It's funny to read everyone's criticisms of the show. They're very similar to World of Color when it first debuted. In a clip show like this, you're forced to use your own emotional connection to the films being used. And as hard as it is to believe, there are fanatical Disney theme park fans out there who have never seen Lion King or Bambi so flashes of those scenes were falling flat, then others said including them made for a strange tonal shift.
WOC seems much more warmly received now than it was then so when it's all said and done, maybe this will too. I haven't seen it yet but I actually loved Cinematic Spectacular and did think it packed an emotional punch but that has to do more with my connection to the films presented. They used music from Casper which is one of my favorite film scores, Morgan Freeman saying something about imagination and dreams being Universal, the Universal intro... I was MISTY. Not sure if this one has anything similar to that.
