Apparently, there’s a reason that new addition helped Enchantment out.

HEA has a better pyro design imo.

Was watching the live stream and noticed there was one extra little farewell shell (this is common tradition for retiring shows at Disney). Very very beautiful shell and I'm glad I peeped it amongst the other finale shells.

Having a bunch of flying fish and horsetail shells in the finale is really cheap and boring-looking, but 🤷‍♀️. Also they didn't bother to add long tails on them, another finale-killer. They also cut the one impressive Mulan-flower shell that was left over from HEA. Thank goodness it's at least returning. I will give that having a lot of willows in the finale is pretty cool, but there's...just...so many. No variations. Wishes had the right amount for its finale imo.

Must have been very quick between Tink and the final Shot................... Several YT Streams are labeling this the Last Night Ever for DE......... Where have I heard that before??........... Should we be cautious in case MK keeps DE's File???.....

I had very interesting dreams during my naps during the DE finale.

I don't think anyone hated the Pyro side of DE. Unless it was the last 30 Sec of DE unlike HEA...........

TrainsOfDisneyApr 03, 2023

Compared to HEA!? The pyro seems way more interesting in DE to me.

As this is the last night where complaining about Enchantment isn't seen as not being able to let something go, I would like to highlight something I've never really seen anyone bring up but that stuck with me as being not well done; its version of the "adversity" portion. Happily Ever After and Enchantment have essentially the same thing; the part that's supposed to be sort of like the low point in the three act structure, followed immediately by the "pick yourself up part". The part where the villain music plays. HEA seems to have much more of an idea for what it's going for. It picks action scenes, and so pairs the fast paced music it with big, dramatic, quicker visuals. It's stuff like the fight between Simba and Scar at the end of that film or Aladdin dodging Jafar as a snake. It makes for a part that feels cohesive and high energy. Enchantment doesn't do that. This one seems to have just picked any moment that was sad in a movie. So while Night on Bald Mountain is playing, you've got stuff like shots of Miguel looking sad or Bing Bong disappearing, mixed in with stuff like the avalanche in Mulan. The end result feels really inconsistent and awkward, because the slow images don't feel like they match the music, and stands out to me as a major example of HEA doing something better. (To say nothing about how HEA devoted the entire castle to specific scenes whereas Enchantment gives a lot of them a little portal to work with.) Not that that's my only problem with Enchantment (or even that segment), but this'll probably be my last chance to bring it up and I've been thinking about it since I first saw the show.

I found DE underwhelming. The pyro design was a bore, with an insanely weak finale. It felt corporate, and cold. On the other hand, HEA has a ton of heart, interesting pyro design, a strong finale, I love the music used / how they changed up some of the classic tunes, and I find the projection design superior.

TrainsOfDisneyApr 02, 2023

That’s exactly how I felt as well.
