Fantasmic at Walt Disney Studios Paris: Open Brainstorming

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?

I said Brother Bear, but I never got confirmation on it. It would allow us to do bears and elk and the like, and we could put the Aurora Borealis and Great Spirits on the Water screens, and as the Borealis dissipates, we can zoom into space. That was my thinking anyway. This is why i wanted to switch Dancing/Bubbles/Monstro with Pan/Pocahontas/Zurg so we can have a gentler transition from action to romantics.

Ok now I get it. You can have mammoths too if Brother Bear is done.

Me and Ara also added the Wall-E and Eve scene with a Disney movie montage while they dance and we need Yzma for the roller coaster scene and Hades so it could balance the Walt Disney World villains.

I could do an English script to see what it looks like so far if you guys would like... and as for a transition from Zurg and Buzz to the princesses, we could probably have something like this (note, this is not the actual scene, but you should get the gist of it):

The camera moves away from Wall-E and Eve to reveal a large planet, the base of Zurg's operations. Buzz then flies in with the opening clips of Toy Story 2. Buzz then lands on the island, with tons of Zurg's minions coming for Buzz. Buzz uses his laser on a large reflective stone, which glows red as the minions each have sparks at the heads after a red laser hits them. They all fall, causing them to retract into the stage.

The water screens go up for a brief moment to show Zurg within his lair with a monitor on Buzz. The large "z" map is replaced with clips of Buzz on the planet due to the inaccuracy of the show from the film. The screens go down. As Buzz runs, needles go up behind him, each growing sharper and higher as he runs. The needles go down, and a podium with Zurg's power source appears. Buzz runs to this, but as he gets there, the podium sinks back into the stage.

Zurg then appears on the stage.

Zurg: Buzz Lightyear! We meet again! For the last time!
Buzz: Not today Zurg!

Zurg then fires a laser at Buzz, but Buzz picks up a large head of one of Zurg's minions, causing the laser to point towards to the audience and above their heads. Zurg and Buzz have a small fist fight with a bunch of stunts, with the lasers flying into the water, causing splashes. Whenever it hits the ground, the ground becomes singed (not really). Buzz does a front flip at one point! Zurg then fires a large ball toward Buzz, which he catches, but spins around to throw the ball, and starts flying! He almost throws the ball to the audience, but it lands in the water, setting it ablaze! Zurg fires another ball, but Buzz catches this and throws it towards Zurg! Zurg retracts into the stage, with his head, totally burnt up as if something exploded on it.

Zurg: CURSE YOU BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!

The stage lights fade out as a man and woman duet...

Cool! But how are you having two characters like these get that physical? A flip? A fist fight? Pretty ambitious.

Cool script

okay, maybe cut the fist fight out, and we can limit it to lasers and stunts... I want to keep Buzz flips because he just seems like the type of guy to flip during a fight like that... I couldn't think of anything else... but the ending is cool right?

CURSE YOU BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!!!
See.... it in your mind... and you can find....

[MANEATINGWREATH]

/\ What if in the Buzz Lightyear scene you had some L.G.M.s added in? They can "Oo" and "Ah" some of the stunts and all that stuff. Then for the ending you can have:

Zurg: Curse you Buzz Lightyear!

L.G.M.s: Oooooooooo!

Buzz Lightyear: To infinity...and beyond!

Girl: See...it in your mind...and you can find...

Alright I guess I'll add Yzma and Hades too, just take them out of the miniature montage of villain heads.

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. Yzma appears on the screen, towering over screen-bound Mickey (He's absent from the stage now) who sits shaking in a spotlight.

Yzma: I'll help you Mickey...

Mickey: R-Really?

Yzma: Yes of course...after I kill you!

Mickey: Huh?

Yzma pulls a nearby lever and the floor opens beneath him, causing him to scream as he falls into parts unknown. Yzma's smiling head looks down at a falling Mickey.

Yzma: Goodbye Mickey!

With a scream Mickey falls into the same roller coaster cart seen in the film, which resembles a kind of clown head with fangs. The same instruction voice from the film remains as well.

Voice: Please remain seated and keep your arms and legs in and all times.

Mickey: Huh?

With a sudden bolt of speed the car shoots foward and Mickey flies down the spiral roller coaster screaming. Flying off the track (The coaster is actually reletively short watching it again) he soars through inky darkness, crashing and flying out of sight. Jafar's face sprouts out of the dark as Mickey appears falling onto the stage from the coaster cart and crashing to the floor, shuddering with fear.

Jafar: And now you'll see how SNAKE-LIKE, I can be! (Laughs)

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 cackling voodoo spirits fade into flames. Facilier throws foward a fortune telling card with a picture of Hades on it, labeled "13." The card bursts to life and out comes Hades, evidently summoned by the black magic of Dr. Facilier and his ghosts and ghouls.

Hades: Mickey, I'm home! (Chuckles) It's great to be back Mick, and let me tell you, it's not that great being defeated, but once you're brought back it's awesome!

Hades glows orange then quickly turns blue again.

Hades: Ok, ok, I'm cool, I'm cool. Oh and by the way...here's a welcome back present...

Hades smiling face slowly turns into the grinning eyes and face of Chernabog whom is assumed to have been summoned by Hades rather than the Doctor. "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)

Yzma: (Cackles)

Jafar: (Hisses and grunts)

Facilier, tikis, and voodoo spirits: (Cackles)

Hades: (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, the Big Bad Wolf, Shere Khan, Kaa, the Hyenas, Prince John, Shan Yu, Charles Muntz, Hopper, Stinky Pete, Davy Jones, Stromboli, the Coachman, 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, then Hades falling backwards as he screams, shortly followed by Dr. Facilier whom cowers back in fright. Jafar is next, sucked into a black magic lamp as he continues to slither around as a snake. Oogie appears next his skin ripped from him and his bug body revealed.

Oogie: My bugs! My bugs!

Yzma is suddenly turned into a cat and meows sheepishly, quickly sent falling to her doom. Ursula is next, falling down and shrinking at the same time as her eyes roll back into her head with 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.

[Twilight_Roxas]

Wow thats really good MEW I love it.

[AraBrokenDreamer]

It's much longer than I imagined, but cool. And the Buzz flip is fine, it's just another fly rig you'd have to set up.

Well, I was planning for LGM's, but didn't know how to fit them in. I'm thinking Zurg can hold them as prisoners, until Buzz comes to their rescue.

Ok that sounds good.

[Twilight_Roxas]

Sorry about the double post but I forgot about the Heffalumps and Woozles.
