HEA was not universally loved, it was a glorified clip show

Were you expecting a 40 minute mini-movie with new characters and a new story?

Wasn't Wishes a bunch of audio clips?

 

[MisterPenguin]

This is certainly a better indication of whether the show is performing well than if people actively boo at the end. I mean, who boos a theme park show?!?

Well, to use that logic, who cheers a fireworks show? There's no live performers to hear it.

But, I know.... darned logic.

True, that's not a logical response either... I still think booing fireworks surrounded by families and little kiddies enjoying their day at Disney is a little odd!

the booing should be reserved for animatronic presidents - booing a fireworks show is just churlish.

I boo the five year old child in the pilot's seat of the Millennium Falcon that cost us the second cell of Coaxium.

Unless you are booing the person in front of you holding up an iPad to record the show, blocking your view

You monster.

Hondo’s gonna rip you off either way!

You joke, but I won't go on the ride for fear of ticking off some random 13-year-old boy.

This is a bit more of a setup than I had been anticipating. Wow. There's a lot going on in that picture.

HEA was not universally loved, it was a glorified clip show

Vastly more loved than what is currently being presented.

Happily Ever After was filled with original animation, a well-written narrative, and a storyline that made sense. The castle become the personification of Disney stories while telling their stories (both hero and villain).

Enchantment is quite literally pastel patterned projections with literal movie clips contained to a circle with blurred edges that you can put together in iMovie. It is the definition of a clip show and it’s not cute.

And don’t get me started on the song.

Back to the discussion on Harmonious…

Disney is promoting a lackluster show to promote lackluster Disney+ subscriber growth. Two birds. One stone. Yadadada.

Giant crane outside too for a camera getting shots of the fireworks over SSE

A little birdie told me the name of the D+ Harmonius show. It’s gonna be called Epcot: It Really Ain’t That Bad.

The livestreams I watched, and I was there in person a few weeks ago, is that half the crowd that used to be there for Illuminations is showing up for Harmonious.

I just need to chime in and give my opinion. We have been annual passholders for about a year now. We stayed and watched the show around October and it was packed. People lined up quite a way back from the railings to enjoy it. Stayed again 2 weeks ago and right up until the show started there were spots available to see. Only the end locations had a lot of people.

 

[bhg469]

Am I wrong or is this the first Live event on Disney+ ? That is something I didn't expect from the platform and it gives me hope that more live events will happen eventually.. If Disney was smart they would put a bunch of vloggers out of jobs and just do their own strolls in the parks all day.

 

[monothingie]

Putting lipstick on a pig of nighttime show.

 

[monothingie]

But honestly, this is the best that they could come up with?

I mean this PR resuscitation effort for Harmonious! is so half-baked they couldn't even convince their own executives to run it on Disney owned ABC?

[Communicora]

Their PR seems to focus on it being a second demonstration of their livestreaming capabilities (the first being the Oscar nominations).
