Absolutely splendid - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it! My only concern which has always been is the woman who sings the circle of life song (depending on who does it) seems to loose breathe at parts when there should be more emotion. There is one lady I have on video from 2009 she was absolute perfection. Also, the heavier set guy that was always in the old show is now muscular in the new show- I do not like that. Otherwise - great

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I don't think that the look is exaggerated at all. I'd say Disney nailed it.Idk how I feel about the exaggerated look of an impoverished African town, but there is no doubt that the themeing looks great!!
The pride rock w/ a lion king dark ride really would have made this complete, but perhaps it would have added too much fantasy to it
And Idk why but i just love the touch of the cannon!
These are pictures from Mwanza, Tanzania taken in the past month by my missionary Auntie. I have 100 more just like them.
And yes, a Lion King themed family dark ride would have been the icing on the cake in this area.
20 years since the film's release, and no ride?!? Seems like a natural fit. Especially at DAK.

Nicely done. Applause!
Again, it's one of those ovations with the caveat 'for what it is' . . .
They did it quickly, and they did it well. So glad my favorite stage show in WDW has
a new, appropriate, and detailed venue.

It's nice to see that a least some of the queue is under cover.

Let's not pretend they don't build at a snails pace uphill on an average construction job. SDMT is a special case and a poor one to assume @ssaamm is referring to.
Sure, it shows that "they can build things right and well-themed when given the budget and room to operate."
But it also shows "they can build things quickly when they want."

I was just comparing the new version with the old one on Youtube, and I didn't see any major changes. One thing I noticed in the new video is that in some scenes the elephant float has a real waterfall on the front, which I didn't see in the two video I looked at of the old one. I also think the lighting looks better in the new version, I particularly noticed this in the Can You Feel the Love Tonight segment.
when I was there today I looked at it and it looked like it would go where Pandora is going

You have to give credit to Disney...It's really really rare that an attraction comes back (even if it's a 3D movie from the 80's) when they close down that's it...I applaud for all the work they did making this move to Harambe and the return of one of the Better shows on Property and the heavy theming/detail....

Well, the plan all along was to create a new theater in Africa if they used the CMM area
