Man, I saw this once, when I was like 5 (must have been the last year they had it maybe, ha), and I never totally forgot it. Wish they still had it. I love/miss these kinds of shows!

@DaisyDutches Some of the animatrons were also stripped down to the bones and used on the Star Tours rides. Not as the driving robots, but as the mechanic robots that you see when you're waiting in line (if you ever get the chance, check out the coincidentally webbed-looking feet of the suspiciously duck-like robots). The WDW version is still running; if it wasn't, there'd be an all-out massacre, lol! But the reason the movie wasn't released is because of the racial tones.

Wow, I feel dumb! I read about this attraction once, but I kept looking it up under Song of the South (movie the characters were kind of based on, in design at least). Did they do the same songs for every show, or was it changed up for different seasons/occasions?

@anglerfly Wait! I got mixed up, my brain was confused lol, they look so similar, It's very close to CBJ but its not, America Sings replaced The Carousel of Progress in Disneyland in 1974. Has the same style of singing and dancing animatronic animals, but it closed in 1988 unfortunately, SM is definitely still there! promise lol

I showed this to my grandfather who is 85 and he was singing along to this whole video and his face lit up as he watched it , bringing back many memories, as this was my uncles favorite ride and he died , so it made him feel closer to him. THANK YOU for this great video!
