The forest of Enchantment: A Disney musical Adventure 
The awaited new show surprises right at the first entry into the theater, with its particular forest decorations. Although the space where the dancers move onstage is relatively restricted, because the of the Frozen Sing-Along show decors played in summer and winter which are just behind, the staging and lights are enough to make us forget this.
The first thing you notice is the sung music  and the presence of a master of ceremonies accompanied by a group of dynamic dancers.
That said, the introduction of the show is too long and before the start of the show, where in fact it should be an opening spiel explanatory in french and English to arrive directly to the beginning of the show with the theme song and the arrival of the actors.
The selected Disney characters are in a theme that is familiar to them which is a good choice.
The return of Pocahontas after 17 years is simple and recall a little nostalgia. A nostalgia that is here too with the sequence of Tarzan, recalling the show ‘The Tarzan Encounter’ played here from1998 to 2012. The use of the central podium is interesting but the multiple actions of the dancers on the latter are too large and visible.
The colourful costumes evoke elements of nature and support the show theme, the forest. The costumes are very beautiful.
You’ll understand here, Disneyland Paris offers a show unique in Disney theme parks world, created by Disneyland Paris for Disneyland Paris and clearly the best scenic show created by the parc since a decade, which is too a very qualitative show for a mature audience. Unfortunately, this show follows the line of the ‘Garden party of Dingo »created last year where the creative part is too present, limiting the expected dynamism.
That is why changes in the introduction part of the show is necessary to help guests to be "in" the show right from the start. Will this artistic side be understood by younger visitors? Not sure...
And now, here is the full show filmed by Max in HD video!
At the end of the show, the cottages used for the village of Arendelle offer too themed delicacies.
