  • this was the first show i ever cried when i was little! brings back memories! i still cry every time i watch this still :')

  • It's nice to be able to enjoy this without losing my hearing!

  • 43 people don't have an imagination

  • I was a Disney freak. I used to watch Fantasmic just about every Friday or Saturday night. It was absolutely magical to me and my friends. Who would have thought to use water spray as a movie screen but Disney. Kara thank you for turning me on to this wonderful experience and forcing me to get an annual pass so I can enjoy this with you and your wonderful family to Disney.

  • I love Disney soooo much!! I seriously watch at least one of your videos every night just to take me back there :):) literally counting down the days until February!!

  • Better than World of Color

  • I love this mouse <3

  • I had forgotten what the original dragon looked like, and I have to say, I think they did a fantastic job with the restorations/upgrades (when the new dragon works, at least). If I remember correctly, they added more fireworks this past summer, so it looks even better. Best Disney show/spectacle ever created!

  • I live right next to disneyland on katella ave and haster literally 3 lights down. I see the fireworks every night from my room. Best place in the world!!!

  • Hey ru42 been enjoying your videos for a few years now. Thank You !

  • @questionablekristina - Glad I could bring Disney magic to you!

  • i love this show! our marching band is actually playing this as our theme this year and it rocks!

  • This is my favorite show at Disneyland, I have seen a countless amount of times since I was little and it just never gets old. I practically beg my family to sit and watch it every time that we go. I love the whole show, but my absolute favorite parts are the pirate ship with Peter Pan and the ending with all the characters on the boat! Oh and the princess floats of course!

  • SO MUCH GOOSEBUMPS! :D <333

  • @arellagrayson21 I saw this show last week and I was in awe. I was like "omg, that was awesome"...and I'm a guy almost hitting 30 lol

  • Great Video!! When the Mark Twain wasn't there, and the characters were on the island, where was Ariel?

  • I cry every time I see this production!!! absolutely amazing!!! <3

  • 24:00-24:58 A.MA.ZING. Words can't describe how incredible the ending is! I cry every time, even if I'm just listening to the soundtrack.

  • Something about this just makes me so RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! : D XD : D XD

  • This truly is one of the best shows that Disneyland has to offer, I love this show and I hope to get back to Disneyland very soon on a vacation package staying in one of the Hotels and taking in Disneyland as well as Disney's California adventure park and then experienceing Fantasmic once again. This show is absolutely amazing.

  • do u remeber when u were little and could soar through the sky with dumbo swim with the beautiful ariel and jazz out with the jungle book and evrything wasnt just a cartoon

  • First time seeing it. It was AMAZING. Started Crying at the end, a beautiful show! <3

  • @CuzigoRawr I still cry when I see it and i've seen it a toon of times

  • the dragon is even more real looking now.....It comes up around the same area and has less smoke! I LOVE IT!

  • unbelievable...I always choke up when I see it. Beautiful editing by the way

  • They have premium viewing for this show its great, you get desert, beverages and a seat for the show without waiting or sitting on the floor for 4+ hours..

    Although the tickets are 60$ for adults, they are well worth it and you get nice servers that bring you the food and unlimited drinks. - also make sure you tip your servers and I really recommend this for dates!!! or if you can afford it., otherwise just watch the 10:30 show because of the wait. (fireworks are at 9:25ish)

  • Just went to Disneyland 2 days ago, and Fantasmic is still as great as ever. And I'm so glad Murphy is part of the show. I heard a kid say next to me say, "Mommy, that's a real dragon!"

  • ONE DAY SOMEONE IS GOING TO FALL....and they will get fired. and imma cry for them

  • the best part is the princess part :]

  • "Some Imagination, Huh?" POOF!!! He disappears. That part just gets to me

  • I worked there back on 2002...

    Good times, I miss it there! =)

  • @popdancesteps Where You A Character Or Cast Member (If You Were A Character Send Me A PM) And Why Don't You Work There Anymore?

  • you woudn't happen to have the main street electrical parade would you?

  • @caljones - Main Street; no. I do have Disney's Electrical Parade the version from DCA. Look through my videos, it is in there somewhere.

  • @ru42 awesome. i want to see if i can send it to a famiy frined of ours

  • I have a thought! Every1 who has watched the show they have the river boat come out in front of Every1 & they have Charters waving right. Well I was thinking that they should Have OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT on the Boat N the Front where SW Mickey is driving (fighting w/ his brother N a small way for the wheel) or under a banner that says The first or saying something else or doing something else but they should at least have him on the front of the boat.He deserves it doesn't he?

    WHO'S WITH ME?!

  • Comment removed

  • what is the name of the song at 21:41?

  • @fatkidluvscakeyesido fantasmic ending song I believe its called.

  • My cousin and I would act out this whole show to the soundtrack in my living room when we were 5 XD But Disney show EVER!

  • i was just at disneyland yesterday and i completely forgot that there used to be a jazz band on before the show even started! you're right there's nothing like the original production! thanks so much for posting the vid!!!

  • 41 people dont have a childhood

  • what is the song sang when the princesses were acting?

  • @winterstone21 - It is a medley, one song from each of the movies of the 3 princess. Belle - Beauty and the Beast; Ariel - Part of your World; Snow White - Someday My Price Will Come.

  • @ru42 acutally the song from beauty and the beast is called 'tale as old as time'

  • @caljones - sorry but you are incorrect. The song is called Beauty and the Beast. It one the 1991 Oscar for best original song. Do a google on the CD or 1991 oscars and you will see it is called Beauty and the Beast

  • @ru42 i also have a book of music from several of the disney film and it's in there. i didn't realize the real title until a little bit ago. but still, i was a tad closer than you. 'belle' is at the beginning of the film

  • @caljones - Belle is the name of the princess and after her name I listed the song. If you read the post I did the same with Ariel (and her song) and Snow White (and her song). So - I was 100% correct in my post. So, again, no, you are incorrect to say you were a tad closer to me since I was 100%.

  • @ru42 oh, sorry. i thought you had named the movie for some reason.

  • @caljones - from the IMDB: Best Music, Original Song

    Alan Menken (music)

    Howard Ashman (lyrics)

    For the song "Beauty and the Beast".

    Howard Ashman's nomination and award were posthumous. His partner Bill Lauch accepted the award on his behalf.

  • I watched this show over 50 times. It was amazing how everyone seemed to ooze with this awe of good feelings, not quite certain why. We all have imaginations, dreams... and the key is hearing that when Mickey was down he pops up and says: THIS IS MY DREAM!

    For many years it was the best show in LA. To me it still is!

    Thanks to all the people at Disney who work to remind us about us!

  • holding back tears, seriously, and im a 28 year old army vet with tats lol

  • @pvtread That's hott lol xD But seriously, i do feel your pain i miss Disneyland all the time it's like the only place where i feel alive!

  • @pvtread thank you for your servace, mate

  • MOST LEGENDARY SHOW EVER, I SAW IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER IN JAN AND IT WAS AS GOOD NOW AS IT WAS BACK IN THE DAY, I LAUGHED I CLAPPED I CRIED, NEED ANYMORE BE SAID

  • Seeing this in 5 days! SOOO EXCITED! :D

  • Thank you so much. This is amazing. I loooooooooove Disneyland. I go with my best friend every summer and this just makes me even more excited about this year! :)

  • I love Disneyland, watching this makes me want to go again.

  • Wow, I loved it !! The picture quality was not good, but it doesn't matter! Thank you so much! and I loved that rare finale too:')

  • THANK YOU!!!!

    It's been a while (a VERY LONG time ago). I still recall what I felt when I was there. Such joy, wonders, laughs, dreams... As I see, it's still awesome. I really hope I could go soon 'cause I really need a little fantasmic!

    sorry for my bad english

  • @patrishagarganera it's the magic of it my friend.

  • Just legendary

  • I waited 3 hours to see the last show with my family. By the end I was standing up smiling, laughing, crying and applauding.

  • Thank you so much for posting! Last time I went, it was raining and they had to cancel it! And it's one of my favorite shows!

    Anyway, thank you soooooo much!

  • Awesome!

  • You know, World of Color may blow the water projections in Fantasmic out of the...water...(hideous pun) but truly I think I'll always like Fantasmic more. Call it the mix of live elements, call it nostalgia, even I'm not sure.

    Though it MIGHT be the giant fire breathing dragon at the end...possibly. (or at least when it WORKS >.<)

  • @RazgrizRaven442

    It's probably more the fact that Fantasmic! introduces new elements to characters such as seeing a dragon transform before your eyes, watching Peter Pan fly to Hook, and the new music that goes with it.

    Compared to World of Color, where many projections are taken Verbatim from their source, Dorrie and Marlin, Walle, The little Mermaid, Davy Jones, etc etc. World of Color just feels like a Youtube mash up, and there isn't even a central story to tie up the show.

  • @Shadowwand A new theme as well as a central story would be preferable, but my favorite thing about World of Color is its inherent flexibility due to its format. A complete revamp of the show would cost millions less (since it would just comprise of reprogramming water fountains and lights etc) so a new show with a story and central tying theme could theoretically be in California Adventure's future...though most likely very distant future.

  • Fantasmic is my number 1 favorite show.

  • i couldnt go to this because of the weather =/

    maybe next time

  • I went to Disney World's Fantasmic last night. It was so awesome!!!

  • why did she stop in "you are about to find out."?? she suppose to say "you are about to find out as you join mickey and expirence fantasmic! a journey beyond your wildest imagination"

  • I love how they combind the disney princess songs like that. It just fits.

  • @patrishagarganera that is so true i feel the same way...Walter Disney wanted us to feel that when he though about opening Disneland ..:) lol

  • I just seen one thursday night at hollywood studios! wow this show loos great! The show I seen was good too. the effects and water screens are amazing! I guess they have to change the shows up

  • this is old

  • watch?v=RLMKL4FLEJ4 this is me in my high school marching band playing fantasmic part 1, its the song right after enter sandman. :)

  • @neoimean7 i commmented earlier about it and some people seemed really fascinated so i figured id show them

  • @PINGPONGDYNASTY its cool

  • God, on my birthday I went to Disneyland and watched this twice in a row. Such a good show, didn't move from my spot for 2 hours =)

  • i love the monkey dancers. theyre part of what makes the show great.

  • @omgfaglolz me too i get goose bumps when i see them dance...i just love it :)

  • Yeah i love the video, but man, nothing can campare being there yourself, seeing all the wonder and effects right there in front of you. Gives you goosebumps and makes you feel like a child again just being there. Although i have to wait up to 3+ hours at the spot to save it, all the while i whine and moan about it, this 30 minutes makes everything worth it.

    Thank you ru42 for reminding me that i need to renew my season pass.

  • this show premeired on my birthday in '92. best b-day gift ever. :-D

  • gosh fantasmic is sooo cool

    

  • we played fantasmic part 1 in marching band this year. it was awesome

  • @PINGPONGDYNASTY my high school did too in my jr year. i stole the other two parts. :-D

  • @PINGPONGDYNASTY OMG Your so lucky!!! When I was in high school marching band I only wished we had played this!!!

  • I remember being 7 years old, watching the lights come up from the rocks, and just being HOOKED

  • Man, I love this show. I wish I could go back to Disneyland. Unfortunately, because of the high price ($120 a person) it doesn't look like I will be going back anytime soon. I first went there when I was April of '93. It's just so beautiful.

  • Was this still in the 1999 version of the show?

  • I MISS DISNEYLAND

  • disneyland is so much better than WDW

    

  • Seems so much shorter watching it on youtube lol

  • Truely Incredible. who would have thought that a small little area that is accessed daily could transformed in to Mickey's Dream nightly. Goose Bumps every time. nothing can beat the disneyland Production.

  • @johnybroadway10 i meant to vote up! :O

  • Does anyone know where to get a fantasmic CD i am in dire need of one >>>>

  • @rickyragoo you can get it directly at the park. i'm sure you can get it on various online retailers as welll

  • A friend and I did a duet version of Fantasmic! Princess Medley -- We'd love to get some honest feedback on it! Please check my profile to hear it... I've also created a male part only of the medley for any female singers out there, also on my profile.

  • Is the quality of the DVDs better than the youtube quality??

  • @girlofGod1shirley - The DVD is true DVD quality. For size and such the quality on here is reduced. You will be able to tell a huge difference between the 2 - I guarantee it!

  • @ru42 where is it availible? at hte park?

  • @caljones - Are you referring to my DVDs? They are available at my site. Just go to my profile and you will find a link.

    RU42

  • @ru42 cool

  • i totally c the differences from DisneyLand and the from MGM Studios.....lol kick ass remix that starts @ 7:14-8:05.....ive only seen the MGM Studios version until now id like 2 go 2 DisneyLand now 2 c this in person ive been 2 Walt Disney World like 12 times within my 23 yrs on this world and i went in january of 2010

  • My bday is next friday and my boyfriend is taking me to Disneyland. Wow, I cant waitto see this show again, its been YEARS.

    And that part when Mickey says, "Oh yeah, well this is MY dream!" idk, thats when my eyes get teary, Ive remembered that line since I first went to disneyland at age 4. :)

  • aww. i saw this in disneyworld when i was 7 and my little sister loved it so much that when it was over she had to go to the gift shop and get a little sorcerer mickey doll. she called it Magic Mickey and carried it around for years. i would give anything to be able to take her back and see that look on her face when mickey defeats the dragon.

  • i just saw this show few days ago, and i love it!!!!! i love the music, how they use water and fireworks and stuff xD

  • It's good but nothing like watching it on a hot balmy night in Florida everybody should go.

  • I haven't seen the DL version yet, but I already know that the WDW version used the water screen a little too much. They need more stuff live.

    Is this video done loading yet...

  • This actually tells a story of the mind. The sequence goes like this: -dreams (beginning, mickey) -adventure (jungle) -silliness (pink elephants, pinocchio) -beauty (fish) -bad experience (monstro) -conflict (peter pan) -love (princesses) -haunting memory (wicked queen) -the grip of fear (villains) -courage (victory) -loving memory (finale) I'll give a full "synopsis" later.
  • At the part with the flowers blossoming, the song is one of the most touching things I'ves ever heard. it makes one want to cry.

  • They need to do this with the Fantasmic at Walt Disney World!

  • WDW is better in the amount of rides and size, but in the "magic" DL beats WDW anyday. The fact that DL is small is what keeps the magic in because it has rides that you can ride over and over but never get tired of. And Walt himself had all say in DL and little in WDW because of his tragic death.

  • Amazing!

    "Some imagination, huh?" :3 That combined with the main music always chokes me up.

  • t-minus 2 week's to go yay!

  • The WDW show is good but this is far superior in many ways. The WDW version tries to substitute the Peter Pan segment with Pocahontas but there's no comparison and certainly no pirate ship. The only advantage that the WDW version has is a place to sit in the ampitheater where everyone gets a good view. Unfortunately, the view is of a show that is only a pale imitation of the original with an inferior dragon at the climax.

  • @33Keith33 don't forget the better dragon.

  • @33Keith33 WDW is better than DL because they have more rides. But fantasmic is better in Disneyland because of surrounding lakes and big mountain. WDW hollywood studios has one but it crammed on one place for fantasmic .

  • AWSOME, ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOWS ON EARTH, BETTER THAN A VEGAS SHOW BY FAR,I USED T LOVE THIS, THE MUSIC, EFFECTS, AND THE ATMOSPHERE, ITS ALREADY IN MY FAVES, AND IF IT WASNT IT WOULD BE.

  • aw that was really good!! :3

  • when was the last part

  • I got to see this show during its first year. LUV it!

  • I CAN'T WAIT I AM GOING!! :D :) July 23rd thru July 26 for my 17th birthday!!! :D I LOVE DISNEYLAND!!! Truly the best place on earth!♥ :)

  • Im happy disney took that off o_o..

  • If I really wanted to, I could write a whole page on how much I love Fantasmic and why it's so awesome but that's not necessary because

    "Best Show Ever"

    sums it up

  • Boner... everytime!

  • I saw Fantasmic for the 1st time when I was a baby of 3 years old, and of course I didn't remember nothing, except for one thing, Maleficent as a Dragon! When I saw Fantasmic again on my 16th birthday I couldn't believe that I remembered her, I think it was quite shoking!!

  • This first opened the day right before I was born!

  • Who is that scary looking devil dude?

  • @goldengreaser  its chernabog from fantasia

  • I really wish they would give Ariel legs. She's always wearing that stupid fin all the time.

  • does anyone else get goosebumps EVERY FRIGGIN TIME THEY WATCH THIS! gah!

  • @roxie883 yes, yes i do . it's awesome right? =P

  • @danielhi22 it really is.

  • @roxie883 YES!

  • @roxie883

    I cry every time I see it in person... and I see it more than once a month!

  • @KatangHarmony well your one of the lucky ones!

  • @roxie883 OMG yes i do...isn't it weird?? wow im so in shock you said this...i feel like crying to?? lol :)

  • @roxie883  i thought i was the only one

  • @TheHey1001 man i went to see it live over the summer.... and it was even worse!

  • this is the most amazing show at Disneyland!! I fell in love with it the first time i saw it

  • i have a question to all the people who go to disneyland which do you think is better the world of color or fantasmic

  • @wwfstudios i like fantasmic because it has ACTORS not just projections of pixar/disney charecters on water

  • Wow what a video! Just saw this show two days ago at Disneyland and I loved it. There's been a few changes...the dragon has been improved and no longer looks like a large puppet, it's some sort of machine. Plus Flotsam and Jetsam come out during Ursula's part! If you have a chance see the new fireworks as well...Dumbo and Tinkerbell fly!!!!!

  • UGH! this FINALLY started back up in Anaheim... about friggin' time. I like to watch it here- but there's no comparison to the live performance <3

  • Omg I loved this when I went!!! Make sure that in your lifetime you make the time to go to Disneyland or any Disney Park because the experience is so worth it especially when you're enjoying it with family or friends :D I live all the way across the country and I plan to go again!!!

  • Is there any way to get this music? Love it! :) Total classic!!!

  • @ohhMOONshoesPOTTER

    You can get the soundtrack on CD from Amazon. I purchased my CD at Disneyland years ago and listen to it quite often. It puts me in a great mood!

  • Easily the best disney show ever

  • Tears in my eyes, the whole time. Thank you so much for sharing this.

  • i just saw fantasmic for the first time a week ago and our high school band played it for magic music days it was amazing

  • Maleficent and Jafar should hook up..

  • thank you so, so much for uploading this <3

  • I love how professionally filmed this was. Whoever edited this together is truly amazing. I recently went to Disney World and saw the other version of this 4 of the 5 nights I was there. I love this show.

  • BEST SHOW EVER!!!

  • this was beautiful!!

  • thank you thank you thank you thank you!

    you have no idea :) i love disneyland, i love fantasmic.

    it makes me feel so elighted and inspired when its over :) but sad too :/

    but then there are FIREWORKS! :DD

  • What year is this? I like how the people actually CARE there is a live jazz band there...(I'm in a jazz band and it's hurtful when you're blowing out your chops and NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION)

  • :) awesome

  • I dont know why but this brings tears to my eyes when I watch it

  • @GAMERx32 Me too!!! I just love watching Fantasmic!!

  • @GAMERx32

    Me too!! I was totally tearing up at the beginning. Such an awesome show. Disneyland is truly magical.

  • @GAMERx32 omg me too! I haven't seen this show since I was a boy, but coming across it today actually brought me to tears. The fantastic memories :)

  • Anyone know when they'll be playing it again? I hope they do when I go....

  • @madad0406 i heard that they were closing down some of the things where the river is do some things. i think it will be open in may.

  • thanks 4 these videos,,,you're the best!

  • Oh this is amazing! i wanted to see this so bad when i went yesterday but they closed down the rivers of america to do construction! :( Thank you so much for posting this!

  • I was just @ disneyland and they're updating the whole thing. the rivers of America were drained

  • I miss the old show I was disappointed when I saw that they got rid of the huge dragon :(

  • Hey is there any chance you'll get a video of the show with the new draogn?

  • Quick question: Was the huge Maleficent dragon the only new thing they added to the show? What else changed? Added or Taken Away?

  • I remember in the original Fantasmic Maleficent said just as in the movie of Sleeping Beauty, "Now you shall deal with me and all the powers of Hell." I guess they decided to say something else due to kids. Fantasmic also didn't have all this new stuff when it opened in the 1990's.
