Disney has today updated the webpage for the upcoming attraction, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, set to open in Magic Kingdom's Frontierland on June 28, 2024.

The updated webpage introduces Tiana's Bayou Adventure as an exhilarating musical journey featuring Princess Tiana and the jazz-loving alligator Louis.

"Bayou Thrills Meet Disney Magic
Embark on a thrilling journey with Tiana and jazz-loving alligator Louis as they traverse winding waterways to find critter musicians who can jam out and entertain at Tiana's southern soiree.

This musical adventure crescendos with a 50-foot drop that leads you to the grandest celebration this side of the Mississippi during Mardi Gras season! "

The webpage emphasizes the presence of movie characters from "The Princess and the Frog," including Princess Tiana, Louis the Alligator, Mama Odie, and Prince Naveen.

The updated page also introduces new friends, including a variety of musical critters like a Zydeco band, a Rara band, and an Afro-Cuban jazz band, each adding their unique sound to the bayou festivities.

Along with detailing the minimum rider height (40 inches), Disney also outlines the queue process.

"A virtual queue will be in place when Tiana's Bayou Adventure opens on June 28, 2024. Guests will need to use the My Disney Experience app to enter this attraction. A standby queue will not be available during the attraction's initial opening days. Each Guest can request to enter this virtual queue no more than once per day during regular park hours. Learn more about the virtual queue for this attraction.

Tiana's Bayou Adventure also features a Lightning Lane entrance that's offered through Disney Genie+ service (subject to availability)."

That's Mondo, making others look bad.....

The other frogs look incredibly cheap, especially in comparison to Mondo.

Mondo has 4 movements, the other frogs have 2 at most. Perhaps its because he's much larger than the others?

That's an insult to the artistry of Looney Tunes and the Warner Bros. cartoons. The Br'ers always gave me a "Warner Animation/MGM Studios" kind of vibe in how they're animated more expressively than the usual Disney fare.

It actually makes the new animatronics being mostly non functioning a lot of the time even more glaringly obvious because they have such limited movements anyway.

That's actually a really neat idea!!!!

Is it just me, or does Mondo look like a more advanced animatronic than the other "new" characters? I dunno, he just seems a bit more articulated...

I'd opine that they chose to leave the significant gaps, but that's just me.

The scenery and props were designed for the Disneyland space so they had to leave significant gaps for Disneyworlds longer flume.

Yes, there is little implied motion in any of these figures, or steps of figure. It's bad storyboarding.

The other issue I have with the animatronics on Bayou is that everyone is just standing/sitting firmly on the ground. There's no dynamic or interesting poses that allow for interesting animation. Splash had Br'er Rabbit jumping along the fence, Br'er Bear in the tree and thrashing around on his back, Br’er Fox springing up from the background, the Possum babies above the river hanging by their tails, turtles being lifted by geysers, the entire riverboat rocking back and forth... Everything on Bayou just looks so static in comparison. Edit - Forgot about Rufus the Turtle who bobs back and forth slightly. But it's still a very simple animation loop.

Curious enough I met Troy Landry at the Poly in 2020 while it was open just for DVC and diners. Nice fellow.

They also don't interact much with each other and are very self contained vignettes that don't build to anything. Think of the geese who's fishing line has nabbed another's hat, or the fish that jumps through the empty net. Think of the vultures looking at each other and finishing the other's sentence. Think of the rabbits commenting on the Brers chasing each other while a projection effect plays in the background. All of that is gone...and the heavier reliance of screens makes the new scenes look physically flat. The ride's soundtrack is doing the heavy lifting of giving life to the scenes, not their staging or animation.

Shelby would run them over with his boat so we escape over the falls!
