News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

[Magic Feather]

Once Upon a Time is a WDAS clip show. Harmonious (while using Disney IP generously, specifically music) is not that.

Also, as technically complex as RoE was, Harmonious might objectively top it in that department, for better or worse.

Opening the stargate to another galaxy will bring another superfluous moving and lightweight Yeti!

If I was a technician working on this show I would definitely project the Stargate effect on that thing while doing testing!

Seeing that stargate thing from the gondola is pretty impressive...gonna be a show on its own going through the bridge at world showcase.

You saw it from the Skyliner??? I didn't think you could see Epcot's Pyro Backstage from the Skyliner.

The thing sticks up above the trees.

Implying the ring is going to go backstage or be moved.

Hopefully it does so we can see it up close

It’s an ugly spud in daylight.

Hopefully it looks better in action. A new globe would have been better, and a nod to RoE.

This might be debatable but I think we should be lucky “a brand new show” is even still in the plans for next year, due to Covid. It may be the only brand new entertainment offering for WDWs 50th at this point. Harmonious could have been scrapped and we’d be stuck with EF, or pushed off for a few more years, or held off until Epcot’s 40th in 2022.... which I do question that. May not be completely out of the question depending on how 2021 plays out.

I would agree with that sentiment. We could be stuck with EF...

For some odd reason I wouldn’t mind seeing EF again, but only for a very short period! lol.

Harmonious may not be the ideal RoE replacement, but at least visually it should be pleasing? Not sure if the words amazing and jaw dropping will be appropriate for Harm? Maybe @marni1971 or @Magic Feather can comment on that lol.

One of those things that we'll have to see for ourselves to judge, it seems. But your second sentence gives me hope.

What if we were to paint it a salmon-pink?!!

Ugly spud too (I disliked that colour scheme)

I’ve said it’ll be a technical tour de force.

Like Rivers of Light!!

Sigh. Where to begin with that one.

I really hesitate to make the comparison for obvious reasons, but think Jungle Book: Alive with Magic for IP integration.

Even with IP, Harm. should be way better than JB: AWM, correct?
