Cool concept art. Looking forward to see the parade on my visit in May.
More concept art has appeared online:

Pixar sure plays a big part in this parade. Nemo, Incredibles, Monsters Inc. and Toy Story :)
Jubilation is going to be something else and I can't wait to see the final product. By the way the art showing all the floats was an original piece of artwork that was auctioned off during the recent Tokyo Disney Resort Fan Festival. I would just like to point out these images are from a much earlier draft of the parade. The Nemo float has been replaced by a Peter Pan float and the Incredibles are no longer riding an actual float but small flying saucer type devices. Other smaller details are also incorrect, I'm afraid.
This parade will also not feature a parade stop!
that concept art looks really cool if the rest of the parade looks that good it will be a hell of a parade.
Looking very fresh and promising!
But Malin, maybe some more new intresting changes? Maybe some pictures/art links?
Hi Soap, more concept art is scheduled to be featured in Issue 12 of the LaughingPlace Magazine. By the way something new to report regarding the TDR 25th Anniversary is a new Fireworks show Dreams.

Love the concept art. It looks really classy and artistic.

Dreams, eh? That's original. :wink: Anyway, do you know what to expect of the show? The fireworks were maybe the only disappointing aspect of my visit last year.
I could see the Pixar floats being similar to the ones at Pixar Play Parade inculding with the Incredibles & Finding Nemo.
The Lion King/Jungle Book/Tarzan unit would look really crowded up with all of those people dressed like animals lifting birds up and giraffes and hippos and snakes but the float looks really great and so does the others.
Jubilation the new parade for the 25th Anniversary has started previews.

YOU MEAN MINNIE GETS HER OWN FLOAT? WOW! THIS IS AWESOME! Wish I was going to Tokyo!
Minnie's dress is so pretty!!!
i wouldn't mind tiggr's job on the pooh float!
Quotei wouldn't mind tiggr's job on the pooh float!
I want peter pans job!
The parade floats are AMAZING, i love that swinging ship with peter pan on it.
But EWWW :oops:, the high school musical add in on the song is so CHEESEY !
It's like a weird combination of Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade and the Pixar Play Parade :lol:
I definitely prefer ours to theirs, its so much better. And like Owen said, the music :-s
I like the idea of Tigger bouncing up and down with a bungee in his tail but the floats are so close to eachother.
Seriously... this parade is amazingly - overdone.
There just seems to be too much of it: too much of amazing floats, too much of amazing costumes, too much musical elements... in the end, it looks like a weird mish-mash, bordering bad taste, in my humble opinion...
I don't know... there's just something with the stuff that Tokyo is producing lately that I find extremely overdone... like a badly decorated pink Christmas tree...

I have to agree with that a bit, It's not too cheesy like Block Party Bash, There isn't floats that look like plastic like Pixar Play Parade but I do find it quite wired and too many actrobats and I don't want the same thing happening like Pixar Play Parade.

Hear hear!
I often think it's just that I've grown up only knowing of DLRP and their more humble budgets... but it can't be. I'd take OUADP over this parade any day. With OUADP it's a good show but more human-sized, more intimate. Fewer performers, yes, but parades like this at Tokyo feel so big, so loud that you must be a bit disconnected from them. Which kind of defeats the point of a Disney parade for me. All that said, this is probably just a big cultural difference and exactly what the audience over there wants.
So I've said it before and I'll say it again -- imagine what DLRP would do with a budget like this.

As a HSM fan like me, I've now grown out of it but when I heard it I just said "Oh God!", How about a Tokyo version of 'Just Like We Dreamed It'?

Same here!
I don´t know especial why but this parade don´t get me. I like some parts very much but all together and then this "music". Very strange. But maybe they have another taste over there like baloo said.
I just can say that I´m very happy to be near to DLRP and see the in my eyes miles better OUADP. This at tokyo looks for me like a try to make it better which get totally in the wrong direction. Bigger, louder but sooooo ugly in this. :(
They even need to do something about the Jungle float & Peter Pan float, Simba is standing on some kind of dragon and that curved yellow thing that supports the ship looks like a banana.
I'm planning not to ruin the surprise when I get there, so I can't comment on the parade videos. But does anyone know anything about the new fireworks show that are supposed to premiere tonight? I can't seem to find any information about it, and was wondering what the scale of it will be.
And I don really get the criticism on the castle decorations on this board. Maybe the Paris one is better, but I saw a video of Tokyo's decorations at night, and they have some fancy lighting technology that looked really good.

I think that´s because most expected something really great and powerfull cause Tokyo has so much money and could spend a very much higher budget for the birthday. And so it´s maybe a bit dissapointment about a more tacky decoration then in a park where money isn´t always there. Despite such hard financial times DLRP makes a better deco. That´s hard to understand :wink:
For me: I was a bit dissapoint cause I expected something extremly stunning after the 15. of DLRP. Something that breaks again the border of magic set by DLRP last year. But that isn´t happend :cry: And I wished it so much :(
On the other hand it must be possible to criticize Tokyo Disney Resort for some things that aren´t such wonderful as in other parks worldwide. I mean you can read in many forums strange comparison between DLRP and TDR. "Wow DLRP has such wonderful decorations and a wonderful parade" "Yes but Tokyo Disney Resort makes it better" is an often read phrase. So why not saying when DLRP turns the tables. :mrgreen:
It´s a bit strange for me that you can get paddywhacks from everywhere if you say some harmless criticism against TDR. That can´t be the right way and it can´t be good for the resort. The should have the ear on the street and react. If there´s some criticism possible after so much years of endless and stunning magic there must have gone something wrong in the shorter past. Tokyo Disney Resort was always a benchmark for me. But thats a hard possition for a resort and maybe it couldn´t always be the top position player it was in the past. :wink:
But the next 25 will show this! Wouldn´t write so much as I have now :lol:
So let me say: I wish the very best for the resort! Hope the next 25 years shares a lot of magic with us!
And cause today is exactly your Birthday I just can say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGICAL TOKYO DISNEY RESORT
Good because I caught the celebrations of the 50 anniversary in WDW, then the 15 anniversary in DLRP and now within 3 months I will be there at the celebration of 25 TDR.
I have not seen any of the videos and hope that the surprise to within 3 months. And then dare my opinion after seeing various celebrations.
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Wow, looks pretty cool. I love the Peter Pan float :D

Cultural differences might have a lot to do with it - but maybe they just wanted to be extremely creative... and didn't really succeed. I'd love to know what the Japanese audience has to say about their new parade...

Be careful with statements like these... :-"

Uhm, I thought the same company made both parades; Disney Creative Entertainment?

Hey, I have no problem with people criticizing. I just thought it was a little harsh. Tokyo still kicks ass in my opinion.
Anyway, I found this video of the new fireworks; //http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qziTfDhzvo&eurl=http://video.aol.com/video-detail/tokyo-disneyland-25th-anniversary-fireworks-dreams/2208870299
Looks like a modest update. Well, well, I guess Dreamlights are TDL´s nighttime spectacular.
Quote from: "SMCD"Uhm, I thought the same company made both parades; Disney Creative Entertainment?
Well, that's a really interesting point...
They do seem to share ideas like the Christmas illuminations, HSM shows, various music and so on. The actual designing of each entertainment is done at the specific resort though, as far as I know. For example with OUADP, wasn't that designed in Paris and led by Katy Harris, then they just had to take their ideas to Jay Rasulo in Burbank to get the green light?
It seems to be different to how WDI works, where it's one company designing for all resorts and things are much more pooled together.

Hm, I don't know much about it. According to Wikipedia, //http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Creative_Entertainment, Creative Entertainment is a part of WDI. They might develop stuff at divisions at the respective resorts, though.
Love the floats Hate the music! Why cant TDR produce some really nice parade music like all of the other resorts???
