The Beauty of Pandora

Transitioning into night

The world of Pandora created in Disney's Animal Kingdom represents some of the most beautiful and elaborate theming ever developed by Disney. Every trail and turn finds you confronted by a new microcosmic ecosystem, stitched into a single seamless landscape.

Floating mountains loom ominously over pools of unknown creatures and plants. The plant life represents a combination of carefully chosen living exotic plans and movie inspired replicas. The end effect is a living environment that feels as real as the forest behind my house.

Looking carefully into the bushes reveals aging details of the struggle between the native Na'vi and the human RDA force. Artifacts include rusty mechs, old machinery and Na'vi shrines.

All of this pales in comparison to what happens when the sun goes down. The beautiful landscape takes on new life as the plants and creatures dawn bio-luminescent coloring and light up the night.
