The Hollywood Adventure Spectacular by @Henry Mystic
Since this was your first project this will be the one that rankings later on will be based on. Focusing solely on one genre of film is an interesting way to tie together a show, and I think the various films you have listed out would work rather well together. The utilization of drones to compliment the fireworks is a smart move due to the abysmal setup for fireworks that Studios has.
Mars Needs Moms: Baby Blast! by @SplashZander
First off I want to say the artwork is splendid as it helps to deliver the core themes and topics that this concept will be sure to cover. The baby shaped fireworks going all the way to space will for sure be something to be celebrated. The cherry on top is of course Mars Needs Moms being celebrated and exonerated as the true shining achievement it was.
Disney IPs by @Disney Warrior
Genius concept that will make Chapek very happy as it incorporates all of the top four brands of the company in a true celebration of the night, but I do see you're missing some 20th Century IPs. Disney will surely go bankrupt now due to its exclusion
Hollywood Forever by @MickeyMouse10
I do want to start off by saying that yes this is technically two sentences, but the project is set up to read like three sentences. I understand it is hard to condense ideas into two sentence elevator pitches, but turning a two sentences into one clear run-on also isn't the right thing to do. With all that said utilizing the show as a celebration of the park's legacy was a neat way to to go about the show, and doing so the show itself is still able to celebrate Hollywood.
Roger Rabbit's Hollywood Dreams N' Toons Nighttime Spectacular by @DisneyFan32
This project is more than two sentences, and as such has been disqualified from receiving points or ranking for this challenge. With that said I can see Roger Rabbit being a catalyst for a nighttime show especially one that focuses on animation, but it still works for what you got in store.
The Muppets Take the Chinese Theater by @Brer Panther
The Muppets are a fun IP, and are well known for their antics. From original sketches to spoofing other films the Muppets are okay with doing it all, and as such I could see this working based on the concept.
The Great Movie Ride by @cdunlap
This checks out you do use the Chinese Theater as a screen at night so it meets the criteria. I for one would be entertained just by watching Robert Osborne playing every role in the show, and of course the kinetics of the chaotic golf carts would be the cherry on top.
The Great Movie Spectacular by @D Hulk
This nighttime spectacular is solid, and something I'm surprised Disney has tried to attempt already. The show is a celebration of all things Hollywood with a unique focus on the IPs of that Disney owns. The show feels like classic Disney thanks to this approach, and would likely have a long longevity.
The Great Hollywood Experience by @MagicKingdom4Ever
Starting off with the first film in the Disney canon is a logical jumping off point for a show like this. The show itself features a lineup of solid films that represent the history of Disney's film catalog well while still honoring Hollywood.
Mouse-tro Mickey's Silly Symphony of Sorcery by @mharrington
Having the show set to classic cartoon tunes from various Mickey Mouse shorts and others is a unique spin for Hollywood Studios. This show arguably celebrates one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and is able to encapsulate the many different eras of Mickey Mouse. Throw in that Runaway Railway is what calls the Chinese Theater home, and there is some nice synergy going on here.
Fantasmic by @Disney Dad 3000
This is an interesting shift for the park, but was a great way to turn the modern of Fantasmic on its head transforming it into a modern show. This focus on dragons ties into the various dragons on the facade, but I do feel like some of the charm from Fantasmics worldwide with the lack of live characters appearing. That said the visual of a giant Maleficent dragon rising over the theater would be insanely cool to see at night. The capacity improvements by utilzing the entrance to Toy Story Land was smart as well given that the backside is just flat soundstage so it would offer another compelling place to watch the show.
A Salute to All Movies But Mostly The Muppet Movie by @Henry Mystic
You got a minute and a half for this show
That said I do hope that if the Muppets are ever involved in any nighttime show this iconic exchange is utilized.
One Man's Dream by @Solaris Knight
We haven't had a proper nighttime show dedicated to Walt over here in the swamps, and Hollywood Studios would be the perfect place to celebrate his legacy in not only film but in television and the rest of Hollywood as well. This would be a great show to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary, or just any legacy year. It would also work as a stellar replacement for the current shows playing on the theater as a proper celebration of Walt's Hollywood and beyond.
The Chinatown Spectacular by @TwilightZone
This was a unique approach to a show on the Chinese Theater, and work that works well given the building's aesthetic. It would help set the show apart from the rest of the resort's lineup given its lack of IP, but still tying into the park in a logical way. The actual show itself sounds like it would a spectacle to watch, and tons of fun for guests to be developed into a massive story surrounding them.
Villainous Nightmares by @Chaos Cat
A unique way to create a new show for the theater was to create a whole new ticketed event, and for that kudos to you! The show sounds unique given its entire focus on villains, and capitalizing on the various means that Disney has brought spectaculars to life in recent years combining drones, actors, projections, and more.
In Walt's Steps by @DashHaber
The name itself of the show is rather nice and memorable as it clearly states where it plans to take guests on their journey through the night. Combining the old alongside the new aids in presenting this show's concept in a light familiar to guests as they will be able to see the evolution of Disney with their very own eyes.
Look to the Skies by @OvertheHorizon
It's always nice to see a wide variety of films represented, and the ones chosen are able to show off the wide berth of film that not only Disney can provide, but the entire Hollywood industry. Based off what has been done in recent years with drones I imagine its only a matter of time until they're incorporated stateside much like how you suggested. Studios is a prime candidate for it due to their large shells for fireworks having a fallout zone of World Drive.
X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter Battle For The Galaxy by @Tony the Tigger
With the recent news of the Star Wars nighttime show seemingly cut from the park's lineup this concept seems like a spiritual successor for it. Utilizing drones as the spaceships would be cool to see, and the various effects you tied into the flight and battle of the fleets help in making the show pop. Having the iconic trench run be the finale for the show is a logical place for the story of the show to go, and allows guests to relive Luke's winning shot in a bombastic way.
Dance of the Dragons by @Evilgidgit
Another unique concept that utilizes the dragon features of the theater, and the prominence of Dragons in Eastern cultures. Mushu and Sisu works well given its a match of newer and older Disney characters that compliment each other well. The various dragons appearing and performing tricks for guests throughout the show is a nice way to incorporate many of them, and the ways you highlighted their unique abilities was a nice touch. Maleficent being the big bad makes practical sense, and is a great way to cap off a show.
The Magic in Music by @Suchomimus
I think this is a solid way to celebrate film yet have a reason to be a best hits show; this show is similar in concept to World of Color however the focus isn't in the most colorful scenes but rather iconic music scores. The songs listed offer a wide variety of musical notes, and encompass Disney films representing many eras that act as a true celebration of the company's musical legacy.
The Golden Mickeys by @kmbmw777
Hosting this at and on the Chinese Theater celebrates the grandeur that surrounds award shows, and the location perfectly encapsulates that very grandeur expected. The guest voting would be interesting to see in person, but it will ensure that the show remains fresh day from day.
Paranoid after missing last week.
