The design of the bear reminds me of Bongo from Fun and Fancy Free.

I love these details in the windows for Critter Co-Op so much:
It looks like Lari "borrowed" this stick for the Y being that he's holding it — fits his character description perfectly.
Another fun Lari detail — this pair of shoes that's size 243 is probably the pair he stole from Claude or Bernadette, going off this sentence mentioning paws:
I hear he has a habit of “borrowing” things that aren’t his (although those things eventually make it into the right “paws”).
I am a big fan of Lari already.

I agree it's a bit off-putting at first, but when I removed the vocals while listening- the bluegrass cover of DINO sounds great on its own. I hope they don't have the lyrics of the song off-ride, because just the music is enough and wouldn't contrast with the Frontierland loop music. I think that's what's throwing it off a bit.

My guess would be a Turtle, a Beaver, a Raccoon, and an Otter/Frog? I feel like those characters would be the most "cuddly" for people to keep around over a Gator or Opossum.

I love this so much too. Better than the official poster of the attraction- this a great hand-drawn poster with a lot of detail featuring original characters that fit the vibe of PATF/Splash. I was so on the wall during the construction of this project, fearing they'd cheap out on the details and immersion Splash had in favor of screens, but now since they've started unveiling some of the animatronics, artwork, music, and greater theming to the area- I'm more on-board than ever and cannot wait to see what the final product looks like with all of the effects running-especially at night. I still feel that not keeping the stump and retheming it to Mama Odi's tree as seen in the original concept was a cheap mistake to cut costs, but if they keep the mapping projections for the firefly effect on it at night- I really think this could turn out to be a beautiful retheme of an attraction.

They're selling toys of the turtle and the possum.
I'm liking most of the shop signage and decor but wish they'd have opted for something other than palm fronds and junglesque plant vegetation for the bulk of the Critter theming. It looks odd.

Interesting the banner on the mill house is still gone, maybe it’s gone for good

I don’t think it’s bluegrass. Sounds like it’s fully jazz to me. The original had a banjo in it, but it sounds like they did not include it with this “slightly altered” recording.

From the national cherry blossom festival parade this morning- notice the new TBA ears!
Are we sure that isn't the original? Sounds the same to me. For a change in flavor, I wonder how it would sound taking the original ditty but subbing in a honky-tonk piano, trombone, banjo, accordion, harmonica and synth kazoo. (critter sounds) Would it be overkill or would it better blend the themes of New Orleans and Old West? Anyone here a midi composer?

Quite often Disney “re-records” existing film soundtracks for the parks to get around paying music rights holders (like UMG) a cent. Can be something as simple as subbing out an instrument, or adding a new drum beat. That’s why it sounds so similar.
And for your second point, I’d love to see someone take a stab at it! There’s no bluegrass covers of the original. Kinda wish Disney went the extra mile like they did with Splash.

I wonder if they permanently removed the banner, or if they're just fabricating a new one from a more rigid material (like wood, plastic or something similar).

So what are the latest rumours on when this is gonna open? Does Disney even know at this point?
Sometime between now and when the sun explodes? Seriously, the rumored is any time between late May - early July.
