Yeah, the original was somewhat long, and it was edited down over the years to prevent bored folks from leaving early. Which is why the show was rebooted with more relevant characters and a shorter runtime. There just isn't that much fascination these days with "robotic singing birds" as there was when this debuted. That said, the "Under New Management" show just seemed to poke fun at everything, including the Tiki Room itself, while shoehorning in songs that really didn't relate to an Adventureland theme. Tokyo Disneyland has a different show that features Stitch... though I'm not sure that would be an improvement. It will be interesting to see what, if any, changes are in place when WDW's version comes back online. Hey Friar, long time no see!

It had been 30 years since I saw the original version, so I had nothing to compare it to. Maybe I just appreciated the air conditioning. Anyway, I wonder if Gilbert Gottfried, who lost his AFLAC duck gig because of insensitive jokes about Japan after the quake/tsunami, will continue to voice Iago in any upcoming Aladdin-related Disney projects.
