Fantasmic! show script - Part 2
Here's the second part to my Fantasmic! show script. So enjoy -
“Imagination” Singer: Sleep with your mind and you will find your imagination…
(The mist screens come on to show Prince Phillip dancing with Princess Aurora, whose dress goes from pink to blue, before going to Cinderella and Prince Charming dancing together.)
“Imagination” Singer: …tales of enchantment, beauty and romance…
(The mist screens change once again to show Aladdin and Jasmine kissing while onboard the magic carpet.)
“Imagination” Singer: …all living happily ever… after.
(The mist screens disappear, and the entire stage lights up to show Belle and the Beast on a little raft covered by electric lights depicting the rose.)
Singer: Tale as old as time, True as it can be, Barely even friends, Then somebody bends, Unexpectedly, Just a little change, Small to say the least, Both a little scared, Neither one prepared, Beauty and the Beast, Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and the Beast.
(The raft with Belle and Beast on disappears, and a raft with Ariel and Prince Eric on appears out of the darkness, with electrical lights depicting sea coral around the raft.)
Singer: What would I give, If I could live, Outta these waters? What would I pay, To spend a day, Warm on the sand? Betcha on land, They understand, Bet they don't reprimand their daughters, Bright young women, Sick o' swimmin', ready to stand.
(The raft carrying Ariel and Prince Eric disappears, and a raft with Snow White and her prince appears out of the fog, with electrical lights on the raft in the shape of the apple.)
Singer: Some day my prince will come, Some day we'll meet again, And away to his castle we'll go, To be happy forever I know, Some day when my dreams come true.
Singer: Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme…
(After the float with Snow White and her Prince on has left the lake, the music begins to sound a bit haunting. On stage, the Evil Queen walks on.)
The Queen: Fame in the magic mirror. Come from the farthest space! Through wind and darkness, I summon thee! Speak!
(A mist screen comes on to show the Magic Mirror, while the Queen watches from the back of the mist screen.)
The Queen: Let me see thy face!
Magic Mirror: Fame is thy beauty, your majesty. But hold! Three lovlier maids I see. And here, in Mickey’s imagination, beauty and love will always survive.
The Queen: NO!
(The Magic Mirror disappears from the mist screens, and the Queen moves deeper into the island stage, where a bubbling cauldron is.)
The Queen: A magic spell in the black of night!
(The cauldron’s steam turns purple.)
The Queen: With a scream of fright!
(The cauldron’s steam turns green, with a scream echoing through the stage.)
The Queen: And a bolt of light!
(The cauldron turns red and begins to shake.)
The Queen: Turn my hair to white!
(Just then, the stage is filled with green light, and when it clears, it shows the Witch standing in her place, laughing evilly.)
The Witch: Now I’ll turn that little mouse’s dream into a nightmare fantasmic! Imagine this!
(She continues laughing as the stage darkens, and she walks around.)
The Witch: Magic Mirror, on the wall, all the forces of evil, I call!
(The mist screens come back on and the villains appear in this order: Jafar, Scar, Cruella De Ville, Horned King, Judge Frollo, the Queen of Hearts, Captain Hook, Madame Mim and Yzma. After they have disappeared, the Magic Mirror appears on the mist screens as the Witch disappears off the island stage.)
Magic Mirror: You have the power to…
(The mist screens change as the Mirror talks to reveal the Witch.)
The Witch: …control his mind!
(The Witch’s face changes to that of Ursula’s.)
Ursula: Oh yes! How exciting! (As only her eyes become visible) Let’s do it!
(She laughs, as hundreds of eyes look desperately at her. She continues laughing, and the eyes are revealed to be green sea plants with eyes. Just then she stops and the mist screens show her descending next to her cauldron.)
Ursula: And yes…
(Just then the mist screen shows her swimming next to Flotsam and Jetsam.)
Ursula: I admit in the past I’ve been nasty, they weren’t kidding when they called me, well, a witch!
(The screen changes to show Ursula looking at the audience, before her concocting a potion in her cauldron.)
Ursula: Vegus vuga deed! Ursula will take matters into her own tentacles!
(Just then it shows a green hands appearing out of the cauldron and covering Ursula.)
Ursula: How nice! Mickey Mouse’s mind will be mine!
(On “How nice!” it shows Ursula looking happy, then it changes to show Ursula turning red.)
Ursula: And then I’ll make him writhe! I’ll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook!
(The screens change once again, this time to show Ursula holding her conch shell necklace out, as she laughs and a yellow dot flying into it. Then it shows her face.)
Ursula: To belong… to me!
(Then the mist screens show Ursula smiling as she grunts, then her flying up into the air, twirling her tentacles around.)
Ursula: To obey my every wish!
(Finally, it shows the mist screens changing to reveal her face.)
Ursula: Well done! Let’s do it!
(Ursula’s eyes change to that of yellow eye slits, and the mist screens reveal it’s a shadowed version of Oogie Boogie.)
Oogie Boogie: Now let’s take down Mickey Mouse and make sure it’s a quick one!
(Oogie laughs as the mist screens disappear and a giant version of him appears from the island stage. Smoke is pouring from his mouth.)
Oogie Boogie: Well well well, what have we here? Mickey, huh? Ooh, I’m really scared! So he’s the one everybody’s been talking about!
(Just then, three projected spiders appear near Oogie.)
Oogie Boogie: Well if I’m feeling antsy and there’s nothin’ much to do, I might just cook a special batch of snake and spider stew! And don’t you know the one thing that would make it work so nice? A roly-poly imagination to add a little spice!
Spider #1: Woah-oh!
Oogie Boogie: Woah-oh!
Spider #2: Woah-oh!
Oogie Boogie: Oh woah!
Spider #3: Woah-oh!
Oogie Boogie: I’m the Oogie Boogie man!
(The giant Oogie on the island stage disappears, and now the mist screen shows his yellow eyes slits become yellow eyes with black pupils, cueing the entrance of Hades, who has now set himself on fire and has turned red.)
Hades: HADES RULES! (As he turns back to being his usual self) Okay, okay. I’m cool. I’m fine!
(Just then, he appears on the mist screens sitting down.)
Hades: That little rodent’s thoughts are all so noble!
(Then the mist screens show his face.)
Hades: Oh, you’ll love this! (As his face disappears) One more thing!
(Just then, his eyes turn into that of Chernabog’s. Soon, his entire face is visible as Night on Bald Mountain plays in the background. The mist screens change to show Chernabog on top of his mountain, where he then makes an evil position. The mist screens change once again to show ghosts rising from their graves, before changing back to Chernabog.)
(The mist screens change to show several ghosts flying through the air. One ghost goes from black to white and finally to black. After this, we see Chernabog on top of his mountain again. He looks as the ghosts move around him. The music then changes as ghostly voices shout as three ghost heads zoom straight towards the mist sceens.)
(The mist screens change once again to show Chernabog, this time looking from his mountain. He waves his hand, and an orange light engulfs the stage.)
(The orange light clears to show that on the island stage is Mickey in his ‘Brave Little Tailor’ outfit being terrified, with Maleficent facing him directly.)
Maleficent: Now you will deal with me and all the powers of… MY IMAGINATION!
Mickey Mouse: Oh no!
(Maleficent waves her staff at him, causing Mickey to run away. Just then, she waves her staff again, this time, she grows in size at an alarming rate, until she finally stops at about thirty feet tall. The stage darkens, and the mist screens come on, showing Maleficent has transformed into a giant purple dragon. The mist screens then change to show the dragon at a different view, before they change once again to the dragon blowing fire, hitting the lake on the mist screens only. The mist screens show the Witch on an orange background, as she laughs.)
The Witch: Imagination!
(Just then, the mist screens change again to show Ursula laughing, then to Oogie Boogie laughing.)
Oogie Boogie: There’s no escape THIS TIME!
(The mist screens change to reveal Hades laughing.)
Hades: Oh yeah!
(The mist screens change again to show Chernabog surrounded by flames, before he grunts and his body is highlighted. The mist screens change to show Dragon Maleficent standing on a rock, surrounded by flames, before the animated flames block the view. The mist screens clear to show the Dragon as a puppet, moving it’s mouth about as it laughs, with steam pouring out of it. The dragon then blows fire onto the lake, creating an island of terror around Mickey.)
(Mickey looks around in terror, before he sees something on the ground and picks it up. He is holding a sword and with it, he walks towards the Dragon puppet.)
Mickey Mouse: Huh, you make think you’re so powerful, well uh, this is my dream!
(The sword shoots sparks out of it and they hit the dragon puppet, causing it to ready its head to striaghten up, as the stage darkens.)
(Just then, the Dragon puppet on stage begins to have bursts of blue electricity appear around its main body, as Maleficent’s dragon form screams for help.)
Dragon Maleficent: No! No! Oh no! NO!
(The stage darkens as the mist screens come on to show Maleficent in her usual form holding her staff high into the air as she is being attacked by blue electricity.)
Maleficent: IMPOSSIBLE!
(She turns back into her dragon form, and the mist screens change to show Chernabog groaning in fear as he has the blue electricity around him. It then flashes to show Hades setting himself on fire and crying in anger, as the blue electricity surrounds him.)
Hades: NO WAY!
(The mist screens flash again to show Oogie Boogie, being attacked by the blue electricity.)
Oogie Boogie: What have you done?
(The mist screens flash again to show Ursula being attacked by the blue electricity, as her skeleton flashes underneath her skin, before going back to normal as she screams in pain. The mist screens flash again to show the Witch in fear.)
The Witch: No! NO!
(Then the mist screens flash to show the Witch turning back into the Evil Queen, before they flash one last time to show Maleficent’s dragon form landing onto the rocks and exploding in a flash of light, with fireworks on cue on the island stage.)
(The fireworks sprinkle to the ground, and on the mist screens, pixie dust swirls around the area. Tinkerbell flies into the mist screens and then brings back good in a giant flash of light, which causes several blue dots on the island stage to swirl around the area, going from several different colours and at different speeds.)
(They stop when a replica of the Steamboat Willie comes into the island lake. A big flash of smoke occurs on the helm of the boat, with Mickey appearing in his famous “Steamboat Willie” outfit. On the decks of the boat are several different Disney characters, waving little flags to celebrate their hero Mickey.)
“Imagination” Singer: Sleep with your mind and you will find, your imagination. Mysteries and magic, visions fantastic, leads to strange and wondrous dreams! Dreams of make-believe, but they all come true!
(The boat continues going around the lake at this point, with the water jets from the beginning in the background.)
“Imagination” Singer: (Hold on note) Ahhhhh… your imagination! Ahhhhh… your imagination! Here in your mind, magic you’ll find, while here on the night, voices ignite, to fill you with might! Use your might to fight with the light to create a night of wondrous dreams!
(As the singer sings this, next to the water jets, cart wheels shoot out sparks that change to different colours. This stops after a while, and on top of a nearby rock, Mickey appears in his ‘Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ clothing, with long thin lights next to him, and he creates an endless amount of fireworks that keep coming. As the music reaches it’s high point, he disappears from the nearby rock.)
(He suddenly reappears on the island stage. He is now back in his shiny tuxedo from the beginning.)
Mickey Mouse: Some imagination, huh?
(He disappears from the island stage as one final blast of fireworks and light, before everything stops and the lake is quiet once again.)
