  • This FANTASMIC forgot Sykes and McLeach.

  • Not So Loud, Maleficent.

  • Maleficent's scream is so stupid.

  • Whenever I hear the music for this show, I can't help but start to do the ribbon routine. IT'S SO FUN!!!!

  • FAR AND AWAY THE GREATEST SHOW EVER, I JUST SAW IT AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER LAST MONTH, AND I CRIED, THATS HOW SPECIAL THIS SHOW IS, I AM A 28 YEAR OLD ARMY VET, AND I TEARD UP THE MINUET IT STARTED, ALSO SIDE NOTE TO THE MEMORYS WE ALL HAVE OF DL, THE MSEP MAY BE MAKEING A TRIUMPHENT RETURN TO MAINSTREET VERY SOON

  • thanks for posting all of these videos!!

  • It's awesome to know that Maleficent was the guest character in the original Fantasmic opening ceremony

  • I STILL get goose bumps every time I see this show, whether live, or here on the web. I love it! I also love the Maleficent in the promo.

    I think one of the main reasons it's so near and dear to me is that I was able to see it live back in 1995 when I was young. I was up close to the water and felt all the emotions that could possibly come from a 5 year old.

  • Hahahahahah Cast TV!! I miss it.

  • Maleficent has a big ass chin. lol

  • Maleficent has a big ass chin. lol

  • this was on my b-day!!!!

  • I was there that evening! I was with friends on the bridge above the Pirates of the Carribean entrance. Great view! I am a Disneyland fanatic and stopped counting the number of times I have seen the show at 500. And I hit that number years ago! I know I have seen it at least 800 times by now. It's THAT good!!!

  • And while all this happiness was going on, Eisner was shouting at people in his office due to the fact that nobody in Europe wanted to go to the newly opened Euro Disney which opened on April 12th 1992.

  • 00:17... AWESOME transition! haha

  • I Was Born in the year 1992 and fantasmic has the same Age as Me.And how cool is that!!

  • Michael Eisner, scariest Disney villain.

  • 1:05 look next to Belle...who is this? Lol the Beast is wearing his pants but not the rest of his ensemble

  • They only run Fantasmic twice a night now.

    If both shows are really busy they will do a third run in one night.

    Fantasmic truly is amazing, the new show World of Color is amazing as well.

  • waitt hook use to be a regular costume not a character costume or wat cause in the video its just a human with no mask and now i see him with a full costume ha

  • there are big rumors that the dragon show in the begining was the origonal dragon, made before the one that was used before the bucky model 1992-2009. rumors indicate that this first one burst into flames, causing them to build a new design with no arms, big wings, and alot less fire.

  • I play Snow White in DisneyLand!!! and there are so many smiling faces and its just amazing!!! I love performing every night and knowing i gave a smiling face to many ppl

  • :OO OMG THIS PREMIERED ON MY BIRTHDAY :DD!

    Why do they gotta ruin the fun! :(

  • @toocooldude09 and dont forget the fireworks ^_-

  • The dragon is back. It came back in September and it kicks ass!

  • I Wish I could of been there for the very first Show! : (

  • i think its really cool that this show hasn't changed much and that people still enjoy it. it was very disappointing that the new dragon wasn't able to make an appearance during Summer Nightastic. But the new dragon does exisit, as a disney cast member i can attest to that, i've seen it almost every sunday over the last 2 weeks, the company tests it in the early hours of the morning.. let me assure you the dragon that has been in hiding all summer is totally worth the wait.

  • Comment removed

  • ahhhhh when i saw the show last sunday there was no dragon. dang that wouldve been cool.

  • dragons been down for a while now. itll be back up tho

  • I didn't see the dragon too when I went. Hopefully it'll be back up.

  • wow this dragon is so much better than the one they use now

  • That isn't the real dragon though. The real dragon they had back then was dragon head on a stick

  • If you saw Fantasmic during Summer Nighttastic then you saw the sad pathetic version of it that doesn't even have a dragon other than the projection. The replacement (for the one in this video) broke right before it was supposed to make it's debut, so the show had to go on without any dragon. Someday in the near (hopefully) future Fantasmic will have a new 50 foot tall fully animatronic dragon which will make this old dragon look sad and old technology.

  • I love this show!! Never miss seeing it at least once everytime I go!

  • I think everyone was a little weirded out by her performance. Freak out at 3:32! AHHHHH hahaha this is hilarious!

  • um this is kinda sad lol. theres THE ACTUAL PREMIERE! lol and that was the worst applause i heard at 3:50 - 3:56

  • I wonder why they had the dragon like that in the commercials and not in real life?

  • The technology for an actual full bodied dragon wasn't perfected yet at the time. The dragon you saw in the commercial was most likley CGI. This year, they actually made a full bodied dragon that'll debut hopefully this week after some major technical problems that prevented it's original debut last month.

  • This show has aged a lot better than the hairstyle of the exec at 2:00 :-p

  • I don't know why people keep on voting down your comment. I thought it was hilarious. lol!

  • Is that Salah from Indiana Jones narrating the trailer?

  • why does it look like Maleficent has a really fat chin?? or is it just me?

  • it was Jay Leno in costume

  • LOL probably.

    She just has a really big chin in the movie.

  • But no that big!

  • i was born that year fantasmic rocks!!

  • i saw this show !!! i was a child and i remeber that was so amazing!!!!

  • No lion king in our Jungle Book scene!

  • Only Disney could have pulled a show of this magnitude off.

  • just like the one i saw in disney world last summer. I love how they get a show EXACLTY the same over many years wherever it is being played. Its all so big, disney world is the best

  • Wow, this is such a 90's video.

  • I saw this at Hollywood studios, Walt Disney World. Fatasmic is fantastic!!!

  • me too last summer

  • First off... awesome clip!!!!! Loved it!!

    Second... can people commenting not compare the two fantasmics!! please! They are two different shows (in a sense) and WDW has more room t do stuff while Disneyland CA has very limited space and time.

    Two show no comparison.

    Fantasmic ROCKS!!!!!

  • the cheoreography now is so much better than before

  • where in the world did you get this clip from?

  • its an awesome show tho

  • maleficent is kind of wierd in this video

  • i think Maleficent really got into character that night. ;)

  • freakin amazing!!!

  • @2:08 I noticed Ariel's hair is reflective of the year Fantasmic premiered. It looks very 80's-90's.

  • is it me?

    or at 0:17-0:19, is JonBonet Ramsey?

  • This show is alright. 2005 was the first time I had gone to Disneyland in over 10 years so I was pretty surprised to see that the show still remained pretty much the same characters and music wise that is. I like Walt Disney World's version better though. It's more recent with the characters and there are twice as many villains trying to take Mickey down. They'll be adding new more recent characters into the Disneyland version in Spring of 2009.

    *crosses fingers for Davey Jones*

  • I dunno,you know that old saying "if it ain't broke,don't fix it". Although I WOULD like to see a little bit of Lion King or Tarzan in that first fantasy sequence with the jungle types or maybe some more villains like in WDW's version. Other than that,it's just fine the way it is.

  • no , i like only having this many villians , it works . WDW uses villians people dont even care about like scar and frollo. ! Maybe adding lion king into the jungle part But Nothing should change, it is an AMAZING SHOW and It should Stay like THAT !

  • Hey I like Scar! He's pretty cool, in a twisted sort of way.

  • lion kings not in here cause this was in 1992 and lion king hasnt even come out til 94'

  • Lion King is not in DL's FANTASMIC just WDW

  • oh yeah and that

  • its is if you consider scar as a lion king character...

  • scar is only in the WDW version

  • fantasmic is..... well fantastic!

  • wow thats embarassing haha

  • Thanks for uploading! Wow I didn't know they planned the banners since the beginning...when i was there at the opening summer they never could use them!

    lol you can tell 1:06 was a rehearsal...look who's next to belle =P

  • Hey Mickey stayed there after the Some Imagination part...

  • her name isn't maleficent it is ugly lady with a weird evil laugh see i can do better. MUAHAHA!! now that's a laugh hey maybe i should be in Fantasmic. :)

  • k7dance was talking about maleficent, not the witch. dont u know who maleficent is? its the dragon -_-

  • HUH? they are both Maleficent

  • maleficent was way over the top...what the heck?! fantasmic's so amazing!

  • That Woman Went WAY Overboard! Especially With Her Laugh!!!!!!

  • Wich one was the Villian? Eisner or Maleficent? hehe

  • you have to remember that in some ways, Eisner is a HERO!

    He saved Disney from going Bankrupt.

  • Ariel looks wierd!

  • i was there for the very first showing of fantasmic to the public!

  • "You can see a special effects show - but you dont always come away feeling something " HAHA! Hilarious! This coming from the same people who only five years later did Light Magic!

  • Dont you mean Light Tragic, lol. That wasn't Disney's best Parade! lol

  • And that's a euphemism!

  • YES IT WAS!!!! I LOVE LIGHT MAGIC WITH ALL MY HEART!!!! Granted, Fantasmic! is better, but Light Magic is THE best thing to happen to Main Street since Walt Disney walked on it

  • Everybody has their opinion. You think it was kool, which it was a good concept, I just remember more problems than usual with this parade. I'm not saying it wasn't a good try, I'm just saying that for all it was supposed to be, a lot of things went wrong, but thats my opinion based on what I saw and heard. If you like that parade, thats fine, I personally liked The Lion King Parade and The eletrical parade, but I agree w/ you on one thing, Fantasmic owns! I just went and saw it yesterday!

  • ya, i hear ya dude! Fantasmic makes that little Princess Faire thing look like an Sesame Street cartoon!

  • well Light Magic did look good on paper...I do feel sorry for them because somewhere the vision went horribly wrong

  • The problem is, where did it go wrong? People usually say that LM lacked heart and a story - as if the Lion King Celebration, PotC or Haunted Mansion had a story. They're all just a collection of disconnected anecdotes around a certain theme. So why LM???

  • 00:45 - God, Malefecent looks CREEPY! Wasn't that costume updated later on so Malefecent doesn't have a Jay Leno-like chin?

  • hahahahahaha!

  • i thought Jay Leno was playing her on opening night lol

  • No, I did! WOO HOO!

  • @KlayMan2007 nope.

  • @KlayMan2007  Lol, it may have been, but, that was not The Malefecent that performed that night. Malefacent use to be played by a man, because of the weight of the staff she carried. But, agreed, she does look rather creepy here! Lol!

  • isnt the dragon in that little trailer like a propper one ..and the one is the show has like a sheet for its body ?:S .... or is it just me or the last time u see the dragon in the little ad at the start look like a man in a suit!?

  • I love this. Me and my mom saw this at WDW :-)

  • WDW's version is nothing compared to this one!

  • Fantasmic! This brings back memories. I want to see it again.

  • You must be a Disney fan as well as me. Thats why I'm WaltDisneyWorldboy1. :)

  • It was the best Disneyland Show I have ever seen! So much that we stayed seated for the 10:30pm show...mostly because my family did not want to get trampled by people leaving and sitting for the next show

  • I remember opening night so vividly. People began getting seated at around 2pm for the 9pm performance!! It was insane. At about 6pm a line wrapped around fantasyland and around the matterhorn for the 10:30 and 11:30pm shows. IT WAS INSANE HOW MANY PEOPLE THERE WERE! I have never seen New Orleans Square so packed. I heard that there were an estimated 16,000 people seated and standing in an area whose maximum capacity is only 10,000 people sitting and standing.

  • What Klpeekl2000 talking about is when the dragon doesnt move her mouth.

  • Dang, I love it when they switch the audio feed over to the sounds from the crowd... that cheering gave me chills...

  • at 5:28 its good editing

  • At 1:25

  • At 5:38,Roger Rabbit's on the boat!

  • Chernabog AA would be nice.

  • incredible what a magical time for disney.

  • wow thanks.

  • I like the broken dragon lol.

  • Broken Dragon? Where?

  • When they are showing footage from the show and the dragon doesn't move, it just breathes fire.

  • What are you talking about? It's moving.
