I don't know but I might replace the bubble montage with Stars in space showing Disney clips in the montage with Wall-E and Eve dancing.

And then transitioning from the stars to the space battle if we switch to Buzz? Part of why bubbles work is afterwards we have Monstro and out transition into Pan/Pocahontas.

Well the scene could cause something that leads to the water and Monstro.

You could, but... the show as I see it now, the first half is like this:

Opening
Sorceror's Apprentice
Brother Bear
Bubbles/Starlight scene
Monstro?
Mulan/Buzz
Princess Medley
Evil Queen/Villains.

So, you could transition from Auroroa Borealis and the evening sky from Brother Bear to the stars for the Bubbles-type montage, and then have... The black hole incident from Treasure Planet, possibly, and then we transition into the Buzz/Zurg battle. That'd be a he- heck of a cut to the princesses, though... Maybe use the Tiana shot of her on the balcony to transition from the stars to the star-crossed lovers.

We still need Wall-E and Eve dancing during each montage but their not in the stars their dancing in space but cool.

[AraBrokenDreamer]

Same idea, slips can play in Eve's rocket flame and Wall-E's fire extinguisher mist, and in the stars that they're dancing in... or we could flip flop a little bit... what about this:

Opening's the same, then we have Brother Bear and the Northern Lights, and then when we zoom out into the stars, we find another kind of light show: the battle between Zurg and Buzz, and when it's ending, we could cut to EVe and Wall-E on the water screens dancing, and showing clips throughout in the stars and in their trails of Disney classics old and new. Then we hear the captain say: "Computer, define 'dancing'..." And as it gives the answer, we fade from Wall-E and Eve as the Princess Floats come into view, maybe from the stars to Beast's Ballroom...

Good idea and here is that scene but the Captain's voice should be put instead of him on the mist screen.

Wall-E & Eve Define Dancing

Oh, I don't want him on screen or on-stage. Just the voice, and the voice of the answering computer.

-Ara

[Twilight_Roxas]

Ok then.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Here is how you can transition from the stars to Monstro. Just reflect Wall-E, Eve, and the stars on the surface of the water and then it can be broken by Jiminy going "Pinocchio?" As for the fight scene I'm totally blank on that. Buzz would work but I don't know how well that would transition into the princess scene. Come to think of it that would be really cool to have Zurg finish the scene shouting "Curse you Buzz Lightyear!"

I think I want to add Captain Hook to the roster of villains. I think I'll stop at him for time reasons. So here would be the order:

1. The Evil Queen
2. Ursula with Floatsem and Jetsem
3. Jafar
4. Oogie Boogie
5. Captain Hook
6. Falicier
7. Hades
8. Chernabog
9. Maleficent

Pretty big list, but you have to remember how short Hades segment is at Disney's Hollywood Studios. I'm also shortening Jafar's scene. He'll still chase Mickey around the stage as the giant cobra snake. Also a whole bunch of other villains will make cameo appearances so keep an eye out for them when I post the script for the villain sequence later today. I've been sick with the flu since Sunday night and I'm finally recovering today so I'm extremely happy about that.

Speaking of giant snakes, what are we going to do with the jungle/forest scene?

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Sorry for the double post but I decided to just post the villain sequence now.

The music of the princess segment fades out with the final notes of "Beauty and the Beast," quickly fading into a demented dungeon-like melody with suspensful chords here and there. The mysterious voice of the Evil Queen from Snow White shatters the night sky, the queen herself appearing alongside her rusted black cauldron, summoning her slave in the magic mirror.

Evil Queen: Slave in the magic mirror...come from the farthest space...through wind and darkness I summon thee...speak! (Thunder crash) Let me see thy face.

With an explosion of flames the mask-like face of the slave in the magic mirror appears on the screen, speaking to the queen with his incredibly dull voice.

Slave: Famed is thy beauty majesty...but hold! Three lovelier maids I see! And here in Mickey's imagination, beauty and love will always survive...

Evil Queen: No!

With several suspensful chords of music the mirror fades away and the queen hurries over to her cauldron. The cauldron begins to emit smoke as she summons up some serious black magic.

Evil Queen: A magic spell in the black of night.

The cauldron glows pink.

Evil Queen: With a scream of fright.

The cauldron sparks green and a bloodcurdling scream erupts into the air.

Evil Queen: And a bolt of light!

Thunder cracks and the cauldron glows a bright orange.

Evil Queen: Turn my hair to white...

With an explosion of suspensful music the stage is filled with brilliant green smoke, clearing with the evil cackling of an old hag. But this is no regular old hag, this is the Evil Queen after her world famous transformation into the witch that put Snow White into sleeping death.

Hag: Now I'll turn that little mouse's dream into a nightmare Fantasmic! Imagine this...(Laughs) Magic mirror on the wall, all the forces of evil I call...

The queen laughs again and the slave appears once more.

Slave: You have the power to control...

The slave is cut off and replaced by the hideous face of the old hag whom finishes the slave's sentence for him.

Hag: Control his mind!

Closing in and darkening around the hag's eyes her cackle fades away, quickly replaced by the cackle and face of Ursula the sea witch. Floatsem and Jetsem puppets float across the water.

Ursula: Oh yes, how exciting! Let's do it!

Ursula laughs maniacally as thousands of poor unfortunate souls look on in horror from the screens. Ursula's massive body floats about her lair as she sings the first verse of "Poor Unfortunate Souls."

Ursula: Hello...I admit that in the past I've been a nasty, they weren't kidding when they called me well a witch...beluga sevruga indeed...Ursula will take matters into her own tentacles! Ha! How nice...Mickey Mouse's mind...will be mine...and then I'll make him writhe...I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook! To belong to me...to obey my every whim! Whynot? Let's...

Ursula is suddenly cut off by Oogie Boogie whose face appears on the screen in place of her's.

Oogie: Play! Stand aside you old sea hag and let Mr. Oogie Boogie show you how it's done!

Oogie fades from the screen and appears on the stage in the form of an awesome puppet. Mickey appears strapped to a giant neon skeleton. Several torture devices lie around the area, giving the sense Mickey has been imprisoned in Oogie's lair.

Oogie: Well, well, well, what have we here? Mickey Mouse huh? Oh, I'm really scared! So you're the one everybody's talking about? (Laughs) Well Mr. Oogie Boogie says, there's trouble close at hand, you'd better pay attention now, cuz I'm the bogeyman! And if you aren't shaking, then there's something very wrong. Cuz this may be the last time, you hear the boogie song. Whoah-oh!

Mickey: Uh-oh!

Oogie: Whoah-oh...

Mickey: Oh no!

Oogie: Whoah-oh!

Mickey: Help me!

Oogie: I'm the Oogie Boogie man! That's the way I like it!

Mickey: Somebody help me!

Oogie: (Mocking) Somebody help me!

Mickey: Help!

Oogie: (Mocking) Help!

Oogie and his torture devices disappear, including the giant skeleton Mickey was strapped too. Jafar appears on the screen while Mickey stays on the stage, shaking with fright.

Jafar: I'll help you Mickey...but first I want to show you how SNAKE-LIKE I can be!

Jafar's already hideous face sprouts a forked tongue, fangs, and red reptilian eyes, disappearing and reappearing on the stage in the form of a giant king cobra. Mickey sees the snake and runs in fright as the giant snake's eyes light up and follow him around the stage. A demented instrumental of "Hellfire" plays as fires light up the river and warm the audience. Mickey cowers in a corner as everything goes dark around him. The poor little mouse looks up and with the last notes of "Hellfire" everything goes dark. Dr. Facilier appears on the screen wearing his partial skull mask. As his face comes into a better clarity several frightening tiki and voodoo masks appear behind him, their eyes, noses, and mouths glowing more prominently than anything else visible. The witch doctor's song plays lightly in the background and since I don't know it's name yet I can't really tell you what it is.

Facilier: Mickey Mouse! A tip of the hat from Dr. Facilier...

The evil witch doctor tips his skull and crossbones ridden top hat and throws it back on his head in a snap, chuckling a little bit.

Facilier: You know Mickey, I have friends on the other side, and some of them are just dying to meet you! So tell me this Mickey...

With a flashing of lighting and a crackle of thunder, Facilier's face disappears and the grotesque outlines of several voodoo spirits appear, all of them grinning and cackling.

Facilier: Are you ready?

The mad doctor laughs and the various voodoo spirits fade into the grinning eyes and face of Chernabog whom is assumed to have been summoned by Dr. Facilier. "Night on Bald Mountain" begins to play as Chernabog summons up spirits from a top his perch on Bald Mountain. Ghosts and demons soar through the foggy night sky as the great winged demon continues to awe the crowd with exact movements and monstrous gestures. At one point the evil spirits begin to moan and groan with the music, adding even more intensity to the already intense scene. Eventually Chernabog throws up a plume of flame as the horrified faces of several screaming demons zoom towards the audience from the screens. With one last note of "Night on Bald Mountain" there is a great burst of white-hot flame and Chernabog disappears, leaving Maleficent and a very frightened Mickey on the stage in his place. Suspenseful music plays once more.

Maleficent: Now you will deal with me, and all the powers of my imagination!

Mickey: Oh no!

Maleficent begins to cackle loudly as fireworks ignite off from the stage. The evil sorceress begins to slowly rise into the air, continuing to wave her glowing green scepter around and laugh. Once Maleficent has reached the top and the music has reached its peak there is an explosion of fireworks and the hideous dragon version of the dark fairy appears on the screen, roaring and growling as the dark music continues to play. With a burst of flame from the throat the screens ignite in flames, showing the various Disney villains mocking Mickey and his imagination.

Hag: Imagination! (Cackles)

Ursula: (Cackles)

Oogie: (Cackles)

Jafar: (Hisses and grunts)

Facilier and spirits: (Cackles)

And then suddenly as if out of nowhere, dozens of Disney's best known villains appear on the screen, all of their heads floating through the burning flames at once. All of them laugh and mock Mickey, some shrieking "Imagination!" These villains include: Captain Hook, Scar, Cruella Da Ville, Frollo, Gaston, LeFou, the Queen of Hearts, the Horned King, Yzma, Hades, the Big Bad Wolf, Shere Khan, Kaa, the Hyenas, Prince John, Shan Yu, Zurg, Charles Muntz, Hopper, and Rattigan.

Chernabog ends the laughter by roaring angrily and throwing back his arms. Maleficent continues to laugh as her dragon face slowly begins to fade away from the screens. The evil fairy's laughter continues as the screens die down, a giant clone of the Murphy puppet at Disneyland perched upon the stage. Smoke billows from the great beast's mouth and nostrils as Mickey (Now in his sorcerer's garbs) looks on in fright and fear. Suddenly the reptilian nightmare unleashes a plume of flame from its mouth, igniting the whole entire river on fire. The dragon continues to emit purple smoke as the river continues to rage in flame. Mickey finally musters up enough courage and stands on a large rock to Maleficent's right-hand side, trembling and waving his gloved hands about.

Mickey: You may think you're so powerful...well, uh...this is my dream!

With a triumphant fanfare of music Mickey points both of his hands towards the dragon, unleashing a powerful stream of what looks like electric current into her body. Sure enough the great dragon screams as bolts of electricity can be seen surging through her body. Shortly after Chernabog appears on the screen, covering his face with his arms and screaming, shortly followed by Dr. Facilier whom cowers back in fright. Jafar is next, sucked into a black magic lamp. Oogie appears next his skin ripped from him and his bug body revealed.

Oogie: My bugs! My bugs!

Ursula is next, falling down and shrinking at the same time as her eyes roll back in pain. Next is the Evil Queen who goes from her Old Hag form back to her regular form in a painful process. With one last scream from Maleficent there is a great eruption of fireworks and Tinkerbell appears on the screen with a trinkle of music.

Ok first of all you probably noticed that Yzma and Hades aren't present. I just wanted to see what it would look like without them. I was just thinking the scene looked pretty intense as it is and I was wondering if the comics of Hades and Yzma would do anything to the scene. Also Dr. Facilier and Hades both have friends in the land of the dead so I didn't know who would be better to summon Chernabog and the spirits. Let me know if you want me to add Yzma and Hades back to the mix. I think it sounds pretty good as it is right now.

I also dumped Captain Hook because I realized he probably wouldn't work.
