Meeting new critters and gators
On our Cajun Encounters tour, we saw so many gators along with turtles, raccoons, birds, and more. Here’s a look at us seeing them out in the wild and maybe not under the friendliest of circumstances. Real gators aren’t as nice as the movie’s Louis the Gator, and might consider eating his critter friends. Circle of life, am I right?
Imagineers told us that more wildlife, including an otter, a rabbit, a raccoon, a beaver, an opossum, and frogs will be featured alongside band leader Louis from the film. Executive creative producer Charita Carter shared, “We have 17 new characters and all of those characters will be represented as audio animatronics—and then of course, what we call our hero characters. But then the main characters, like Tiana and Naveen and of course Louis, will all be physical animatronics,” she said. “And of course Mama Odie!” she added, noting that the beloved hoodoo priestess would not be left out; in fact, her magic may have a big part in the experience.
