A completely new show titled Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After premiered at Disney's Hollywood Studios on May 27, 2025. I attended a showing this week. This was a fun and lively show. While there are only three villains you see on stage, there are dozens of others on the "mirrors" which surround the stage area. It is hard to see them all especially towards the end of the show.
Photographed with a Nikon Z9 and NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 lens. The villains are very well lighted during the show which is reflected in the ISOs of the photos.
I sat 4 rows back in the center section. I bit too close with the lens I had to get the entire stage setup. The first two photos give you an idea about the "mirrors".
View from my seat.
1/60s @ f/4, ISO 4000
The host for the show is Magic Mirror (who moves around throughout the show to different mirrors). You also see there is not a lot of camber to the seating.
1/60s @ f/4, ISO 360
The three villains are each introduced to loud audience applause and shouts. Like I said, very lively. Because of where I was seating, I focused on getting good photos of the villains on stage.
First up was Cruella De Vil
1/125s @ f/6.3, IS 1000
Captain Hook was next.
1/250s @ f/5.3, ISO 560
Last, and certainly not least, was Maleficent. Excellent use of animation to show here as a dragon first before transforming to her green self.
At the end, audience applause determines the "winner" of the Most Unfairly treated villain. For our show, Maleficent won going away. While I though Cruella De Vil deserved it. Oh, well, outvoted again!
A hoard of villains come out to congratulate her.
Next time I go, I will try to sit farther back in the theater to get a better angle to the stage to shoot over the heads of people instead of through them.
