News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

[ConfettiCupcake]

It would be nice if Disney's diversity and inclusion initiative would also build in role models for young men and boys. Something like a well-written Prince movie; instead of this fascination focusing solely on princesses. All the boys have no ware side-kicks and hangers on (the current princes), a drunk (Cpt. Sparrow) and two plastic toys that are memed to be named after adult toys. With Marvel and Star Wards 'princess-ifizing' their brands there is nothing more to cater to males.

I will not stand for this Cars erasure.

An armadillo that only appears thrice, taking off 80% of said attraction.

My favorite thing in the backstory is that imagineering did some amazing field work to “validate” that armadillos in fact live in the bayou. Thank goodness they took that one picture of an armadillos. Otherwise lari would have been missing.

Armadillos in the bayou you say? Poppycock!

Also if each animal has a unique personality, I can’t really tell because they all are smiling and all they do sway. None of that backstory translated into anything visually.

And if lari is such a great character (and I understand that he’s referenced in notes and things on bulletin boards) but there should be some visual, non text, clues of his scavenging in the queue and more times where his head occasionally slowly pops out around a tree stump or from the ceiling or with a snorkel or their favorite animated in the background screens. What could have been a fun I spy game now just begs the question what is this giant angry looking armadillo doing here?
