Welcome to the WDW News Today podcast. My name is Eric Morton. With me is Tom Corliss.

And thanks for joining us on this happy Tuesday

on a week where lots of stuff is going on. It's a crazy week. Are you excited, Tom?

No. No, I'm very anxious because it's work and like our thing is like...

What if you miss something? Yeah, you got to get it quick and first and it's very stressful. So I'll be...

Next week I'll be much happier. You already got Soren. Soren's done. You kind of liked it. Yeah, I thought it was good. I think it was great. I thought it was good. You didn't like it? No. What did you hate about it? I felt like they weren't listening, but I think maybe they do listen just not to the concerns

I had, which is heavy CGI.

Yeah.

And my number one thing, I don't like animals acknowledging my presence.

I don't need the polar bear to stand up with its mom and like look at me.

And I don't need, so should the animal just be unfazed by six hang glider

full of people without shoes on flying over it's a CGI animal yes it can it is a fake animal so

you're flying over Alaska probably Denali or someplace there and a moose looks up and is like, hey, guys.

No, I enjoy the moose is not.

The polar bears are pretty egregious.

I don't think the moose was that bad.

He's just kind of there.

And then he like makes a noise.

Like, yeah.

And then I'm like, oh, this is a nice little view of the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River you're going. And his bird's like, coming through, squawk! And it's like, I'm a bald eagle, right? I'm a fake eagle. Like, grok, I just don't like that, man. And I think there were a couple things that just- Is that ruin the whole thing, though? It's not that it ruins the whole thing. It's that, like, I had some critiques of soaring around the world. Yeah. And I think they're common, which is overreliance on CGI and some of the animal stuff. Yeah. And the harsh transitions. And all three of those things are repeated in this. So it's like either they're not listening or they don't care. A lot of these transitions were not that harsh. There's a couple. There's a couple. But a lot of them were just like crossfades. A lot of them weren't. The fireworks are bad. The Eagle fireworks and the flat. They're bad. It's america i know i know i know you could be

patriotic the rocket launch is so good um they they really figured it out as to like how to

have scenes that maybe don't bend so much by setting things back more like the rocket launch is
