- SD - Fantasmic (1992) - Disneyland - Multicam - 1st Year - Best Quality
Shot with a (at the time) state of the art Hi8MM cameras on tripod, digitally transfered from the master tapes, then edited to soundboard audio of the show, this Summer of 1992 (first year) Fantasmic might be the best example from the first run available on UA-cam!
Imagine the feels the audience went through while watching this back then.
Must be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
I actually cried at the end of it, the first time I saw it in 1992. My husband thought I was nuts. It was so amazing.
I saw this that year as a kid a couldn't believe how magical it was! I had chills the whole show and couldn't stop talking about it at school to the other kids!
I got to go to a cast member (and their families) preview of this show when I was a kid. my face was right up against the railing bars around the rivers of America the entire time. I was totally amazed.
Thank you for this amazing quality! My mom is the original Evil Queen from 1992 and im posting this all around today for the grand re opening since the Queen isn't returning!
Niccolette Reta wow. I bet your mom has awesome stories of her time there
Your wrong Evil Queen is in the show still and i bet your your mom is not the Evil Queen
Scorpion Vela I think she means the Evil Queen talking to the mirror before she turns into her hag form.
@@BeanWolotl
you're* wrong
idiot
shelley olsen yes! And some amazing photos. The evil queen was not her only character role. She was many others ☺️
You sir...are the one of the major founding fathers of retro Disney Parks videos. I salute you!
They need to make their own Hamilton off of this!
Oh dude I just realized this was a few years before Toy Story, I was looking for Woody and co. in the back of the Mark Twain 😂
Glad to see Roger Rabbit again 😊
Lol! Same!!! 😂😂😂😂
Toy Story came out in Fall 1995.Fantasmic! opened Spring 1992.
That’s because it was released 3 years before Toy Story came out that’s why you couldn’t find Woody
This was one of my last performances in Fantasmic before I left......Kaa....Smee......Ursula......Pluto.....whoever took this video was a very good videographer..Thank You for allowing me to be able to share it with my family and friends....Disney was an awesome place to work..I had 8 Magical Years there !!! I'd do it all again!!! Much Love !!!!!!
I do love Rapunzel but I miss Snow White’s float ❤️ reminds me of my childhood, saw this in 1992 when I was 6 and was completely mesmerized. My dad recorded it and I watched it constantly
I was 5 when I got to see this in person. After that I was in love with this show❤
currently watching and the childhood nostalgia is so strong as a mid-90s baby 😭😩
the OG Fantasmic! will forever live on in my heart
Also, let's note the fact that this was probably one of the best Disney night shows ever. Back in the day, there were possibly only two disney night shows. This and the fireworks at magic kingdom. There was no Ilummination of Earth (A.K.A Epcot's Fireworks), no MGM's Fantasmic until 1998, No Star Wars fireworks until 2016, no World of Colors until 2010, and no Animal Kingdom nightime shows until 2017.
Hell there wasn't even Animal Kingdom yet.
These were pretty much the only nighttime firework show you can see. Not saying its no longer a great hit its still the best, but i can imagine how much extreme attention it had.
Chao Flaka this was before Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pocahontas, the Toy Story franchise, Mulan, Tarzan, Hercules, and yes, before the Lion King. It was in the earlier part of the Disney renaissance.
Chao Flaka There was the Main Street Electrical Parade.
although when "Fantasmic:!" opened at Disneyland in '92, they showed this 3 x's a night, *AND "Fantasy In The Sky" , AND* 2 performances of "Main Street Electrical Parade.
Wow! I never thought I'd see a good video of the 1992 Fantasmic! Thanks for sharing! Not only do you have the best 1992 Fantasmic video, you have the best footage of Ursula. It's amusing to see how the show has changed and even how it's stayed the same. For me, the biggest difference is that the actors exaggerate their movements so much more now; I actually thought Mickey was lacking his usual enthusiasm at the beginning until I realized everyone was more subdued than I'm used to. That change was definitely an improvement.
Thanks again for sharing some Disneyland history!
yeah, I noticed that too after watching them back to back.
Crazy how I'm watching this in 2017, I used to take the show for granted when I was little when they used to show it and now I miss it so much😭😭😭
I worked there in 1992 and often had to do 'crowd control' for this great show!
Wonderful memories. Thanks for the upload!
Nice! I think there are a lot of us from the older days who came to this video. I was a river driver between 2000-2003 on the attractions side for the show, then a show support barge driver between 2003-ish - 2006. It was still this version of the show (minus the Ursula barge). Those were fun times. BTW, if you worked on the West Side during that era, then the name Brad Lee must sound familiar.
I first saw this in 1995 and I never get tired of it. It has been and remains my favorite show of any Disney park!
Coming back and watching this now, it's funny to see the flickering of the film they used for the mist screens; I've become so attuned to the HD projection nowadays.
Disneyland would not be Disneyland without this iconic show! Can't wait for its return. Thx for sharing.
Same here, this adds a lot more awesome to when your at the park at night
Go to Hollywood studios, it's exactly the same
It was Disneyland for almost 40 years. And 1 with the Rivers of America refurbishment.
Who is here in 2020 quarantine time...? I miss Disneyland so much... I love the new Fantasmic show but do miss some of the old things like the whole Evil Queen part.... now she appears as the old lady only and Mickey didn’t talk as much.. now he has more dialogue... I will always love the original more... so many memories with my family... can’t wait to go to Disneyland once it is safe to go...
This may sound silly but honestly one of the best parts of the whole show for me and adds that sense of wonderment that makes the finale even better is the brief appearance of Steamboat Willie Mickey, the one that started it all.
Glad that element of Fantasmic has been there since Day 1.
Truly an amazing show. Disneyland would not be Disneyland without Fantasmic. As a kid, it just made you imagine and believe in Magic ! Can not wait to bring my future kids to see Fantasmic 🎆🏰🎆
This version still brings a tear to this old man’s eye. I’m glad it’s still out there in the world. Thanks for a trip back to the good old days.
This is quite good footage for something that long ago. Show must have been revolutionary when it premiered. First few minutes of soundtrack and narration seem similar to that still used in Florida.
Give me the 90s enthusiasm at Disney back. Thank you so much for this upload !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This quality is amazing for the first showing of Disneyland's Fantasmic! I love the show and I think that this version is showing us how the show originally used to go on. Now, there's more elements in the show that make it much more magical and more immersive than it did when it premiered, but it still has the one story that makes us wanting to see it over and over again no matter our age, still awesome as it was back when it debuted. AWESOME VIDEO
To me, the show is a big part of the Disney and Disneyland family, and it brings together the good and the bad, and overall, all the characters created in Disney history, all the way from Walt the man himself, to today, and it just keeps getting better! Walt would be so happy and proud
The Pikachu Brothers My bad
Ursula just loved saying "lets do it!' alot.
This quality is amazing! What a treasure. I miss the OG version
It's so cool to see the old characters on the mark twain boat. Their choreography looked VERY complicated then.
There was absolutely nothing complicated about it 😆
@@MeowMeow_95_ shut up you don't know all the coordination and choreography they have to do. To bad you will never be successful to do something like this and see how hard it is
@@Dro-Tello the Choreography is really not that hard, I've done it myself more than several times and I had fun, even the Sorcerer Mickey is not that complicated, you just have to practice, also it's kind of rude you said that to someone because they are not sure, but still it's really not that complicated, I had fun doing it
@@yeetuskabletusy2187 🤫
R.I.P. Eddie Carroll, Linda Gary and Wayne Allwine (the voices of Jiminy Cricket, Maleficent and Mickey Mouse). The three of 'em passed away and went up to heaven too soon.
Also Pat Carroll (no relation to Eddie)
@@rckblzrAnd that goes for Tony Jay (the voice of the Magic Mirror) as well.
The Maleficent dragon certainly has come a long way! RIP Murphy
The new version brought me here. I remember seeing this in person back in july 1999 on my first trip ever to DL. I didn't know anything about the show so it really took me by surpirse, it was like nothing I've ever seen in my life. Brings back good feelings. Thanks for sharing!
Who remembers the original dragon from this show before it was replaced and moved to Hollywood studios.
Both shows had the head on a stick before. Disneyland got Murphy in 2009, and Florida's version opened in 1998, so the OG dragon couldn't have been brought to Hollywood studios because the timeline doesn't make sense.
I remember the original dragon look! Though I will say that the footage of the dragon in the projector really needed a tune-up, those shots looked really dark and indistinct.
I was 10 years old when this was shot! Wow! Thanks so much for the nostalgia. I remember how AMAZED we all were at this show (still are). But remember when this technology blew us all away???
This is frickin’ amazing quality for being footage from 1992!! 😱😍
I’m *so* grateful this video exists. This was from a time when Disneyland was still magical, their employees and heads of department CARED about the impressions they left with their guests and they worked OVERTIME to make sure that their productions were absolutely TOP NOTCH, and invested the time and money into proper care and regular maintenance of the show and its effects. Unfortunately, though I don’t think that they’ll ever announce it to the public - the budget cuts and lack of care/maintenance is probably what lead to the modern day version of the dragon (2023) going up in flames and traumatizing their audience. THANK YOU for keeping the magic alive with this video. It is a treasured and cherished recording of a bygone era.
Cast members still very much care. It's the boneheads way above them making terrible choices.
Disney parks are FAR from the dire situation the movies are in. You might be exaggerating lol. Except for some of the hotel changes and some of the music choices in some parades & fireworks, the bubble effect from Disney is still pretty much the same.
Wow this is INCREDIBLE! Truly the best out here and I felt like I was really there in 1992! Beautiful! Thanks!!!
I was looking for 1992 quality forever.
Imagine the feelings people felt seeing this on opening day. Since I was born in 94, I never got to experience opening day, but I do remember seeing it with my family for the first time in 99 when I was five. I was amazed by everything in the show. At that age, I thought the Disney magic was all real.
My family would take a road trip from Utah to SoCal about every other summer growing up. My uncle lives in San Diego, which has no shortage of fun things to do, but heading up to the I-5 to Disneyland was always the pinnacle of the trip. I have thousands of wonderful Disneyland memories, but I will never forget how overwhelmed I was the first time I saw Fantasmic in 1992 as a twelve-year-old. It was on our last night at the park, and it was the perfect way to wrap up 2 days at the happiest place on earth. Watching this video brought back a swarm of memories, thank you so much for sharing!!
Thanks for posting.... call me crazy but I bought a Disneyland Annual pass in 1992.... I would drive down from San Francisco about twice a month to watch this.... front row.... Disney was so magical then,,,,
Who else is here right after watching the new version?
Gotta rinse the palatte. Remember why the show was great.
Special_Effect I prefer this version over the new
We loved this show! We have a home video on 8mm. This was back when there was a nice grassy area bordering the river. I camped out there for hours so our little ones could sit up front and see.
Me!
never seen the show decided to start form year one
I thank goodness people like you had the foresight to record such incredible things. I remember the crocodile chasing Hook, Ursula and that dragon. I watched the show multiple times with my boys from the Disney Gallery balcony one time bringing my parents knowing they would enjoy the show, but were unable to endure the milling crowds below. Now, as an old man, I sit and watch this with tears streaming from my eyes at the fond memories.
thank you so much for sharing this and bringing my childhood back to me. Disneyland and these shows mean everything to me and its nice to be able to look back at it before it changed, and when i was a kid. my dad always made sure we watched all the shows, and now as i get older and my dad is now about to turn 70 and i realize he wont always be around... things like this will always remind me of him and the amazing disney filled childhood he provided for me. i try to keep the traditions going with my kids now. thank you for this.
why does this look so much better than it does today in 2023
I can hardly believe how great the quality of this 26 year old recording is. Especially the audio is amazing. Thanks for preserving and sharing this!
Thank you for uploading this. I was Snow White and I am sadden to see they removed her float today and I think replaced it with Tangled. Thank you for capturing this classic moment in time.
idk why but the princesses & princes look more magical than the ones now
its actually insane that all of this is from 92 and is the first year of the show
wow '92 huh? I had just turned 2
This version is SO MUCH BETTER than the new one. I don't like the new female solo singer's voice, but I especially don't like her phrasing. Also the singer in the Little Mermaid song is so much better in this one. The whole soundtrack is better in this one. Also, the new show has a lot of amazing special effects, but it's pretty much all special-effects and nothing else. This one has so much heart. And the quality of the video is amazing from 1992.
keymusic I'm so with you on the singing!
keymusic yes I recently saw the new version and was really confused thinking… This is not the phantasmic I remember. It was really nice to find the version from era when I went.
keymusic - You nailed it! The new singers sound weak compared to the originals. To make it worse, both the singers you hear in the original are dead 😭 R.I.P. Jane and Mark
keymusic FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!!!
YES when i saw it in person finally after a years of not being in disneyland, i was like “what is this???” 😭
I knew it! I knew it! Once I told my mom.. on fantasmic used to be an Ursula’s animatronic/ balloon in the middle of the show.. both my parents told me.. I was imagining.. but I was sure about it! I had 5 or 6 (maybe) the first time we watched.. but still on my mind.. I knew I was right! In 1992 versión the had an Ursula animatronic!
omg they used to have an Ursula? WHAT?!?! THATS SO COOL! I was born in 1996, and didnt go to Disneyland until 2004-2005. Either I was too young to remember Ursula being in the show, or they may have taken her out by then! LOL
DannyAwesome63 they took her out in the 90s.
They moved her to japan? Hm let me go try and see...
Ah memories!😊
Glad Disney never forgot Dumbo’s acid trip 6:53
Super cool i love old shows from the 90s even fantasmick
I have such fond memories of experiencing this circa late 96/97ish from the desert party above pirates. I’m a WDW person but this put land on the radar besides the obvious for me. Nothing and I mean nothing will come close to OG Anaheim Fantasmic. Ok. Reflections of earth is neck and neck but they do tie each other. Just absolute class, perfection and Disney Magic.
I used to take my daughter to Disneyland when she was young, I can't tell you how many times we've seen Fantasmic! I love this ORIGINAL version! To me, the new version lost it's Magic sadly. Thank you for sharing this! Great memories!
I wish Walt Disney himself got to live to see this show and all the renaissance movies. If I had that Waverider from "Legends of Tommorrow", I'd go back in time and try to stop him from ever smoking and show him all the great movies, shows, and attractions that were made after he died.
I remember watching this show a LOOOONG time ago before I was even a teenager. Wasn't there a giant Kaa and giant Ursala that went across the Rivers of America back then? I saw that Kaa was in this video, but not on the water.
Boy, it’s really weird to see Brer Fox and the Big Bad Wolf celebrate with the heroes at the end
THIS. IS . INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Thank you for this. Saw it when it opened in 92. Brings back a lot of memories. Still the best version.
I guess it's only because I'm old, but I prefer this to the shiny, new 2017 version. This was still my Disneyland.

@@memeheart6199 lol
Twas the 90d
Such a good show. I do think it's better than the 2024 version, not that it's bad, it just misses the marks that the 1992 version hit so well. IMO.
Interesting to see Fantasmic before Aladdin, The Lion King, and Hunchback of Notre Dame came out.
More like a birthday present for me because you uploaded this video on my birthday
This is amazing 😍 thank you
My one complaint about this video is that during the Mark Twain boat at the end, the camera stays focus on steamboat Mickey other than looking at the whole boat so we can see what Disney characters were used at the time
God the differences between then and now. But the original version is still really good.
I knew there were more scenes on the water projectors that were removed!!!
PRUE ! Which ones?
Crawling3nmyskin the flowers at 4:10 were changed for sure since the opening but since fantasmic 2.0 it’s a completely different show
Almost cried watching this. Such an awesome show.
The Ursula float/puppet looks even more like Divine than the animated Ursula. Haha
By far one of the best sound systems ever put together just for this show in 92. Sounds so good! I believe they kept most of it but I’m not sure.
Meyer Sound and d&b audiotechnik
Saw this version when I was about five when Ursula comes out I remember I freaked out LOL
I was 2 so this looks awesome.
The best version of Fantasmic. No comparison.
I'll always have a heart with the classic, but I do really like the updated one. People are just scared of changes.
groovdafied Yeah Old rides getting replaced I get sad” when they change...
just a awesome video.
We went to the 20 year anniversary event. It was so fun. Living so far away, we don't usually get to be a part of the pass events as they are gone so fast or we're not going to be in the area then.
I was 10 years old and this still gives me chills!! And I still prefer the ending of this original: those pyrotechnics absolutely BLAZED the night sky-- for 15 seconds it looked like it was daytime. Would love to know why the shift away from that was made (assuming safety first, of course) but wow was it amazing to see.
Absolutely breathtaking! The new version sucks I'm gonna go into city hall at Disneyland and complain every time I go.
David Hernandez please do! And email Disney on their website
David Hernandez too bad so sad
Write a snail mail letter, too. They pay attention when you take the time to actually write.
Though this was 4 years ago its quite hilarious to see you all complaining. The new one does not suck you guys just have a phobia of change
@@kpov2533 it still sucks absolute donkey balls
I was born in 1994 yet I saw fantasmic at Disneyland when I was little but I don't remember what year nevertheless so much memories :)
I am CRYING that this is almost exactly the current WDW show save for a few scenes from movies post 1992
This is great 👍
Still the best night shoe in 2024
30 years later
I got to see this show back them. I loved the huge Ursula animatronic
@@zeldafan1942 she was amazing and huge
@@lyndafall8818 I only recently discovered her animatronic!
IT BREATHES FIRE YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
People Nowdays: WOOOOO YEEAAHH LETTS GOOOO

+Sergio Meza Fantasmic will actually return before Star Wars Land is completed. It is scheduled to return next summer.
The wait is over Fantasmic has reopened with new effects and more characters.
To think this is one of the only remaining attractions from that time now.
Horse-drawn street cars, horseless carriage, omnibus, Disneyland railroad, main street cinema, tiki room, jungle cruise, pirates of the Caribbean, haunted mansion, explorer canoes, fronteirland shootin arcade, big thunder mountain railroad, mark twain steamboat, sailing ship Columbia, rafts to Tom Sawyer Island, Fantasmic, sleeping beauty castle, snow whites scary adventure, Pinocchio's daring journey, king Arthur carousel, Dumbo the flying elephant, Casey Jr. Circus train, storybook land canal boats, it's a small world, autopia, matterhorn, mad tea party, Alice in wonderland, Mr. Toads wild ride, Peter pan's flight, rocket jets, space mountain, submarines, and the monorail are all listed under attractions in the 1992 guidebook and still exist in some form today. I only skipped over a handful that aren't still there... although as far as live shows go, fantasmic is the most in-tact of them all (assuming it's still essentially the same show once it returns)
I watch this back when I was 7 year old
Feels kind of funny seeing Chip & Dale and Roger Rabbit at the bow of the ship instead of the Toy Story characters!
I am curious as to how the water projections worked way back in 1992. Did they already have digital projection systems or was it film?
Physical film. They didn’t begin using digital projection for the show till 2008.
Hi I'm from the future lmao coming back here from 2023 and wow omg dude holy smokes this is old as heck
5:01 the BEST part and it fucking sucks Disneyland took it out for The Lion King.
They used the same soundtrack for the intro? Until now the voices still sounds amazing 😍😍
I miss the fireworks during the Sorcerer's apprentice portion.
Roger rabbit on the steamboat iconic
so fantasmic show appeared for the first time in 1992?
10CIRL Yup May 13th 1992
I just did that same year.
I'm the same age as you, 28 years old.
Disneyworld was ‘99 or ‘98 I think and Disneyland was ‘92
Idk how I feel about the new rendition of fantasmic
The new virson is ok I saw the old virson in person and iiked it a lot more
Oh god! The dragon looks weird compared to the newer one!😂
