They should just release actual lanterns every night. Biodegradable paper, you're golden.

I like Tangled, but it is no match against the greatest Disney animated film to date, The Lion King. I want a well thought, out of this world Lion King segment, African choir music from the film included.

Ever seen Tokyo's Fantasmic? There's a nice Lion King segment included but as far as I recall it's all water screen stuff.

I agree 100%. Just look at my profile

It is possible to have both though.

I'll have to check that out!

When Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar merge into one entity and are no longer treated separately I'll be more inclined to follow that train of thought. Disney also owns Marvel but I wouldn't consider all the male leads in those movies being "Disney."


Sounds great to me

Read up on the history of Pixar. Pixar has always been Disney. It wasn't an independent entity that was acquired like Marvel was. The acquisition formalized Disney's ownership interest, but the two companies were always intertwined.

AMEN.

Edit:
Have you seen the Lion King part of the new Tree of Life Awakenings? Saw it in person a couple weeks ago and I got major goosebumps.

Oh I know.

They're still two different studios with very different stories that they've told.

Has anyone asked the question on if we can expect changes in Florida?

Since apparently WDW's version of Fantasmic! hasn't received significant upgrades and changes in years, and this is the Disneyland forum, no.

If you're interested, I would suggest creating a thread outside this forum. You'd get a lot more information, I'm sure.

There are no updates in the pipeline for WDW's Fantasmic.

Surprise, surprise...

Has the WDW version ever at some point received upgrades? Has the show stayed literally exactly the same since day one?

It's exactly the same as far as I know. Upgrades don't happen at WDW.

 

[GiveMeTheMusic]

They slightly updated the bubble scene to include Frozen.

Good to know. I honestly haven't seen the show in 10 years despite several visits to WDW. It's pretty awful, but I do love seeing Mickey in his classic red shorts albeit briefly. It's my favorite thing about their version.

WDW added the green nukes a few years back.

Wow.

 

[Disneysea05]

And they added the color shifting lights to the princess barges. So....yeah.......

That's just untrue, Martin said upgrades are in the cards for Fantasmic.

Nothing is true until announced by Disney AND implemented.
