A full video of Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After has emerged following today’s Cast Member preview at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, offering a complete look at the new stage show ahead of its public debut on May 27, 2025.

The video confirms that the show runs just under 15 minutes and features three live performers: Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent. All other elements, including supporting characters, environments, and visual effects, are screen-based, utilizing large-format projections to bring the Magic Mirror’s realm to life. The result is a fast-paced, multimedia presentation that blends live acting with digital storytelling.

Also revealed in the video is a look at the updates made to the Sunset Showcase theater seating. The previous bench-style seating used during Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy has been replaced with individual cushioned seats, providing guests with a more comfortable and traditional theater experience.

The show’s storyline centers on the three villains attempting to convince the audience that they’ve been misunderstood and unfairly treated. Each character performs a musical number, with the Magic Mirror acting as a narrator and visual anchor through projections. The show ends with a lighthearted, interactive moment where guests are asked to decide who among them is the most unfairly treated.

While the production leans heavily on digital effects, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After delivers on style, theatrical lighting, and character moments that are likely to appeal to fans of Disney’s most infamous villains.

Old Nemo was really the last breath of old WDE, years after it was dissolved, helped by the fact they had literal Broadway caliber writers involved. Shame we'll never see the 2 hour version ever. As for Lion King, it's cheap for Disney (relatively) and extremely popular. Disney has never really tried, beyond the Tarzan later Nemo, to put other shows in AK besides FOLTK - and it's unfortunate they haven't.

I'd say the old Nemo was the best show I've seen at WDW in ages. Lion King...while it was fun to see 90's California parade floats again, the show was the definition of overrated. This show feels a lot like when my friend was in Paw Patrol Live. Except that had more than one actor onstage and the dog puppets were visually interesting. This is just projected vague scenery and really bad material being carried by one actor at a time.

Thank goodness, as the full screen option posted by this site seems to be broken. Although every time you try and click the option, it forces the video to restart and play another ad, so the broken site feature is obviously adding revenue to WDWmagic's pockets.

I'd watch a Villains production of My Fair Lady.

Due to a surge in interest, an updated Villains show will feature Maleficent reciting “The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane” until, to the audience’s delight, she finally achieves a perfect upper class London accent. Hook is rumored to have a dramatic act wherein the pirates are briefly transported to New Jersey and come back insisting that the stuff they are sailing in is called wooder.

This board is notorious for grasping at straws to make a point. If you don’t like the Villains show or think it should be better that’s fine. But don’t start throwing out random examples to prove something when it’s not that deep.

Yeah, both shows are meant to be major attractions for their respective lands. Heck, Le Cirque Arcanus is the ONLY attraction in the land when Ministry is having issues. Which is... not ideal, for such a big grand land.

That’s what happens when someone opens a new theme park in orlando. Which hasn’t happened in decades. People gonna talk.

Not to mention they are entirely different concepts. So mark this down as the 4000th random epic universe comment.

While I think the Villains show looks terrible, I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. The Universal HP show (as well as the HTTYD show) seems like it was designed as a relatively major attraction that will likely run for a long time, whereas Villains is a minor addition for extra (and needed) park capacity. It's a bit like comparing an E (or maybe D) ticket attraction to a C ticket. Not that that means Villains shouldn't be better than it is, though.
