oh my.
I didn't watch, only reading here this morning. Either it's the most horrendous thing every done to man, or social media just really is soul-crushing.
I'm sure my reaction will be, it's fine. Luckily nighttime fireworks shows aren't really my thing.
But I also know we will watch it one of the night there and I'm sure we will enjoy it.
I felt that way too. Except for the final sequence, the show title did not match the theme. To me, it was mostly disjointed Disney movie songs. Maybe I missed it, but they didn't seem to fit together to tell any kind of story that I could pick up. I thought the visuals were really bright and colorful, but each of the movie segments could have been standalone, like a stationary cavalcade.
It did pick up someone saying something like, "Is that it?'
Well, there’s a bit of an echo chamber here. Quick! Roll out another firework show to distract them!(quoting myself)
Well I just watched it.
Yes - the music is not what you wanted for Epcot. ROE is my favorite soundtrack and it's gone. Well, I can listen to it everyday if I want, but gone from Epcot.
That said - I thought this show was quite beautiful! I've personally never seen anything like it.
It was sooo colorful, elegant movement, and joyful.
And I looooooved hearing Someday at the end.
And you really couldn't figure out which part was the finale?
I honestly don't understand the criticism of it looking bad, but hey, to each their own!
A+ visual spectacleoh my.

Nothing es me off more than when I hear someone ask why Hercules isn't at the Italy Pavilion. Talk about culture misappropriation...
The interesting thing here is that they could pretty easily fix it. But there’s an 18-month celebration so they can’t really take it offline since it’s a large part of the marketing campaign. Maybe some dialogue to explain the story? You know there is some sort of convoluted story that we missed. The Zach will enlighten us in a thrilling 16-part series.
Most people didn’t get the story. People want pretty fireworks shows, which I think this is.
I still don't get the story and I don't care to read it. But when I listen to the soundtrack, it can still make me cry.
This 100%
Hypothetically... if the designers sat in a room and said "let's make something that's big and dumb with no story because our audience are idiots," would they be wrong?
As far as I'm concerned, "Go the Distance" is a parks song a this point. It's far more resonant in any of the ten nighttime spectaculars it's been in than in Hercules itself.
Also, they have Aladdin and Jasmine appearances in the Morocco pavilion
