Truth be told, so was I.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The premise is that Tinker Bell has disappeared, after Captain Hook tried to capture her magic.\u00a0The other Disney characters must follow the clues on his treasure map to try to find her.\u00a0That, of course, is the perfect excuse to introduce many of our favourites in a series of colourful routines, accompanied by ear pleasing, hit music.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-147276 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00265_edit.jpg?resize=560%2C373&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00265_edit.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00265_edit.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00265_edit.jpg?resize=272%2C182&amp;ssl=1 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First up is Belle (played by Leo Leillig) and Beauty and the Beast.\u00a0I feel compelled to wax lyrically about the skating prowess throughout this act and all the others on the 85-minute program (plus interval). Simply amazing.\u00a0Far from just moving effortlessly around the large ice rink, some of the stunt skating routines must be seen to be believed. I swear, there is more than a little dose of magic in this show.\u00a0It all but looked like I was watching the Gold Medal round of the Winter Olympics.\u00a0Turns, jumps, somersaults, high-rise action \u2013 you name it, it was there.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-147275 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180907_02347_edit_v2.jpg?resize=560%2C373&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180907_02347_edit_v2.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180907_02347_edit_v2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180907_02347_edit_v2.jpg?resize=272%2C182&amp;ssl=1 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who doesn\u2019t love Woody (Matthew Young) and the characters from Toy Story, including the soldiers who are on the march?\u00a0No less than four musical numbers accompany Moana (Sarah Dalton) and her boat, before Coco takes centre stage.\u00a0We\u2019ve certainly made headway in tracking down Tinker Bell when the second act starts, but it still takes a lamp rub to bring out Aladdin (Will Ott).\u00a0Prince Eric (Matthew Young) literally sweeps Ariel (Rachael Dobson) off her feet in the set involving The Little Mermaid. That also includes one of my favourite pieces of music, Under the Sea.\u00a0Before the reappearance of Tinker Bell and the finale, there\u2019s a luscious tribute to Elsa (Marina Folam), Anna (Kirstie Nelson) and Kristoff (Ryan Santee) from Frozen. The showstopper is Let it Go.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-147273 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00055_edit.jpg?resize=560%2C373&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00055_edit.jpg?w=560&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00055_edit.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theblurb.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/rsz_d35_20180904_00055_edit.jpg?resize=272%2C182&amp;ssl=1 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the beauty of the experience is the audience involvement, with littlies frequently interacting with the characters.\u00a0The production values on Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Wonder are sensational. Everything is so poised, polished and positive. The costumes are gorgeous \u2013 vibrant and massively appealing \u2013 and help transport us back to the stories we have seen on the big or small screen and read in books.\u00a0They are accompanied by mood-setting projections.\u00a0I am fortunate to see many great shows.
