I got this same inspiration today. Fantasia 2000 was just as good as I remembered.

This show has helped me remember that I haven’t seen many of these Disney films in years. Literally haven’t seen Fantastia 2000 since I watched it in IMAX back in 1999. I just may watch it sometime today.

The show just makes me want to watch all the classic Walt films and just unwind and enjoy brilliant storytelling and not so brilliant guilty pleasures Walt had nothing do with such as Home on the Range

Did not go over well with me on the livestream I watched last night. Just felt like like they were trying to cram far too much into a 15 minute show. I will give it another watch on hopefully a better quality recording soon.

My thoughts on first viewing were similar.
Just too much going on once things get going.

I also find the style of graphics / color palette to be too ‘busy’ visually.
The only real ‘wow’ moments for me first time was when the Castle had a ‘sparkling platinum’ look for a brief moment between show segments.

As always, one really needs to see this type of show in person before passing judgement.
But upon first viewing my impression towards the end of the show was it tries to be a copy somewhat of WDWs ‘Happily Ever After’ production.
There are similar elements not just visually but ‘story’ wise.
Most of today’s stateside Disney Theme Park fireworks shows seem to just be copies of each other..with the same basic ‘video clip show’ and overstimulation in the visuals.

Sometimes less is more.
Someone remind them of that….

Having said all that, the projections on the Castle look very nice image quality wise.
The colors have a good saturation and the images are clear.

We have all this great tech now….but have yet to have seen a production really put it to good use.
Call me old fashioned, but the original ‘Remember….Dreams Come True’ at Disneyland still has not been topped.
And that had no fancy ( and overused ) projections.

In person my impression is “oh so this is what HEA should be like!”

Also… this is a Davidson show correct? I mean I feel like it had to be.

Definitely. I’m actually considering re-watching Home on the Range. Only saw it once in theaters when I was a kid. I remember liking it, but not loving it. Definitely not rewatching Chicken Little, that one was a snooze fest (my entire family fell asleep in the theater). I also want to re-watch Treasure Planet, Atlantis, and The Black Cauldron (I love that movie).

I watch the Walt classics more than I watch the more modern ones. However, there are some that I haven’t seen in a while that I’d like to watch, like Bambi.

Rewatching Dumbo right now saw the first three films a few months ago for funsies. Bambi will be next. Then a few of the package films as I played a few of them for my boyfriend (trynna get him up to speed on all the older Disney films, animation first then live-action). Have to agree with you on Chicken Little still have literally 0 interest in rewatching the film.

Home on the Range was my favorite film when I was three/four and I went through three DVD copies from how scratched up Id get them by watching them nonstop 😅 Now for me it’s pure nostalgia albeit I’m aware its not a good film.
