- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has it’s Nighttime Glow
- Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris will get a new name and look,
After transporting generations of guests into the magic of movie-making, the second park at Disneyland Paris is entering a new era marked by a fresh creative vision, brand-new experiences, an expansion on a never-before-seen scale, and the introduction of an all-new visual identity.
To celebrate this new chapter, Walt Disney Studios Park will be renamed Disney Adventure World when World of Frozen, a new immersive area dedicated to the wintery world of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen will come to life, bordering a majestic bay. While the ongoing transformation of the park is sure to take the guest experience to a whole new level, the entire resort will continue to elevate its offerings in the coming years.
“Embracing a transformation that involves the overhaul of more than 90% of Walt Disney Studios Park since its debut in 2002, we’re unveiling a fresh creative vision that has completely redefined our second gate,” Natacha Rafalski, President of Disneyland Paris shared. “It’s set to offer unique adventures in immersive worlds, serving as a perfect complement to Disneyland Park.”
- World Showcase
- Wish – The Disney 100 love-letter to Disney Animation
https://collider.com/wish-disney-easter-eggs
- The movie creators have confirmed that there are over 100, possibly as many as 150, easter eggs in Wish.
- Look – does this movie pack the emotional punch of Encanto or Moana, or even Frozen. No. But what it does do brilliantly, is celebrate the magic and history of Disney animation – and how WISHES have always been part of the magic.
- It’s a love-letter to the first 100 years of Disney animation
- There is so much to love about the movie and this heroine – not to mention that mixed raced kids now have a princess to see themselves in.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
- The look of the movie:
- Uses the same aspect ratio, and design as Sleeping Beauty – which had not been used since that film.
- We return to the Storybook opening like we saw so often in early movies
- The Villian Magnifico
- Disney had gotten away from traditional villains, which is good, but here that take it back to a big baddie
- The green streams of Magnifico’s magic calls back to Malefiscent
- Even his name harkens back to her.
- As does his staff
- Magnifico stores people wishes, unburdening them of that hope, and eventually he starts to “pop” people’s wishes.
- Those 3 he pops specifically call out wishes related to Aurora’s dress, or the ability to fly like Peter Pan, or to find the perfect nanny – which is when Magnifo says he is “poppin” them.
- Literally has his own magic mirror and says… Mirror Mirror on the wall
- And he has a Snow White’s poison apple on his desk.
- Ultimately he gets sucked into his sceptor – and Kelli immediately said “itty bitty living space” a’la Aladdin.
- Asha’s friends
- There are 7 of them.
- Then are imbued with slight characteristics of the 7 dwarfs.
- Their names start with the same letter as their Dwarf counterpart.
- At one point Gabo even announces that he’s grumpy.
- That guy is played by Harvey Guillen – Guillermo!!
- Asha’s animal friends
- Bambi,
- Thumper,
- John the Bear
- Plants
- Star brings flowers to life that harken to the talking flowers in Alice in Wonderland
- It brings to life mushrooms
- Asha
- Her goal at the start of the movie is to literally become a sorcerers apprentice – a’la Mickey in Fantasia
- As she is trying to lead Magnifico away from the castle, she dons a cloak with a purple ribbon super similar to the one worn by Fairy Godmother.
- Then Star makes her a magic wand – so her Fairy Godmother look is complete.
- And what does she do, she accidentally adorns a tree with a pink dress that looks strikingly similar to the dress that Cindy’s mice and bird friends help her make.
- Star
- Sprinkles stardust, similar to the way Tink sprinkles pixie dust.
- It’s face is a heart, but also is supposed to harken back to Mickey’s face.
- Enchants a bunch of stuff in Magnifico’s dungeon/tower – including a quill that immediately starts to draw a Mickey Mouse.
- Her grandfather, Saba, is 100 years old – which they mention over and over.
- His wish, which Asha rescued for him, was to create a song that would inspire generations…
- And what do we get – in the post credit scene, we see that he is strumming the notes for When You Wish Upon A Star – the whole movie is an origin story for the Wishing star and the Song we’ve grown to love and has become an anthem for all things Disney.
