'Dancing with the Stars' season 27 week 5 recap: Another shocker of an elimination round happens but fans are thrilled by the results

This week's elimination round on 'Dancing with the Stars' was shocking but in all the positive ways. Here's a recap of 'Disney Night' for those of you who missed out.

If there's one thing ABC's hit reality show 'Dancing with the Stars' has been consistent about, it's the shocking elimination rounds every week. While some weren't all that shocking, but just emotional, a couple of them - especially the last two rounds - have been shocking. The previous one, that is week four, left fans outraged as RnB singer, Tinashe, and her pro-partner Brandon Armstrong were sent home despite Tinashe having been a consistent performer right from the premiere of its ongoing season 27. But this week's elimination round was shocking but in all the positive ways. The stars performed to classic songs from Disney movies for this week's Disney Night and here's a  recap of all that you missed.

Alexis Ren and Alan's foxtrot to "Just Around the Riverbend" from Pocahontas earned some magical remarks from judge Carrie Ann. "The way you danced made me believe in fairy tales," she told them, as the two received a total of 29 out of 30.
