Rumor Philharmagic update still coming?

[Timothy_Q]

Wait a show about the Ink and Paint Women?

"Ink & Paint, an eight-episode documentary series for the upcoming Disney-branded streaming service which takes a Hidden Figures look at a number of women who made many of the Disney animated classics possible with little or no recognition for their work."

Recently booked some fastpasses for early to mid March and Philharmagic was located down at the bottom as unavailable with Tomorrowland speedway. Any idea if it is going down for a refurb then?

It won’t be.

The fact remains it shouldn't take until 2021

They need 50 new offerings for the 50th anniversary. It's not that it would take them that long. It's that they want to roll it all into the 50th Anniversary. I get that. It doesn't make it a crime in this case.

Has the 50 new offerings been confirmed?

Has the 50 new offerings been confirmed?

No. Only one insider said it was a thing that I know of. But, to be fair, WDW wouldn't announce it for a while yet if it was going to be a thing.

Yes, and it wasn't Steve or Martin.

 

[jt04]

Maybe it was Steve Martin!

Steve Martin is going to be in the new Philharmagic!?

Yesssssss!

 

[NateD1226]

Maybe it was Steve Martin!

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

IMO Philharmagic should take a Star Tours route as it could interchange giving you a new show each time you see it...

 

[MisterPenguin]

Maybe it was Steve Martin!

This orchestra needs more banjo!

Not yet

Any word as to which scenes/songs are being cut?

I never thought the Lion King animation style matched the feel of the rest of the scenes; although I like the song.

I think that's the point though right? to make sure all the scenes had a different feeling?

I'm think they're gonna port over the most iconic songs from the newer movies since that tends to be the MO for the show. So I'm guessing they're gonna take the lantern sequence from Tangled, which is a duet, hence replacing the Aladdin part.

I've always felt there's a good transition point between The Lion King sequence and a potential "Let It Go" sequence.

Moana could replace Little Mermaid but that depends on the song they're gonna use. If it's "How Far I'll Go", say goodbye to "Part of Your World". If it's "You"re Welcome", say goodbye to "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" since they have a similar 2D feel. I think the latter is more likely since Ariel's song is way too iconic.

 

[stitchcastle]

I suspect they would redo any character animation from scratch, to match the style of the Phillharmagic animation and give the attraction a consistent feel.

Just speculation. I'm not an imagineer or bus driver and have no actual insight as to what the creative process for such an endeavor would entail.

yeah, it would take about a year, maybe longer from pre-production to actual animation (this takes a while)to incorporating the new effects into the theater. I'm also betting they would want to update all the 2003-era CG to match that of the modern Disney features. So they're gonna have to build the models, lighting and rendering for the segments that will remain from the ground up.

 

[CoasterSnoop]

Maybe it was Steve Martin!

Imagine sitting in that enormous theater, packed with kids and adults alike wide-eyed with anticipation, the curtains pull away, and all they see is this in glorious 4D:

I'm banking on all the live action films like Apple Dumpling Gang being on the streaming service

Don’t mess with the classics

I posted this in the Permit thread the other day. I have seen the address used for Philharmagic in the past so this might be for the rumored update.
