I think it will be that Cruella, Hook, and Maleficent are live and anyone else will be recorded.

Obvious every other villain would be recorded, if not pulled straight from archive material. While some of the lesser known voice actors would be pretty happy to record new stuff, I doubt it. I just don't thi k with an 18 minute show, we can rule out the possibility of having tracks for everyone which would lower the cost by a fair amount. Assuming this is even a long-term thing. Then again who the hell knows, it'll probably stay for 15 years and decay.

If I'm wrong I will be very happy to be wrong because we have so much less live performance in Orlando then we did even 10 years ago, but I doubt it. And that's not coming from any source or anything, that's just my opinion based on what we have seen come out of entertainment for years and years here. Cost cutting after cost cutting...

It's already been confirmed through casting breakdowns that the three main Villain characters are Equity roles which means they will be singing and speaking live. As per Equity rules, I believe a lip sync track for each performer is recorded for backup just in case but on a day to day basis, the 3 main Villains as well as Ariel and Eric in the reimagined Little Mermaid show will all be equity roles that will sing and speak live.

With showtimes this close together, it's more than likely they'll have 4 sets of casts per day. Two casts will alternate performances during the first half of the day and then two alternating in the 2nd half. LOVE seeing a nice boost in the amount of equity roles available on property.

It’ll be a tight turnaround but doable. 3D shows unload and reload pretty quickly.

Unfortunate that this was trimmed down. Hopefully, it still works. This combined with Mermaid are a nice capacity boost to the park.

I remain unconvinced the 40 min show ever existed except as a concept (certainly have never had its existance confirmed by anyone I've talked to). DLE hasn't made show that long for Orlando since Frozen (Nemo since it was cut doesn't count), with original Nemo being the last one before that anytime close. (And even Nemo was cut down from a full length show after previews.) Disappointing to say the least.

Guests in general have shorter attention spans then ever before it seems.

The decision to have the show be shorter then originally pitched makes sense from that perspective.

It also helps insure they will be able to provide multiple showings per day.

Looking forward to seeing this once it opens.

I personally think a 40 min show might be a tad bit overkill in this day and age.

Depending on the content and if it holds my interest a longer show is fine.

20-25 minutes is the sweet spot in my opinion.

Long shows are good in theory but they can muck up the plans for days as you really have to allot a good chunk of time for them (getting there early, filling the theater, emptying the theater, etc) and make sure you make one of the shows as there aren't many and if you just miss one it throws everything off. Even like Indy can have that impact

Personally I would rather have an 18 min show that runs every 30 mins and they get 15 shows a day in than be 40 mins and only get in 5 shows or so (like Indy is)

Personally I think it’s all about how people want to spend their time. In a park with 9 rides meet and greets and other shows of course no one is going to want to watch a forty minute show. It makes for an interesting comparison to Disney cruise line where people have a lot more time and generally less things to do on the ship (unless you really like restaurants and bars which if that’s the case you won’t be hearing any shaming from me)
