venue like this versus a whole entire land with one ride.

It’s fine. But it’s not amazing. Will it win over the new generation? Will they develop nostalgia and a lifelong love of Disney over things like this? I don’t know. It doesn’t feel very dissimilar to something they could watch on Disney+ or YouTube.

Disney is as of late operating mostly on nostalgia and relying on that, but that will go away as the other generations age and inevitably are gone someday. They are not trying as hard as they used to. No one looks at things like this and thinks wow. Amazing. Instant classic. Have to go now. And someday that will come back to bite them if they keep delivering one mediocre experience after another.

I didn't think I would be a big hater of this, just kind of neutral towards the whole concept. But wow I actively disliked that entire show, from plot to pacing, it didn't feel like any of it worked... hope this connects for some ppl but it's not for me

It is strange that they seem to be implying that we are IN Zootopia watching this, with Clawhauser and Flash in the audience with us (and the Tree of Life being retconned in with the posters in the queue).

I think the vast majority of the new experiences has been amazing honestly and I woluld be very upset if/when any of them were to be replaced.

ITTBAB was not a classic. It wasn't even very well liked. It was a show that everyone talked about being too scary
