Okay, does this count as a spoiler? There's a comment on the official Disney POV that is, like, "why is Tiana dressed like a zookeeper?!" And I just about CRIED laughing

“More fleshed out”
“Multiple moods”
Can’t these shills try harder? Do they think we’re blind and deaf? There is literally one mood in Tiana. Happy. And maybe happier. More fleshed out with what? Trees and grass?
Also thanks for reminding me that I need to cancel my subscription to her Patreon. Im officially a $1 a month richer.

Calling the sets “more fleshed out” is crazy. There’s less figures and less set pieces to look at (now that everything is covered with fake plants and darkness). Not to mention, very few animatronics are engaging in any sort of action or activity like the characters of Splash were. It’s just the critters that are playing the instruments.

That’s honestly insulting the intelligence of your audience as are many of these vloggers in the theme park community.
It doesn’t even make sense to frame the praise that way. When have you ever heard someone say “I really liked it, it had multiple moods.” Lol. That comment is a direct rebuttal to the thousands of us that say it’s monotone and missing the suspense/ antagonist. In other words, it’s not that she really had any genuine praise. Her praise and review is framed as a rebuttal to the complaints. And it’s transparent.

While I am skeptical of a lot of people who seemed pre-determined to prefer the new one,I think it also just may highlight how people nowadays have much more of an emotional attachment to the Princess and the Frog characters than the Song of the South animated characters. While a lot of us diehard Disney fans have either seen the movie or know the story of the movie, I'm beginning to realize that the vast majority of park guests under 40 didn't really comprehend the story. The Brer Rabbit story was as well-told as a book report ride could be, but because most park guests have no familiarity with the Brer Rabbit character, it doesn't emotionally move them the way Tiana's Bayou Adventure seems to be doing for a lot of younger fans. If Tiana's Bayou Adventure ends up being preferred to Splash Mountain, it will almost certainly be due to the inherent strength of the IP it was based on.

I think that probably can help describe why some 30 and under year old Disney park enthusiasts or casual fans might prefer TBA ( or at least pretend to like it more or get swept into the hype of a new ride) but not most of these vloggers. At least not the ones I’ve pointed out. They re older and/ or know too much and we have enough data on them to be able to call out the BS.

My inner dialogue when I had to unsubscribe from some DL parks vloggers on YouTube I’ve been following:
Me: I can’t be subscribed to these shills
Other Me: But you might miss out on some good content and you like most of their other stuff
Me: What good content? Everything Disney has done lately pi$$es me off and that’s what they report on.
[ clicks on Unsubscribe button ]
Out of principle I cannot support anyone that shills and insults people’s intelligence. Even if I like the majority of their content.

Yeah, what the heck are those holes about? Are they there to help anchor clothes on or something?
I guess the Imagineers thought nobody would notice. More fools they. Everything gets photographed and picked apart these days. Every flaw is detected. There is no avoiding our scrutiny. No escape. We see you, Imagineers! We see the open mechanisms in AA joints that you didn't bother to hide! We see the holes in Tiana's arms and the dirty brown water the Briar Patch used to cover up! We see it all, and you shall not be spared our judgement! Our contempt! Our ridicule! Bwahahahahaa!!!
Anyway, this is really bad show, dudes.

It’s downright illogical. I can understand praise for the animatronics or some of the lighting. But not stuff the ride objectively misses out on.
She leaked the entire Laughing Place replacement down to the last detail. She’s well connected.
I think it’s funny because I’m within the age group the film was made for when it came out. I didn’t care for it, and most of my peers didn’t either. I like it a lot now, but that’s because I have it a chance later on. Most of the people that seem to be a big fan of this retheme are squarely in their 30s.

Lol even if the holes were covered up they would still look glossy, plasticky and bad. It’s a little harder to pull off human being figures that close up especially when you are cheaping out like that. Wasn’t a problem when the AAs were fur and feather covered animals. These figures are not good enough for an E ticket especially when you consider how close they are placed to the riders.

The Poseidon video... was a shocker. I'd seen the deepening negativity of his thumbnails and thought he'd gone full hater-for-clicks as I see so much of on the platform. I've gotten used to seeing a lot of those, basically anything that plasters the picture of Mickey crying from Walt's death in front of whatever the project of the day is or morphs female star characters' faces into crying or scowling or both.
I disagree with his dismissal of plenty of people at the start, but... I don't know how this doesn't disprove the dismissal of every positive review as pay-for-play. People can like this. Some people like stuff. It is what it is. Not everyone has to be lying. I've watched plenty of people who say something I completely disagree with and I laugh off their terrible judgement and move on without excising them from my life on such a minor matter.
You know what makes me kinda chuckle? It's not a defense of dumbing down. It's not a dismissal of criticism. It's just a thought that popped into my head as rage flew back and forth over the retheme of a water flume, a step back at perspective of life and the way things are... I wonder if our cries of things being dumbed down with the simple dialogue and the lack of varied tension in a dark ride are exactly how people sounded forty years ago about the beautiful and detailed experience of the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland the whole family could enjoy, a jewel of Golden Age Disneyland getting replaced by a stupid roller coaster because everything needs to be thrills and these kids these days can't sit still for thirty minutes.
Yes, there's nuance, and if there's one thing I do it's defend the existence of nuance, but it just seems like a funny parallel to me. It's the true circle of life.

When the perception is pushed that everyone is on the take, you have to try to suggest you're not.
When everyone starts calling their take "honest", the line will move again.
It's like how "in the house" became "flippity floppity floop".

I rode it more than once and didn’t notice the
holes. I think you’re right about how much gets scrutinized though. I agree they should have done something to ensure the holes wouldn’t be visible even in pictures.

He's obviously not a Disney shill like others who want to keep getting invites, but it felt to me that Possedian falls squarely on one side of the political fence and this colored his review...just my pure speculation, but he really worked hard to gloss over so many problems he normally takes issue with.
Of course he could have simply liked it, but his reasoning seemed weak and was easily torn apart in comment after comment.
