Disney Christmas Parade! Whats your take?

[Matt_Black]

I liked it, particularly the performance of "Feliz Navidad" by Il Vulo. I'd never heard of them before, but they can belt it out.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Loved how they did the adventure land, fantasyland, etc shoutout thing.

I noticed Liberty Square was absent from that.

Vader was hilarious. Lighten up.

Vader was hilarious. Lighten up.

Vader is not supposed to be hilarious. That's what Jar Jar is for....

I DVRd it so I can fast forward to seeing what few rides they were showing as well as DCL. Nick Cannon needs to go.

Was the parade really done live on Christmas Day back in the day? If 1987 was live on Christmas Day, WOW, the parade sidelines were empty!! Boy have things changed if that was the case.

Does the canned crowd cheering bother anyone? Especially when it's not consistant with the crowd reaction?

I can't stand it. They have it so loud that often you can't hear the narration or songs. Wait, that might be a good thing.

But what's really annoying you have this canned screaming going on but the crowd pictures clearly show the crowds just kind of standing there. Disney should just play real background noise.

They showed a computer replicated 7DMT and a small blip from the Tron overlay of TT, but outside that I don't recall them pushing much attraction based stuff. Mostly the Disney Side, magic band, DVC, and Adventures by Disney.

I liked it for what it was, but the performances were so poorly put together, that ending with Neyo being the worst offense. Mary J. Blige and him should have switched performance slots. Surprisingly Il Volo was my favorite one, probably because they were one of the few who could sing properly.

It was fun to watch, just the parades seem to get worse and worse as the years go by

 

[TTA94]

It would be soo much better if they filmed at night with all the lights!

That's a good idea. Especially for the fireworks part of it. All you ever see is the smoke plume it leaves behind. At least on tv.

 

[Matt_Black]

Vader is not supposed to be hilarious.

And yet the Robot Chicken and Family Guy Star Wars specials have been ridiculously successful. Huh.

 

[Hakunamatata]

Huh.

Exactly.

 

[unkadug]

The only thing I have ever liked him in was Starship Troopers, but I thought he did ok in his lip sinking opening number.

lip sinking?

Was he in Titanic also?

Yeah I used to love the night time/prime time specials for the openings of the new parks like Tokyo and Paris back in the day, and with all the lame holiday specials on TV this year a night time show of the Disney parks with Wishes, The Very Merry Parade, and World of Color would be a lot better than this boring infomercial nonsense

Does the canned crowd cheering bother anyone? Especially when it's not consistant with the crowd reaction?

Definitely! The canned cheering extended all the way from the beginning to the end of the presentation, and often, I could barely hear what the hosts were saying!

 

[Matt_Black]

Exactly.

That "huh" was meant to be ironic, and you're agreeing with it, which means Darth Vader can and should be hilarious in the right context. VICTORY!

I'm glad your excited.
