They're not replacing it with a sing along, it will share the same Theater as the sing along. Reading between the lines, it seems to me that the real reason for the sing along is because the M&G will have to temporarily go away due to construction of Rat. But Disney is planning currently on filming a new version of IdF, so...they must have some data that shows it's worth updating.Until Disney sees the need to replace the attraction with a sing along?
Bingo.

So the sing-along is temporary! Thank goodness! Hopefully it won’t have an obtrusive sign out front for the time it’s there.
Signs more intrusive than the Festival standees making choke points chokier?

Yeah, but the sign-along is temporary.

Just checking, is the sing-a-long going to be the animated or live action version?

So, they're going to have someone signing at the sing-a-long?

Worse, it’s just an advertisement.
They need a new film with a crooked Eiffel Tower to match Soarin’.
I probably won’t go to the sing-a-long (once and done, just like IDF) but it’s existence won’t bother me. My solution is two legs which take me to the next attraction I enjoy.
Or, the new IDF replaces the old, and continues alternating with the sing-along, if the sing-along is working for the Company.
If it does, don’t rule out alternating shows in other countries. (Cue exploding heads.)

Well, Soarin' Thru CGI-land is better than Tomorrowland, where they tore the Eiffel Tower in half...

Is this thing still in the works. If so, is there any idea when it's supposed to open?

It was just announced in November. No opening date announced yet.

When will the sing a long totally replace the France film?
Hopefully there will be FP+ to spread the crowds out.
Will we see a Mary Poppins song a long?

The sing-a-long will not totally replace Impressions de France. There are plans to update it. The new show is only temporary. Insiders have confirmed this. And there are zero plans to make a Poppins show, unless the build an entire theatre in the U.K. pavilion..............it’s never been on the table.
It won’t.
Nor will it be of any scope. The facility can’t support something of scope.

My biggest concern with it right now is the signage outside. I really hope they don’t ruin the look of the IDF facade. Fingers crossed that the BatB signage is relatively discrete...

In a Disney Parks Blog Post about the new Harvest Theater movie, "Awesome Planet" is this nugget:
It doesn't say whether Impressions de France will get a refurb but this is definitely newsworthy that a new sing-along will rotate with it throughout the day.
This new film – together with the new Circle-Vision film previously announced for the China pavilion, updates to the film at the Canada pavilion, and the “Beauty and the Beast” Sing-Along that is coming to France – hints at the scope of the coming transformation of this amazing park. The new films herald a bold new era for a theme park that is distinctly Disney in its view of the earth, its lands and its people.
We’re aware, of course, that each time we touch Epcot, we are touching the setting for millions of precious family memories. So, we are very careful stewards of this park.
“Beauty and the Beast” Sing-Along will rotate, for instance, with “Impressions de France,” which retains its place in Guinness World Records as the longest-running daily screened film in the world.
