Personally have to say I love this Audio-Animatronics style, hope this is the new trend and not the weird Frozen Ever After style.

They also seem obsessed with 'projections' domestically, which have almost always underwhelmed me.

This looks really good, but I just think It's ridiculous to place these much better and new attractions overseas- this is a perfect fit for either Fantasyland or even Hollywood studios in Florida. Seriously Disney- put some real effort in the US parks PLEASE.

Ditto.

What I hope they NEVER do, is an update to Carousel of Progress with these new animatronics. We NEED to keep the perspective of advancing technology and what better way than to contrast old and new together?

Looks amazing. If they actually brought this to the Magic Kingdom, can they build it behind the current Beauty and the Beast restaurant (with access from the restaurant)? Or is there something important back there?

There's a service road immediately behind BOG and Under the Sea - Journey of the Little Mermaid, which also services HM, IASW and everything else in Fantasyland. On the other side of that road (north) there is a retaining pond and a wooded pad of land that probably "could" be used for another show building. The northern boundary of that area is the railroad track. So there's space to put something else back there, but it would require some rework of what is seen from the train as well as coming up with a way to get guests across the service road without breaking the show. They've done all of that before, though, so it's not outside the realm of possibility.

That said, I don't see them bringing this to WDW for many, many years, if ever. Too many other things already in the works at WDW for the next 5-8 years, and they already have BatB is already represented at MK by 2 attractions. 3 if you count Gaston's.

Watching that, it took me a moment to realize those were the actual animatronics I was seeing and not animation. They move so smoothly and life-like. Even the horse animatronics! Amazing!
