Overview
- Soft-opening performances are underway at the Tree of Life Theater, with Annual Passholder previews set for November 5–6 and the full public debut on November 7.
- The preview virtual queue offers two daily drops at 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., with the morning window requiring a Disney’s Animal Kingdom reservation and the afternoon not requiring one.
- The attraction replaces It’s Tough to Be a Bug! and presents a nine-minute, family-focused 4D experience using CarrotVision 3D glasses, wind and water effects, scents, seat rumbles, and rodent scurry moments.
- A new Benjamin Clawhauser Audio-Animatronic features in the theater, and original voice actors Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman return, with creative input from Byron Howard and Jared Bush.
- Early reactions describe a bright, kid-friendly show that removes the predecessor’s scares, with some reviewers questioning its thematic fit with Animal Kingdom’s conservation-centered setting.
