It was originally a 3d animation that looked terrible.

This looks 2D to me but hard to tell given the angle. Guess I do not remember this at all.

People don't know how to film a dark ride. It's amazing how youtube will return the latest videos even if you want something from 15 years ago.

It all just feels so cheap!!! They've wanted to do this since at least 2010, there were talks about this as early as then, why does it all seem so lazy?
No animatronics here? No problem! We will just...turn off the lights!!!

I doubt they put much thought into it back then. Not much more than a "it would be neat". Granted they didn't put much thought into it when they were actively developing it post announcement, and it is in fact "not neat".It all just feels so cheap!!!

Hi! I wanted to add my thoughts since I finally got to ride this overlay.
The good…
The queue, the exterior does look good, the animatronics and the finale.
The bad…
The ride is way too fast, the story is easy to understand but it is a bad story. There was so much potential but TWDC blew it. As everybody has said, there was no need to do this ride. Give Tiana a new ride but again Disney was lazy and cheap.
The UGLY
The execution of all of it. Again, there are good parts but you cannot see it because you are going mach one through the ride. You get people soaked during Xmas during your launch?!?! Why? Spend the next few months and create a compelling story and with some drama. It is an unfinished product.
It is a much better ride in person but Disney leadership should (and probably) learn from this because they are capable but allowed outside influence to create something that is underwhelming.

Omg, they didn't fix the soak factor DLR Splash was known for.
Edit: not being sarcastic, legitimately baffled by this choice on their part.

Yes. I thought they would have fixed that when they had the chance. There is no reason why the entire logs needs to go underwater lol.

Yea it’s awful. Not to mention the log gets flooded leaving your shoes and socks drenched. Next time I go on, I’m bringing some extra sandals just so that doesn’t happen.

I compared this 4k version to my vhs copy side by side. It's amazing how rich the colors in the live action are. You see actually see the characters in the nighttime shots. The animation is pure Disney magic. It's not washed out and is very crisp. The audio track is still mono but sounds better. It is definitely something to see along with 4K77, 4k80 and 4k83.

Did you know there is a 4k transfer of Song of the South?
There's a great 35mm scan that's floating around- and also one that someone used AI to clean up. I'm not a fan of the AI one, it makes the film look a bit off since it's 'guessing' fine details so it can make things look a bit funky.

Every song that was in the movie was in the ride. It's really cool to hear the lyrics to the songs you hear in the queue especially the slower ones like Sooner or Later. Now no one will hear those songs again or even know the lyrics to them. My bet is most Disney fanatics don't even know that they are. Who knows the lyrics to "Uncle Remus said" and where the song is in the ride/queue?
