Apparently yesterday Louis was back on-line. Also, this log got both Mama Odie screens times perfectly. Hopefully that's a matter of them adjusting things and not just this log's luck. The second screen has been weird for a lot of logs from the beginning, but the first seemed good at first while more and more of late have been missing the effect of the magic spilling over completely.

To be able to see/hear the smaller band members you are trying to gather up. The frogs and the fireflies.
Now this yields the point that if we’re the “special spice” (invited guest) to the party anyway for which we’re going to get big again what was the point? Surely we’re not going to be able to really hear these tiny musicians anyway. Are we? It seems by the first scene in the bayou Louis and Tiana already found a big enough critter band to play at the celebration, but I digress.
I think at some point the story might actually have been about searching for a real cooking spice in the bayou for which the shrinking would have made more sense.

The picture is still quite blurry. However, assuming a treble clef (absent), assuming it's in F major (key signature absent), and assuming the durations in the first bar are four sixteenths, an eighth, and two sixteenths, it sounds like the attached.
[Welp, can't figure out how to attach sound file. If you know the major scale, just sing "la ti do do sol mi re do." It's not Zip.]
[ETA: Image was too blurry. Mistook noteheads for flags. Should be "la ti do do ti sol re do." Another poster identifies the song further below....]

Except the dialouge tells us none of that. If the pre dip-drop Tiana and Louis had said something like:
[Tiana] I heard music somewhere, but we just can't seem to find the critters playin' it!
[Louis] Hey Tiana! I think they're in this log! But I can't see 'em!
[Tiana] Hmmm...maybe Mama Odie can help us!
Still extremely simple dialogue but it sets up why we're shrinking down. Unlike right now where they say:
[Tiana] I hope they all come to play at the party! But we still need to explore more!
[Louis] How's this?!
[Odie] Time to think big! Time to get tiny! Tiny! Tiny! Tiny!
[Tiana] They sure can play! But we've got to keep searching high and low!
[Louis] How low can I go?!
[Odie] Talent's everything, if ya dig down deep enough!

TBA should’ve taken notes from Monster Mansion given the mandate that Facilier isn’t an option. Simply have the dip drop lead into a spookier section of the bayou with menacing/unfriendly critters, tons of gators, snakes, etc… & Mama Odie only appears at the very last minute to rescue you & send you down a shortcut. It’s as easy as that, & would’ve allowed them to include an ever greater variety of figures in the Laughin’ Place section

The text says "THE SWEETEST STORY EVER TOLD"
It's a Bing Crosby song
Specifically, it's 2:50 into the song. "For that's the sweetest story ever told"
Interestingly, "the sweetest story ever told" is often used to describe Cinderella, but this specifically is sheet music for the Bing Crosby song, which was released in 1945.

My understanding is that when Tiana says we have to keep searching "high and low," Mama Odie makes us small so we discover the frogs. Tiana wants to find more musicians, and when we find the frogs, she says this is the sound she has been craving, which completes the band. Tiana and Louis find us when we are as small as frogs, which is also when she realizes they are performing and can come to the party.

I would agree with the assessment that the story is simplistic yet not always clear in its presentation, with certain elements being belaboured and others not explicit enough. I don’t think such a complaint is contradictory.

Great video, but man if I was on the ride for the first time (or any time, really) and I had to listen to someone's commentary the entire ride I'd be super annoyed.

Great catch! I assumed it was "greatest," but that has religious overtones that don't quite fit.
The problem is that the pitches don't line up. Bing does sing it as it was composed in the 1890s, and it is close to how it appears on the box. I don't know why they would vary it the way they do, though. Here is the published sheet music:
The queue version is a reasonable embellishment of the melody, and I could imagine someone singing down the F triad at the end: C-A-F.

since when do pumpkins grow in the bayou though, as brought up in the commentary.

Never, ever doubt the ability of squash to grow wherever it damn well pleases. That way lies subsumed gardens.

That sheet music is how it's written on the box. They just cut "for that's"

In the queue, there was supposed to be a news article highlighting the controversy surrounding the Tiana's Foods Co-Op planting a non-native Pumpkin species into the bayou and how it might disrupt natural bayou growth and wildlife, but this was eliminated at the last minute due to budgetary concerns and fear that it might make Tiana look irresponsible.
