I don't think it has enough of the previous Tiki Room (original or "Get the Fever"), but at least it's not as bad as "Under New Management" with it's sarcastic approach.

Originally Posted By The Goddess Mara I saw it a few times back in October. No pre-show (which makes it the only Tiki Room at any Disney park without one). That sucks. The show is VERY short. It ends so quickly that people seem surprised it's over and they are slow in leaving. That sucks. Not enough music ... not enough show. It pretty much sucked.
Originally Posted By MsYumiBr Thanks for the update! I look forward to seeing it on our next visit. Maybe they dropped the Tiki song because they got tired of people singing along in English. Just kidding. I really enjoyed the Elvis bird version even if I was the only one in my family to halfway understand what the birds were saying.
Originally Posted By Malin I'm waiting to catch this attraction in person before I coment but from what I have seen and read I am not impressed. Now I have nothing against Stitch, but the show appears to be to short and I really dislike the fact it doesn't include the Tiki Room music number, its like having Pirates, Haunted Mansion or Small World without there signature songs. I seem to recall a scene where the birds are wearing fake blue Stitch ears which seems silly and fake looking, and I also think the show could do with a pre show. The Stitch AA looks a very cool, but the overall creative direction sucks. I will coment further when I see the show in person. Mr X would love to know what you think?

Originally Posted By SpokkerJones "Monsters Inc. in Tomorrowland" At least they spend the dough to make the thing look spectacular. They built the actual factory from the movie. It was incredible even when it was half constructed.
Originally Posted By The Goddess Mara It does look incredible. It's even more amazing to look at the overhead image on Google Earth and see how enormous the show building is--much bigger than you imagine just by looking at the front of it. Can't wait to see it in 6 weeks!

If that doesn't work, just go to Live Search: <a href="http://maps.live.com/" target="_blank">http://maps.live.com/</a> and download the program, then go back and type in Tokyo Disneyland. You'll be able to find the building just to the left of World Bazaar. The building appears to be as big as Space Mountain and slightly larger than Star Tours

I don't see a spot large enough for the show building!

Originally Posted By The Goddess Mara There are all kinds of things they could have done, but it seems they did the least expensive thing possible by using a dupe of an existing AA.
Originally Posted By mstaft Just watched the video. I really like the opening song, but the story is bad. No way around it.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 I have a question about the ending of the show. Since I understand only a little Japanese, I want to see if what happens is what I think happens. At the end, when the show is "over", are the birds commenting on how they can't seem to move from their pirches? It sounds like they realize their feet are glued to them, and then they all yell out "Stitch!", because they realize he did it as a prank. Is that what happens? I'm just curious...
