The Tink and Mickey floats are by far the most charming. The cool 3D effect with the lit-up balls inside the Cars truck were neat as well. The "painting" effect was COMPLETELY lost on our crowd. Only a handful of kids had the wands, and they had no idea what to do with them. When Ariel declared "Wasn't that fun???" after it ended, I thought, "Was it?" I think in Tokyo it would work great. In California maybe, though the best thing might be passholders building a up a critical mass for lots of paintbrushes... but at that point, how will anyone know it's "their" color?
