Walt Disney Imagineering has teased the final group of musical creatures for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, a new attraction at Disney parks.
Previously, Imagineering has unveiled the the critters playing Zydeco music and Rara music in the new ride, which is inspired by 2009 film The Princess and the Frog.
As we know, guests will take a musical trip through the bayou with Tiana, Naveen and Louis. They will also meet audio-animatronic animals playing songs from the film, including ‘Gonna Take You There’.
In a new blog post, Ted Robledo, executive creative director at Imagineering, said the latest band of musical animals will “bring the jazzy sounds and complex rhythms of Afro-Cuban music to life in the bayou”.
These new critters include Felipe the frog on the piano, Mayra the frog playing the trumpet, Mondo the frog on the conga drums, and Isabel the American green tree frog, who also plays the congas.
Additional characters to appear in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure are Gloria the frog, Delores the frog, and Lari the armadillo.
New ride opens at Disney parks this year
Previously, Disney has unveiled critters including black bears playing horns, a bobcat on the vaksin instrument, and a raccoon who plays the squeezebox.
“Speaking of critters big and small, you’ll meet them throughout the attraction, and some really are… big, with an even bigger personality,” Robledo added.
Set after the events of The Princess and the Frog, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure replaces the Splash Mountain log flume ride. It debuts at Walt Disney World this summer, and later this year at Disneyland.
