News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

[Bocabear]

But she never expressed any interest in the Bayou...so it is out of her character to now be running a swamp tour company when really her dream was to cook and create... It's like Snow White opening a business doing Haunted Forest Tours for guests as a plot line for a Snow White ride...

One of the new pieces of concept art (or “inspiration art” if you will), definitely shows animals more in line with the former design.

That looks worryingly like something that incorporates black light effects a la the old Snow White, but I’m probably inferring too much from one painting.

It's not concept art.

I actually thought the video was fine, but I must say that the donation seemed a little puny to make that big of a deal about. I mean, how long does it take Bob Chapek to earn $50,000?

Roughly 10 hours. (Of work time) i did not count non work hours into this. So by tuesdays brunch he has made a smidge more than that in a week.
I also used the publicly available salary numbers and did not factor in bonuses etc that might have not been included in that.

You’re right, I’m being paranoid. I want this ride to get the budget it deserves but I’ll wait until I see the final product to draw conclusions.

The tours with tiana angle is an interesting one but I think (hope) that she's just looking for something or someone.

Louis' trumpet is missing! That is an emergency, and every small-business owner knows that you immediately close the restaurant down and get into a boat. JK.

We don't know the official story and I agree, she may not have a tour company, and if she does, that just means she is a serial-entrepreneur. (Not a bad message to convey...)

The drop pulls you in to the ride for the first time, but the great show scenes and songs keep you coming back. I know people that get emotional over hearing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah because of Splash.

With the shoestring budget this project is rumored to have being spread over both coasts, it’s hard for me to imagine the new show scenes being as good as Splash or anywhere near the animatronic count Splash currently has. We also already know the song selections possible for the attraction, and in my opinion none of them even come close to Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah or even have the quintessential Disney feel that How Do You Do and Laughing Place have.

Which is why I fear the IP change.

I'm not trying to vilify Zip. It is very unfortunate that we may lose an iconic song bc of its problematic movie. I wish we could go back in time to change SotS, but we can't.

I didn't read the pitch as being Tiana was starting a tour company or anything. You're just accompanying her through the bayou. Not really sure why people seem to find this so out of character. She spent a lot of time there in the film and this takes place after the film, so the idea she would go back doesn't seem like some kind of bizarre left turn.

Maybe she turns into a frog again for our Bayou tour!

(anything can happen...)

This looks like a Drag Brunch at Hamburger Mary's... painted by a 12 year old.

I thought Tiana lived to cook...now she also does swamp tours? How does she have time while running her Palace restaurant? This plotline doesn't make any sense at all from the start. It's Mardi Gras in the swamp? New characters? Bleh

She knows how to bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. And I'm sure she never lets Naveen forget he's a man (important when one used to be a frog).

Rather than Tiana being a guide I think Dr. Facilier as the chronicler of the adventure w Tiana featured as the main character interacting with the others could be interesting. Of course at the end of the ride Dr. Facilier and his friends from the other side bid you a good day. That will spice it up a bit.

Except that! Disney got burned on that one. They're not going to do that again.

Just because you don't like something does not mean it lacks skill or merit.

This looks like it was painted by a 12 year old, but is actually a $90 million painting that is one of the most highly regarded abstract paintings of it's era:

It could be priceless or it could be worthless its all about how each person see's it.

Disney should make a 4K POV recording of Splash and then sell it as an NFT for a zillion dollars.

 

[UNCgolf]

Agreed! And I'll go even further and say I enjoyed Na'vi River Journey more than Flight of Passage.

FoP has a much better queue, but that's it IMO.

I think I do too, actually. FoP is fun, but you're basically just watching a (very pretty) movie. I've said it here before, but give me a 4K version of the film with the corresponding score and I think I'd get about 95% of the experience watching it at home. I understand why other people love it so much because they care about the motion simulation aspect, but that doesn't really do much for me.

Don't give them ideas....
