Dazzling guests with fountains, lasers, pryotechnics, and tons of Disney characters, Fantasmic! is a feast for the eyes and ears. Performed in the gigantic Hollywood Hills Amphitheatre behind the Tower of Terror, it stars Mickey in a battle between good and evil. Everything starts fine as Mickey magically controls several colourful fountains; and scenes from Disney animated features are reenacted. One of the neatest effects in the show, is when they project animatin onto a screen of spraying water. Halfway through the 26-minute show, the Disney villains gang up to defeat Mickey once and for all. At the climax of the show, Malificent recreates a scene from Sleeping Beauty and becomes a towering dragon. In an instant, the fire-breathing menace lights the moat surrounding the stage ablaze with huge flames. The audience can feel the heat as Mickey fights back and eventually prevails. In the finale, Steamboat Willie comes sailing by, and aboard is every Disney character from Mary Poppins to Brer Fox. Fantasmic!'s soundtrack was created specifically for this show and combines newly created music with dozens of Disney favourites creating a great listening experience for, which in the end, is the best show at Walt Disney World!
