I like it more after seeing an unedited POV.

Over the last few years Disney’s pushed more than a few subpar projects direct to streaming.

I'm really confused about the soundtrack.... Disney released a whole video and multiple press releases gassing themselves up about all the new music, how it was so well thought-out for the "storytelling" and "immersion," etc. All of this great new music must be in the queue or something, because the integration of songs in the ride itself feels thoughtless. If they really wanted to use "Gonna Take You There," they could've recorded a new version instead of having it sung by a dead character. Maybe they could've even added some new plot-relevant lyrics, like Splash did for "How Do You Do." "Special Spice" sounds like it was written before the reported shift from the secret ingredient plot to the critter band stuff, it really has no connection to the ride as-is. And why is it proceeded by an instrumental version of "Almost There"? Speaking of "Almost There," why is the sung-through movie version played in a scene where Tiana isn't even present? Is the music supposed to be diegetic or not??? AHHHHHHH

The graphics of the stuff "posted" on the board are not in keeping with the time period they are trying (failing) to invoke.

Yeah, most of what's on that board is wildly anachronistic.

agree. but you can see some better depth in some of the scenes...not that thats saying much, but just saying its worth a view for that.

I tried watching his video but he has his own music overlayed on top of the actual audio in the ride. Probably for copyright or something. I finally had to quit watching. Was hoping for another 3rd party video. This ain't it.

What we can finally see with our own eyes today, is nothing short of a travesty. Disney can’t hide behind their crap co-op storyline nonsense to confuse everyone. We can see it and it’s BAD. The Tokyo version should absolutely be preserved. I think we will see more and more Stateside Disney fans traveling to Tokyo, as the parks here continue their descent into mediocrity.

The things posted on the board could (and should) look a lot better than they do.

Because the ride stands on it's own. The movie? Banned. The merch? Now banned. It's unkillable, and they blew it massively.

Tiana is throwing a party at her home for the city of New Orleans - Tiana's Foods is catering. I mean, it's a Cork Board. What should it look like?

Only Joe can answer that question with his years of experience, glad he is consulting with the company again

Really makes you appreciate how perfectly set-up the drop was in the original ride... the fun and frivolous laughing place transitioning into the warning (using the same song in a minor tone), then the ominous vultures, the "don't throw me into the briar patch" reverse psychology, then the jubilant escape with the zip-a-dee-do-da music... it really was a brilliant sequence...
