I was excited, just saw it on youtube and..... boring. I was shocked i was only 4 minutes in. A nice offering for others though.

No idea what possessed them to pick "Shiny" as the basis of a Villain sequence, but the Yzma and Emperor's New Groove bit they shoved into the middle of that is appreciated.

It's a nice homage. I'm not sure what to think about it though. Meh? I'll see it in person and see how I feel then. It just feels a bit lacking in 'oomph'. Disney Movie Magic is better, honestly. For a clip fest at least keep my interest ... (I like the beginning and The Incredibles segment)

They certainly put a lot of work to make it for the theater and I’m crazy or does the images look very sharp. I was impressed with the editing. It was missing a soundtrack..like that impactful soundtrack nighttime shows have...hmm.
Definitely a nice show/addition to DHS. Probably the Incredibles was my favorite segment, excluding the finale! It's a nice homage overall to all the Disney animation movies, both past and new.
Best part was beginning at 2:00 -- Dancing daddy and dancing baby.

They also start twirling around at 11:49 -- right at Mickey's finale, perfect timing with the pyro too!!

Could have gone with an Animation Celebration Parade featuring characters that were created from Each Decade on a dedicated float.....But, nope......We get this...

Should've been spent on a fantasmic upgrade.
We do get a Parade today. I think it's nice, More pyro than I was expecting. They did a good job with the new Mickey style at the end, unlike Mix Magic.......

I like it better than what was previously offered. I also enjoy that there's a bit of a Celebrate the Magic feel at the end.

This show does little for me. The technology is cool, but my interest in watching a bunch of Disney movie clips projected onto a facade is pretty low by now. Doesn't help that so many of these films are already featured in HEA and OUAT and the soundtrack is surprisingly forgettable (though I do appreciate the inclusion of the Coco, Hercules, and Emperor's New Groove sections).
Can't help but feel Imagineers are getting all caught up in the technology and forgetting what makes for a good show. We get it, the tech is neat, but there's only so many times you can keep rearranging the same movie clips into a nighttime montage. It's not really that clever (or interesting) anymore.

I thought that too!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!Well, DHS didn’t borrow PTN for their 30th but at least the new show features a little bit of the theme song lol
I still believe that for replacing Movie Magic which had no pryo, and being the show that is before SWAGS, it's pretty good! More pyro than I was expecting, I was expecting a shot or two at the end like Jungle Book. Might have more pyro than OUAT!

It WAS missing a soundtrack (that's part of what makes it lack for me). The images do look very sharp. Hopefully I can see it tonight and we'll see how clear it looks but even on video it seems improved.
Just needs a bit more "oomph", if that makes sense? lol

Agreed on the tech part. 100% agreed. I think they're getting too caught up in all the technical aspects and missing what equals an interesting and compelling spectacle. They've done better with projection shows (heck I think Disney Movie Magic was better!) ... it's just a clip fest without the razzle dazzle of true fireworks and an impressive soundtrack. It's definitely lacking. I really wanted to like this. (Maybe my opinion will change when I see it in person ....)

and moving......they are just slapping clips together anymore, I fear the new epcot show after forever.
Apologize in advance for my question. I watched the video on YouTube and there were comments that this was a preshow? Is that accurate? Is there another movie based fw show that will follow? And do we still have the Star Wars fw show? That was pretty impressive the last time we were there in 2017...
