We could put this in my Disney's Grand Florida Adventure park on MiceChat. There is only one problem with the film roster: nobody knows The Black Cauldron. If you take ten people, and ask them to name ten Disney movies, you will probably get The Black Cauldron out of none of them.

Were not choosing a location yet and I forgot to remove it.

How do we brainstorm for a Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color-type show? It's just scenes from Disney movies projected onto water.

Just a suggestion...

If you are brainstorming a new nighttime spectacular, I would focus on where it would go first rather than what movies it showcases. The reason being is for thematic purposes. Let's say you are creating this for Epcot, many of those films could be adapted for a worldly/futuristic theme, but A Bug's Life may not fit. Likewise, if you created it for Animal Kingdom, Tron would not fit the theme.

So focus on where you are going to put this new show. Is it a replacement of a current show or a brand new show. If it is a replacement, what sort of elements from the previous show should be considered when deciding what is included in the new one. What is overall theme? Will it be just like World of Color or will it take on a new feel?

One you figured out your theme, try to then work on a story or progression. In World of Color it starts out with the sea and the color blue. Other colors like red with fire and villians and green for nature are all used. The movies are fit into those colors and emotions to create a story.

Finally, then you should pick which films are included and what scenes.

My last two cents are about Studio Ghibi. They have produced some great films, but your typical Walt Disney World guest my not identify or recognize them similar to guests not recognizing Pete's Dragon right away in the Main Street Electrical Parade (yes, for real, they don't). I would also combine all the Toy Stories together.

I'd say use Epic Mickey as a connecting thread should we be talking Magic Kingdom or a Fantasmic replacement. Very appropriate for World of Color

Well the Toy Story sequence is going after my Neighbor Totoro and in the order is Toy Story 1 with Buzz and Woody,Toy Story 2 with Buzz & Zurg and lastly Toy Story 3 with Buzz & Jessie dancing and I wanted to introduce Studio Ghibi animes to the park like Pixar did.
