Princess Tiana is on a mission to throw the ultimate party, but a little hiccup involving Prince Naveen and Louis has left her in a bit of a pickle. The solution? A band of musical critters!

You’re invited to meet the new critters in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, each bringing their own flair and melody to this vibrant celebration.
Introducing the Band Members
- Byhalia the Beaver: Not your average dam builder, Byhalia is the percussion master of the group, crafting instruments from the bayou’s bounty. Her engineering skills are only matched by her rhythmic talents, making her the band’s beating heart.
- Gritty the Rabbit: With a name that reflects her spirit, Gritty finds joy and relief in the high-energy strumming of her washboard, made from an old license plate. Her enthusiasm is infectious, ensuring the band’s vibe is always upbeat.
- Beau the Opossum: The dreamer of the group, Beau sees beauty everywhere in the bayou. Her musical contributions come from an upright gourd bass, played with a tail that’s as skilled as it is prehensile.
- Apollo the Raccoon: A true artist, Apollo’s knack for turning discarded items into musical masterpieces is unparalleled. His squeezebox isn’t just an instrument; it’s a story, much like the tales he shares, inspired by his adventures with Rufus.
- Rufus the Turtle: Don’t let his pace fool you; Rufus is quick to catch the rhythm with his harmonica. His genuine nature and slightly sarcastic humor make him a beloved companion, especially to Apollo.
- Timoléon the Otter: The elder statesman of the group, Timoléon’s fiddle sings with the stories of the bayou. His tales of exploration and adventure add depth to the band’s soul-stirring melodies.
These critters aren’t just characters; they’re a testament to the creativity and innovation of the Walt Disney Imagineers behind Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. And for those who wish they could bring a piece of the bayou home, plush versions of Beau, Apollo, and Rufus will soon be available, ready to be your next cuddly companion.
A Creative Collaboration
The creation of these characters was a collaborative effort, led by the incredibly talented Laura West, a lead concept designer with Walt Disney Imagineering. Laura and her team have poured their hearts into bringing these critters to life, ensuring that each one has a unique personality and role within the bayou’s ecosystem.
