The show, which takes place primarily at Sleeping Beauty Castle and Main Street, U.S.A. features nods to every Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film to date, from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” to “Strange World.” Additional projections can be seen on the façade of “it’s a small world” in Fantasyland.

Aurora is shown during the “Once Upon a Dream” number from “Sleeping Beauty.”

During the “Encanto” segment, the castle transforms into the Madrigals’ casita.

The “toy ships” segment shows different vehicles and large creatures from Disney’s animated canon represented as playthings. Films referenced in this segment include “Lilo & Stitch” and “Treasure Planet.”

We then head to San Fransokyo and the world of “Big Hero 6.” As “Immortals” plays, Baymax takes to the skies and flies overhead.
