It's not much longer to wait until the return of the beloved Fantasmic! to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and tonight, November 1, Walt Disney World has shared the very first preview photos of the new scenes debuting within the updated Fantasmic! which will debut in only a few short days on November 3!
The return of Fantasmic! will include the debut of an all-new sequence that will bring to life heroic moments from Disney stories such as “Moana,” “Mulan,” “Aladdin,” “Pocahontas,” and “Frozen 2.”
One scene will feature Moana singing as she holds the Heart of Te Fiti.
Another new scene in the updated Fantasmic! includes Mulan fighting the huns.
“In bringing Fantasmic! back, we have a brand-new scene that we’re calling our Disney Heroes scene,” says Matthew Hamel, show director for Disney Live Entertainment. “We get to see some new characters introduced to Fantasmic!, and we get to show their stories in a new, unique way utilizing a combination of projections, lasers and new lighting.”
While the original Pocahontas scene has been removed from the updated show, Pocahontas is included in the updated version too.
The new images have us excited to see the new scene for ourselves.
Audiences are transported into a fantastical adventure with Mickey Mouse where his magic creates dancing waters, shooting comets, animated fountains, swirling stars, balls of fire and other amazing wonders. When Disney villains intrude on Mickey’s fantasy and turn his dreams into nightmares, he uses the powers of good to triumph over evil.
The images released appear to show new costumes, and new lighting, and the overall effect seems stunning!
In addition to Maleficent, 10 other villains appear in the show.
The show features animation and characters from more than 25 films, including Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid.
In the finale, Mickey Mouse and 35 other characters appear on a steamboat inspired by the one seen in “Steamboat Willie,”
Some Imagination, Huh? We cannot wait to see Mickey triump over evil in Fantasmic! once again.
