So, let’s see…
“Mama don’t scold Little Buford, Mama don’t make him feel bad. Mama don’t scold Little Buford, I think you should give him a trophy instead.”
Also…
“Let the tears be the chaser for your Starbucks or Joffrey’s latte, crappuchino, or whatever.”
Y’all can fill in the rest…!!!!!

I think it will be OK…. The biggest issue is that it won’t have any edge. Look at classics like MuppetVision, Country Bears, and Tiki Room, pirates and mansion too… they have a little edge to them.It’s no longer even a question of if they’re gonna’ mess up this classic attraction anymore, it’s just merely a question of how bad…?!
The more you sanitize it the more boring it can get.
But what we will end up will probably be ok and we still get to see the characters we like in the setting that we remember so over all not the biggest loss.

I’ll hold off on final judgement ‘til it opens, of course, but, to me anyway, it’s just not sounding good.
BTW…
Has anybody here heard anything about a possible reopening time…?!

That’s basically what I was saying. I’d rather have the current Figment than no Figment at all but it’s a shadow of what was. Same kinda thing.
It’s sad that the best any of us can say is that this will “not be too bad” or that “we’re just lucky it’s coming back at all.”
A Disney attraction should be GOOD, not “not as bad as it could have been.” What sane organization would update an attraction and make it not as good as the original? How many times is Disney going to repeat this mistake?
Current Imagination is a embarrassment compared to what it was
Under new management was an embarrassment compared to the original (and current) Tiki Room.
The new CBJ is going to be an embarrassment compared to the original.
Zero creativity. Pure laziness.

Quick preface, I’m not saying what they’re doing will be amazing or even that it’s what they should be doing.
Firstly, you’re making the assumption that it won’t be as good as the original, and it might very well not be, but it might also be better to most people. We literally don’t know, so large assumption.
I’ll also say it’s contradictory to say doing something is lazy, when you’re suggestion is to do nothing…

This has been the motto of WDI, and other aspects of the parks, for the last several years.

Yeah this seem very odd. You would think at this point everything has been recorded and is just waiting to be installed in the theater.

I don't think this is really the case. I think what we're seeing is an anticipation and a hyper awareness about the possibility of people being offended vs there being a substantial subset of the audience actually objecting.
TV shows in the 90s were making jokes about parents being overly sensitive to cartoon violence 30 years ago. The "hyper-sensitivity" concern is nothing new. The only difference is maybe somebody in a position to make decisions might have their opinion influenced by such hypothetical concerns.

I fully agree that it's a vast minority of people who think like that, and that this is an extreme premature over correction in the event that someone might eventually have an issue with it. But there are unfortunately a few people out there who do think it's offensive, that's what i'm responding to. And it's unfortunate that Disney is trying to cater towards this irrationality.

This is the full original song, and from old recordings of the show, I think they only every had the first verse. Though I'd still not assume he's a dog just from the first verse (either human or a "bear" in the show's context)-
Mama, don't whoop little Buford
Mama, don't pound on his head
Mama, Don't whoop little Buford
I think you should shoot him instead
Buford brought home his report card
Buford was proud as could be
At last he had passed through the 3rd grade
And Buford is just 23
Mama, don't whoop little Buford
Mama, you'll just be a wreck
For Buford is studying Judo
And he'll break your scrawny ole' neck
When Buford was five, he was smokin'
And drinking hard liquor at six
At seven, he learned about women
At eight, Buford got his first fix
Mama, don't whoop little Buford
You'll never know how Buford feels
Buford is good to you, mama
He brings you whatever he steals
Now Buford is gone, what a pity
At last we found happiness
We bought a new home in the city
And we won't give him our address
So, Mama don't whoop little Buford
Mama, don't knock out his breath
Just teach him to be a folk singer
Then Buford will soon starve to death

Under new management is not ‘current’ Imagineering. That attraction was designed in the mid 90’s! Shanghai Disney barely (or really doesn’t) qualify as current Imagineering.
Do with that as you will, but Imagineering is many, many generations beyond Eisner now.
What's this thread about? Oh right, the 51st rehashing of issues no one is going to ever agree upon. Carry on.

only the 51st?? I would've figured this is the 51,000th!! Heck, I've been on this website about a year, and I may have seen 51 counts of this...

Who misses OLD FRONTIERLAND at Magic Kingdom? Hope they don’t erase it from WDW!

I actually hope they build an all new Frontierland similar to Grizzly Gulch behind Thunder Mountain... It is hyper detailed and feels more like the Old West...a better fit for Big Thunder....And allow the Riverfront to transition from Colonial America, to 19th century Mississippi River to the early 20th Century New Orleans River Delta...In a grand architectural sweep. Move Country Bears into a new theater in the New Frontierland, Tall Tale could become Tiana's Palace, Golden Horseshoe could become 19th Century Riverfront Showboat gothic show...it could all work saving the new section as a newly remastered Frontierland....
