They should project neverland on the fantasmic stage during the Peter Pan scene - and have the fountains going too like the pirate lagoon.
Agreed!
Missed opportunity
How long Dragon Maleficent returns once it will be repaired at Disneyland?
@@francithepoohactually it was shocked to death on a projection screen with Ursula and the wicked queen from Snow White its like why would Disney do that.
@@francithepoohit will be like months because the dragon was replaced by a projection screen so is the Tick Tock crocidile.
Disney should back the an animatronic crocodile to follow the ship. Have it choreographed to snap during the segment and have nod after Pan says “…do you like cod fish?!…”
I get its better to have a show than no show, but no crocodile, no flying carpet, no dragon, the cauldron isn't even there. It is a lesser show than it used to be.
I'm guessing this is probably temporary. When Murphy burned, it must've broke props like the carpet and cauldron. However, I do agree with Tick Tock Croc but I think they destroyed him entirely when Pirates took over. Hopefully a new Tick Tock Croc gets made.
The cauldron has been gone for years.
I thought the couldron was removed in fantasmic 2.0?
@@maxtheblackbear8072im sorry there replaced by projection screens even the crocidile is back on a projection screen the dragon was shcocked to death on the projection screens.
Agreed . The rat is being cheap
When I saw some of the original choreography come back in the intro... I will admit that I shed a few, happy tears. And the Peter Pan segment! It's back in its full glory! That applause for it was Well Deserved! Welcome back, Fantasmic!
I’m so happy to see Peter Pan back -but it’s really missing the Tick Tock float and could’ve used some of the great lighting and projection effects used in the Pirates sequence. It almost looked bland in comparison, imo.
@@Joseph-gd1eewhen was the last time that float was in the show? I say that as a big fan. I honestly can’t remember EVER seeing that float follow the ship. Not saying you’re wrong, I’d love if they added it back in. But I’d love if they actually fixed the dragon too and look where we are haha. Happy Peter is back and pirates are gone for shure tho
Why not making a new animatronic crocodile, but with a smaller version like jet ski.
@@Disneydude94that’s probably why they cut it. 1, they might need a new one 2, they might not want to bring in an extra person to just run the jet ski. It went the way of wacky able inflatable UrsulaZ
@@Joseph-gd1eethe animontronics were replaced by projection screens.
The crowd went wild! And for good reason.
Cons:
•Look, I wasn’t expecting any new dragon or anything, that was basically an impossibility in just 1 year. That being said, the replacement is very underwhelming, with it just being the 2009 B-mode. Fortunately, it’s been practically confirmed by Disney that this is temporary and there will be a more permanent replacement in the future.
Pros:
•PETER PAN IS BACK WOOOOOO
•The very beginning being more akin to Fantasmic 1.0 was a very nice surprise
•The new choreography for Whole New World works a lot better than the previous carpet iteration, which was very unreliable and clunky
•New lighting effects and pyro are pretty neat!
•THEY BROUGHT BACK THE ORIGINAL EXIT MUSIC, LET’S GOOOOOO
Did Disney confirm that the finale will be altered?
@@knightofarkronia9968Yup! They said they are planning on bringing back the dragon but that's all they can say right now.
@@knightofarkronia9968In a recent article for the return of Fantasmic, Disney said in response to a potential dragon return, and I quote, “We’re excited for something to come back, and it’s in the works.”
@@GabeV12 All right. I notice they didn’t explicitly say ‘dragon.’ For all we know, they could be referring to the Ursula barge.
@@knightofarkronia9968It was stated in the article that that response was specifically for the dragon.
I genuinely don’t keep up Disney news, but I’m so happy they brought back the Peter Pan Section, I also dig the new choreography from the first act it feels like a mixture of the best parts both versions, hoping they bring back Tick Tock & Murphy soon.
I cannot believe they brought back Peter Pan. That was my original complaint with the ‘new version’ back when it came out before Covid. Peter Pan was one of my favorite parts. I’m SO GLAD ITS BACK!!!
It took the dragon burning down for them to finally fix all the fountain nozzles lol
It was replaced by projection screens and special effects people saw the dragon staring into the audience to see both of her human and dragon form on projetion screens.
Thank you soooo much for sharing Fantasmic! The next best thing to being there!
I'm so happy they brought Peter pan back
Including the Tick Tock crocidile on a projection screen replacing animontronics.
@jessegoodwin2635 Simba and Nala could be involved in this so is Bambi and Faline.
@jessegoodwin2635 maybe the dragon you will see is in the back row screen and the projection screen.
on my first glance, yes I would have agreed
@jessegoodwin2635 Disney's Bambi remake is getting a new director to make the movie more family freindly it will remove some conservesal scenes its still in early develoment and it will be a love story with Bambi and Faline.
I'm really upset that the animatronic crocodile didn't come back for the peter pan scene
One of the things they should bring back. That and have flotsam and jetsam go by at the Ursula bit.
I think the Crocodile might've freaked some people out. That or they just scraped it altogether.
well at least tiktoc learns to stay away
@@MiracleX19actually its back on a projection screen. Even the dragon is scocked to death on a projection screen.
@@viviennemorgan7217the animontronic floats were replaced by projecton screens.
Nice to see they re-orchestrated the Peter Pan segment, also 14:01 I guess the magic carpet lift was also damaged during the fire, hence why Aladdin and Jasmine are now dancing on stage.
The Magic Carpet lift is the same lift as the Dragon. That lift is currently completely unusable due to the damage it sustained.
@@indigofrost4782 I didn’t know that, I know just want to know how they manage to swap the dragon with the carpet during the show.
I was there last night and boy the crowd went wild.
This show always gives me goosebumps, regardless of location. I do love that they incorporate the Columbia for part of the show on this coast. I miss the dragon but what they've done works fine. I'm glad to see the Peter Pan section back. RIP Murphy.
Fantasmic will always and forever be THE greatest Disney parks show❤❤❤❤❤......still miss the dragon though😢
Interesting that it's basically a revision of 2.0 with 1.0's intro choreography, the 1.0 Peter Pan segment seemingly just directly substituted back in, the Maleficent B-mode, and a very welcome change in the projections for the romance section (CGI Agrabah aged like milk).
The removal of pyro from the floats is a big miss, though, and losing the effect of the synchronized timing with the jungle section's soundtrack makes the musical flourishes less impressive. Hopefully that and the removal of the flying carpet prop are temporary B-modes.
Still not a fan of the vocalist's show-off performance in the 2.0 audio. Sounds like a tryhard Super Bowl national anthem performance.
I think a lot of this stuff is temporary! Disney did mention in an article that they are still working on stuff when it comes to the show (specifically the dragon), so I expect we'll see updates to the show as time goes on!
@@regularjosh1beter than the Jungle Book Lion King Bambi segment.
I mean I'm glad it's back but man they kinda rush this. First off no tick tock which is disappointing as well as Peter Pan not "flying" when confronting hook, second the obvious carpet mechanic arm was damaged in the fire. Last but not least Murphy not being there.
HOWEVER something interesting I noticed is that they did remaster the Peter Pan segment music. Why is this important because that means they went back to do the soundtrack and they left the Dragon segment theme in it. It's possible that a dragon will come and apparently rumored for the 70th anniversary. We will have to wait and see.
75th anniversary of Disneyland, I take it? I know that the 70th is next year.
@@knightofarkronia9968 oops I meant 70th thanks
soo much agree, esp. on the "flying"!
wow the crowd is so much less annoying in disneyland than in disney world...in wdw everyone quotes it
There was a show error when micky did not shoot any pyro in the scene that replaced the dragon but in the second showing it was fixed.
i love it how micky just does a cool dance in the dragon part.
The dragon was looking close to Mickey in the finalle its looking and staring at the audience. It was also on a projection screen replacing animontronics for there future.
Disney has done it again! WONDERFUL SHOW!!!
It's awesome Fantasmic is back very cool 👍🙂💜
Only a production nerd will probably care about this -but it’s interesting to me how there’s a ton of lighting design and projection changes. In a lot of ways it’s reverted back to the original…and not in a good way. It could be opening night technical jitters though…
Looks like they replaced the Robe Robin MMX Washbeams on the stage light towers with something new
Welcome back Fantasmic!! So amazing it's finally back!! Too bad, no more dragon.
Yep ever since that fire situation
Well I heard that theres a new dragon being builded
@@Tom-tom-playz no there's not
@@Tom-tom-playzactually its been replaced by a projection screen by being shocked to death but without the animontronic.
@@Disneyfan4lifeim sorry its been replaced on a projection screen by being shocked i saw that on the video even the crocidile is back as well.
Glad to see Peter Pan back! Now if only they would bring back the original princess score with Snow White!
I doooo miss Snow White segment and I do think paying homage to her is better… but I won’t lie if I said seeing Rapunzel and Flynn dance again didn’t make me tear up. I am happy to see more modern films included in the show. As much as that “SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME!” moment also really sent shivers down my spine each time
@jessegoodwin2635to Snow White to Jasmine to Belle and Ariel.
@jessegoodwin2635i almost forgot Rupunzel and other characters back including to Pinocchio to Simba Nala Bambi Faline and characters from the Jungle Book.
Hate to burst your bubble but Florida still has their Snow White
@jessegoodwin2635 you know what its a crossover with Simba and Nala with Bambi and Faline more like a Lion King Bambi crossover.
Thank you I love this so much!!!
GREAT Stream Thank You for sharing.
Even with the little things missing, this is still the best fantasmic show there is. With Tokyo DisneySea’s still the second best (now retired) and Disney Hollywood Studios the lesser production. Fanatics will always have complains, but that’s how I see it.
The finale isn’t new it’s just what was used if the dragon malfunctioned
its a Altered scene not new since there is no more dragon
The show isn’t the same it’s not the show without the dragon everyone can agree to that I just hope Disney does make a new dragon for the show cause it’s not Fantasmic without it
And boy did the dragon malfunction...
@@blkbelt42 Hellfire
Bright fire
Now dragon, it's your turn!
Choose the Mouse or
Your pyre
Be his or you will burn!!
@@Superfruit14they’re gonna make a new one. The dragon was one of the show’s main draws (other than nostalgia). Hell it might even be better than the old one
I wonder how happy the cast are to do these routines again too
While I am in no way suggesting that safety should be skimped, I wish the Pan vs Hook battle on the rope wasn't so obvious that they were holding onto their safety harness. I'd rather just see them do a sword fight on the edge of the ship or something.
I'm just glad it's back and they kept the soundtrack from the finale from Tokyo DisneySea.
The exit music from Tokyo is gone, they reverted back to the original one
@@ItzAdrian02 Yeah I meant they kept the music for the finale sequence that was inspired from Tokyo's version. But yeah the exit music is now back to the original one instead of "Imagination". Tho Tokyo did have the "original" exit music in their soundtrack at the very end iirc.
@user-oo7dw4qw4b 8 wish they kept imagination I like it more especially now since tokyos is gone and they play the original exit at esplanade
I LOVE fantasmic 1.0 vocals. It is so magical!!! I will always miss Snow White and Princess Charming float, it always tugged at my heartstrings! The way the music crescendo with him lifting her up in that iconic way was so lovely!!!! ❤
we waited a whole year for them to put this show in permanent B mode. this is unacceptable and we can’t let disney hear the end of this
They’ve confirmed it will be back in the future
@@typ893 please provide a link bc all i’ve seen are promotional puff pieces advertising this “nEw sPeCiAL eFfEcTs eNdiNg”
They specifically said they’re testing things to replace it, they don’t just want to replace it with the same old dragon.
Nice to have fantasmic back but the ending really needs a dragon.
They still show Maleficent Dragon amongst the defeated villain projections 😅
I’m glad they brought back the “Peter Pan” segment, the POTC replacement in my opinion stuck out like a sore thumb (considering it was the only “live action” film in the show while the rest of the films are all “animated”)
Nice to have the show back - and agree with the other comments...there are fewer characters at the end on the Mark Twain too...missing are Chip and Dale, Alice Mad Hatter, White Rabbit, Green Army Men, Jessie, Marry Poppins, Dopey, Perl and Suzy... be nice if they add them back, and even some old schoolers like Rogger Rabbit, Three Little Pigs, all the dwarfs, Tigger and Winnie the Pooh
Disney has been cutting character actors as a cost saving measure for a while now. Sad to see it so apparent here
@@andreachewiwie8273 yes and unfortunate, yet they have friends of the Lost Boys during the Peter Pan scene. Thanks for the reply
Also missing during Mark Twain finale - PLUTO?!?! How can Mickey have a Fantasmic celebration without Pluto?? 24:11
OMG YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG❤❤❤❤❤
As much as I like Fantasmic 1.5 in WDW. Man Fantasmic 2.0 at Disneyland takes the cake for me. The lighting affects and the scenes. Man this show is good. Both coasts need a brand new dragon asap though
Not bad. I still want Murphey back but maybe they could just make him spit out mist with green colored lights? It doesn't have the same impact with out the dragon.
I always wondered if they would do this as a safety measure for a new dragon. Have it spray colored mist for "smoke", with a fire-colored water jet that "lights" the river on fire. The chance of ignition and a repeat of Murphy would be greatly reduced.
Wooo i love the new beginning! Blended the original score better with some of the new spund and lighting effects. The 2017 version was kind of too much all at once. And the mark twain just being white and noy covered in colorful lights. AND THE ORIGINAL OUTRO MUSIC!! Bravo disney
Regardless of no dragon I’m glad this show is back! I missed it so much! I missed you Fantasmic!
Im so happy that Fantasmic is back again!!!!
i’m so happy its back
Welcome back home fantastic we missed you
welcome back
Awesome
Great job!! :D The cast and crew of Fantasmic did a wonderful job of restoring this awesome show and I'm very happy to see the Peter Pan scene return to the show (although I did like POTC scene too). My small critique is for the scene where Maleficent transforms into the dragon, they should have used the image of the dragon via projections as she's rising into the air(similar to the way it's done in WDW's version). Other than that, it was definitely well worth the wait! :D Thank you so much for posting this for those of us who can't make to the west coast.
When Murphy burned, Disney said they probably wouldn’t try to build a new one but they also promised that to make up for it they would reimagine and add new tech to make it just as good as before. Don’t tell me this is them fulfilling that promise
So glad they finally brought back a wonderful show at Disneyland!
Seeing Fantastic is a welcomed sight for sore eyes.
The return of the timeless Peter Pan was wonderful. The adjustments of show elements (namely the Aladdin and Princess sequences) worked very well. Fountains and pyrotechnics at peak performance.
As for the B-Mode Malificent, it is what it is. From what has been said, I look forward to the day when the show welcomes the return of Murphy (in what I hope will be an improved form, though if she breaks down from time to time, then she'll be living up to her legendary and beloved reputation).
Pending health, and other commitments, I'm looking forward to seeing this live on Wednesday night (or it'll be in August when my Peasant Pass is no longer blocked out for the summer).
I like all the pyro bursts on stage in place of the dragon
Thanks for showing us the new Fantasmic show that debuted last night. My son Tristan is looking forward to seeing this. He has a sorcerer Mickey hat that we bought him when we visited in 2021. He's been waiting 3 years. 😢
Happy 32nd Anniversary Fantasmic
THEY JUST REPLACED PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Scene On Columbia
It's so amazing to see the show back! 🤩 Thanks for sharing. I'm in the UK and can't wait to see Fantasmic again when I return later this year! I do hope that Disney plan to bring back the dragon some day but even without, it's still incredible 👏🏻
I was there on opening night and LOTS of people were furious that a huge swath of viewing space was designated as reserved dining package space. This is too much! Standby is either off to the extreme left or right of show center OR located far to the back of the viewing areas where sightlines are obstructed. I also went to the 2nd showing and the reserved spaces were only about 50% filled by showtime yet the entire space was kept clear of standby guests when it became obvious that no more reserved guests would be coming. I guess my $169 ticket just wasn't enough to get me a good view of the show. Now I need to buy an overpriced meal to get a good seat??? No thank you!
No crocodile, carpet or dragon? Things to improve/bring back for sure. Just glad Peter Pan is back and Pirates of the Caribbean are out.
Anyone notice they brought back the original Mickey entrance/intro?! Along with Murphy, I wish they brought back Mickey's original opening dance. Disney Hollywood Studios still has it. 😢
Bringing Peter Pan back was an EXTREMELY wise choice and I’ll give them MASSIVE props for that- but their show is so lackluster compared to World’s with the exclusion of the queen cauldron, more stage actors, etc.
I’m hoping Tic Tock comes back. 🐊 They did a good job tho!
After watching Peter Pan, I miss Jack, the music was more pumpin
So fun to see this return, I wanted to be there but I walk with a cane and I knew it would be sadnines..the whole thing for me will be a while...I was just there first of May..
What I am trying to say is thank you..I put this up on my 85" TV with surround..it simulates it on info given..but it was just great to watch..ok..picture this 70yo guy watching this on his BA TV claps and yells when we see Mickey again....and I am the only one around...I love this show so much..people think I am insane but I come over because DL is part of my DNA. It is also mone of the best values for entertainment you can have..
This show and fireworks on weekends..all the street musicians and actors, characters and CM that are pretty amazing
Thank you so much from Pahoa, Hi
Greatest too and not bad
So they are just using the backup they had before the fire if the the Murphy elevator malfunction.
@WDW News Today ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally after 1 year and a month, Fantasmic has returned.
Even without the dragon it was better how it was before
lord I hope they can manage to produce a new dragon
Thank you, WDW. You just saved me 1.5 hours of standing around on tired feet.😂
If you're waiting 90 minutes for California Fantasmic, you're doing something wrong.
Well, this is cool, but Florida still has the dragon segment. It also has a Frozen 2 segment, Pocahontas, AND Moana. Not shaming on DisneyLand’s version, I just think that Florida’s version is better.
Similar to "Ponyo" & "Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie"
I really hope they'll bring back the dragon sometime in the future.
I like the part addien with Janine dancing on the stage that was awesome
Florida’s dragon stick: Well, well, well, how the turn tables…
The dragon is why you watch the show and the Dragon came out when I was 16 and I’m an almost 50 now still love it. Other Disney parks use drones. Why can’t you just make drones to make the dragon concepts?
Seems like the magic carpet lift was damaged and needs replacing for the Aladdin segment, and it's too bad they don't seem to have the Tick-Tock crocodile animatronic anymore. And of course, there's the missing Maleficent dragon, but I wasn't expecting the replacement to be ready so soon. I'm sure they'll bring it back eventually, considering it's the centerpiece of the show, so I'm not too worried about it being gone for now. Hot take: I actually prefer Pirates over Peter Pan. I think it was more exciting, and the stunts were more impressive. Overall though, still nice that the show is back.
It’s great to have Fantasmic back after 13 months! They would have continued the show from last year on Memorial Day after the incident, but sadly they couldn’t afford it otherwise.
Now for the good news, Pirates of the Caribbean has been replaced by Peter Pan and this time with the Lost Boys! They also brought back the old choreography from the intro to the jungle scene and plus the green flames has returned when Maleficent goes up.
Ever since 2.0, they used the red flame after Mickey breaks through the mirror was all very confusing and no sound effect with a bang or whatsoever. Yes, sir. Still missing the dragon, but I’m sure if the rumor is true when it’s temporary until the time is right.
Peter!!
So the main flaw with the dragon, apart from being fairly flammable, was the flamethrower in the mouth and the plumbing to it. The effect that they used here to ignite the river works just as well, and they could have still have used a dragon. Heck, the old Fantasmic! dragon head STILL EXISTS. It isn't that hard to go find it, add some new leds for the eye effects, and put it on a scissor lift covered in sparkly cloth. Ya know, the same way they did it back in the 90s? It is great to see Fantasmic! again, but I think it needs a lot more work and maybe a little more investment? Also, what is with the ship having essentially no stunts? Did they fire them? Did they just not want to deal with the cost of having competent stunt performers? For supposedly investing a great deal in this "rework", it feels like a "B" mode, sort of like what you would have had previously if the dragon was out of commission. (EDIT: Also, what is with the shortening of certain audio segments. It cut a couple of times and I literally paused the video, went back, and then tried it on another browser and someone elses recording as well just in case the player or this video had weird cuts in it. Nope, it is just how the audio is played in the show. It sounds like someone went into audacity, picked a couple segments that sounded like they probably skip, and just hit delete>save. No crossfade even, just deleted sections ( Mainly talking about "friend like me" segment.)
When is Murphy the Dragon Returns like Maleficent Dragon (1991-1992-2009-2024 50-Foot-Tall Animatronic Dragon) from Fantasmic Returns on Disneyland?
Look good
im sad to see a lot of old elements have been replcaed with worse ones. mainly the lighting in the finially that was a really good buildup.
A whole year and all we got is this, sorry I would rather have B mode. But I do love the fact that they brought back Peter Pan.
Love Peter Pans return, but missing the vibrant color they had!!
now hopefully no more fiery incident like that ever again
So it’s a 2.02 without the fire
It was nice of DISNEY to find a solution for the broken Colombia ship; they had a speedboat pushing it.
R.I.P dragon 😢
Glad it’s back. DHS definitely has the definitive better version now though!
WDW News. Two things, Sorry to see the physical crocodile was"nt part of the Peter Pan pirate section. Also there was to many adds in the video and just placed anywhere and cutting up the flow of the show. Cheers, Chris Perry.
Hurray for Maleficent B Mode!
Anyone else want to see a chernabog animatronic if they were to decide to not rebuild Murphy?
Great complete coverage of the return of Fantasmic! Really liked that they brought back the Peter Pan scene especially with the live cannon fire, though I’m a bit shocked they did not include the animatronic of Tick Tock. Besides the lack of the dragon, which already seems like a downgrade, this updated show missed several elements in the previous versions of the show, including characters that have come and gone at the end such as Jessie, but with the addition of Mirabel. Still worth watching despite the mixed reviews.
ohh Murphy ubare missed and caption jack sparro with the black pearl
Waiting for Maleficent's cloak to catch fire so Disneyland can just completely remove the boss finale scene all together lol Just put the dragon back with no fire. Better than this.
I am going mad. The song that is playing at 7:00 I reconize it but I dont remember from where. Can sombody help me?
The pink elephant from dumbo.
Fantasmic! Returns are finally here at Disneyland after Fire with Peter Pan.
Hang on hang on, Disney said they would be “reimagining” the new maleficent fight scene and it’s just the version of the fight they would bring out when the dragon couldn’t be on stage.😒
