Does anyone know where those elephants came from? Like did Disney ever even make an Elephant movie?
Yes actually. The Pink Elephants made their debut in Dumbo (1941)
The pink elephants are from the nightmare scene in dumbo aren’t they?
They're from Dumbo
Dumbo
Dumbo, "Pink Elephants on Parade". The "don't drink, kids" portion
Dan looks very dapper in this video. A dapper Dan.
Eyyyyyyyyyy
OOOO NICE ONE NICE ONE!!!😂
*finger guns* 👉🏻👉🏻
Lol
* Airhorns sound .mp3 *
I find it amazing that someone who calls himself "Disney Dan" does not know about Pink Elephants on Parade from Dumbo.
@@MemeinAndDreamin That response has NOTHING to do with what I wrote.
I mean that movies pretty bad, I can't say I blame him for blocking it out! Hahaha
Yeah I’m kind of disappointed actually.
Although to be honest when I was little that part made me bored so I usually fast forwarded it.
@@whossoul whats wrong with dumbo
yeahhhh i was disappointed
Pretty shocked that Dan doesn't remember the part of Dumbo where baby Dumbo gets super drunk and hallucinates menacing marching elephants.
Having only seen the WDW version in person I love the finale with the Steamboat Willie boat and Mickey. Of course the best line from the show is "some imagination, huh?" Awesome video we need more show summaries like this!
Exactly it’s good
I was not expecting to see Genie with a knife today but here we are.
Fantasmic is and always will be my favorite disney show of all time. I rarely stop to watch parades or fireworks, but every time I go to disneyland, I will stop to watch at least part of Fantasmic. Listening to the 22 minute soundtrack while I do homework helps so much with the disney withdraw lol.
Yes!
:o I do that too
The Disneyland Version is personally my Favorite, They really used the small space amazingly, It is just perfect and fits the park so well.
Yea but at least we have the Florida dragon still and you will have a screen now
Look at Disney Dan being up on the latest lingo "of the young people!" Great job! 😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oddly enough, out of all the changes the show went through, I am most disappointed in the loss of the Brave Little Tailor outfit. The symbolism of Mickey as the tailor facing off against the dragon made the stakes feel higher rather than facing off already in his Sorcerer garb. As the tailor he is a wannabe knight rather than magic wielder. Sorcerer Mickey vs Maleficent feels more like an even match whereas Brave Little Tailor vs Maleficent is more like David vs Goliath. In the older incarnations he appeared as Sorcerer Mickey only afterward, making him seem more victorious and transcendent. He experiences an apotheosis into Sorcerer Mickey in the original show, whereas now he undergoes no change after the battle.
I remember seeing a promo photo of Fantasmic from the 90s with Sorcerer Mickey facing Maleficent. Pretty cool to finally see it for real.
@@phoebelajoie5466 Oh, okay.
@@1983horizons1 FYI that's actually the only change to the show I like.
I miss it too but Sorcerer Mickey facing Malificent is amazing!
I read Brave Little Tailor as Brave Little Toaster, and I was like, "Wait-- when was there a Brave Little Toaster outfit???" 🤣
I've literally never click on a video so fast. Fantasmic is hands down my favorite thing the Disney company has ever made (including all movies and theme parks)
I will forever love the end sequence. For me the highlight of any show at Disney is its music and I think most of the themes hit their peaks during the finale in general (as in whenever you hear a show's main theme play, its at its strongest during the finale part of the music with one exception) and that holds true for Fantasmic as well. The Mickey effect at the end is just the icing on the cake after that.
The original Fantasmic show is the reason why I fell in love with Disneyland/Disney. Timeless. Bring it back…again!
Love the original dancing monkey’s 🧡 The finale always gives me full body chills.
the animatronic dragon from fantasmic might be the greatest freaking thing I've seen at the park... I remember whatever the last year was that we saw the show at, then the dragon shows up and it just blew. my. damn. mind! I'd never seen anything so epic! then he does his firebreathing schtick and we were sitting so close you could feel how hot all the flames were. that's the fantasmic moment that sticks with me to this day!
That's Maleficent, from Sleeping Beauty.
It's a female.
@@TheOneTrueDragonKing oh you're right. been a while since I saw the movie much less that fantasmic show
I guess Dan hasn't seen Dumbo. The pink elephants' scene is the best part of the movie.
The elephants are from the Pink Elephants on Parade sequence in Dumbo. I don't blame you for blocking it out from there in the slightest; Dumbo was a *time*
Love this video. Honestly Fantasmic is one symbol of my larger opinions on Disneyland vs. WDW. Orlando may have bigger spaces and more variety and fancier setups, but everything just feels better in Anaheim. Not only because it has the better versions of several rides, but just because everything feels smaller and cozier and like you’re more thoroughly “in it.”
Yes, while I would love to visit WDW someday, it just feels like it would take me up to two whole weeks just to get to do everything there! While at Disneyland and DCA it's not nearly as overwhelming and I'm thankful for that.
Steamboat Willie and just the main Fantasmic refrain are my favorite parts. When those horns kick in in the beginning, it's overwhelmed crying time.
See it in your mind,
And you can find
In your imagination,
Tales of enchantment,
Beauty and romance,
Happily ever after!
i LOVE fantasmic, the florida version will always have a special place in my heart
I know
THE FLORIDA SHOS IS MY favorite 😍
I want an upgrade to Fantasmic for the 50th anniversary of the Walt Disney World resort!
Pink Elephants on Parade is from Dumbo!
Dan needs a Dumbo refresher.
Love the show, even if it might have traumatized me as a kid. That was then and this is now. Its an amazing show with amazing effects!
Glad to know I wasn't the only one who had nightmares about it
@@alisonwallace5619 yeah, 4 year old me had the unfortunate experience of grabbing a seat next to the speaker. So needless to say, the soundtrack at 10x the volume really freaked me out.
I love this Fantasmic commentary! I always wanted to be a character performer at the park but only do the little routine at the end of Fantasmic. Nothing else 😂
My dad does the best Mickey impression when he says “some imagination huh?” And honestly it’s one of those fun Disney memories that I’ve had for at least twenty years now!
Fantasmic has always been a must do when I go to Disneyland, as a little girl my favorite part was Peter Pan, it was my favorite movie and I thought it was so cool that it was in fantasmic, now I think it's the Mark Twain at the end seeing all the different characters
The one thing that WDW Fantasmic has going for it is it doesn’t corral a whole section of the park into a traffic nightmare and it has actual seating lol.
You know what, Fantastic captures the attention of so many people that I've noticed the walkways they keep clear are plenty wide for the few remaining guests still wanting to do rides
@@Kennyhayes I’m not talking about the walkways themselves, I’m talking about how the park becomes “One Way” in parts- like you can’t go through Adventureland to get to Frontierland, and parts of Frontierland reroute you around the entire area. I get its a necessity, but you never have to deal with that at DHS if you want to ride Tower before a showing.
every time a new disney dan vid comes out I immediately get a massive boost of serotonin
Saw Fantasmic two years ago and it was the BEST experience of our whole trip!
We did the dinner package with River Belle and our seats were incredible.
When the Mark Twain showed up at the end and EVERYONE was on that float… Esmeralda, Hercules and Meg, Robin Hood… I mean everyone… I admit I cried.
It was so emotional. Maleficent as the dragon was incredible. Loved the Princess floats and the entire water show.
Truly the GOAT of all Disneyland shows!
I would just add one thing… show
Walt’s face in the water projection right before Mickey says “some imagination huh?” and ends the show. That would truly be epic!
I don't think we caught Fantasmic fully when I went to Disneyland, but when Maleficent came out as a full-BODIED dragon I like screamed. Just...vastly superior to WDW on that specific front, and all the other stuff you've called out here.
I think they're missing a narrative thread for switching out Snow White with Tangled in the new princess montage. Because, in the original setup, since Snow White was featured in the princess montage, we transition to the Magic Mirror and the Evil Queen/Wicked Witch. It would have made more sense if Mother Gothel was there as the Wicked Witch made the zoom call to the other villains.
But aside from that, the new refresh looks nice (kinda still have a soft spot for the og setup though.)
A suggestion for your next video, Dan: you should tackle the literal Fantasmic on Parade that used to be in Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris: Fantallusion!
"Was there just a movie I want watching?"
I dunno, did you not watch Dumbo? Because that's all from the Pink Elephants on Parade number
nothing makes my day like coming home to a new disney dan!
I really didn’t like when Snow White was removed from the barges. We always hear Walt say “ let’s not forget it all started with a mouse “. Well animated features all started with Snow White.
The Rapunzel segment is nowhere near as good/epic as the Snow White was. Definitely a downgrade.
Yes yes yes! I need more Disneyland specific Fantasmic content
Me seeing the Disneyland version of Fantasmic in the video so far: Ya, I’ve been stranded at MGM seeing nightmares! I need to go to Disneyland to see this!😯
I've worked the Disneyland Fantasmic! for many years and it's always awesome to hear how much the show still resonates with guests. Hoping to be back to working in the shadows on that island again soon.
I have only seen fantasmic at Tokyo Disney sea. It was always the best way tl end the day in the park, an amazing show. So sad it doesn't exist anymore but glad I was able to catch it one last time last year.
It'll soon be back. If they can make the Disneyland Fantasmic come back, soon so will Tokyo DisneySea's.
My favorite part of all Dan's videos is how much he amuses himself with what he says.
the pink elephants are from fantasia and then dan said "there's something with mickey and weapon he just killed a woman" got me laughing
The elephants are from Dumbo not Fantasia
@@stephaniejarrett5022 my memory was mixed up
the music from Fantasmic is ICONIC.
I can sing the whole thing from front to back, I agree, it’s the GOAT. I love it, I want so badly to see it live someday.
We ended up missing the Fantasmic show that one time we went to Disneyland due to high winds. But the boat scene with all of the characters going past at DHS is very fun. Hopefully I can get back out to Cali to see it
Fantasmic 1.0 is the goat. Fantasmic 2.0 is worth watching once but then any viewing of it that comes later should only come while waiting in line for Pirates or Haunted Mansion (Holiday).
The music in Fantasmic is probably my favorite. That trumpet intro is so good!
Genie coming in with the switchblade 😭
Fantasmic at Disneyland is far superior and the best nighttime show I've seen at a domestic park.
We’re Disneyland locals, so I’ve seen fantasmic multiple times, but my mother has never seen it at DLR. we went to see Fantasmic in Florida and I spent the whole time saying: “ok, but in California this is great.” The Florida version is so disappointing.
Even more disappointing? In the Evolution of Ariel video that he did, they make Ariel get covered up in a fire retardant blanket during the finale fireworks because they can't get her out as she's stuck in one place.
I've only seen the Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios & I really enjoyed it there, so this was way more amazing!
I haven't gone to a Disneyland park yet but when I do IT'S A MUST that I will watch this. I adore this show and I listen to the soundtrack often. I love watching Mickey interact with Villains and prevail. His voice always makes me tear up and I'm always crying by the time he says "Some Imagination, huh?"
Ladies and gentlemen, Mickey is a huge part of my motivation in keeping me going in the animation field. ON TO THAT DEGREE!!!
Pink elephants are from Dumbo, after he & the mouse get drunk on alcohol. The song is "pink elephants on a parade." I love that song
"Gets in a zoom call" hahaha I almost spit taked at that. Once when watching as a kid we were sitting right at the fence and one of the flotsam/jetsam barges started going right right us and bumped into the bank right in front of us. Having that thing just coming straight for you and you expect it to turn but nope it just keeps coming was a little scary 🤣
Oh I am so here for this video! I love how passionately you talked about the finale of this show, or as I have now found out, parade! Fantasmic is probably my favourite thing at any Disney park and I feel so lucky that I have seen it at Disneyland. It brings me to tears every time I even listen to the music. Perfection. I also love the parade Fantillusion, that was based on Fantasmic and used to be in Tokyo Disneyland and then Disneyland Paris.
Absolute G.O.A.T! Hands down my favorite thing in the park!!!!!
Ive only seen it 2 times in person
Heck! I am a huge fan of Fantasmic! I sure wish that Fantasmic! returns this year if there's some cast members that are rehiring.
The appearance of the ship (in Disneyland) is the greatest slight of hand ever. I was looking this way at something in the show, and when I turned my head THERE WAS A GIANT PIRATE SHIP.
Best disney channel on youtube. You're even better than Disney's actual channel!!!!
Let’s just hope that Fantasmic would get a major overhaul for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World this year and here’s a list of possible changes that could come with the upgraded Fantasmic!
- New, upgraded HD mist screens
- a newer jungle scene with The Jungle Book, The Lion King, and Tarzan
- an updated bubble montage
- more Princess/Prince couples for the Princess segment
- Pocahontas replaced with a different segment
- more villains added for the good vs evil portion
- a massive animatronic Maleficent dragon
- an update musical score
Disneyland Fantasmic is epic because it erupts from seemly out of nowhere on Tom Sawyer island. Hollywood Studios version feels more like something you’d see at a nice all inclusive in Mexico.
My favorite part of this entire video 4:31
Favorite thing about Fantasmic... when they literally bag Ariel at the end cause they can't move her in time for the finale fireworks!! Lol
Fantasmic is hands down the best show ever created at Disney World and Disneyland. I know Disney World’s needs some love but I saw it 17 times on my program and I love it soooo much… I tried to see Disneyland’s twice when I went in 2016 and 2018. 2016 it was being refurbed and 2018 it was not showing the day we went, and I was very sad. But I jam out to that soundtrack!
IT'S ALWAYS SPECIAL TO WATCH IT!!
That car stunt show was awesome though
Probably the best show there at the time
No I’m not taking that back
Still one of my favorite DisneyDan videos, thanks as always!!
Danny i gotta tell you, beyond the info in the videos( which by the way is awesome every time), i love seeing you! Your laugh is so uplifting and never fails to brighten my day. Never stop making fun of disney character fails and Walt Disney World! You're awesome dude
1. Totally agree, fantasmic is amazing.
2. Totally HOPE they're using this down time in FL to revamp and update the HS Fantasmic.
3. Where can I get the awesome remix loop?..... totally...
Fantasmic is my favorite thing in all of Disneyland!
I loved it when I saw it at Disney World on vacation. I even got a souviner plastic mug from that show that had been used for hot chocolate they were selling at the time.
Your laughter always made my day as well as the jokes you did. I find your evolution videos very fun to watch. You should make more of these videos
my first time seeing the show (MGM studios one and yes...band trip) we also had the Maleficent on a stick as the battle part but I loved the show entirely and like the magic of Mickey going from the top of the mountain back to the bottom I still get goosebumps remembering that part I love it x3
I love your disney videos alot. Thanks for the video dan, I appreciate your existence 👍👍👍
Love ur videos! Watching this on break at work and cracking up haha
I just watched Fantasmic at my most recent DL trip, and man that was some truly excellent stuff.
Thank you making these you are awesome
My God when I was like, five years old I loved Fantasmic. It was always my favorite.
I always get emotional watching Fantasmic!! It's my favorite show🎉
Another title fit fantastic Mickey vs. Malificent on a stick.
The dragonslaying sequence in Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorite scenes in any Disney movie, and I love how they portrayed it in this show. So good.
DISNEY DAN IS THE GOAT
You guys rock! And Dan too!
The fact that it still isn’t back is scaring me a little. Fantasmic is the best show they have ever put out and led me into why I love the parks so much (and tbh they’re on thin ice rn). The music is god teir, the effects are gorgeous, and it’s a show that I connect with strongly.
0:33 Ofc my guy was in band I knew theirs a reason I’m obsessed w this channel
ok now my afternoon vibes are gonna be your lofi fantasmic. yes yes yes let's do this.
Great Video Dan.
You should check out the defunct version of Fantasmic in Tokyo Disney sea
I only ever saw it once as a kid but wow it still was amazing 👏
Fun fact. At the Steamboat Willie segment of Fantasmic, there was this incident where Goofy accidentally fell on Dopey one of the seven dwarfs. Good thing both of the people in the costumes only suffered from minor injuries. It happened in 2016 to those types of people who ask those questions.
wait a second here Dan... Have you not watched Dumbo? You must have blocked it out because frankly that entire movie is upsetting. it's one of the three Disney movies I won't watch as an adult.
Are the 3 movies Dumbo, Pinocchio and Bambi? Because if so - same!!!
@@raynwise Yes! Literally all three! I recently watched all of them in order of release and I had to skip them. I started Dumbo but when those kids started being mean to him I had to stop. OG Disney movies did not mess around!
No joke as a kid this show inspired me to get into stage production. I've watched them transform the island into a stage so many times. I've had dreams (wile I was asleep) of working there and setting up the show.
Fantasmic! Is one of the Best disney parks shows at all time! My favorite versions are Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySEA 😍😍😍
Yup, these two together are indeed the GOAT! Hollywood Studios' version? Not so much.
@@christiandacanay3086 True! 😍😍😍
Hi #DIstory, I loved the Fantasmic in Disneyland (California), Disney´s Hollywood Studios (Orlando, Florida) in USA & Tokyo Disney Sea (Tokyo) in Japan with #Mickey Mouse!!
Fantastic video Dan!
It's good at both WDW and Disneyland for different reasons. But the best part is that audiences in both coasts can experience Mickey's imagination and that sensational finale 😍
My first time watching it was when I was with my family for the 50th anniversary which was the greatest time!
If I saw Dan in his Sorcerer Mickey outfit I would assume he sold bomb ass drugs lol 🤣
"The Million Dollar Genie" Ted DiBiase.
The funniest few seconds of my life.
Oh my.
The laughs gets me everytime
from what i can understand fantasmic 2.0 has a brand new story line compared to the first version. The first one was quite literally a dream that Mickey had, but in this one he's discovering magic (imagination is still a big factor obviously). at the beginning, mickey is discovering his new-found magic and learning that his magic is limitless and all up to his imagination. he starts learning more as the show goes on, first learning about the natural order and the Circle of Life. Then there's illusions with the Pink Elephants, and then he meets the genie, and learns the power of wishes. This journey of learning more magic is also why we see him in his Sorcerer Mickey outfit. He then goes under the sea and learns about the natural order down there, and there's some throwbacks to the original show w pinnochio and the whale. then Mickey learns about curses with Pirates, and then the magic of love with the princesses, which is when he stumbles upon the magic mirror, which of course offers to show him more power. Mickey agrees and is thrown into the world of evil magic, which of course he fights back, gaining control and meaning behind his magic. finally, he has full control and we get the finale. i really love this new story they tell in the show, though of course there are things i miss from the old show, like the Peter Pan segment. this show means so much to me and i hope it returns to the parks soon
fantasmic is the best my fav show ever and the fireworks not talking about the one in hollywood studios
even tho in hollywood studios its kinda good ive seen all the stunts shows there but disneyland is the goat i cant wait till it comes back
