I don't understand why they would do the ride at MK. Sure DL makes sense because of New Orleans Square, but not my precious MK.

Brers Rabbit, Fox and Bear aren't returning I'm sure. Not without significant reskins beyond clothing at least, but I could see them just scrapping them entirely. It's the American Sings figures that I was told would remain.
Louis is getting a new state of the art figure.

Because Disney wants to hide Song of the South away from the Americans.
They're retheming both, it's just Disneyland has too many E-Tickets down for refurb (Indy, HM, Grizzly River and Big Thunder in April) to shut theirs down right now.

If you're in charge of MK I call dibs on AK.

I'm claiming EPCOT. Sorry if my projects cut into the budgets for yall's parks, but I kind of need it a hell of a lot more than you guys as i'm sure you'd imagine. Horizons 2.0 ain't gonna pay for itself. Well actually it might with all of the nostalgic merch we'll be able to push...

But even then, there are so many other possibilities for Frontierland, including trying it into BTMRR and morphing that area into an incarnation of Thunder Mesa.
You don’t need to carelessly plop 1920s New Orleans into a land meant for the 1800s old west.

If we're claiming parks, I guess I'll take Hollywood Studios. That park still needs a lot.
Because people online demanded it and the people running the Disney corporation are cowards. That's why.
I already claimed HS, but I guess you can have it on odd days, I'll take it even days.
I wonder if this is a subtle look at the new CM outfits when Splash reopens?I don't know exactly how many new figures they're making. Tiana and Naveen will no doubt appear several times throughout the ride. Same with Louis. Mama Odie should also have at least one or two figures. There's over 15 new characters that will appear in both the new D+ series as well as this ride. Over half a dozen of which are probably the new human characters seen in the black and white "photo" art for the ride. So I expect those to appear at least once during the ride (if not multiple times).

I don't know what's happening, but I call Blizzard Beach.
I'm not privy to just how animated those audio-animatronics will be in order to make the distinction. What I know is they are not static or moving figures, which the ride will also have a number of. The 20 something advanced audio-animatronics will be the stars of the show. Only a handful of them are for Tiana, Naveen and Mama Odie. Louis has a few. The rest are of some of the critters.
If said new characters from the food company make an appearance in the ride, they're surely not among the 20 something advanced audio-animatronics. Also, I have a feeling the otter is actually one of the those few advanced figures.
Excuse me, but I'm the President of DAK!!

You didn't call dibs quick enough. Baby Yoda will have to go somewhere else. Penguins are allowed, but only living non-animated ones without clothes. Maybe RunForestRun can find a spot for the Poppins ones over in MK.
While we're at it, i'll be greedy and also call dibs on Disney Springs. I won't tell anyone what I plan to do with it though.

Sir, please review the parks’ history before making such audacious claims! He has been the president of DAK for well over two years, and as noted below, with seemingly unanimous support!You didn't call dibs quick enough. Baby Yoda will have to go somewhere else. Penguins are allowed, but only living non-animated ones without clothes. Maybe RunForestRun can find a spot for the Poppins ones over in MK.

A new member passing themselves off as an insider made the mistake of referring to "the president of DAK," which doesn't have a president, but a vice president. They were mocked for that flub.
So, for a while, I put "President of Animal Kingdom" as my avatar's subtitle. I stopped doing that when some members of the forum actually thought I was the president of DAK.

They're supposedly creating over 15 completely new characters for this ride that will eventually be part of the D+ series. I assume not all of which are going to be animals, and some of which are probably those employees in the "photo". They'll probably appear at the end and/or beginning of the ride if I would venture a guess. Since the interior is probably mostly Tiana, Louis and the musical critters. I would be surprised if none of those new humans were proper animatronics, while a lot of the new animals are. Whether they're included among the most advanced in the ride, I don't know.
Something to note is that animatronics don't have to contain the latest A-1000 tech to look good. Even relatively ancient and "primitive" animatronics from the 60s-80s can look good and have a decent range of motion. When Splash Mountain is/was being maintained properly (something only Tokyo Disneyland does anymore), the old America Sings figures have a great range of motion and can appear very fluid. The "compliance" software tech Disney developed in the late 80s also dramatically upped the game in making less rigid and janky motion. I think older figures can be retrofitted with compliance too. Incidentally, it's also easy to mess the process up in the inverse and make an "advanced" figure look and move like crap if the artists/animators don't know what they're doing (like the Ariel AA's).
The Otter appears capable of a significant range of motion based on the poses in the diagram. Though I need to see him in motion for the full extent. Quite a number of the more advanced America Sings figures can perform similar poses to what that diagram shows. Though the Otter seems like he has extra axes in the eyebrows.
