The Making of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth and Tapestry of Nations

Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration: "The Tapestry of Nations was a parade at the Epcot theme park in Walt Disney World, Florida, United States, that ran around the World Showcase Lagoon from 1999 to 2001, after which it was rethemed as Tapestry of Dreams. The parade had a unity and world peace theme and featured a variety of large puppets and massive rotating drum units. The puppets were designed by Michael Curry who also designed the puppets for The Lion King on Broadway and a variety of Disney theme park shows. The leader of the parade was the Sage of Time, who was represented as a stilt walker in an elaborate costume featuring alchemy symbols, gold trim on a white robe, a staff, and a headpiece resembling a sun with a face. The Puppets included: Reverse Marionette, a large multicolored puppet with a little marionette being held in its arms. Disc Man, a large character with discs within the body and dreadlocks. This was the heaviest and tallest of all the puppets. Hammer Man, a humanoid character made of pieces of sheet metal. The Sprite, a winged character with a three-tiered tail Angel Girl, a feminine figure with a massive wingspan and human face. Wiggle Girl, similar to Angel Girl, but had a smaller wingspan and lacked a face, also had movement in the hips. Bird Man, with a large wingspan and a crane-like face. This puppet was the hardest to control. Aztec Man, with an Aztec-style head, small wingspan and several flaps at its end, similar to kite tails. The parade (or a variant of this) was also the theme for the halftime show at Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000. Both the parade and the halftime show were directed by Gary Paben. Footage of the parade can still be seen on the Earth Globe in IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. Tapestry of Dreams: In 2001, the parade became Tapestry of Dreams. Wishes from children around the world were heard throughout the parade's soundtrack. The middle of the parade had a tribute to Walt Disney, "...the greatest and most wonderful dreamer of all!". In this version, the Sage of Time was replaced with the Dreamseekers, a trio of elf-like characters that would open and close the parade and collect Dreamtale coins that children would receive at the Epcot Kidcot stations. These three included: Leonardo Columbus, who represented discovery, invention, and genius. Elfin, who represented nature, magic, and emotions. Cosmo, who represented space and the unknown. It ran nightly, although in a reduced fashion compared to Tapestry of Nations and was canceled in March 2003 as a result of degrading show elements over the course of the show's lifespan. llumiNations: Reflections of Earth is a nighttime show performed nightly at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida. The show utilizes fireworks, pyrotechnics, water fountains, fire effects, lasers, and searchlights to create a visual production on the park's World Showcase Lagoon. It premiered on October 1, 1999, as IllumiNations 2000: Reflections of Earth as part of the Walt Disney World Millennium Celebration; it was so successful that after the celebration ended the 2000 was dropped from the name and the show was continued. The show has received several awards throughout the years including 11 straight Best Outdoor Night Production Show Golden Ticket Awards (2005–2015)." ~ Wikipedia.org ©1999 Disney Enterprises Inc.
