There were about 55 figures in WDWs Splash that were genuine animatronics. About 17-18 in the finale alone. About 75 genuine animatronics at Disneyland's version, 26 of which were in its finale. All of those characters on the riverboat for instance were the real deal and had a very good range of movement when maintained. There weren't as many simple ones as you'd think, those were mostly relegated to things such as the spinning beehives, tiny hanging possums, and a couple of the Brer Bears (despite his large size, he's already a slow moving character, so they were somewhat able to make it work for him). But even a lot of the smaller critters such as the bullfrogs had quite a lot of dynamic motion to them (swivel, bobbing up and down, eyelids, mouths that were synced to the lyrics).
If Tiana only has about 17ish figures that could be considered genuine animatronics (a1000 or not), while the rest are relegated to something akin to that Beaver figure with only 2-3 axes of repetitive canned motion, we'd definitely have a problem. I don't think there are only 17, but we'll see.
