I hate to say it but I am not incredibly fond of the Olaf narration-he's a little too doofy for me (maybe that will change after seeing the movie??)
Anyhow, I think I realized a big reason why the show doesn't "do it" for me the way the standard WoC does: besides the fact that the story doesn't seem to be as tied together as the standard version, the COLORS are much less vibrant.
I realize that, because of the content, that's just the way it is, but besides the Toy Story Nutcracker segment, most of the colors are very somber - blue, white, gray. It lacks the "life" and color that the standard show has.
As impressive as the big water jets are, there's a lot of vibrance in the smaller, smooth water tubes frequently lit up with all the colors of the rainbow.
Anyhow, I'll completely enjoy it while it's here, just that I would never want such a show to fully replace the various, colorful themes of the original!
