    *chuckle*

    I was going to post their review of the new WOC show in a new thread but I've used up my 5 LA Times articles for the month.

    "SO what if I am too old, live in a another state, am too short, don't sing (at least not so anyone wants to hear me), and haven't danced (seriously) since I was 18?"

    They say that at Disneyland anything is possible.

    Seems like he was generally underwhelmed, which is in line with my feelings on the original show:

    Well, let's see... he starts off with:

    >>I watched a media preview on Wednesday night and found that I remained stunned by the scope and scale of World of Color and impressed by the audacity of the original water show concept<<

    He then ends on a high note stating, "I’m just pleased that World of Color has been successfully updated, and I’m more than happy to sacrifice some of the spectacle of the original show for a greater emphasis on storytelling in “Celebrate”". In between he critiques the pacing and content, but overall his review is positive, unlike your viewpoint of the show, which is all wet. :D

Although the original show had a lot of great technical elements in it, it always felt like the end product was less than the sum of its parts. Although I haven't seen the new one, it seems like it may have also gotten bogged down in the attempts to rely on video footage and awkwardly scripted transitions, rather than the fountains themselves

    To maximize your day, I suggest timing your viewing of Eureka between performances of Three Bags Full and La Feet (now featuring Max!) at the Golden State Amphitheater

    Also, why didn't they use the articulating Mickey Mouse like they do on the other shows and parades? Strange.
