I just watched the World of Color ONE debut on YouTube

It's a bit underwhelming to be frank

So far nothing has been able to hit as hard as the original WoC

Here it is if you want to see

Listening to the soundtrack the New WOC is very much what I wanted. Its not just the generic big Disney stuff I've heard since I was a kid...NEW and Old songs and things we just haven't seen represented in the parks ever

I love it but understand many care more about the tech....then the feelings

So after seeing the two nighttime shows...

World of Color: One - The show has its moments, or shall I say, segments. Particularly the Soul, Moana and Mulan segments. And there lies one of the issues I have with this show, it just feels like a selection of segments and nothing that feels tied together in one nice package. It feels like it's missing a through-line, and with the show having multiple hard fade-to-black pauses, there's no real flow to the show and it doesn't come together. It just comes off like a clip show, which for me is one of WoC's main weaknesses as many variations (including the original) can feel like one at times. But for One, it feels the most apparent as a clip show.

Another thing of note is the music. I do like the original song, and while I appreciate they're using songs that aren't as widely represented in films, there's a catch-22 to that. While the songs can be great supplemental material, the show is trying to use them as anchor songs...and they're just not strong enough to be anchors.

All in all, it's a mixed bag.

Wonderous Journey, however...this one's a winner! I was curious to see how they would pull it off with them touting this'll feature all the animated films, since in all honesty, that could be clip show territory right there. But the end result is something that doesn't feel like a clip show, it's a nice show that flows well with great transitions, delivers some nice moments and wraps it up in a nice package.

Music-wise, I like the original song as well, but the show really shines with its medleys. The "I want..." medley is a big highlight, and one I didn't know I wanted until I heard it! Hat's off to the composers since those aren't the easiest things to pull off, but they did! It's a fun way to reutilize the big hits than just playing them outright like most of the shows do.

Overall, I really like this show. For me it's one of the better anniversary shows done stateside in a while, which is good considering I was starting to get a tad worried with the less than stellar nighttime shows the company has been putting out.

They really should be commended for the fact that Treasure Planet provides the one of the big highlights with the projections.

Saw it last night. I agree it felt like there was no real flow to the show. There were great moments and the crowd went nuts for the Avengers section.

Overall I liked it but the sum of the parts does not equal a whole.

The "Start a Wave" song they do in World of Color sounds like something SeaWorld would use for an Orca show lol

I guess the one I saw was fighting *a lot* of wind...I will say this one certainly looks better

Although it still feels off..."smashed together" would be the best way I can describe it

As for World of Color One they could have done better like adding a live action Disney film either Mary Poppins, Pirates or Tron, The Muppets with Rainbow Connection, and 20th Century Studios with Avatar or West Side Story.

I’m pretty surprised Tron isn’t in the show but when you keep reusing lion king and so on their is little for muppets and Tron

i love how both shows do try new song and how they keep doing that over blasting let it go and friend like me on most shows in the past

Good to see something, anything finally going into the Hyperion. I wonder when we will hear about this show and a timeframe though Maybe in 2024?

A Hercules live show might be the one live show I would probably want to see at DCA. Pleasantly surprised by the choice. I'd go see it!

From what I understand Encanto is going straight to Broadway.

Was reading through the latest MiceChat forum and someone in the comments pointed out they think the new show going into the Hyperion is not Hercules. It will be a theme park version of Rogers the Musical. Andrews sisters being mentioned for role 1 in the casting call is the giveaway since that is a very specific WW2 era mention.
