He does come back, though it’s not really an interruption.
I also wonder what the big surprise was. Steve’s comment makes me think he’d heard Zip would be in it.

I think it’s that they used splash parts to make the bears better, maybe?

How long was this planned out?
Anyways, I think the show is good, the weakest spot is Try Everything and my favorite is uhhh... I really love You've Got a Friend In Me is done here.

I can guess why someone wanted it to be cut. Almost certainly would not have looked good for Disney to put the song in there and keep the film out of reach...

If my niece wants to see it, we'll go. She was super attached to the old one though. If she's not interested, I'm going to pass. The kids haven't been liking all the changes at the Disney parks lately either and have been asking about Universal, so not sure how much longer we'll be visiting the Disney parks.

It's the film and the fact they've been basically erasing the song from everywhere it was before for the last 4-5 years. They'd wanna be consistent so I doubt they'd put it here after erasing it from park loops and parades.
My thoughts while watching:
- New Henry will definetly take a little time to get used too. Not bad, but Ranaday had a joy to him that can’t be matched.
- Voice wise I’m super glad they tried to match the old actors.
- The animatronics look incredible.
- Country Bear Musical Jamboree song feels straight out of one of the overlays, in a good way.
- Surprised Trixie wasn’t in the show that much with how much they were hyping her up during the promos.
- Glad the banter with the heads is back.
- The heart lights during Kiss the Girl is a nice little touch
- I appreciate the “Mineral spring” reference. That's how you work a little nod to the past in.
- Wendell’s vocals for Whole New World works. He’s got that kind of dorky-lover voice.
- Shaker’s number turned out better than expected, same with Friend in Me. FiM works better with the faster tempo.
- Glad the eyebrow/drum beat returned after Shaker’s song.
- “Henry, get the hook! Get a bear trap!” made me laugh.
- Backstories they just put out for the Bears seemed to be mostly skipped over, much like the TBA critters.

Yep, and if they put it in this one there would be massive questions about why they decided to erase the song until a bunch of bears decided to sing it, while keeping the film locked up tighter than The North Avenue Irregulars...

If they had to update it, I’m glad that was the result. It actually was really good and it seems like they put a lot of love and attention into it.
I believe a post to hear said if they updated the tiki room to use this team and I fully agree!

So is Disney softening on Zip? I thought it couldn't be anywhere, even a storyboard. Unless that Storyboard was going to be trashed anyway???...
How many Years have we had problems with Zip?

Just watched the entire show, and that actually works pretty well. The bears all keep their charm and while some IP songs are a little weird they aren’t straight rips from the movie. AA’s while not as sophisticated as Tiana’s are also pretty good here. The bears aren’t going anywhere thanks to this update. I might dare even to say this show may be an improvement over the one we had before. I miss “Blood on the Saddle“ but the comedic bit they added works pretty well.
….never thought you could turn “Kiss the Girl” into an Elvis song but that worked really well.

When TBA was announced.
Looks great. I actually wish it was longer. Some of the snippets were a bit too snipped.

Agreed. The pacing is my one gripe right now - it felt like the show needed to breathe a little more.

I’d say it’s a mix of both. They definitely nailed Big Al’s voice while Henry sounds different (obviously) they all retained their identity and charm though IMO.
It was at the end.
