First look video from the upcoming Harmonious nighttime spectacular at EPCOT

With just a few months to go before the debut of Harmonious at EPCOT on October 1, Disney has shared some behind-the-scenes details of the show's story and a first look video at some of the show from inside the park.

According to Disney, "Harmonious" illuminates our shared humanity, bringing to life the vision of EPCOT through a celebration of our world and its promise. Over the years, cultures from around the world have provided inspiration for Disney films and music. In "Harmonious," a global community of musical artists has come together and reinterpreted those familiar stories and songs in their own voice, honoring their respective cultures.

The show moves through three distinct chapters, inviting us to gather on the shores of World Showcase Lagoon, celebrate the countries and cultures of the world, and ultimately unite to create a bright tomorrow. "Harmonious" begins with a sunrise, and as the world awakens around us, we set out on a journey that takes us across the globe. From the South Pacific home of "Moana" and a Middle-Eastern interpretation of "Aladdin" to "The Jungle Book" in India, China's legend of "Mulan," the European nations that inspired "Brave" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and so much more.

Here's a first look at a recent rehearsal of the show from inside EPCOT, and some details from Steven Davison, Executive Creative Director and Mark Huffman, Show Director.
