The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management HD

Since this version of the show is now extinct I thought it was time to release a video. Whilst I didn't capture everything I wanted to due to the unplanned closure, I was fortunate enough to obtain 5 HD angles of the show itself. I also was able to incorporate DV footage of the exterior I had shot prior to going HD. After a great introduction by ETRUNM Cast Members, enjoy the preshow with multi angle HD video and a clean live audio track. Walk into the main theatre and see the whole mainshow in multi camera HD video with a source / ALD audio track.

The first time my family went to Disney was 2005, and I’m pretty sure that’s the only time I’ve ever been in the Tiki Room. I recall my dad saying as we left, “well that wasn’t very enchanting” or something along those lines, and I think this fiasco of an overlay might have turned them off the attraction for good. I’m not sure if they realize it’s not like this anymore, all I know is that we’ve not done it since then.

[@Waltman13]

Seeing this again out of boredom and... wow this was worse than I remembered. Again, I don't think it's as bad as people say, but it's still shit. Some positives I will say though, I did like the first half. The idea of Iago breaking into the tiki room and messing around with the birds, only then to get banished by the tiki gods sounds really funny to me. However, everything after it in the 2nd half just sucked. Especially the last part where Iago insults the guests as they leave, ugh... If the "new management" stuff was only in the first half and the show continued as normal with Zazu just chillin in the background, I would've been okay with this change. But the fact that they replaced every song with covers of existing songs REALLY made this version hard to revisit. Thankfully the tiki room is now back in it's original state, though it is a shame that the UNM animatronics got damaged from that fire. Cause for 1998, they actually looked pretty cool.

[@Chucky732]

Rest in Peace Gilbert Godfrey

[@gabrielfrench8382]

"You gotta get hip...!" [Proceeds to play "Still of the Night" (good song, not hip).] I will say, I didn't like how Iago got so much attention and even his own songs while Zazu was this insecure side-character basically. I get it sort of fits the nervous and blunt side of Zazu from "The Lion King," but he would never call Iago his "friend," or feel touched by anything he did--and if you think about it, more people remembered who Zazu was than Iago... I would've been fine with something like this "Famous birds from Disney movies" thing if 1.) It didn't replace and disrespect the one-and-only "Enchanted Tiki Room" (and the guests...); and 2.) It had a better story-line and songs.

This show, which was hosted by Iago and Zazu, obviously deserved retirement after it was the target of scorn and contempt by guests, who called it an allegory of the corrupt management of Michael Eisner. Not to mention there was a fire in the show on January 12, 2011. Disney definitely made the right choice by taking it off the parks.

As bad as this version was, I gotta admit, it had some charm imo. The first part with Don Rickles and Phil Hartman (who sadly are now dead..) was pretty funny, the way Iago comes in during the Tiki song was hilarious, and that friend like me parody wasn't too bad either. I would say the same for the Conga parody but ehhh.. I'm still kinda mixed on it.

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

I *_knew it!_* That one toucan(?) sounded unmistakably Phil Hartman, but I wasn't sure where to check. It's odd that they got Troy McClure (Phil Hartman), Mr. Potatohead (Don Rickles), Tony the Tiger (Thurl Ravenscroft), and even Iago (Gilbert Gottfried), [sadly, all of whom have passed on]... and yet they couldn't afford Rowan Atkinson, the only one in the group who's not a voice actor. I guess he is easily replaced, and you wouldn't even notice unless you know what to listen for. I guess they just wanted Colonel Spigot (Michael Gough) so it would be an all-star cast, or something? /s
