Fantasmic Special Edition???

[iluvdisney01]

I heard a rumor that they're planning to have a special edition of Fantasmic for the show's 15th anniversary. If this is true, I would love to see Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Cinderella and Jasmine added to the Princesses' Medley and maybe having a Lion King sequence (similar to WDW's) added (or replace the elephants?).

noooooooooooo dont replace the elephants...they're funny. really add more princesss then if they do add more princess they have to change the mirror when he says "three lovley maidens..." maybe they can add more villains or make mickey go up on the rock thing that goes up like on fantasia. that would be so cool. :smile:

[iluvdisney01]

Hahaha....ok don't replace the elephants. But I'd still love to see the Lion King sequence from WDW incorporated in the show somehow. They can even add that Simba animatronic from POD.

I'd hate to have our jungle scene replaced for the lion king. The lion king is more of a shock value to woo the audience with how there's suddenly a bunch of animals up there. Our Jungle Book is a mood setter that transitions out of the flowers and suddenly a jungle is blooming, and it's far more artistic than just putting a bunch of neon giraffes and birds out there. They added the neon elephants during elephants on parade, which I still don't care for too much, but at least they didn't touch the jungle book =)

[carlosbrown45]

it would be cool to add lion king. and still have the jungle book scene. maybe they can add 1 more of the boats. you know the ones carring the monkeys and have rafiki and have the animals on stage and plus that can add another princess. :smile:

I like Fantasmic! just the way it is. If they made any different it would ruin it's magic.

I have to disagree with you on that one. I like it the way it is too, but it will eventually be so out-dated that they have to replace some aspects of it. Take Fantasy Waters for example. That show came out at about the same time Fantasmic did, and they never updated it. Now look where it is...In our memories.

[GreenLantern13]

I don't have a problem with making new shows as long as it's not a cheap production.

But for the record, Fantasy Waters came out before Fantasmic. A long while before Fantasmic. It was changed in the early 90s and then a couple of years after Fantasmic, after Pocahontas came out.. but it'd been there before. And honestly I liked the old show better(yay electrical parade music!). So it had a good run.

^ Walt said that fantasy, if done right, can never be dated because it is such a departure from reality. Fantasmic! can never become a dated show because, well, there's nothing in the show that dates it. Sure there's movie references, but they're of the classics and not of the new offerings simply put out there to mooch off box office returns. There's a lot of sense to the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This I would apply to Fantasmic!.

Very good Point ^ Yay all of the scenes in Fantasmic are Disney Classics and this is why Fantasmic Rocks :p

[TsWade2]

How exciting! I think they should add some characters from Fantasia. Like the hippos, alligators, ostriches, and elephants from Doance of the Hour. If those of you seen the original Fantasia.

[carlosbrown45]

yea but i will like to see just one change in fantasmic. i want our show to have the some of those water jets. you kno the dancing water from WDW. that would be awsome to the max.

[1FoolishMortal]

^Um......don't we already have those? Or are you talking about the gigantic ones during the battle with Maleficent?

[GreenLantern13]

Disneyworld's are a bit different...and certain effects are pulled off a little better because of how much bigger they are(the long row of thin ones that he uses against Maleficent aside). Ours goes in a tighter V shape, theirs are each straight up but they put them at different heights. I think the initial effect in opening mickey, after the 2 central blasts into the air when the fountains come on into their shape, looks cooler at wdw but they have a big theater where they don't have to float their jets into position each night.

[Little Beauty]

When exactly is Fantasmic's anniversary? And I agree, add more princesses! But I like it the way it is, too.

srry i wasnt being clear i kno we have those but the bigger ones like when mickey fights maleficent in WDW but whats the point of mickey making the water go up before he kills her. is it supposed to be a cage? that would be awsome. and yes do add more princesss.

[Space Rangerlvl999]

They should make it like when the villians in WDW version try to get MICKEY.
The villians are JAFAR, Hades, Cruella, and that one lion from LION KING.
There are more.

Never EVER change the Peter Pan segment in Fantasmic! Because that is the most coolest swashbuckling action performance that has ever been done. I love the cannon shot and the decorated Columbia with lights and pirates.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
I love the cannon!

[iluvdisney01]

Yep, the Peter Pan sequence is much more cooler than WDW's Pocahontas!!! I'm not so sure when Fantasmic debuted, but it was 1992, so 2007 will be the 15th.

Fantasmic! was debuted in May 13, 1992.

[fantasmic_boy122]

i though it debuted in october?

[Fantasmic!kid]

I think they should have continuous flames going off as Maleficent gets taller.

[ScaryTrees]

I think they should make a Fantasmic movie for the anniversery lol jk

[emman]

i think they could change anything they wanted, but as long as it doesnt miss the magic touch, and it still reminds me of when i was a child, it will be the best show ever

[carlosbrown45]

what does fantasmic do when the columbian is down? oh yea add more villains include eisma from the emporere's new grove.

I'm on your side! I hope someday that during the finale, Peter and Wendy will be joining the other characters on the Mark Twain for the finale.

[jagfkb]

overall, disneyland's Fantasmic is better than WDW, but there are a few things i like more. I like that Mickey's up higher, so it makes him look more powerful, but I do love peter pan. They could make more villians like Jafar, and move the peter pan sequence around. Make the dragon scene longer, give more seating, and BRING BACK THE URSULA FLOAT!!!! it was sooooooooooooo cool! But of course i'm using most of these ideas in my Fantasmic, but if disney wants them

[PeoplemoverMatt]

^ WDW's Fantasmic!'s dragon scene is longer & the show really suffers for that. Although it does create a larger crowd pop at the end for mostly no other reason than the audience has been lulled to sleep until sorcerer mickey emerges at the peak & all that goes off. People are brought from a really low valley to end at a high peak and they'll go bananas for it. To me it's kinda sad that the producers went to this sort of obivous audience manipulation tactic.

[carlosbrown45]

lol i was thinking the same thing when i saw the video for WDW's fantasmic. now what does the show do if the columbian is down? :confused:

[Disneyland_Wolf]

Didn't I already told you?

[carlosbrown45]

you did? :confused:

[disneyguy115]

I hope there is a special edition show!! It was my favorite show till remember!

[Disneyland_Wolf]

I will say it again. If the Columbia is down for refurb or rehab. Fantasmic will not be shown even in summer vacation. Cause they are repainting and fixing some stuff. Without the Columbia ship in Fantasmic is a real bummer, so they won't show it.

The Sailing Ship Columbia plays a really important row for Fantasmic, Peter Pan VS Captain Hook, Pirates, blank fire guns/rifles, crazy stunts, hidden lights on the ship, and Wendy of course. Columbia is a big ship and it makes a great pirate ship. So when it is down, Fantasmic will not be shown, I assure you.

[carlosbrown45]

oh thank you. :biggrin:

personally I could care less about the peter pan scene and all because I've never cared about that...although I love the ending when they're all on the mark twain....Oh and I hope that they don't change it...because if they add the rest of the princesses what will happen to the theme song?...If that happens god forbid that it turns hip hop and is sung by hillery duff ( sorry duff fans but I hate her with a passion of a 1,000 suns)
