Fantasmic! is Getting Dated

I like that Fantasmic isn't about the Pixar characters (which I do love) and that it features many of the classic characters. I was not a huge fan of Pocohantas just because for a historical character the movie wasn't all that historically correct but I have no problem with the scene in Fantasmic and I enjoy the music from that movie. I suppose some updates would be ok but I am not disappointed by Fantasmic when we go to see it.

Steamboat Willie Mickey is black and white and then turns to color as the boat rounds the corner and all the characters come out.

Thanks. Maybe it was just glitchy last week because my husband also didn't see him change and we did remember it.

Eh, I actually like the more classic Disney characters. Today's market is already saturated with Pixar characters and more recent stuff. A bit of old school feels good. It's like rockin' to Led Zeppelin among the swarm of Beliebers. There's nothing wrong with my kids developing their own classics, but there's also something pretty awesome about them knowing stuff from before their time too.

Well said!

We still love Fantasmic. It is definately skewed more towards the classics, and I do agree about updating the scenes on the water fans. Pocahontas was never one of our favorite Disney films, and it would be nice to see a new skit in place of that section. Was Pocahontas a recent film when Fantasmic was created? I was surprised to see it highlighed in the show so much. My biggest gripe with the latest Fantasmic was that they got ride of all the characters on the ferry boat at the end! That was such an amazing surprise for us the first time we saw it. (that, and the water catching on fire). I can't believe they took that out! Now, the characters simply come out and dance on the main stage area at the end. LAME!!! ....at least that is how it was in Sept last year versus the other three previous years. Was this temporary or, is this permanent change? Dan

I think I was there that night- I remember it being very windy, and they had a few boats crash- I noticed a money or two fall down.
They also didn't have Mickey on top of the mountain at the end that night
