Although I prefer the MK version, this version is still really good for what it is. My only small gripe is I wish they did something about the random black space on top of the screen.
I accept the screen now because of a moving duck butt.

Disney and Pixar’s ‘Coco’ Coming to ‘Mickey’s PhilharMagic’ on July 17
We can’t keep this news under Mickey’s sorcerer hat much longer. Fans of "Mickey’s PhilharMagic" will soon be tapping to a new song with the debut of an animated scene based on Disney and Pixar’s "Coco."disneyparks.disney.go.com
July 17th for DCA and DLP.. "Later this year" for MK.
For us Coco fans... hey it's SOMETHING.
This not replacing any scenes is a huge plus for this type of show.
I'm curious what made them choose Coco for the new scene over something traditionally Disney. But good on them for more Coco representation.Disney and Pixar’s ‘Coco’ Coming to ‘Mickey’s PhilharMagic’ on July 17

Yes, but I think this is a much better move.EDIT: Also wasn't the rumor at one point that the attraction would receive a complete refresh, replacing some of the Renaissance Disney scenes with new scenes from Frozen, Tangled, and Moana?
Well, I wouldn’t say it’s awful. DLP’s presentation is awful. No, actually it’s freaking awful. It repurposes the Honey I Shrunk the Audience theater! At least DCA’s is tolerable IMO.Excited to see how this is incorporated, but I do think it's going to be jarring to see the Coco's segment presumably crisp and stunning animation next to the aging outputs in the other sequences...
Now if only we could get a proper iteration of the show in DCA. The presentation is pretty awful.
So as someone whose major partially includes marketing, my mind is thinking WDW are fools if they don’t take advantage of Tron and GotG being pushed back by doing a staggered marketing plan for the 50th instead of all at once.Disney and Pixar’s ‘Coco’ Coming to ‘Mickey’s PhilharMagic’ on July 17

They already sort of are if you think about it. It could go like this. It would be like little little presents sprinkled throughout the anniversary.
- Updated Jungle Cruise
- Disney Enchantment 50th fireworks show
- Harmonious
- DAK kite show
- Ratatouille
- Updated Philharmagic
- Tron
TRON was for sure, not sure about GotG.Haven't we pretty reliably heard that TRON and Cosmic Rewind were supposed to be open by the 50th before things changed?
The connected folks over on Magic certainly think that was the plan prior to March of 2020.
So you’re telling me it’s going to take Disney six years to build an indoor coaster in a black box that’s mostly screens?TRON was for sure, not sure about GotG.
Based on rumors, Disney wants GotG to be the first new attraction after the 50th celebration is over, which means we’re probably looking at Spring-ish 2023. Ellen’s Energy Adventure closed in August 2017.
I remember the 2017 D23 Expo theme park announcements and we were all blown away and thought it was too good to be true and, well, looks like it was.So you’re telling me it’s going to take Disney six years to build an indoor coaster in a black box that’s mostly screens?
Brooooooooooooo
But it's the world's first storytelling coaster!So you’re telling me it’s going to take Disney six years to build an indoor coaster in a black box that’s mostly screens?
Brooooooooooooo
Speak for yourself!I remember the 2017 D23 Expo theme park announcements and we were all blown away
The fact that they were planning to do so many high-profile projects and planned to have them all done by 2021 is more what I meant. I mean, these were just the highlights from the announcement, there were many other things that would've been a highlight in 2019 for example.Speak for yourself!
The demise of The Great Movie Ride and the announcement of the full thematic deconstruction of Epcot mark that as a quite dark day in the Belloq household!
Anyway, on the brighter side, I'm all in favor of this addition to PhilharMagic!
The announcement will be Guardians will be finished with construction work in 2023. But they’re going to follow Iron Gwazi’s model and open the ride two years later, making it open in time for Epic Universe.The 2022 D23 Expo better give us something to look forward to beyond GotG.
Quite a few quips I could make come to mind, however, we're veering off track enough from the topic at hand so let's trying to reign this back in to Philharmagic.The announcement will be Guardians will be finished with construction work in 2023. But they’re going to follow Iron Gwazi’s model and open the ride two years later, making it open in time for Epic Universe.
I just saw a video and wow. DLP's one just miniaturizes the normal screen to get the "it's larger than you thought" effect. It just looks bad.Well, I wouldn’t say it’s awful. DLP’s presentation is awful. No, actually it’s freaking awful. It repurposes the Honey I Shrunk the Audience theater! At least DCA’s is tolerable IMO.
But yeah, it’s a nice addition to the show. The great thing about PhilharMagic’s premise is that it’s flexible for completely new scenes.
So you’re telling me it’s going to take Disney six years to build an indoor coaster in a black box that’s mostly screens?
Brooooooooooooo
