Mickey’s PhilharMagic Premiering in April at Disney California Adventure Park

by Michael Ramirez, Editorial Content Director, Disneyland Resort
The spectacular magic of Disney animation and music will soon come to life in the 3D movie musical Mickey’s PhilharMagic at Disney California Adventure park.
Premiering in April at the Sunset Showcase Theater in Hollywood Land, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other favorite Disney characters take the stage in this 3D fantasy adventure.
As Donald prepares the orchestra for Mickey, he comes across the conductor’s baton and Mickey’s Sorcerer’s Hat. A little magic goes a long way and proceedings go awry! Donald is unexpectedly plunged into a 3D dream world and you’re taken along for the ride. The experience will sweep you away into the fantastic world of classic Disney animated musical sequences—from “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Little Mermaid,” to “Peter Pan” and “Aladdin.”
What better time for Mickey’s PhilharMagic to debut than during Get Your Ears On – A Mickey and Minnie Celebration! Join us as we celebrate 90 years of magic with the all-new “Mickey’s Mix Magic” nighttime projection show, “Mickey’s Soundsational Parade,” limited-time décor, specialty foods, merchandise and more!
Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more details on this exciting new addition to Disney California Adventure park!

Better than movie previews, I guess.

Better than empty space, and for the locals.....

Wasn't there plans on updating the CGI and swapping different animated sequences in the other versions of PhilarMagic? Because I remember this show was one of the first times guests get to see their various Disney characters (Not counting Mickey and Donald) in CGI form. Plus the CGI actually looked impressive for 2003. But slowly started looking showing its age.

Who has a show about him and it's named after that mouse?
No one, but Donald Duck!

talk about left field.. i would have never expected this at all (especially since the show is like 15 years old)

I’m assuming this is the Disneyland Paris standard width version, not the Walt Disney World ultra widescreen version.

I haven't been in this theater for a while.. I know it has rumbling effects. Does anyone know any other effects the theater has? The MK theater has scent blasters and water squirters for this show

 

[Disney Irish]

Good, I was wondering why this show never made it out west.

DLP just got it in October. So I assume it was planned to push it to all parks.

This show seems to have good reviews. I’m excited to finally check it out.

I believe Mickey's PhilharMagic is one of the last places where you get to hear Wayne Allwine's performance as Mickey Mouse at Disneyland and Walt Disney World (Besides Fantasmic at DHS). Since Bret Iwan (The current voice of Mickey) is currently heard at various shows and other areas at DL and WDW. Bret even redid some new lines in Disneyland's updated version of Fantasmic. As a result, this leaves PhilharMagic and WDW's Fantasmic as one of the last places where Wayne Allwine's performance remains untouched.

Reminds me of how Paul Winchell (The original voice of Tigger) was able to record some lines at Walt Disney World's "The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh" since the Imagineers felt bad for Paul not being able to voice Tigger in the 2000 movie "The Tigger Movie" (Jim Cummings voiced Tigger) due to his voice losing energy due to his age. This resulted with the Winnie The Pooh ride at WDW being the last time Paul Winchell was able to voice him.


The Disneyland version of the Winnie The Pooh attraction has Jim Cummings voicing him.

This is a big, whoa moment. Completely out of nowhere! Definitely gonna see!

I'm excited about this. Haven't seen this show in 10 years. Glad its finally coming here.

 

[Stevek]

Pretty happy about this. Was hoping this would happen years ago.

 

[Phroobar]

This will be fun to see. It's a good use of the Muppet theater if we never get Kermit back.

I kinda of assumed a long time ago they would have found a way to enclose FLT and replace M&MM with this. But good they found a place for it in DCA.

I’m assuming this is the Disneyland Paris standard width version, not the Walt Disney World ultra widescreen version.

I was kind of wondering about this. I've only been to the one in Florida, and the very wide screen is (partially) what made the show special.

 

[wityblack]

It'll be nice to have the show, and it's definitely better than movie previews, but this entire park needs to fix its identity crisis.

 

[Rich T]

Awesome! Looking forward to finally seeing that show.
