I would expect the source material and projectors to get an HD or 4k upgrade in the process. I have a picture of a really off-center projector from a 2019(?) trip I’ll have to dig up.

Forgive me because I know next to nothing about computer animation but I could see them "refreshing" the film assuming they still have the files that were used to create the original. Basically running the original film through a new rendering engine so models and animation wouldn't need to change, but they could update textures / lighting in each scene.
Assuming the images that were posted are actual screencaps from the film, it looks like Donald will retain his original 2003 look (albeit with an updated color palette. Blue bowtie as opposed to the original black). The new models, on the other hand, look like they're straight out of the actual Coco.

All of those have presence at the parks whether it be M&G, Tangled bathrooms or entire attractions, even if some are still being worked on. Aside from some Coco songs playing in the Mexico pavilion, there's not a lot of Coco visibility in the park.
While I'd love an overlay on the boat ride, this is a welcomed addition. Hopefully it'll come with some new projectors as the current version of the show is closer to 7D than 3D most of the time.
Edit: And to everyone else sleeping on Coco, go do yourself a favor and watch it. It's one of my favorites.

I have a feeling Frozen and Moana might join eventually.

I've never seen the Pixar "I See Dead People" movie, and I'd rather have Tangled's "I See The Light" song (cool 3D floating lanterns!) but whatever - I just hope this motivates TDO to finally update the blurry 3D in that show. It's been crappy for years.
I'm also relieved that no scene is being replaced by this new one. Kind of out of character for TDO these days...
Needs Hong Kong and OLC to chip in to fund it.

Yeah, I agree about Frozen but you just have to let it go and move on.

Film attractions should be updated more often.
A Star Tours approach would work great for this one with random scenes each time.

I would also like it if each version of PhilharMagic was at least a little different for HKDL, TDL, MK, etc
Because the number of people that visit all of them is so large??? That seems a bit odd thing to wish for.

Two PhilharMagics (DCA and DLP) aren't even the real, full experience due to being squeezed into theaters built for other shows, so having them be different makes some sense.

Yesssssss! I have been wanting this for years! Love this idea and Coco is a great addition. I agree with the other posters that a randomized film seems like a great idea. And after this film debuted MK added the Little Mermaid area and B&tB area- maybe they could eventually replace those with different songs. I know animation takes time but these still sound like a cheaper way for Disney to capitalize on newer titles that don't have a lot of park representation:
"Where You Are" from Moana
"Going Down the Bayou" or "Almost There" from Princess and the Frog
"Some things Never Change" or "Lost in the Woods" from Frozen 2 (avoids Let it Go)
"Try Everything" from Zootopia
Just saying....

Disney now owns Hello Dolly! (the Barbra Streisand/Fox movie), from which is the scene Put on Your Sunday Clothes that WALL*E is obsessed with. The song also plays on the Main Street BGM loop.
So....

Yeah but Disney should start going Into the Unknown when picking IPs

I am very happy to hear this. I just hope they spend the money and take the time to update the rest of the film to match what I'm assuming the new scene's quality will be. I am doubtful, but hope they would do that. Coco is one of my favorite Pixar movies, and one of their best I would say. It's a little random, but I'm glad they are choosing Coco as opposed to another princess.

If the addition works to also update the rest of the film, then I'm all for it. However, I have a strong feeling that this is going to be jarring. The juxtaposition between the poorly aged 3D with the newer scene will most likely leave the audience feeling a bit... off.
I would have preferred something from the Disney animated films instead of Pixar, but I have to admit it's a quality addition as long as the rest of the show gets the proper update. We'll see whether this turns out to be a lazy move or not.

Hey! Tangled already has an attraction. It's been a flushing success!

I'm surprised they would add to the toon. It doesn't sound like something Disney would do. Usually they would just replace the whole darn movie.
Hopefully Coco takes over Donald's other attraction as well. Visually it could be fricking awesome.
