Haha haven’t seen it but I’ve heard terrible things about the song.

Ive never taken the time to rank the old Splash AAs but aesthetically speaking this was probably one of my least favorite AAs on the entire ride.

They were replaced by plastic. Acres and acres of plastic. Made from petroleum. Blessed by chemists. Presented by Monsanto!

I'm mixed on this, and am inclined to be disappointed in this.
Using the America Sings animatronics in Splash is somewhat justifiable, as Marc Davis did the character designs for both AS and SotS, and the similarities are apparent.
Marc Davis/the characters have nothing to do with Tiana. Not to mention, the animatronics haven't been consistently maintained in over a decade- will Tiana's Bayou look run down and poorly maintained soon after opening?

Just bumping this, as I’d also like some clarification on that Instagram poster.

For me it’s some of the only positive news I’ve heard recently. I’d like for as many of those AAs to survive and stay where they are. I want as much of Splash to survive and as many anthropomorphic animals as possible. I still don’t know if we can trust this guy is an imagineer but assuming it’s true it’s great to know it won’t just be a bunch of human AA’s with that one critter band and a few Louis’ scattered throughout. If they are indeed keeping some of the old Splash AAs then it tells me that they are making an attempt at keeping it a whimsical experience and not getting too carried away with “story” and what kind of animals exist in Tiana’s world. The animals in that critter band in the concept aren’t anthropomorphic so it’s interesting to see they might be keeping some of the Splash AAs around.
The best news so far however is that TBA will be part of Critter Country and not NOS according to the new train spiel.

If they are reusing existing animatronics, I think that's great!
Of course, they will be refurbished inside and out for the new attraction I have no doubt.
If this is really happening, I am feeling hopeful about this attraction as we will be getting new animatronics as well as reusing old animatronics!
When the retheme was first announced, I honestly thought it was only being done to cut maintenance costs by greatly reducing the animatronics.
I am very glad to be wrong.

Oh that’s a good point. They could just be reusing the robot but the way his post was worded implies that the character will be sticking around.

Fine with me, I am sure they will refurbish the character to look like new for the new attraction.

haha. I don't have the concept art in front of me but they're also going with the tall wispy grass right? Not sure that variety comes in Astroturf haha. It'll either have to be real or they'll use plants

Oh, good grief. Yes, I suppose that ruins it because Disney NEVER EVER repurposes art elsewhere.
It’s a great drawing of Louis. I don’t care if it has or has not been used before. I don’t even care if it’s another !?!$& Instagram wall. I think it’s nice (dammit) and captures the mood they’re trying to convey very well.

It looks corporate, cheesy, and corny. You’re allowed to like it. I just don’t.Oh, good grief. Yes, I suppose that ruins it because Disney NEVER EVER repurposes art elsewhere.

It looks Disney. It kinda looks like a freeway billboard, I’ll give you that.

I really don't like how generic the new AAs look for the ride.
There is nothing remotely interesting about these animals, they seem like literal background characters from a mid-2000's Dreamworks Animation film.

I think they’re fine, and, of course, we’re still just looking at concept art.
