'Magic, Memories and You' digital projection show debuts at Disneyland

January 27, 2011, 5:12 PM · Tonight, Disneyland unveils its version of the "Magic, Memories and You" show that we first saw last week projected upon Cinderella's Castle at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

Sleeping Beauty's Castle at Disneyland doesn't provide much space upon which to project these high-def images, so this show will play upon the facade of It's a Small World. Here's a sneak peek from Disney:

Looking at the castle show last week, I saw several effects that struck me as possibly fitting better with the Small World facade than the castle. Disney certainly has a wider "screen" to work with here, so I'm interested to see how this version compares with the one in Florida.

DL has the better platform with the widescreen Small World to play with, and the fireworks behind it is the coup de grace. Well done Disney!

Disneyland has the awesome Wonderful World of Color.

Whats next..? Projectors onto the Carsland mountain range? Yes please..

However, I agree with Carlo - beautiful images, cheesy music.
