It looks like a photoshop.
I think it's too much, personally, though I respect that they went through with such a large castle refurb.

Is that real or is it concept art? It’s so strange, as if they copy pasted it into the environment without changing the surroundings to match.

A different image of the same castle.
Either way though....
For me personally, it’s too many colours, too many styles, too many chefs in a kitchen. It doesn’t really flow to me and looks like a clustermesh of too many different styles. I dont even think all the colours truly go together either. Teal, gold, pink, blue, red, the weird off putting ombré occurring as you go upwards. I think somebody’s messed up the paint job.

I think that might be part of my issue with it. I like the basic idea, but it feels like they cramped all the flourishes around the lower section of the castle, whereas the higher points are lacking anything special to them.

I want to like it - I do like the slim design but overall it looks too gaudy to me. Much like the Tree of Life, you can pay tribute to several princesses in a more subtle fashion that when viewed from far away, looks like one distinct tree (or in this case castle)
Here's it's too obvious where the divides are

Netflix: Adds a new movie that normalizes p********* to its library, and keeps it on despite getting possibly the form of backlash through stock prices, subscription cancellations, consumer boycotts, and possibly having legal action taken by the U.S.A. Department of Justice.
Also Netflix: Cancels a show that has garnered universal praise amongst critics and audiences, reached Netflix's trending spot several times rated as a top TV show by several media outlets, been nominated for and won several awards, and revived interest in a cult classic after just one season calling it an expensive disappointment.

So watching the full Beauty and the Beast ride-through, I wouldn't put a rank to it off a video, but at the same time maybe my expectations were a bit too high.
Definitely a must-see and step up from anything in recent memory in terms of technology. However in terms of an attraction, I feel like so much effort was put into the tech-side that the story is kinda just a book-report with 4-5 rooms.
Compare that to something like RotR or even MMRR and those while perhaps animatronically inferior to BatB, story-wise those two are more my cup of tea.

I agree. A technological marvel with a ton of wow moments! But it has the same storytelling/pacing issues as Frozenstorm or Little Mermaid

That looks real. Still bad, but in a tangible way.

Pretty much my thoughts. I'll catch it and fully determine when our team Brava reunion in TD happens, but this just left me kind of...huh. Really cool aspects to it technically obviously, but just seemed like you go to room, dance around, go to next room.
I won't slam it as we all have different tastes and im sure many will be absolutely over the moon about it. Just seems like a few tweaks to the journey and it would be much higher on my radar. That being said I'd probably ride it often anyway if I was a TD regular. With all the movement seems like you could catch a few bits here and there each ride (not on scale of MMRR or Rise though).

Spaceship Earth!

I've got to say Spaceship Earth. It's such a simple yet striking design, with a futuristic feel that fits Epcot.

The classic Castle because it is just so iconic.
See I think this is so much more than a book report because it feels so atmospheric. @TheOriginalTiki and I talked about this in our podcast on it but while there's elements of book report, the ride is so focused on the atmosphere of the movie and the world and something of a return to old-fashioned storytelling where you have to connect the dots and make your own story.

I can see that but to me at least when the story has been told before (a tale as old as time pardon the pun) it's harder to make your own narrative when it's following the film. For those that truly love the film though I can definitely see this being their #1 go-to attraction at TDL now however.
