Haven't read the thread since I've been avoiding spoilers/being colored by others' opinions. Finally rode it today. Here are my impressions.

New character dolls: Taken as a whole, they get one big "whatever" from me. I found some more sore-thumbish than others, but nothing awful enough to bother itemizing. I wish they weren't there, but they don't detract from the ride too terribly.

Audio changes: Hardly noticed them. I guess part of it was I was too busy looking so I wasn't really listening. I didn't even notice "when you wish upon a star" until CP said something about it. I don't have a particularly good ear for music, especially when there are multiple things layered on top of each other. I just don't register it.

I've been informed that I'm supposed to have been horrified by Ariel's singing voice. Between he fact that I found her to be the most visually distracting of all the character additions, looking ahead for other characters, and the general cacaphony of that area, I wasn't even aware that she had a separate singing track until we were almost out of earshot, so I can't even really tell you what it sounded like.

Salvaged Gay-tor: Bleh, bleh, bleh. What a mess. Very very sad.

America section: UnbeLIEVAbly awful. Holy hell is that crap. It's like they found some high school theater department that did a play set on a farm and begged them to have their set pieces when they were done. The whole thing is tacky and garish beyond belief. I find it incomprehensible that someone looked at that design and gave it a thumbs up.
