According to the "Actu Disneyland Paris" Facebook page, a new show is coming to the Chaparral Theatre. The new show is named "Story Book" and it will replace the "Frozen sing-along" show during the swing into spring season. After this the Frozen sing-along will return for the summer and christmas season.

I'm not sure what to think of this... I like that they are developing new shows. This is what every fan has been waiting for. And I get that the Frozen storyline only works for Summer and Winter. But really, this show is popular enough to go year round.
"Story Book" reminds me of a very nice show they used to host on the Castle Stage. Same name. Same show?
What are your thoughts on this?

This is exciting!
If I am honest, Frozen isn't one of my most favourite Disney movies (sorry!) so I am interested to see what this could be - it'll be refreshing to have something new!
What was the previous "Story Brook" show like?
First of all - it's great that Chapparal Theater has been used again. It was such a waste of a super place for entertainment.
I like the idea of a new show and a seasonal change. It can not be the same all year round, so is my feeling. And they have to do a big efford to entertain the visitors during 2016, marked with a lot of refurbishment work.
Frozen isn't exactly my favorite movie either, so I welcome the diversity :)
I think it's great they are finally developing new shows again.
Mind you, if the Frozen show is coming back for next summer, does that mean they are going to make Frozen Summer a thing the next couple of years?
HildeKitten, I hope not. Hopefully they'll prepare something new for summer 2017 -25th anniversary.

Haha, I thought I was the only one!
Frozen Summer will probably return in 2016 but like Mileto says, hopefully they'll prepare something new for 2017!
Can they just make it replace the Frozen Singalong in the 25th anniversary year please?
Couldn't care less about a singalong show personally (least of all a Frozen one) but wouldn't mind seeing this Storybook show when I go back to the park in 2017 given it would be like when I went to see the Winnie the Pooh and Lion King shows in 2007.
I would love for the Tarzan show to start again!

Yeah! Some of the old shows need to come back; it really added to the Disney experience when I went.

I remember the Tarzan show! When did it finish? I always giggled at the monkeys in the tent...
Yay ;D

Really hope this show fully replaces the Frozen Singalong by 2017. Have a feeling it's going to be a proper effort at a show as opposed to how terrible the Frozen Singalong sounds.
I'm gonna go against the groans and say we actually enjoyed the frozen singalong. However I wasn't planning on I going next ye art with all the closures, now I may have to!
Oh I've frozen mad girls but they love Rapunzal as well (and I prefer it!) ;)
Any ideas as to when this will run from and too? If it's only the spring season and I'm going to have to do some crazy saving!
From early February 2016 until 8 May 2016, according to these two tweets from @DisneylandBerry.

Gosh I hope they do a soft opening of this beforehand as we are there last week of January. We were there 2 days before the 20th anniversary stuff but managed to see the parade and the train with characters. My girls would be so excited 😁
Much as I do think this new show sounds wonderful, I'm just a bit concerned that it will mean Rapunzel won't be doing her Spring Meet and Greets....?
I think they should do small Broadway-like versions of The Lion King, Beauty and The Beast etc.
Tarzan was a good show!
I would love for this to span out longer than they currently have planned! I'm planning a trip in November 2016 and I would love to see this, I have nothing against Frozen but I think this is a great opportunity to get some lesser appreciated characters such as Pocahontas into the park :D Can't wait to see how this all starts to come together and hopefully we get some more news soon!

There was one when I went in 2007 but they've got rid of it now. It would be great if they bring it back sometime though.
They used to do half hour shows all the time at Videopolis.
I've seen "The Hunchback of Notre Damn, Mulan, The Lion King, and lots where they did compilations of a few films. We used to be spoilt for choice between all the theatres. Prior to the Lion King at Videopolis there was a different show there each year, I think they ran the Lion King show for too many years. I also enjoyed having two shows at the Chaparral,
Tarzan in summer & Mickey's Winter Wonderland during winter.
I look forward to seeing the shows coming back to the park, fingers crossed that this will happen.
The short shows in Videopolis used to be amazing!!! I remember seeing Mulan and Lion King when I was little and it was my favourite thing to do. The Mickey's Winter Wonderland show is still a point of contention in our house as I refused to be the 'chosen child' and go on stage.
I wonder if this means that if it is for during the Swing into Spring festival also, the festival will last untill May, so we kind of have dates approx for the festival, hehe.
I really hope they exyrnd this, e usually go in September but I don't think I could resist a tangled show!

I would be happy if there was just one show like the Lion King one but ideally I'd like three or four.
I've seen an Aladdin one mentioned on other Disneyland Park sites. Perhaps that might come to Disneyland Paris if the Walt Disney World company take over completely?
Does anyone knoe when in February?
I'm there the 1st to the 5th & think I'll probably miss it.
Maybe if the new show is a success it will be come back after Frozen Summer Fun 2016 from September until Nov then for Xmas Frozen Sing Along returns and then this show returns afterwards so they alternate. It sounds like it's going to be a great show.
I'm going near the end of January so i'll probably miss any soft openings too as it's the week before the end of January. Gutted!!

How about they just keep Frozen for Christmas and have this new show on the rest of the year? That would be better IMO.
