EPCOT Anna, Elsa and Kristoff Audio-Animatronics refresh coming to Frozen Ever After in EPCOT

Awesome. After this one re-opens, do 7DMT and MMRR next, especially MMRR. The Mickey in the car is especially egregious.
IMO, the 7DMT ones work decently because the beards obscure the edges and the gems are supposed to be emitting an otherworldly glow. MMRR could definitely use a rethink, but the issue is more with the attempt to bring 2-D into 3-D than with the projection itself.

If I had to pick another ride to close next for animatronic upgrades, it'd definitely be Mermaid. I think it's the one currently most hindered in appeal by lack of motion in the supplementary figures and poor initial build and maintenance of its core figures.

I know this is now old and in response to a sarcastic comment, but the presser from @wdwmagic now says the body movements are also being “refined”.

Your assumption was my assumption, just want to make sure that detail didn’t get overlooked.
That is good to see. I appreciate the movement capabilities of the advanced AAs. However, I do mind when they seem to flail rather vigorously when there is no need (ie., the first Tiana figure in TBA). They should be programmed to move with purpose. Hoping that is what we see here.
