Oh - there's a theme?
I honestly had not noticed it in the couple of times I've seen HEA whereas I thought the theme for Wishes was very prominent and just fine. HEA just seemed to be a compilations of randomly selected songs. But I spent the first time trying to figure out most of the songs and recognizing very few. I've watched a few movies just so I could enjoy HEA more but still missedy coherent story coming out in the show. Guess that's for next time!
I have found the transitions abrupt as others apparently do too.
I guess it helps when you've seen most of the movies, but you can actually get the theme from the lyrics of the song (I have yet to see Brave and Hunchback)
Intro: narrator tells us to look inside our hearts and unlock the magic within
Theme song: Dreams that we are meant to follow and taking steps to reach our happily ever after
Wishing section:
Princess and the Frog's :Tiana's makes a wish on a star
Little Mermaid: Part of your World
Hunchback: Out There
Journey starts to get your dreams:
Brave: I Will Fly (chase the wind and learn to fly)
Moana: How Far I'll Go
Friends help you along the way:
Aladdin:Friend like Me
Tarzan: Trashing the Camp
Lion King: Hakuna Matata
Toy Story: You've Got a Friend in Me
Jungle Book: Bear Neccesitties
You need loved ones:
Frozen: Love is an Open Door
Lion King: Can You Feel The Love Tonight
Tarzan: You'll be In My Heart
Tangled: I see The Light
You will find troubles and bumps along the way to reaching your goals:
Mulan: The flowers that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful of all
Lion King: music from Simba's and Scar's battle
Pirates of the Caribbean fight track
You reached your goals and get a heroes welcome:
Hercules Go The Distance with Mufasa's voice "Remember who you are"
Narrator: and so our journey comes to an end but yours continues on, grab hold of your dreams and make them come true, for you are the key to unlocking your own magic. Now go let your dreams guide you reach out and find your happily ever after
Theme song: ...just look up and reach to the sky, we all have the courage to fly (blending perfectly with Peter Pan's) You can fly, you can fly, you can fly and Tink flying
Seriously, I'm not trying to convince anyone to love this show but it does have a very thought out story, the entire soundtrack is coupled with what you see on the castle, I think people just want to see everything, I just let my eyes guide me to where they want to go. I've watched from inside MK and outside and each time have loved the show. It might not be for everyone and that is ok, but it does have a story and a very powerful message
