I think the live actors are needed even if they are not noticed. As Walt believed. you may not notice what is there but you will notice what is missing. It is very noticeable that people are missing.

We saw the original version.....Just don't remember the live actors having much to do or contribute to the show.
My personal favorite video of RoL:
It features lots of close ups on the actors throughout the show.

Pretty much until they fix the crappy giant water screens and the lack of a real finale throwing IP at this show will not fix it.

The fire at the end will be recast into the fire nymphs Chernabog played with during Fantasia's Night on Bald Mountain.

Lol. On a serious note though, putting aside everyone’s opinion of this new version, what is actually changing? Or can’t you say?
From Disney's own press release, it seems they're just adding some IP clips to the water spray projections.

What day will be the last performance of the current version?

Sounds like there isn’t going to be much of a difference in versions. Unless you obviously do not want to see any IP.

So the soundtrack and show length are staying the same?

I am one of those who go to Disney so that my mind can be numbed as it is dosed with lights and sounds and images of happy childhood memories. The old Magic Kingdom and imagineers added happy memories with story lines unique to the parks. I have no hate for IP. I would love new and original content/story lines in the park.
BUT I NEVER understood the premise of this show.
To me it was “we got to put in a night time spectacular in AK!”
Then the “it should be about animals”. Then it all falls apart.
An expensive example of lack of message, or message soo deeply imbedded even the best of us are scratching our heads.
How about a cricket telling the story of a majestic world full of wonder that was destroyed by a bunch of idiots who wanted to go to resorts to have their minds numbed?
I could understand that.

I mean the story isn’t that complex.
Then again we have a whole group who couldn’t understand ROE so I’m not shocked.

It's playing off of night sky and afterlife myths about animals Disney had previously drawn from for that classic film a bunch of people totally saw called Brother Bear.
I still don't get Fantasmic! and the "suddenly, colonialists."
