Imagineers have created a new limited-time sequence for Spaceship Earth based on the Academy-Award-winning song “Colors of the Wind” from the 1995 Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Pocahontas,” Zach Riddley, Portfolio Executive, New Experience Development at Walt Disney Imagineering, announced.
The addition of the lights on Spaceship Earth and the creation of the “Beacon of Magic” show each night, has also allowed Disney to create limited-time sequences.
Each festival, according to Riddley, will have a new limited-time sequence that ties “to the spirit of each festival and the spirit of EPCOT in stunning and poetic moments never before possible on this grand icon,” he wrote on Instagram.
During the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts the limited light show was to the Muppets’ “Rainbow Connection.”
“I am excited to announce that tonight we are premiering another of these new sequences to kick off the launch of EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! The festival lasts through July 4, 2022.
“Our Imagineering team set this stunning new sequence to the Academy-Award winning song “Colors of the Wind” from the 1995 Walt Disney Animation Studios film ‘Pocahontas.’ The orchestral variation of this song was chosen for its message of intrinsic value and respect for beauty of nature and living things – with new visual flourishes that evoke the musical scene from the film with techniques entirely original for Spaceship Earth,” he announced.
In addition for the first time Spaceship Earth will glimmer with “vibrant greens, earth tones and pastels to celebrate the rejuvenation of spring,” he wrote.
