Good morning, everyone! As I type these words, we’re mere hours away from the cinematic event of the season — I, of course, am referring to the unveiling of the annual winners of the Phoenix Critics Circle Awards! (I’m part of the PCC, and will be finding out tonight if my fellow critics correctly award The Banshees of Inisherin with as many of the top awards as possible, since RRR only got a few nods — far fewer than were in my ballot, I will tell you.)
And yes, of course, that new Avatar movie comes out tonight, too. But enough about movies. Let’s first bid adieu to the Main Street Electrical Parade, which lost in a squeaker yesterday, and congratulate IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth for moving onto the Final Four. Which nighttime show will join the Epcot spectacular? Well, it’s time for you to decide, so let’s vote.
(1) Fantasmic (DL) vs. (3) Electrical Water Pageant: Accept no substitutes, folks. If this whole bracket comes down to the two Fantasmic iterations in the continental Disney parks, I will be voting for the Anaheim version. So you know I would throw my weight behind the Anaheim version here. I’m thrilled that the Electrical Water Pageant made it this far. Good for that little show! But at this point, I can’t go with the underdog. The big dog is here for a reason.
I vote for Mickey and his colorful imagination. How about you?
I am taking the loss of the MSEP personally, and will vote only as a spoiler from here on out. I’m comfortable with the morality of my decision.
I had to go with the memory of the first time I stayed at Fort Wilderness...EWP it is. Call me sentimental, I don't care. Weird I may be, not heartless.
