Light Magic

Light Magic was a "Streetacular" that was shown in Disneyland from May to September of 1997, and was supposed to be the successor to the Main Street Electrical Parade.

Why it Sucked

 * 1) False Advertising: The show was promoted as a successor to the Main Street Electrical Parade and also the advertising made it feel like it was a parade, but it was just a street show.
 * 2) * Even the Annual Passholder premiere was falsely advertised as being the final version of the show, not a dress-rehersal. Many viewers demanded their money back due to this!
 * 3) The show didn't feel like it was made for streets, making MSEP fans even more angry. It would've been better suited for the Fantasyland Theater than on large moving stages.
 * 4) The Pixies had ears and masks which looked really creepy, especially they easily scared children. The masks and ears were later removed within the end of the show's run.
 * 5) There were only two screens on the stages, so half of the people watching missed that part of the show.
 * 6) There was really no point in removing the Main Street Electrical Parade if it was still doing well!
 * 7) You know a street show is bad when Disneyland's other nighttime show Fantasmic attracted more crowds then Light Magic! Even the daytime-based Hercules Victory Parade attracted more crowds!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The Celtic-influenced remixes of Disney songs are pretty good, alongside the main theme "Dream our Dreams".
 * 2) The Confetti-finale was pretty good as well.
 * 3) The Lighting towers that were constructed for Light Magic on Small World Mall and atop the Main Street, USA buildings now allowed Disneyland to run the same parade in the afternoon and in the night. After Light Magic was retired the Mulan Parade which debuted the following year would also be allowed to showcase at night, in-which it mainly was shown at.
 * 4) Paint the Night, the first exclusively-nighttime parade shown at Disneyland since Light Magic is a better and superior show!
