I hate this.
Another good decision, executed in entirely the wrong direction. CBJ needed some love, but Disney could have loved and livened it up with a remastered soundtrack, better speakers, some massaging of the script and lyrics to better adapt them to diverse audiences, and even some "new" stuff -- that would be new recordings of some old American folk standards celebrating the same brand of corny humor, to replace the blood/murder songs that we know are problematic. They could even create some seasonal versions of the show that would close with an old-timey holiday song and a special lighting package. They could update the old animatronics to reduce the squeaking and clacking and synch up mouth movements with the music better.
Instead, I've got to steel myself for "L.L. McGrowl," post-legal-name-change-and-lip-reduction-surgery, crooning, "The Family Madrigal" to a synthesized beat, followed by Big Al's rock 'n' roll rendition of "Let It Go," and a special appearance by Trixie, singing, "Tears Will Be The Chaser For Your Coca-Cola, The Official Soda Brand of Walt Disney World," performed while wearing a tasteful shirt. (Pleasepleaseplease let this be hyperbole.)
