His name is Dr Hämsterviel! Put some respect into his name!
Watch out, you’ll get the Villains stans mad at you!

I'm more excited for Gantu but I love Hamsterwheel showing up!
Err.... Hämsterviel.
Wonder if we can get Dr. Doof or Bill Cipher in this....
Maybe the Carnotaurus from Dinosaur (movie) can show up thru a transported AA from Dinosaur (ride)?

I do very much like the representation of villains that have never really been utilized! Looks fun. Like a game of I-Spy

I mean, hey! If any TV villains were gonna be apart of this, especially since Hämster has the door cracked a bit, it'd definitely be those two, especially since Doof already showed up last year in Cali!...you called?
I think Hamsterviel may be an exception because he’s tied to a larger IP.

Yes they do have m&g's of them...
But, I highly doubt they will be there..They'll probably focus more on the more popular ones...

It looks like Maleficent, Captain Hook, Cruella De Vil, Hades and Jafar will all have musical numbers and actual actors, whilst all the other villains will likely be cameos in the mirrors. Do we know if there will be new original songs for this show, since those 3/5 characters don't actually have songs attached to them

To be fair I'd say that Doof and Bill have much greater hold on public consciousness than a lot of the C or D list villains displayed here. Not to slander, but Doof is likely more timeless and recognizable than say Silver, Rourke, or even Frollo (even though I absolutely love those villains and think they are among Disney's best.)

That's what I'm assuming... Budget for the show probably limited it to villains who already have costumes/face characters(?)

Oh he definitely is, but I have a dream and a wish to see Bill Cipher in the parks.
It'll happen eventually... Disney doesn't seem content with leaving Gravity Falls to pass away peacefully.
But overall they're cagey on TV stuff in the parks that aren't tied to the Fab 5 and Stitch.

I still hold out that a Gravity Falls ride would be amazing in AK (mythical creatures and getting back the gimmick tourist attraction but done better (and with lovable IP so Disney should be MUCH more content with). Heck, Gravity Falls did have that Dinosaur storyline... Back into the caves anyone?

Have to wonder if the Hades they had at Oogie Boogie Bash this year was a play test for the design they will use here...

I appreciate seeing deep cut references to lesser known Disney villains. The trend of new projects needing to focus on modern IP might finally be ending

Was thinking the same thing.
Seems like this "live" show is going to rely heavily on animated screens rather than live cast and a ton happening physically on stage.
With the right in-theater effects, that doesn't have to make it a bad thing, especially if it runs on more of a LM rather than BATB schedule.
Do we know if this will be a continuous all day thing or with limited posted showtimes yet?
Where's Brian Connors, the king of the Little People?

Sir, this is a *Villains* show King Brian is a wily rival, but no true villain...
That said, give me a Rathcullen Arms Public House restaurant anywhere on property and I will be there in full Darby cosplay.
