Skipper Felix gets animated as the trapped skipper scene is completed at the Jungle Cruise
See video of the new Jungle Cruise scene.

The recently installed "trapped skipper" scene at the Jungle Cruise now looks to be complete with the scene now animated and with audio effects.

The trapped safari of new characters, includes Felix Penchman XIII, the Skipper who led this expedition up a tree. Watch the video below for a look at the newly animated scene.

See the 4K video version of the new Jungle Cruise Trapped Skipper scene.

The new scene was installed overnight late last week.

The completed scene is a very close match for the concept art that was showed last year.

Disney announced back in January 2021 that it plans to update the Jungle Cruise with new additions to add "more humor, wildlife and skipper heart – and also reflect and value the diversity of the world around us."

The Jungle Cruise will be complete later this summer, and the ride will remain open throughout the work.

That looks great.
I need all plussing to be like this. What is the Imagineering team behind this?

I’d like some fried “mystery”.

A nice, non PR managed person from WDI posting on social media!

Yep. Some piranha schooling at that location would add quite a bit more interest to it. Looks good though.
I am extremely offended by those boats, they look like Pygmy boats and are extremely offensive because they relate to something in history and we all have to pretend history did not exist otherwise we will all die.
Nothing says uncharted jungle like a boat rental.
Soo... we get rid of the historically accurate pygmies but keep the boats and then put in a colonial expansion of a capitalist system.
This is an improvement? You'd have been far better off just retooling the cruise as part of Paradise Falls and then including Muntz' expeditions with cameos of Kevin.
I know it's not complete yet but not really liking this reworked boats scene. Looks like a last minute fix more so than an realized concept brought to fruition.

Would make sense since it's the only redone scene so far with no equivalent on the DL version.

Is that sarcasm or tin foil hats on your heads?

Or just snowflakes pretending to be upset by the changes?
