On his Instagram account, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley announced that the International Flower & Garden Festival will debut a new Beacons of Magic show on Spaceship Earth starting March 2, 2022.
The new show will feature the song “Colors of the Wind” from the 1995 Disney film “Pocahontas.” Riddley explained that this will be the first time that Disney has colored Spaceship Earth using earth tones.
Here is what the Imagineer had to say:
Our Imagineering team set this stunning new sequence to the Academy-Award winning song “Colors of the Wind” from the 1995 Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Pocahontas”. The orchestral variation of this song was chosen for its message of intrinsic value and respect for beauty of nature and living things – with new visual flourishes that evoke the musical scene from the film with techniques entirely original for Spaceship Earth.
Keep a look out for a few homages for fans who know the film and the song well. We also have – for the first time – Spaceship Earth will glimmer in vibrant greens, earth tones and pastels to celebrate the rejuvenation of spring.
