Animazement 1

[anonymoussinger2500]

If the food that I was about to Eat started chatting with me I would be quite opposed to actually eating them eating

[DramaBabe18]

Yay for Eden Espinosa! <3

[AmuletStrawberry]

My music teacher played as Hercules when he was younger :D

[elphabasfriend001]

@AmuletStrawberry Did he know Eden Espinosa? She's the " Animator, " who has the monologue, in the beginning. One of my theater coaches worked at Walt Disney World, along with many other friends. It's cool to have so much insight, no? Hope to work there, some day, soon.

[aspazzyrainbow]

@elphabasfriend001 Eden wasn't the 'animator. She was Ariel.

[elphabasfriend001]

@aspazzyrainbow She was an Animator, Ariel, and Pocahontas at different performances :))

[Puddles98216]

am i the only one that finds the lumiere costume creepy looking?

[imapirate16]

lol i thought the blonde girl they 'attacked' was a nice touch

[ajackieo]

This is awesome! Thanks for posting!

[melmelmelmelmel12695]

yeah, this needs to come back and come to wdw por favor...

[1leprecon]

Such a good stage, now gone to waste. Now only for girls, but when this was there it was for the Whole family

[prcushinplaya08]

ah i miss this so much  i wish they would bring it back instead of that stupid princess store

[Tiffmidon]

1:46 - chills every time. <3 who played Pocahontas?

[disneyinuyamon]

It's so cool to see Ariel sing while summoning Genie from his lamp. I especially love it when Disney characters collide with other characters.

[awesomechic99100]

i am only whatching for eden

[bwaygammagurl]

OMG!  I think that's Eden Espinosa @ 0:21 in the beret!

[johnybroadway10]

It's Incredible to see may of these artists are working artists in the Park today!

[roseshi]

oh god i remeber watchign this when i was a kid i really miss it since it was one of the coolest show i saw at disneyland besides the festival of fools which was behind big thunder moutain god i was i could go back to those fun magical times

[laurensunga]

Yes! Thank you so much for uploading. I have some of this footage from 1999. Too bad they took it out of Disneyland. I miss it so much :(

[evawms123]

Oh man,I remember this show!

I used to watch this with my family when I was younger.

Brings back memories.:)

[xBriBellex]

This looks like it was a really fun show and I love how all the Disney characters are together! I miss the old shows where everyone sings live, even the background characters. Alot of the Disney shows nowadays have alot of pre-recorded voices like the BaTB show at Hollywood Studios.

[rossandlito]

This show had its last performance on Oct. 28, 2001...I was in it...

[KimOfDrac]

This is what Disney truly is... and then came the disney teens of today and ruined everything

[ITzHaZzA666]

7:51 WOOHOO FROLLO!!!!

[MTwannaB4jesus]

Hey! it's eden!!!!

[phantom4evr101]

Eden!!! ahh she was my first elphaba haha =D LOVE YOU EDEN!!

[ztslovebird]

The guy who slipped on the banana peel was SO fake!

[Sarahmajig]

That's a scrawny Herc.

[ztslovebird]

@Sarahmajig It's supposed to be Hercules when he was a kid, before he got his huge muscles.

[BroadwayFanJared]

EDEN ESPINOSA!

[sillyrach333]

This was my all time favorite thing at Disneyland when it was here. It was perfect because it brought all the movies together. Now, most of the good movies are forgotten.

[Vynisa]

OMG I totally remember going to see this all the time! I think I even remember seeing that brunette girl. Wow...talk about nostalgia...

[clartzy05]

is pocha eden espinosa??

[amybw89]

They seriously need to bring this show back... I remember watching it as a kid and loving every minute of it... I haven't seen this since I was around 8 in 2000. Oh gosh, it makes so happy knowing that someone put this up! THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

[iSpeed09]

0:24

from a profile view, she looks like anneliese van der pol

[charmed1823]

Belle looks like she could be Wendy too :)

[charmed1823]

Eden!!! I've seen one where she's Pocahontas and this one the painter

[ztslovebird]

Why did they cancel this show? I've only seen three minutes of it, and I think it would be PERFECT for a new show at MGM - I mean, Hollywood Studios (still can't get used to the name change)! It fits the motif of the sub-park AND it definitely beats anything Disney Channel-related *cough*HSM*cough*!

[weapon13WhiteFang]

Haha! "Sorry, kid! Wrong story!" Brilliant! XD

[ztslovebird]

@weapon13WhiteFang lol, never has Disney broken the fourth wall so hilariously!

[weapon13WhiteFang]

Yosh! Disney, never really know what yer gonna get from them sometimes, ya know? =3

[tylerbfw]

This is great. I love the arial at the beginning.

[small5th]

which one was eden in this performance? I know sometimes she's Pocahontas, sometimes she's Ariel, and sometimes she's the painter

[benjiboi91]

she's the painter at the start

[defyingglory]

my god, this is some of the best disney talent i've heard.

[AIKOAIKOSAN]

pocahontas looks white.

[defyingglory]

Why the thumbs down? She does...

[AIKOAIKOSAN]

I have no Idea why they'd give you several thumbs down... for telling the truth?

[TangoMaureen07]

It's interesting to see some of these CMs still working at the park. I'm glad of it, I've seen a few of them preforming and they really are amazing.

[rds020790]

Does anyone know who is singing the part of Ariel at the beginning? I really find her tone beautiful.

[murdlok]

@rds020790 is the usual Aaaah from Ariel, you can hear it when Ursula takes Ariel's voice in the movie

[NYCprincess7]

@rds020790 Ariel silly!!!

[aspazzyrainbow]

@rds020790 Eden Espinosa

[xoxo974]

oh yeah i saw that, i was just saying she isn't pocahontas in this particular performance.

[ladydemando]

no, that would be Christine. She was the original Pocahontas both in this, and the Spirit of Pocahontas show. Anamazement replace the spirit of Pocahontas show

[taimoset]

Does anyone else hear moaning in the background from 2:54 to about 3:02???

I sure hope it's a whining kid or something XD

[SimbaFan08]

I LOVE Eden! I never knew that i saw her (i was 8 at the time, so i didn't know who Eden was then....), but i saw this show! That's so cool!

[sroberge]

go eden!!!!

[xoxo974]

this particular video isn't of eden though...

[taimoset]

She's one of the girls who's the artists or whatever at the beginning. Theres a good closeup and it's definitely her.

[revolvolut1on]

I miss this show. Bring it back, Disney!

[sauldelaefe]

this is like the show in tokyo ??

( feel the magic )it was in the same timee i think

[Kinaasan]

This is wonderful! =D

[FFGirl15]

yeah, they need to get rid of that ridiculous disney princess thing and do another musical :D

[grapejuice101]

love it love it

[flightlessphoenix]

they should bring this back

[chibinobaachan]

they really should, this was amazing

[allykeairns]

they kinda did something like this when i worked there in 07. but just the artist sang the songs

[Matt113322]

oh i think your talking about drawn to the magic. you saw it in disney california adventure. right?

[allykeairns]

that was probably it

[Matt113322]

i kinda like this more but im good with drawn to the magic

[allykeairns]

i like this better too

[Matt113322]

yea but then again its a little to crazy lol so many things happening and sometimes it's better to keep it simple

[TheAC29]

@flightlessphoenix You're correct they should bring it back. I have't seen this show yet.

[Jaiden89]

And Animazed I am!

[aaandSCENE]

Someday..seriously...SOMEDAY I will be part of this world.

[AkatsukiGirl11]

...

[EdensLast]

Aww, Eden is so adorable. Wow! It's so unreal how far she's come -- from being a "painter person" in Disneyland to starring in her very own Broadway show to packing in 2000+ people (and an extra 800 at the lotto) at Wicked. Her potential is limitless!

[bwaybby1]

have you seen "Disney Trio"? thats eden as pocohantas. but i have a feeling that you already knew that...

[Misskayseeluvsu]

OMG! we did almost the EXACT 'Friend Like Me' movements for our school production of 'Aladdin Jr.'(!)

[inuyashakg]

the set pieces in this show are cool and complex, i which i was one of the techies for this

[biglittlekid]

I love Eden and I love Disney. Just saying.

[twilightstar13]

Omg!!!

I remember this!!!!

I just realized that I seen Eden Espinosa twice!!!!

First when I was five in '98 maybe...

Second in the Pantages Theatre in "Wicked"!!!!!

Wow.... :D

[dfjndkfjk]

it looks exhausting to keep track of all the set changes. the pacing is every stagehand's nightmare but an audience's dream.

[SarahJareth]

That is sooo awesome! I love Ariel and the lamp scene and the acting is just so spot on! I also love the inclusion of Pocahontas, that girl needs more love in the Disney family! And Belle, yay!

[stephnehilgendorf]

Eden played many roles in this show. It just depended on the day. I'm so glad that someone finally posted the WHOLE show! It was my FAVORITE!!!!

[Willow698]

Alright suddenly I want to go to disneyland. Lol I feel like I'm 9 years ago. They make it so enchanting. Are they still doing this kind of show there?

[keiliana]

No, it's pretty old, I want to say the 90's. The last one they had at this stage was Snow White - which was kinda lame. Now they have this Disney Princess Coronation/Dancing thing. Eh..okay I guess but it's no musical.

[djpok]

Is that eden espinosa at the begining?

[billybtall]

YES! That is Eden Espinosa, who is currently playing Elphaba in "Wicked" in L.A. How exciting!

[djpok]

Yay! so now i can say i have seen her 3 times in my life! lol... I LOVE HER>.i saw her in Wicked in her Broadway Run.. and now shes close to home (i live in CA) i soo wana see her again in wicked.!!!! but i saw her in pocahontas.. and i saw her in animazement.

[keiliana]

No no no...This is not Eden. I thought it was too but type in "Disney Trio" or Animazement and that is Eden. There is a close-up of her so you can definitely tell it's her. Her voice is way more powerful than the Pocahontas here. She's good too but Eden rocks it out. I've also seen her in Wicked back when the show was in San Francisco. LOVE Elphaba! :)

[djpok]

not the pocahontas.. the "painter person" looks 100% like eden.

[biglittlekid]

I dont think they meant if she was Pocahontas. She's there at the beginning as one of the people moving the set thingys around.

[keiliana]

Okay, okay. Sorry guys, I thought everyone meant Pocahontas and since Eden also played Pocahontas in Animazement, that's what I was focusing on. I see now that she is totally one of the painters. But isn't she great as "Pocahontas" too in that other youtube clip?

[keiliana]

I thought so too but it's not. Type in "Disney Trio" and Eden IS in that one. Maybe this one was her understudy or they had two? Dunno but Eden definitely belts it out beautifully. I'm sure you'll love it ! :)

[marcxmaverick]

lmao. it is eden. for sure. how can you not tell.?

[aaandSCENE]

Thank you so much for uploading this, it brings me to tears. I haven't seen this show in years. I used to watch it all the time when I was a child and I wanted nothing more than to be in these shows. Maybe somday...<333 disney.

[DisneyFan16672]

Thank you so much. I have been waiting for this video!

[mrdaps]

yes, he is in this show. There are three videos though to this show. :) Watch two and three.

[cd845484144]

does this have the hunchback of notre dame within the show? please respond.

[filmfreak11]

I have to make a correction. A June 1995 opening wouldn't make sense. Pocahontas was just released and thus "The Spirit of Pocahontas" show would have just started playing. Notre Dame wasn't released until 1996 and Hercules in 1997. The Pocahontas show performed from June 23, 1995 until September 1997. I'm pretty sure Animazement opened in 1998 until Mickey's Detective School and Snow White took over. Snow White opened Feb. 23, 2004.

[mrdaps]

Thank you. :)

[Andiana]

i loved this show they should never have gotten rid of it.

[filmfreak11]

cool. I think this is the most difficult show to capture on video because there's just SO much going on. I recently found a recording my dad did of this show, and he just kept the lens wide. I'll upload it when I have the time.
