ORLANDO, Fla. – Disney World has released behind-the-scenes video of the revamped version of Rivers of Light, the nighttime spectacular at Animal Kingdom.

  • Revamped Rivers of Light debuts May 24
  • The show now includes scenes from Disneynature films
  • Tree of Life projection show also gets an update

Rivers of Light: We Are One officially debuts May 24 and includes the addition of scenes from Disneynature films and moments from Disney animated films like The Lion King and The Jungle Book.

In a video shared on the Disney Parks Blog, the creative team behind the show talk about the changes.

"It takes what people love about the current show and then we infuse Disney characters and Disney music to share an enhanced storyline," show director James Silson said in the video.
