Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After officially opened today at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a full show video is now available from this morning's premiere.

Video

The show takes place inside Sunset Showcase and brings guests into the fractured world of the Magic Mirror, where Disney’s most infamous villains — Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and Maleficent — take the stage to prove who has been treated the most unfairly ever after. Through a fast-paced 18-minute mix of live performances, original songs, theatrical lighting, and screen-based effects, the audience is invited to help decide which villain deserves to claim the title. Watch the video below.

While Disney previously posted published showtimes, it’s worth noting that during these opening days, the show is running continuously throughout the day rather than sticking to the scheduled times. Crowds have been moderate, with wait times hovering around 45 minutes so far today.

I would say even more so - you could put another show in there tomorrow with some quick light and video programming! (Well…. At least a month for Disney but that’s not the point! Haha)

Trying to hold onto the throne of the Candy Kingdom is a slippery proposition. Especially since half of it's a slide.

King Candy's fine, but he never gets put in the villain group so he's clearly not marketable.

Is this an unpopular opinion? If so I wasn’t aware of it.

King Candy was a pretty neat villain.

I would say this is true, and incredibly sad given a. That movie came out 16 years ago, and b. Just judging from the amount of solo merchandise sold for other ones he still seems low on the totem pole among the ones they regularly use. (I think Gothel, who is two years newer, is well done but they never use her despite the fact that she would be ridiculously easy to pull off so I presume she doesn't sell.)

that would go pretty hard honestly...for related reasons I was also a fan of Spirit Lodge over at Knotts

The one they didn't use in the lift hill.

whatever that phenomena is that resulted in "Antz" getting published on the heels of hearing about A Bugs Life, this sort of a special effects driven entertainment show does remind me more of Cirque than anything else I've seen recently. I love this sort of in park entertainment genre: Tiki Room, Horror Makeup Show. Hopefully it's also a format that can be easy to keep fresh: in the short term by letting cast riff on their lines and be creative, and in the medium to longer term by investing in relatively low cost new focal point effect for a big new Villain, maybe a big Croc puppet from Pan or something like that. What's the most marketable/iconic villain to come out of the Disney empire's more recent efforts?

I loved the Nemo show so much. It blew me away thr first time I saw it. The quality was beyond that of a theme park.

Bocabear23 days ago

I would agree with this 1000%... The Nemo show when it opened was charming...the music was fun... It was probably the last theme park show I enjoyed....The rest have all seemed like poorly written Disney Jr. shows for the 3-5 year old set...with no further depth for the older audience... Lion King while extremely popular seemed way overrated to me too... that was definitely a One and Done....

I got to see this yesterday. This is actually really good. All the actors are great. The new song is amazing. There’s also a lot of fun stage effects. (The dragon breathing fire. The cannon in the Captain Hook scene) only thing is it would be nice if there were some other characters. Mr. Smee with Captain Hook Horace and Horace and jasper with cruella.

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.
