Okay the new show was pretty good but I was really hoping for a Michael McDonald bear
Just looking back at this—the finished product is so much better than Tokyo’s.
But it's already popular as it is. There is no reason for it. This isn't going to change the popularity of the CBs at WDW long-term. There will be a mild bump at the start of its lifespan, but it's going to settle into the same level of crowds as the previous version had.
I said the same thing about Tianas. It only makes sense. People who like shows will watch it once a trip and people who dont like shows will skip it...same crowds
The entire time watching the new show, this is what I was wishing they’d done!
That would have obviously been better for many of us. However there is no reality where that would have been the outcome.
I do feel like the new show would benefit from one or two original songs to mix in. Pianjo in the intro, blood on the saddle in the second reprise of “remember me” at the end. Keep the rest of the show the same mostly, but have some originals for the original fans, while not making taking away from the new stuff.
It’s an updated showbiz pizza with Disney music
I like a whole new world, because that stupid bit where Wendell rises up and max says “where he comes from” is one of my favorite, and I also thing Wendell rising up with this long intro and coming in with that squeaky “I can show you the world” is good buildup and kinda funny
I get why people with no nostalgia don’t like the show. It was the “rocky horror” of Disney imo. I’m happy new people seem to like it! And I’m also happier we still have the bears, like you said.
