Last week was the debut of a brand new version of World of Color, a show celebrating Disneyland's 60th anniversary by way of a whole new storyline devoted to the history of Walt Disney and Disneyland. Hosted by Neil Patrick Harris and Mickey Mouse, it's a rousing show with spectacular new effects, and I loved how it turned out. Here are some photos from the show, shot last Friday evening during the 24-hr day.

Things kick off with a noticeable change as the entire backdrop is lit with color. The lights added to the structure of California Screamin' really do a dazzling job engaging the audience! |

It's Mickey Mouse! He's a star in this show. |

The first part focuses on the movie successes of Walt Disney, starting with that fateful premiere at Carthay Circle Theater. |

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was the first fully animated full length movie ever, and it was a hit! |

That leads to a montage of Disney movie classics that have come since then. |

And then the Frozen segment. |

At first, I groaned at the insertion. All of these classics have to share a montage, but "Let It Go" gets its own feature? |

But the new added effects were pretty impressive, and I ended up turning around and enjoying this. |

The smoke and fountains are quite amazing in scale! |

The effect is very, very awe-inspiring. |

Then comes Disneyland and its hit attractions. This like like a condensed version of Remember... Dreams Come True. Here's the Splash Mountain segment. |

Star Tours becomes a part advertisement for Star Wars, with clips from the trailer of The Force Awakens. |

And Walter Elias Disney to reflect on how he'd do it again, if he could do Disneyland again. He wouldn't change a thing. |
