I couldn't disagree more with you and thats okay.
IMO real embarrassments to park is nemo ride - basically all projections & again Navi river ride with one pandora anamatronic and the rest projections.
That's some projection system to re-create a forest and waterfall!

Whatever floats your boat but it is a bit more than just projections...Please see statement again below which does does not contain park name -only references names of rides

From what I've found, the short waterfall in one of the vignettes is actually a projection. Bubbles come up from underneath to provide the effect of water hitting water, but there's nothing actually flowing. That cuts down on maintenance.
Though I now think you're talking about the waterfall that hides the maintenance spur.

I'm glad you clarified the number one for me.
If NRJ was the length of either IASW or POTC, I think your opinion would be different. NRJ has some absolutely amazing integrations between digital and physical effects. The frog-things, hopping from leaf to leaf, the various small animals either spinning or floating above your head, the multiplanar screens with physical props in front-between them, everything serves as a tech demo for how screens can be done very, very well.

That's how POTC: Sunken Treasure appears to be as well. Perfect merging of physical sets and screens/projections.

Seems to be a bit hairy yes?
Tangled is my favorite Disney movie and Rapunzel is my favorite princess so that would be great for me. I hope whatever it is replaces Beauty and the Beast and they tear down Mermaid along with the rest of Animation Courtyard and build an E Ticket.

Tangled made the perfect replacement for BaTB. Sigh. I feel like they realized they could keep it going once the live action remake hit the screen. It's all about timing sometimes. Tangled deserves more. I'm really excited it's getting an attraction in Tokyo.
The Frozen sing-along should have replaced Voyage of the Little Mermaid instead of going into the Hyperion. The Hyperion should be hosting a real show. (And I don't hate the sing-along, it's comical with the two hosts and almost underrated in that regards but I just feel the main theater you see should host a better production).

Tangled is my favorite of the new generation Disney animated films. B&TB is still Number ONE. For Pixar films, Ratatouille is tops as far as I'm concerned. Gonna have to go to Tokyo for that Tangled ride- one day. It deserves more than restrooms at the Magic Kingdom.

I know I’m very much in the minority here, but to my mind, Voyage of the Little Mermaid (an early ’90s show that celebrates the first film of the Renaissance) beautifully captures the aesthetics and mood of a key moment in Disney history. Like other well-established shows at WDW that have been left pretty much unchanged, it reads to me as a classic whose very appeal is bound up with its vintage status. I’ll be very sad when it goes.

I love Tangled as well. I think Princess and the Frog is also fun and underrated but I really really enjoyed Tangled. But of course I have loads of attachment to Beauty, Aladdin, Lion King, Mermaid ... "my" Disney movies. EDIT: Toy Story remains my nostalgic favorite (even though the land leaves so much to be desired, sadly) but I love Rat too. UP. Wall-E. ... I have a hard time choosing. Cars is fun but nothing exactly too special. Plot is usually basic.
Though I have to say I really also liked Zootopia but I have a hard time placing it in any of the parks at WDW. Again, I think timing. But Tangled felt right up there to me with Mermaid, etc.
It does. Tokyo just slapped WDW across the face with a true New Fantasyland (in a different park, but still) AND a Beauty and the Beast ride. It makes me even more bitter over what we got. Though I appreciate a Mermaid presence (the ride could have been done better) and the Mine Train is OK (also should have been done better). Tokyo, one day I'm coming to visit you and I'll probably never leave
I'm gonna pop a tent and move right in ...
