When we were watching the streaming on Disney Parks video, we didn't like it and seems boring at time. Maybe because of their camera angles. But when watching it through Attractions Magazine video, we actually kind of like it even more.
Ending the show with Hunchback? ON TOP of Out There and a small dash of Hellfire? You love to see it.... And hearing Reflection in Mandarin as a duo with Christina Aguilera makes me appreciate the song even more
I LOVED the ending of "Someday" from the Hunchback musical! So beautiful and I took it as a hope for a more united future between everyone aka "someday." Since critics have said there's no message, I think there is
O...M...G!!😲 This is by far the BEST FOOTAGE of this show!!! 🎆🌐🎆 Cried through the WHOLE TING!!😭 Lol. Imagineers!...You got me!!🥰 You pulled me all way through that "Stargate"!!! 👍👍
So I actually really like this but I have a great idea which think would make this 1000 times better. So imagine instead of including random Disney IPs harmonious instead took a tour of sorts of Epcot through their characters. Let me explain. So you would open the show with a future world segment which would of course include Figment and highlights of future world. Then the fireworks goes around the Epcot world showcase and highlights each pavilion in order and still includes Disney characters. Coco, Ratatouille, Winnie the Pooh, Frozen, Mulan, the Hunchback of Notre Dame and others which relate directly to each pavilion. But the segments highlight the pavilions and culture of the country more than the characters but the characters are still prevalent. Plus add more fireworks and keep the same equipment. I just think that having these random Disney IPs makes the show feel like it shouldn’t be an Epcot show so why not include characters that all directly involve the world showcase and truly show the best that Epcot has to offer.
@2freeIvX ya I actually really did like that they added different languages, but I still think they should have chosen characters that all related to an existing Epcot Pavilion
Somthing about the original stream this didnt look so great. But honestly I totally agree. Your version is 💯 times better. Quality and everything. Thank you for sharing.
I think the show is good for what it is, but it certainly needs some improvements! Main thing? Give us a story that ties all this together! This should honestly be a journey around the world, and it doesn't really feel like that. Give us some new songs that we don't typically hear in other Disney nighttime spectaculars! The show is visually stunning, so the biggest points go towards that for me! It's a 6/10 for me.
Harmonious was 240 million dollars over budget, bringing the total to 480 million dollars. I can not imagine that heads won't roll after this debacle-the end of Steve Davison’s reign at Disney.
Guys, guys, guys!!! Give HarmonioUS a chance. Watch it on a livestream a couple of times, listen to the soundtrack alone, do something that will make you see the bigger picture here! It will grow on you. If you still don't like it, then it's fine. This was only the first show. It gets better over time!
We like it 😁. Definitely creative and a special show. Totally different then the past shows. The songs in different languages, cool. Not the best show at WDW. Think that MK show will be better.. it is different.
When I thought those barges couldn’t get any worse… Disney keeps shocking me. What was so wrong with Illuminations in the first place?! ( not like it was the most beloved & longest running show) #firebob
@The Firework DJ Why he should fired for a fireworks show? i've seen more worse disney's fireworks show than this. Harmonious already been planned maybe 3-4 years ago (especially with those barges) and just announced in 2019 when Bob Iger is still the CEO, sure you could say Bob Chappek who was the chairman of the Disney Parks and Consumer Products planned to make Harmonius its Bob Iger is the one who approved it. If you don't like it, then sure, its your preferences. Happily Ever After onced hated because it replace Wishes, then people got sad when the show is ended and replaced for Enchantment.
I wish the MAIN/round screen rotated as it appears you will ONLY be able to see that screen from 2 locations. People will now get in place 4 hours early instead of 2 hours.
I think it's worth watching, but it needs like major story into it. Like, since the title of the show is 'Harmonious', with Disney stating 'It is a transformative experience where we can discover how Disney music has the power to inspire and unite us all with the magic of possibility.', I think it needs a strong story that tells the importance of people from different areas living in harmony. Without a major story, this looks like a general experience of just listening to different language versions of soundtracks. At least putting 'Someday' as ending music is great...
ironic that they end with a song talking about how greed will not pay someday lol i like this show but it def needs some work; a narrative that carries it through the different segments would make the show feel more cohesive instead of just shuffling through various disney movie songs
I don't like to watch water show before but this is incredible. Love it. (not the reflection part 😅 looks boring, and the mulan part looks exactly like China) However, I prefer more dancers moving around. Love to watch dancers so much.
While I don't get the calls for 'more story in EPCOT lagoon shows' (I don't recall the previous two EPCOT lagoon shows having any story beyond 'we're united' and 'compilation of EPCOT harmonies'), the show is fine. I prefer it more than IllumiNations (I only liked the drum sequence at the beginning of that show) but Harmonious and EPCOT: Forever are neck-in-neck in terms of how much I liked the shows. Africa being presented only as The Lion King? That means there's a lack of African stories in Disney's IP catalogue (key word being Disney. Not Marvel) and I hope there's at least one or two Africa-based stories for the silver screen sometime in the future because that section of the show? I love it along with the France and Arabia sections.
Davison and company asked Ricky Martin to sing the CoCo section, and Martin turned down the show, and no one could figure out why. Ricky Martin is from Puerto Rico, and CoCo takes place in Mexico. Duh!
The premise of the show is borderline cringe. It’s coming off as “big corporation pats itself in the back for flexing diversity IP” It feels so disingenuous to the actual cultures they claim to be celebrating by feeling the need to remind you of their brand: “Hey guys cool show right? Just in case you forgot, we are Disney hehe ok, now here’s Arabian Nights bc Aladdin was foreign and this is Epcot” You wanna know how to respect cultures? By showcasing them unfiltered, like you know… what Epcot actually stands for. What World SHOWCASE is supposed to be.
It's bad, I'm sorry how can you display cultures of other countries with American I.P? It's just a clip show. Illumations Had substance, original music and an incredible storyline of unity
Not to mention “africa” is made up of different countrys and its “culture” according to disney is… the lion king. Lol like have they learned nothing???
The new show is grandiose but definitely not good. Just a sequence of Disney songs from movies. The majority found in Happily Ever After btw. They didn't even bother to write an original score for the opening and ending. There are no references to EPCOT itself whatsoever. There's not a storytelling. The fact that Promise is not played at the end anymore is simply the last straw. No, actually the last straw is the fact that we got FIVE HORRENDOUS PERMANENT BARGES for this! Chapek must go. It's a matter of having or not the parks in the future.
Not to be hater or anything, but man… this is probably the most disjointed, uninspiring, awfully paced nighttime spectaculars Disney has ever produced. With the amount of money and tech this show has, it should 10x more exciting. Also, the music here…. Awful. I get what they were going for, but honestly, I rather just listen to the actual music from the movie and not these weirdly arranged editions
I felt like they should have gone instrumental with the soundtrack. Our brains (all humans) when we hear a language change mid-song or mid-sentence it causes us to pause and try to make sense of it. It's a natural response to a language change. It's jarring, so when we're watching a show with a plot and it just changes, we lose the story and slow down. That slowdown takes you out of the moment. I think that really hurt this show. Before someone says well you're basically saying English should only be used. No that's not it, I'm saying it would be easier to follow without a spoken word or limited so we can track the show and get immersed in the thread or pocket of the plot. Changing mid-song is confusing on a human level. The previous illuminations had the advantage of a not widely known soundtrack tieing everyone around the lagoon together on a story with just sound and effects. Also, why kill the fireworks? The fireworks just like all effects are something that we can all watch together without any language barrier and I would think we all can appreciate them together. The tracklist sounded like someone going through a Spotify playlist that was bored. Right now this looks like it should be named Horrormonious sadly in my opinion.
I was there. It's bad. You can't zoom in and the barges and ugly octopus tentacles are underwhelming as is the lame score with no theme. Worse, those ugly things don't sink into the water when it's done they ruin the world showcase view in the day. 2 out of 10. Epic Epcot Fail. The Spaceship Earth led show is 1000 times better. Disney cheaping out again.
When we were watching the streaming on Disney Parks video, we didn't like it and seems boring at time. Maybe because of their camera angles. But when watching it through Attractions Magazine video, we actually kind of like it even more.
My lawn got flooded after I put this new sprinkler system in place, I see
Harmonious has different ending with illuminations and Epcot forever it brings memories of Epcot
illuminations is the part of Disney
Ending the show with Hunchback? ON TOP of Out There and a small dash of Hellfire? You love to see it....
And hearing Reflection in Mandarin as a duo with Christina Aguilera makes me appreciate the song even more
I LOVED the ending of "Someday" from the Hunchback musical! So beautiful and I took it as a hope for a more united future between everyone aka "someday." Since critics have said there's no message, I think there is
Then, there's Go the Distance sung in a few lines in Greek. Man, that was beautiful.
Kierra Sheard and Mrs Karen Clark Sheard killed dig a little deeper as expected 💜💪🏾I love my black people😁
Not sure how I feel about the new show, but YAY for including some Hunchback song! Hunchback is criminally underrepresented in the parks!
O...M...G!!😲 This is by far the BEST FOOTAGE of this show!!! 🎆🌐🎆
Cried through the WHOLE TING!!😭 Lol. Imagineers!...You got me!!🥰 You pulled me all way through that "Stargate"!!! 👍👍
THEY GOT SOMEDAY FROM THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME MUSICAL AAA im not crying I just got sweat in my eyes
The best video I've seen !! THANK YOU
Awesome, Attractions Magazine!!!🏆🌐🏆
omg they gave love to hunchback I’m so happy hellfire/bells of notre dame out there and someday

Yeah. It is actually fits at the MK. I think the IPs should be placed around WS section.
Exactly! This could have included IP’s and certain songs and ALSO include the actual culture of the country or continent. Not just the IP
It also desperately needs like three times more fireworks
@2freeIvX ya I actually really did like that they added different languages, but I still think they should have chosen characters that all related to an existing Epcot Pavilion
I'm stunned
Not one, but TWO Hunchback of Notre Dame songs
aint that a good thing. better than the modern songs from recent movies.
@@gissneric i know
but overall extremely underwhelmed
Man, I really do miss Epcot. And I would SO want to watch this.
Somthing about the original stream this didnt look so great. But honestly I totally agree. Your version is 💯 times better. Quality and everything. Thank you for sharing.
Freue mich darauf es Live zu sehen. Da ist noch mehr möglich. Aber schöner Beginn.
I really love this!
Jungle book and coco killed it my fav parts for sure lol

Probably the best quality audio (and video) out of all the videos produced of this show. Well done
Whoa the music is good

What was so wrong with Illuminations in the first place?! ( not like it was the most beloved & longest running show)
#firebob
It actually wasn't the most beloved. A lot of people hated Illuminatons.
The more you watch it, the more it grows on you. Well played Disney! Also great audio and picture quality!!
Wow! They using wayang puppet for Mowgli!
The voice in the end sounds like Constance. Lol
Disney sure knows how to put on a show. Love it.
@The Firework DJ Dude wtf?
@The Firework DJ bro this show is amzing your just a hater even tho this dosent fit epcots sight
@The Firework DJ I know you're stating an opinion. But please don't trash others who also stated theirs.
I feel the feeling also but i still enjoyed it

I wish the MAIN/round screen rotated as it appears you will ONLY be able to see that screen from 2 locations. People will now get in place 4 hours early instead of 2 hours.
Hahaha. No they won't. It will be an uncharge experience to watch it from the front. You'll see.

If you compare this with Disney enchantment you see- harmonious is the best one
Amazing, who cried? 😂
Stil doesnt beat aquanura (efteling)
In the moana part what language is the singing?
Sounds German
@@shotpack8374 ok
@@robloxdude5160 it might be Hawaiian now I’m thinking about it
foa'i language
They went to church on The Princess and the frog-
Pretty sad there is no story explained
Omg. I cried.
The worst part of this is that it uses some of the same songs as HEE , which makes me think Enchanted wont me temporary
I really like Harmonious, is it the best Disney nighttime show? not really, but i do really enjoy it
Not that anyone cares what we think but the announcement at the end needs to go.
Agree
I know.what even was that. For the time they have spent developing this I expected more.
Porque lo sacaron!?!?! 😭😭😭
