In an Instagram post on the Walt Disney World Annual Passholder account (@wdwannualpassholder), Disney has shared a new look at the main villains of the new “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” show coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
‘Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After’
The caption reads, “Mirror, mirror in our hand, which villain is most misunderstood in all the land? Which of the three headlining villains in Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After do you think got a bad shake?”
The three villains headlining the show are Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, and Captain Hook. While these villains will appear onstage, several other villains will make appearances on “mirror” screens.
The artwork of Maleficent shows her in a layered stone frame with an image of a dragon below her. She wears her usual black and purple robes, and horns adorn her head. Perched on her right shoulder is her pet raven, Diablo. In her right hand, she holds her scepter. The background of the frame glows green with the Forbidden Mountain in the distance, where you can see Maleficent’s castle. The wall behind the frame is made up of broken glass.
Cruella de Vil is the next artwork shared by Disney. She wears her traditional outfit of a black dress with a fur coat and bright red gloves. She wears green earrings and a green ring while seemingly waving with her left hand. The bottom of the frame has the initials “CD” for Cruella de Vil. The frame is decorated with scrolls and winged dog-like creatures. The wall behind the frame is broken glass, as well.
Captain Hook is featured in the last piece of art. He wears his typical captain’s outfit, complete with a feathered hat. His hook is up against his moustache, and in his right hand, he holds a sword. He appears to be on his ship, the Jolly Roger, as a railing with gold ornamentation, water, and mountains can be seen behind him. The frame is gold and green with a skull and crossbones at the bottom. The wall behind him, like the others, is also made of broken glass.
“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” replaces Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, which was located on Sunset Boulevard. The show’s headlining villains will each break through the Magic Mirror’s glass as they take to the stage for live production numbers.
The immersive show brings the villains into our world, where they will share their side of the story, and guests decide which has had the worst time as a villain and been treated the most unfairly.
In January, Disney shared a close-up look at illustrators working on images of Hades and Cruella de Vil for the show. Last month, Disney shared an inside look at the construction progress of the show with a video showing crews hoisting a frame into place on the stage. The set contains many framed screens that will showcase various villains. The show has a run-time of 40 minutes.
“Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” debuts at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 27.
