Fantasmic in Disneyland

As darkness falls, dazzling special effects transform the Rivers of America into an epic canvas for this extravagant live show.

Fast asleep, Mickey dreams he is the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. With a wave of his hands, he conducts scenes from Fantasia across enormous screens of water while brilliant sparks burst overhead. Pink elephants, swashbuckling pirates, princesses and more—including memorable scenes from Disney classics such as Aladdin, The Lion King, Tangled and Pirates of the Caribbean—appear on and around the Rivers of America.

When Mickey is suddenly pulled into the Magic Mirror, his dream takes a dark turn. The Evil Queen from Snow White conjures up some of Disney’s most dastardly villains—including Maleficent as a 45-foot, fire-breathing dragon! Mickey must use the power of his imagination to vanquish his foes—and save the day.

Featuring a fantastical array of live performers, beloved Disney characters, enhanced special effects, state-of-the-art projections and superb pyrotechnics, this show will wow the entire family.

You can see Maleficent going up in flames in this video by Jessica T on twitter.

Jessica T wrote in the comments:

Actually was dead silent once the show stopped and an announcement was made. I’m guessing the music was turned on to keep people calm and make things feel normal. The Cast Members took things very seriously and did a good job clearing the area.

Reports online indicate that fluid used for Maleficent’s fire breathing leaked all over the dragon causing the fire.

Guests in the West end of Disneyland were rapidly evacuated, and all offerings on that side of the park were shut down last night.

There is no word if Fantasmic will be performing today due to the incident.
