But past that, the newest entertainment element is actually in the Tree of Life.
D
26:19DanHOST
So there's a theater underneath the Tree of Life, and it used to have a show called It's Tough to Be a Bug.
D
26:24DanHOST
This one was a little bit controversial because it was a little scary.
D
26:28DanHOST
Even though it was a theme to a bug's life, there was one point in this thing where... spiders like came out of the ceiling and it was frightening it was frightening for me i can imagine being like a little kid in there but it was a little bit scary so they have replaced that with zootopia better zoogether so it is a 4d show obviously themed to zootopia you're going to see elements from all of the characters in zootopia zootopia 2 and you're going to um it's it's actually a pretty fun show we've seen it a couple of times i i definitely like this is not a must see for me by any stretch of the imagination But if it's not the best weather in Animal Kingdom, maybe you want to get out of the rain or something like that, it's a good one to soak up some time.
