Ursula is basically the only thing to look at in that scene, so she's got a lot of detail and extra features to look at as you slowly move past. The Dwarfs, on the other hand will be in a mine "where a million diamonds shine", and will have several other characters in the same scene. They can 'cheat' and use less complex facial movements because you won't be focusing on the face for very long as your roller coaster car moves through the scene

    Plus, Ursula's face is probably about the size of an entire Dwarf. I'm not sure they could shrink all the mechanics down into a Dwarf-face-sized space

    I really like what WDI did with the new AAs. That's what I expect from WDI.

    Oh, and I suppose this is a spoiler, but most of you have probably already watched videos of the full ride-through of the attraction, and HauntedMansionFan did ask...so, yeah, it's really nice to see that they did include the wicked witch at least. I was surprised by that, and also surprised at how animated she was. That last cottage scene just made the whole attraction that much more adorable to me and I think this is a huge improvement over the dark ride. I think it gets the tone just right, and it's fun, detailed, and authentic to its source. I might not book a trip to WDW just for this, but I smiled as I watched the POV videos and thought Disney did a fantastic job on this attraction.

    Not sure if I agree with that, but at least it's a ridiculous name! : )

    :) Thank you.

    I was expecting a name like Snarky.
