I live in LA so I've seen the original many times. I will say this reminds me a lot of the winter special show they do. It lacks the 'WOW' of the original because it isn't a non-stop onslaught of Disney classics. The original show transitions seamlessly from scene-to-scene without the need of commentary. Neil Patrick Harris (despite the fact I love the guy) is a bit of a buzz kill for a show like this. The only part that struck a moment of awe with me in this show was Star Wars.
I do hope they eventually switch back to the original. They would update that with current films all the time (Brave, Pirates, etc), so just throw in Frozen and Star Wars and were golden!
