List of critiques I have thus far (long post ahead)-
1- Fix the street performers. I've already gone into detail about what is needed. Their outfits are ugly and there's not enough. Unacceptable, back to the drawing board now.
2- The Frozen and Wish floats need work. I won't debate whether Wish deserves to be there as I do think it fits thematically, but I expect a better looking float. Frozen is worse though and needs to be redesigned entirely. Even an exact copy of either Dreamlights/PtN would be fine IMO.
3- The Blue Fairy's wings are weirdly tiny. Did anyone else notice this? Go image search the version of this float from either the original MSEP or Dreamlights for comparison and you'll see what I mean. I realize the back of her float is larger and has an interior now, but the wings just need to be larger.
4- The complete absence of smaller "spacer" floats is glaring. You know, the sort that can swivel and move around. The fish, turtles, snails, spectroballs etc from pretty much every other parade ever. This would also help offset the sparse number of larger floats as well.
5- Here's where we get into the nitty gritty of float layout and quantity. Long paragraph ahead. The parade is just way too short. There's only 9 major floats. About the same as the also criminally short PtN (which I think it has 8 major floats, and had even less when it originated at HKDL), but with far fewer and less impressively costumed street performers and no smaller spacer floats except for the tiny manually pushed parade logo at the end (which should have been a major float and moved to the beginning). Several of the princesses should have had their own large standalone floats. There were plenty of fitting choices. I'm shocked Princess and the Frog didn't get one for various reasons, what with Ray and Evangeline. Aladdin has the magic carpet flying through the starry sky. Rapunzel thought the lanterns were stars. Hercules has constellations and planets. If Wish deserved to get a float despite it bombing spectacularly, then i'll throw out Treasure Planet as an unrealistic but very appropriate choice. Even the Lion King had some cosmic scenes in it. Especially surprised Sorcerer Mickey commanding the cosmos wasn't in there somewhere. Overall, the parade needed several more large floats, pretty much any of those suggestions would fit.
