Last Fantasmic 2016 Performance - Disneyland

[@azntimewizard]

No matter how many times I watched fantasmic, the ending always gave me the feels. Just watched this again and cried all over again

[@Drawingdreamstm]

Me too!! Brings back so many memories of my childhood. I’m so incredibly distraught over the fact that they changed fantasmic completely. I’m happy this recording exists at least so I can relive it all again.

[@JoshuaVarghese]

I totally agree! I get goosebumps from the Finale every time! But I just saw the new version and the music is just not as impactful :(

[@disneyimagineer84]

Love the crowd reaction. Always fun watching with a fun crowd

[@cnmdiva81]

I know this show all the way back from its debut in 1992. I was 11 and this show pulls at my heart every time. It's soooooooo damn amazing! Fantasmic better not go nowhere! it's a part of what makes Disneyland, Disneyland.

Nobody out beats Disney when it comes to awesome shows with fireworks. Nobody!

[@janafahey587]

So magical. So glorious. Isn't it cool how recordings never seem to really capture it because it's just so larger than life? There's nothing like Fantasmic. When the dragon comes and all the fire and mad cackling of the witch, it really does feel like there's no hope. But OF COURSE Mick conquers every time because of that fantastic imagination of his :) Best show ever. love Love LOVE Disneyland

theres no need for them to shut it down just because of star wars land?! thats not fair!! :'(

Technically they do, because of the boats, Disney is re-routing the river. With no river, many of the scenes would either not be there, or would be very sad looking with no boats

[@spongeycraftstudios4371]

Coming back to this version of the show, I believe the new and redone one is better. The special effects in the new one and the score is thunderous and spectacular. Only certain parts in this version are better than the new one.

[@GloryInWonderland]

The only thing I like more about this version is Peter Pan. The Pirates section kinda sucks in the new one, and the girl is loud and annoying. I miss “Hey crocodile! Do you like codfish? You do! Hahahahaha”

They should put Ursula and the two eel animatronics back

CHILLS.

[@orwolfe80]

I have loved this show since I first saw it in '96. I had been on ebay, looking for a replacement copy of the Soundtrack CD that I got as a souvenir then; and got worried about this show seeing the new artwork for newer releases, so I had to watch. First the good: I am glad that the show hasn't changed as much as I had feared. The effects now are breathtaking, including the projection onto the water. I love also they upped the anté on the Pyro, especially when the dragon appears. Also, the new dragon is cool as f**k. The newer lighting is also cool; from the blacklit monkeys during the jungle sequence, to the decorative lighting on the Princess' barges. now for the bad: 20yrs ago, when Mikey slayed the dragon, his sword expanded to pierce the dragon. I don't know when they changed that, but now that Mickey's sword "shoots" something and slays the dragon, it feels off. I liked the fact that the sword appeared to expand; because it showed that it was still part of a dream & imagination feel. Now it feels more like Mickey's sword is actually a gun. This really is my bigget pet peeve.

[@darreylhenderson8979]

Still bitter they cut out both Snow White AND the Evil Queen in the new version

[@SerenityBane]

I don’t even bother watching a Fantasmic anymore. I’m not adverse to change but I don’t find the new version of Fantasmic as magical. I don’t care for the change in vocals and segment changes. I miss this version so much!

[@TJ_ax]

Do you mind if I use this in a metal cover as a background for my greenscreen? Amazing work!

[@TJ_ax]

***** I hope they don't mind that I used it haha.

[@khfan4life365]

Coming back in July! My body is ready!

[@JavierZamora95]

I miss this old firework ending that goes along smoother with the rhythm of the music. Still a breathing show!

[@ashestoashescosplay]

I knew this would be different because they are obviously different venues, but im surprised at how different the Fantasmic is in Disney World compared to Disneyland. I've only ever seen the one at Disney World so it was nice to watch and see the differences- like Kaa in Disneyland is replaced with the snake version of Jafar, the entire Peter Pan pirate scene is replaced with a scene from Pocahontas, and the scene with the villains on the water screen is way different, as each villain makes a quick appearance, saying one line and then morphing into another villain as opposed to just the Ursula and Fantasmic Villain scenes. I loved spotting the differences and similarities and hopefully by the time Im able to visit Disneyland the show will be back up and running so I can see it live! Loved the video!

[@desiree77garcia]

wow hahaha, I'm a Disney geek so I watch all the Disney videos lol, but I remember watching a few and they wouldn't specify which park it was and I'm from California so my natural assumption was from Disneyland. When I saw Jafar as a snake, the Pocahantas set, and the whole Lion King set, I got kind of confused. I was like how did I not know that they changed that. Now I know thanks to your comment lol. Thanks for specifying that haha

[@desiree77garcia]

Fantasmic videos is what I was talking about up there ^ my bad aha

[@ashestoashescosplay]

+Wavvi no problem! Glad I could help. I've only ever visited Disney world, and so that's the only Fantasmic I've ever seen. I remember someone saying something about Peter Pan in the California one, and he's my favorite character so naturally I had to check it out. I love both now!

[@desiree77garcia]

+AshlynActs Same here but for Disneyland, the Disneyland version is the only one I've seen in person and I think the Disneyworld version is a bit better, maybe because I'm used to the Disneyland one. The Jafar set looked very colorful and very nice as well as the Pocahantas set

[@Tina_95]

The last one? Aw this makes me wanna cry, I'm going to Disneyland this year during the summer :( bummer I won't be able to see my favorite show!

Its not permanent. Just closed while they build Star Wars Land which is behind the Rivers of America.

[@newglappy2389]

I cant wait till next year and I can see this live for the first time.

[@potterheadxox]

I've never seen the Disneyland Fantasmic but part of WDW's Fantasmics charm is that it focuses around older films like Pocahontas. These shows wouldn't be as magical if Frozen/Star Wars took over

[@AJ17_]

I actually hate the Pocahontas segment in WDW's version. It drags on too long. I wish they'd get rid of that part. And upgrade the dragon to one like Disneyland's.

[@notthemama9986]

AKDog48 If they upgrade their version they realllllllly need to get rid of all the other villains, every scene with them drags on and on and on forever. Just stick with the badass women we've got and Chernabog

[@kylemorello4787]

Star Wars? Not magical Frozen? I actually don't mind that idea. The theme is Disney Animation isn't it? And did you know they put the Pocahontas scenes specifically because Micheal Eisner wanted to insert recent films at the time? Pocahontas was certainly not old then.

[@potterheadxox]

@@kylemorello4787 yup, personally the charm for me at least is the slightly older films from today's perspective, pocahontas doesnt get much love. I'm mainly against Frozen for the fact that 3 years ago, and still now, theres far too much Frozen in the parks but I get that that's just my opinion :)

[@kylemorello4787]

@@potterheadxox that's probably why they decided to include Tangled as a revival era film to include instead.

[@bewarebewear1507]

i love fantasmic and i hope that they dont add any pirates of the Caribbean, star wars, marvel, or any modern Disney movies on it when it comes back, its just perfect the way it is and if they try modernizing it i feel like if it will ruin the feels of what fantasmic is suppose to be about.

[@TFN5459]

raw vubs I get your sentiment when it comes to Fantasmic! as I grew up with the show, but in the case of Pirates change, I don't think it's too drastic. The Peter Pan segment is based around the premise of pirates on board the Columbia, which would remain the same for the Pirates of the Caribbean. As well, the show is in close proximity to the very attraction that inspired the movies. The projection mapping on the Columbia and the surround buildings would also bring what was supposed to be a temporary show to be on par with newer entertainment offerings. If they were to change the Sorcerer Mickey segments or ending, I think I would have a problem with them changing it.

[@bewarebewear1507]

TFN5459 so there changing the peter pan segment?

[@TFN5459]

raw vubs Hasn't been officially confirmed by Disney yet but with the number of sources reporting it it seems to be true. Also Disney has been installing projection equipment around Tom Sawyer's Island and new stunt equipment on the Columbia's rigging so most likely.

[@emilyharvey6677]

I read in MiceChat that they are replacing Peter Pan with Pirates. It's not a huge Pirates fan, but I think it'll be cool. Ariel will have legs instead of her tail and they are replacing Snow White with a top secret princess. They are replacing the snake that appears before the monkeys with something related to The Lion King. I was so happy to read that they're keeping my favorite part (the monkeys). They're trying to do something with projectors and it works fine on everything except the moving actors. They want to make the actors look like skeletons. They have been struggling with that since the boat is moving and the actors have to be in exactly the right place at the right time (makes sense that it's failing). They might have to use black lights and fluorescent paint because that'd be easier. They're also adding an Aladdin section. I think that's just about everything I can remember. Oh yeah! They're adding another explanation point to the name so it's kinda like saying Fantasmic 2.0 Here's the link: micechat.com/154051-disneyland-photo-rumor-update-major-fantasmic-halloween-changes/

Which includes the petting zoo and the restaurant. Big thunder mountain railroad will not be touched and remains open. Frontier land, new orleans and critter country will remain untouched as of right now. Other attraction closures going on right now are part of scheduled refurbishment, or removal of the holiday overlay.

I appreciate a lot of the updates of the new Fantasmic, but I will always love the original showing. :) The Imagination song in this show, it's always spoken right to my soul, almost like a theme song for my life. When I decided I wanted to write fiction novels at around age seven, that was coincidentally when my parents got the soundtrack to the original Fantasmic on CD. And when I started to tap into my own creativity, it was like this song and the whole show spoke to me very personally, it encouraged me to use my own imagination. I considered it a kind of sign from God that expanding on my own imagination and creativity is what I'm called to do with my life. Thank You, Lord, and thank you, Disneyland, for the inspiration this show has given me. :)

Mickey was so much more animated/enthusiastic in this version. In the new one he seems bored/going through the motions. I prefer the big, fast gestures in this version over the almost lazy-like ones in 2.0.

[@MegaSoulHero]

The reason they changed the movements is to show that Mickey is figuring out what he can do in his imagination.

[@theVOCALOI]

exactly!! In the original Mickey already knows how to control the magic of his imagination while in 2.0 he figuring out the new found magic he has and plays around with it.

The thing that made this rendition so good was how well it all flowed together, where the music didn't seem off, the segways fit amazingly well, and the overall magic always felt right. With the new one, there are scenes that just feel off and some of the dialogue just feel out of place. Another problem is that some of the music doesn't work with the new show.

The Rivers of America is being partially drained and demolished for installation of infrastructure for Star Wars Land. While the show area will remain intact, the rear staging areas for the show are being demolished and the Mark Twain and Columbia are moored till the River construction wraps up, which is why the show can't run.

[@morphman21]

oh darn. so what is going to happen while it is under construction?

[@TFN5459]

+morphman21 It will simply remain inactive. The front part of the river will be dammed off so it can stay filled while construction goes on in the back. It is rumored that the fountains and lighting will get refurbished at some point before it reopens in spring of 2017 but it's just speculation at this point.

+TFN5459 So once they're done with Star Wars land, or at least that portion of it, will they resume?

[@TFN5459]

Yes, once the construction work focused on rerouting the river and railroad, as well as installing infastructure for Star Wars Land wraps up, the plan is to have Fantasmic! return.

[@Jorge55951]

I sure hope Disney doesn't change it's mind and actually bring back Fantasmic next year

[@hotrod7632]

8:40 OH NO MICKEY😂😂😂

[@tonyc9530]

I worked this last event!!!!

[@FusionGamerElite]

Who here is ready for the jaw-dropping you never saw it coming but the unthinkable happened, star casted 30+ min bar raising we worked our asses off on a secret 10 year plan for the 30th in 2022 event? I'll drop some hints - how about this, Peter Pan gets reinstated, Sleeping Beauty is in, Snow White is in, Cinderella is in, Alice is in, Frozen is out, all homages for ones like Robin Williams are in, the dragon got upgraded, the "flags" on the final ship will be changed, you have a multi-coloured 30th anniversary logo with 3 special effects representing the 3 decades of operation, the total runtime for 2022 is roughly 30-40 mins right now but that will be adjusted based on what we can get in, the mark twain ship is getting an overhaul to allow for more characters, the main stage might be getting a rotation system to allow for new elements, the fountains are getting reworked on patterns and the fireworks also get looked at for some sky symbols new and old, hows that sound? Better grab some 4K UHD tech people, coz this thing looks spectacular, hope you can multi-angle left right and up, this is gonna be a blast :)

It's a shame that this is likely the last performance of Fantasmic, before Disney alters it for its return.

[@vabuchoochoo5174]

Alex Burk they will alter *nothing* except for hopefully fixing Ursula's unit

[@AB19976]

Vabuchoochoo I wish, but every Disney fan site is reporting that major changes are coming. is that ideal, not at all. but it seems like that's what's gonna happen.

[@vabuchoochoo5174]

Alex Burk I have high doubts they will have the nerve alter anything on such a fragile show.

[@AB19976]

Today's Disney is a Disney that's willing to transform the ToT into GotG, turn the Submarine Voyage into Finding Nemo, and put Jack Sparrow into Pirates of the Carribean. I don't think there's really a limit to what they will do, and I'm sure the opportunity to shoehorn a few billion dollar franchises (PotC, Frozen) into a popular show at Disneyland as well as show off some more of their new projection mapping technology was too good to pass up.

[@vabuchoochoo5174]

Alex Burk​ - ToT had copyright issues, along with other things such as a Marvel Land that they wanted to expand into. (Least justified change imo) - Submarine Voyage was outdated as hell. Faded, confusing, broken down. They needed to change it in order to bring people in. - Jack Sparrow is a minor addition to something that was already changing to incorporate some aspects from the movies. To have MAJOR CHANGES to something as *fragile and crucial* as something as FANTASMIC would be detrimental to *all* fans. If Disney is smart, only improvements of broken down aspects of this show.

8:40 oh no mickey!

[@mariohiccupwitwicky8453]

I was excited for the new additions when Fantasmic return until I realized they might "replace" some of the segments.

[@kylemorello4787]

The only replacement I didn't like was the replacement of the Peter Pan scene. Also, maybe they could've kept Snow White while keeping Rapunzel in. Those are my only complaints.

[@mariohiccupwitwicky8453]

Kyle Morello Peter Pan was classic. It was a perfect transition from Snow White and her prince to the Evil Queen.
