Fantasmic! LIVE at Disney's Hollywood Studios 2011, 2015, 2016 & 2017

Special Multi-Camera Video Tribute That I've edited made up with video footage from 2011, 2015, 2016, and 2017.

Fantasmic! is a nighttime show at Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort, Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort, and previously at Tokyo DisneySea at Tokyo Disney Resort. It features fireworks, characters, live actors, water effects, pyrotechnics, lasers, music, audio-animatronics, searchlights, decorated boat floats, and mist screen projections. The narrative of Fantasmic! is a voyage through Mickey Mouse's imagination that culminates in a battle against the Disney Villains.

Fantasmic! originated at Disneyland in 1992 after Walt Disney Creative Entertainment was asked to create a nighttime spectacular involving water and fireworks to reinvigorate the space in front of the Rivers of America. The area was reworked, including terracing the walkways to accommodate viewing and modifying part of Tom Sawyer Island to allow the show's staged live-action segments. The producers employed the resources of Walt Disney Feature Animation and Walt Disney Imagineering.

A second version featuring new scenes opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios in 1998, and a third version premiered at Tokyo DisneySea in 2011, replacing BraviSEAmo!. An updated version of Disneyland's Fantasmic! debuted in 2017, featuring a re-recorded soundtrack in addition to new scenes, lighting, choreography, and costumes.

Synopsis

The Florida version of the show takes place at the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater, with a rocky mountain and a façade of trees serving as the setting. The narrative of the Walt Disney World version is fairly similar to that of Disneyland's original version, with the show's introduction and conclusion nearly identical. However, there are notable differences throughout the rest of the show.

The Fantasia sequence at the beginning of the show transitions into a scene from only The Lion King.
The Dumbo, Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, and Pinocchio sequences are replaced with a bubble montage of Disney animated films presented on the mist screens that includes The Lion King, The Jungle Book, Dumbo, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Alice in Wonderland, Hercules, Pinocchio, Aladdin, Mulan, Moana, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Lilo & Stitch, Fantasia, Tangled, The Princess and the Frog, Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Frozen.
The onstage battle scene from Pocahontas appears in place of the Peter Pan/Pirates part. In this scene, Governor Ratcliffe and his fellow Englishmen fight against the Native Americans, followed by John Smith. As John Smith climbs to the very top of the mountain, a Native American warrior moves to strike Smith when Pocahontas appears. "Colors of the Wind" plays out the scene on the screens.
The climax features more villains than in the previous incarnation. In addition to the Evil Queen, Ursula, Chernabog, and Maleficent, Cruella de Vil from One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Scar from The Lion King, Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Jafar from Aladdin and Hades from Hercules also appear.
The battle between Mickey and the villains, as well as their subsequent defeat, is longer in the Florida version.
Snow White and her prince still appear in the princess segment, performing "Someday My Prince Will Come". Belle and the Beast follow suit, dancing to "Tale as old as Time". Finally, we see Ariel and Eric performing "Part of Your World".
Mickey still appears in his Brave Little Tailor attire and uses the sword to defeat Maleficent, in her dragon form.
Instead of the Mark Twain Riverboat, the characters appear on board the Steamboat Willie during the finale.
