For some reason these murals seem really out of place to me when you think of how they're gonna look inside Disneyland and Critter Country. I'm just glad they did not do murals on the walls of New Orleans Square when that was built.

Yikes. Where is that going to be, the barn? It’s authentic though and totally thematically appropriate because an artist from New Orleans did it. Somebody quick get Banksy to do some Graffiti art on Toad Hall in Fantasyland!

It's what you're looking at on the outside of the barn as you wind around the switchbacks outdoors.

Was this painted by the children of the employees? Perhaps the employees who own the employee owned Tianas Food (which in turn supplies Tianas Palace) voted to NOT hire an artist and have their children paint the co-op.

I get not liking it, but suggesting it's done by children is a pretty cheap insult.

Yeah, to children.
Nah, this looks great. It's like I've been transported straight to Haiti.

I didn't say it looked great. There are many shades of grey between "A child could have painted that" and "I think it's wonderful!"

Ok. So how do you make it fit thematically then?

I've already noted in the WDW thread that it doesn't really fit all that well thematically. But that's totally unrelated to saying it looks like something a child painted.

A child didn't actually paint this, but it sure looks like it.
Perhaps this is just an American thing, but every local elementary school has a mural much like this one in their playground area on any empty cement wall. The form and characters are sketched out, and then the kids help paint it in. It's never actually good looking art, but at least it's colorful and livens up a blank cement wall along the tetherball courts.
And the kids have fun painting, as any kid would.
That said, I have absolutely no idea how any of this mural art fits in to the story of this log ride, or Critter Country, or New Orleans Square, or anything I know about the Princess & The Frog movie, which I enjoyed. This just looks modern and tacky, in my opinion. It has nothing to do with Princess Tiana. Or does it now? If so, I'm not impressed.
