Fantasmic!

This 25-minute night-time extravaganza is a showdown between good and evil that uses lights and lasers, fireworks, and water animation set to a wonderful score that features some of the most famous Disney movie music.

Fantasmic! begins with a dreaming Mickey Mouse on a darkened island. Mickey acts as a conductor as music fills the air and the waters surrounding the island begin to dance. Suddenly, screens of water emerge and a multitude of images are displayed on them: Sorcerer Mickey in his famous "Sorcerer's Apprentice" scene from Fantasia, Simba and Nala romping from the Lion King, and the undersea creatures from The Little Mermaid.

The mood shifts when a frantic Jiminy Cricket becomes trapped in a large bubble, then is pursued by Monstro the whale. Monstro lifts himself out of the water and lands with a crash, which splashes unsuspecting front row Fantasmic! guests with water. The waters calm, but a cannon blast erupts. Live characters re-enact battle scenes from the movie Pocahontas, followed by John Smith and the Native American heroine dancing to Colors of the Wind.

Mickey's dream continues on its nightmarish journey as eerie music begins and the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs concocts a spell amidst pyrotechnics and other special effects. She invokes some of the most infamous Disney Villains: Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Scar, Frollo, Jafar, Maleficent and Hades each make an appearance, cackling menacingly. But these bad guys are no match for Mickey - not even Jafar, who turns into a writhing black cobra.

Maleficent unexpectedly transforms into a 40-foot-tall fire-breathing dragon who sets the waters ablaze and guests as far as half-way back in the theater can feel the heat. Mickey manages to create a wall of water around the island, smothering the flames and defeating the dragon.

Finally, there is celebration amid a flurry of fireworks. Disney characters glide past the audience aboard the Steamboat Willie River Boat, as Fantasmic! concludes with a triumphant Mickey rejoicing at his victory over evil.
