When I first heard the story, I didn’t actually mind the “find band members” portion since the start of Splash was also pretty light-hearted. What I don’t get is the whole, “we will shrink you down for 90 seconds and then make you big again.” It is so forced and also doesn’t make much sense following a movie where it actually wasn’t that simple to get a small thing big again. Apparently Mama Odie can just do that?
When I was told the story, I wondered aloud why they wouldn’t just have the story be:
1) help Tiana find members of her band (cute critters and fireflies)
2) boat accidentally transported into The Other Side during the double dip (keep the fun vortex effect they made)
3) replace Laughing Place with Friends from the Other Side
4) have that impressive Mama Odie AA pull guests out of The Other Side with that same vortex effect from the double dip used on the lift hill
5) end at the party you found the critters for
The “shrink for 90 seconds” portion is supposed to create some drama leading to a climax but 90 seconds isn’t enough time for that. They should have just used the demons from the film since the drama is baked in there. They don’t even need Facilier if they insist he’s dead even though they seemingly kept vocals from the very dead Ray in the ride.
