Great video Steve. Thanks for sharing.

Keyword "projection show" I don't really like where the firework launch pads are right now so I rather have it without fireworks until they move it to the center. Hopefully when tsl and swl are done they will move it back.

All it needs is a little low Pyro. The low launches seem fine where they are.

If they are going to continue with projection shows on TGMR, then please move the palm trees to a spot between the buildings.

So, is this nightly Now? And will be in the times guide on Sunday? Or was tonight just a reaction test? Whichever it is, hopefully it'll get finale Pyro.

Yes its nightly.

Really enjoyed that!

Looks great and gives the crowd waiting for Star Wars something to enjoy. They REALLY seem to want to keep people at DHS at night, which at least shows they understand there's not enough to do throughout the day. I just wish they would stagger F! more or add a second showing, it's a shame guests have to choose.

My theory is that they're using this to test the use of a Marvel property (GotG) and see what UNI does.

Edit: notice they didn't market this? I think that has something to do with the contract.

Very cool.

Shame I can't imagine seeing it live if it's the same time as Fantasmic, but a great addition.

Really impressive you got there for a good video with short notice!

I'll certainly go see it in person, until then, I'll hold off final judgment, but... gah... those trees!

Also, this is just another indication that DHS is going to be just about Disney IPs and not movies in general (or movie-making). Don't know how long RnRC can hold out from being overlaid...

Also... no love for Muppet Movies? Big mistake.

The most amazing part about this is the projected old movie posters of Mary Poppins and Old Yeller at the very beginning before the show starts.

The Muppets do make at least one appearance.

The Muppets do make at least one appearance.

Ah, my apologies for missing it.

So let me move the goal posts... Muppets should have gotten a significant section!

Its focus is on live action film vs the cartoon aspect of Magic Kingdom. Can never get enough quotes from Walt. I like it.

Rocketeer! Was that Darby O' Gill at the 8:10 mark in the first video?

I'm surprised that this isn't the nightly "Nighttime Spectacular." A show about movies projected on a ride about movies in a park about movies? Seems almost too perfect. Like HEA, they could easily change out some of the segments as new Disney films get released (add Thor to the Marvel section in November, etc). This should really be the big show with all the pyro and effects. The projection-only "preshow" should instead be Star Wars or whatever the current "big promotion" is for Disney at the time. Do a POTC projection show for the summer, a Thor projection show for the fall, and a Last Jedi projection show in the winter, and do the big Movie Magic Nighttime Spectacular every night, year round.

Love it! Ecspecially the Mary poppins part great addition to Hollywood studios, very fitting

 

[I am Timmy]

I love this! I love movies, and this gave me goosebumps just like the preshow for GMR always does. Thanks for the video, I hope it's still going in December. I really hope this park keeps it's old Hollywood theme!

 

[Disney Analyst]

What a delightful surprise! I love that they did this for seemingly no reason. Yay Disney, your little touches are coming back

Universal's contract does not include Guardians of the Galaxy, Disney is totally free to use the Guardians and Doctor Strange at any time any way they want. The Universal contract mainly deals with X-Men and the Avengers.

Gotta love the Rocketeer score. The film might not be a legendary classic, but the music will stand the test of time.

It a quick job to try and give a percived value to the parks admission given all the work going on. And to give guests something else to see - and another reason to stay into the evening - now we're hitting high season.

Somewhat ironic theming given the plans for the GMR.
