Magical Starlight Parade

Magical Starlight Parade is a nighttime parade that was shown at Universal Studios Japan from 2009 to 2016. It showcases magical fairy tales within bright lights.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) The parade is a blatant ripoff of Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights, and was only created to cash-in on the success of that one, considering both use floats based on fairy tales (even though Magical Starlight Parade uses public-domain versions).
 * 2) The costumes and floats are creepy and not good looking.
 * 3) The parade only features 3 fairy tales (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Abrabian Nights and Cinderella) and because of this and the amount of floats they use, the Parade drags on for far too long. It could have been better if USJ used floats that represented franchises that USJ owned the theme park rights to, like Sesame Street or Peanuts.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Dispute the originality of the fairy tale floats, The Elmo, Snoopy and Hello Kitty floats at the very beginning are quite nice to look at. These floats can spin 360 degrees and Elmo and Hello Kitty also speak (while Snoopy remains silent).
