My six year old was singing, dancing in her seat, oohing and aahing, just mesmerized by the fantastic ice skating the entire show. I could tell the kids behind us were really impressed too by their gasps and shouts. It's so cute how for them the magic is real. Both my own child and the ones nearby were answering Mickey and Minnie as they talked to the audience as if they were asking them personal questions. It was so sweet how the little boy by us called to Mickey, "I love you Mickey," over and over at the finale.
Many parts of Rapunzel's story were represented, even the less than vicious pub thugs turned up to sing a song. I really liked that the horse Maximus made an appearance as well. I would not want to be the persons inside having to skate and keep that big guy up! Another highlight is the recreated lantern scene, for prettiness alone.
This time is nice, not only for a bathroom break but also because it gave us a chance to look around at the souvenirs and pick out some refreshments. ER picked a snow cone in a keepsake cup, yet again. We're beginning to get quite a collection of these!
I don't know if it's because Brave is the newest of the Disney Princesses but her portion did not give away any real clues to the storyline. It felt like the other princess story lines were told more fully, but it could've seemed like that to me because I've of course, seen all the others and could have been mentally filling in parts to them.
Most of the BRAVE sequence was devoted to the potential suitors competing for Merida's hand in marriage. The bow shooting scene was funny and I've always liked how Merida is a strong female character. Then Merida and her mother the Queen spent some time talking and skating together. I haven't seen the movie and after this, I still have no idea what really happens in it. Which is not really a bad thing, since I'm looking forward to it being released and seeing it for the first time at home.
It was a great show; I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite part. Each Princess was performed by a talented skater and even though they are lip syncing to voice overs, they communicate the feelings and personalities of the Princesses with just their facial expressions and body language. Plus they do all that wearing skates! I call that talent, for sure!
My daughter was entranced by lights, music, dancing, big productions, and the more intimate scenes that focused on a particular Princess skating alone to one of her iconic songs. It really was a magical night for her and what parent doesn't want to provide that for their child?
Disney On Ice has always provided quality entertainment each time we've attended a performance and this one continues on that tradition. If you're not in the Metro Detroit area, check out when Disney On Ice presents Rockin' Ever After is coming to your hometown!
