She probably just had some dental work done and the Novocaine hadn't worn off yet.
Don't you hate it when that happens?

I can't get Novacaine at the dentist without worrying that if I talk I am going to slobber and sound like Bill Cosby in that famous routine from his '80s HBO special (called "Himself," I think) that ran over and over during my teen years...

Not sure when it started, but GMR now has a slightly updated version of the finale film:

I rode it in Mid-February and it seemed to be what that is. However, to be honest, I do not retain the entire thing, but, almost all of it seemed like I had seen it before it "movie ride" context.

Digital upgrade? What actually changed?

Would make sense to move to digital, it's odd that they took time to convert the old montage if the plan is to replace it.
I couldn't see any content differences in this new version: comparison between this and a youtube video from a year ago (You might have to fidget a bit to get them more in sync). Besides it looking like the old version cut out a tiny bit of the lower portion of film.

Yeah, don't see anything new there, unless I'm missing something. The most recent film is the first Narnia movie... and that was ages ago.
Believe me, you'll know when the edit has changed 'cause you'll see Anna and Elsa in there. It's required by Disney Law, don't you know?

You know, I apologize, you are absolutely correct. Side by side they look identical. Having probably been on the ride a hundred times, I could have sworn something looked different, like a clip here or there. Guess not! Either my mind is playing tricks on me or I've been unnoticeably dozing off in the finale for years and that's why things appear new...

When I went in early Feb., not only was everything working well, some of the animatronics and effects that've been immobile for awhile were working. Everything looked great.

They need to save space for the new Han Solo bit where he goes "We're home"...

There still seems to be a bit of flickering for something Digital. It certainly looks more pristine than usual, though

Digital doesn't eliminate flicker. Any time you have two separate pieces of technology with their own frame rates (projector and hand-held camera) you're bound to get some form of flickering unless they're locked together or adjusted in some way.
The one thing I have to say about the YouTube video though is that the video camera's stabilization function was making for some odd-looking zooms in a few places.

Narnia LW&W came out for the 2005 holiday season. I thought, "No way was this updated." As much as I liked the LW&W, it doesn't deserve the time and space in that montage almost 10 years later. I understand Disney wanted to promote the film at the time, but they don't even produce the series anymore.
Secondly, and I don't know when this changed; but that cheap CGI flyover of Hollywood at the end of the montage looks bad.

It certainly doesn't deserve to be paired with a scene from The Wizard of Oz.
It's really too bad about the Narnia films. I still think they should have been animated - traditionally animated. And the movies left much too much out from the Narnia books, especially Prince Caspian. Little of the magic and lyricism of the books wound up on the screen. Having said that, I might take a look at "The Silver Chair" when it comes out...if Puddleglum looks right.

I think that TCM will hopefully kick Disney in the a$$ to get their AA's working, as there is no reason to team up with Disney, to redo videos, but still have a somewhat broken down ride.
I guess this is the accountant-businessman side of me, but I do hope it happens.
