Here is my Fantasmic!!... What do you think??? I reworked it a bit... form the original line up... The bold and unbold show the seperations of teh scenes... sort of...
Announcer Gal: Welcome to Fantasmic! Tonight, our friend and host Mickey Mouse uses his vivid imagination to create magical imagery for all to enjoy. Nothing is more wonderful than the imagination, for in a moment, you can experience a beautiful fantasy or an exciting adventure. But beware, nothing is more powerful than the imagination, for it can also expand your greatest fears into an overwhelming nightmare. Are the powers of Mickey's imagination strong enough, and bright enough, to withstand the evil forces that invade Mickey's dreams? You are about to find out. For we now invite you to join Mickey, and experience Fantasmic! A journey beyond your wildest imagination.
All is dark. A dim musical note hums, getting louder and louder and louder by the second. Heavenly voices sing while several towers rise from within the stage, flashing spinning spotlights throughout the audience:
IMAGINATION, IMAGINATION...
DREAM A FANTASTIC DREAM...
USE YOUR IMAGINATION!
Spotlights point to Mickey who has suddenly appeared on the stage, dancing about to the triumphant music, conducting beautiful fountains to rise from beneath the water and out towards the sky. After several fountains Mickey climbs to the highest point of the stage and blasts colorful streams of fireworks from his fingers, both of which point towards the sky. The stage darkens and wizard Mickey appears on both the screens present on both sides of the stage, conducting water as he did in Fantasia. Music from the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" plays as Mickey conducts the waves, small fireworks blasting into the sky. At the conclusion of Mickey's water ballet, one large firework erupts into the sky covering the theater in a blanket of temporary smoke.
As the music calms, projections of beautiful flowers appear on the screens, blooming in many different colors. Beautiful flowers bloom upon the stage as well. All the while a woman sings the glories of imagination:
See it...in your mind...and you can find...in your imagination...mysteries and magic, visions fantastic, leading to strange and wonderous dreams.
As the last flower blooms it suddenly dies and darkens, the music changing into an erie exotic tune with it. An eerie fog rolls across the river, giving the sense that we have entered a dark jungle in the farthest reaches of the world. Wild animals cry out in the distance. A stream of bongos begin to play, suddenly broken by a gong. The water screens stay up and show bright jungle colors and project images of trees and two elephants dance off to the side of the stage, while tiki-adorned rafts float around the stage, filled with dancing neon monkeys, one raft host to King Louie, another host to Baloo the bear. As the jungle heats up, the music grows more and more intense. The monkey rafts float away there is a sudden song change to “Cant Wait to be King” and on the stage, the giant mountain seems to be transformed into a giant animal pile like from the movie. On top of the pile is Nala and Simba singing the song… The screens go back up and show the projection of Simba (like in Mickey’s Philharmagic) finishing the song. The lights go out a the end of the song (with the final elephant noise).
After the short period of darkness… you hear:
LOOKOUT, LOOKOUT!
OW!
PACHYDERM!
(Elephant Cry)
THEY'RE HERE, THEY'RE THERE, OH NO, LOOKOUT, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
Then on stage you see several black light Pink Elephants (like in WDSP’s Animaique)… While they are dancing you hear the “Pink Elephants on Parade”… At the end of this performance… the screens quickly shoot up again and the classic beginning of “Second Star to the Right” begins with the dun-duna… Then you have a projection of Big Ben on the screens and Peter Pan, Wendy, and the Darling Boys fly from behind you and fly above the audience, they then fly above the river and dart behind the screens to finish the song…
The screens go down to reveal the Pinocchio Puppet sequence… Pinocchio is in the middle with the two showgirls next to him. The three puppets dance to an instrumental version of "I Got No Strings" and the can can, along with spinning firework pinwheels. At the end of the scene a lush instrumental of "When You Wish Upon a Star" fills the air as giant bubbles fill the screens and real bubbles fill the theater. As each bubble passes we see twenty-five memorable moments from Disney films, those films being:
1. Snow White being awoken by her prince.
2. Quasimodo singing from the walls of the Notre Dame cathedral.
3. Pocahontas and John Smith running through the forest.

Aladdin and Jasmine fly above the audience on a magic carpet, while Snow White and her prince, Aurora and Philip, Cinderella and Prince Charming sail by on rafts decorated with glowing flower arrangements while Belle and the Beast waltz on the stage in a lavish ballroom. Fountains dance to symbolize the love in the air.
Female: See it...in your mind...and you can find...in your imagination...tales of enchantment, beauty and romance, happily ever after.
Male: Tale as old as time...true as it could be...barely even friends, then somebody bends, unexpectedly...certain as the sun...rising in the East
Female and Male: Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, beauty and the beast.
Female: A whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew.
Male and Female: But when we're way up here, it's crystal clear, and now I'm in a whole new world with you!
Female: Someday my prince will come!
Male and Female: Someday we'll find true love!
Female: Tale as old as time...
Male: Song as old as rhyme...
Once the barges pass and head backstage, the lights dim and the screens rise up with colorful images of under the sea with coral and such… Then the classic tune of “Under the Sea” begins to play… A smaller barge comes out with an AA Sebastian on it starting to sing…. The barge moves around the river, in circles and such around mostly in the middle of the river. Then a smaller float with Ariel on it comes out and “dances” around the river…. On the screen are the fish dancing… and some aerialist performers dance above the river and audience… Near the end of the song, the barges and dancers begin to leave… With the end of the song the screen changes to a darker and more mysterious sea/ocean. You hear:
Jiminy Cricket: Pinocchio! We're down here!
As bubbles continue to fill the screens and the theater we find several of Disney's underwater creatures, including Sebastian and Flounder on the screens, and Nemo, Marlin, and Dory puppets "swimming" by on rafts. A school of trout swim across the screens, accidentally awakening Monstro who glares at them with one eye. The music quickly changes to a "Jaws" like theme as Monstro attacks the fish, Jiminy, and presumably Mickey. Huge waves and splashes fly out towards the audience as the great whale attacks. A huge whirlpool consumes the screens as well as Mickey whom shouts out for help. Stressful violin chords cry out as all goes dark. Mickey's frightened eyes appear on the screens looking about. Giant splashes appear on the river… With giant waves and such… a “splash” machine moves across the river to seem like Monstro is splashing people… The screens go down… and you see GIANT waves around the stage…
On the stage you see Captain Nemo and Crew and on the left of the stage you see giant tentacles coming out of the water swishing at the crew… While Captain Nemo and crew try to protect there selves… This scene is only on a few moments then the water screens rise up again…
On the screen are pictures of a little garden with may roses…. The screens lower again and you see the Queen of Hearts dancing around the stage with her cards…. She sings and dances…”Painting the Roses Red”.. Mickey appears on stage… and he messes her up…
Queen of Hearts: (yells) Off with his head..
The cards chase Mickey off stage… and the screen appears again…
On the screen is the Evil Queen’s Magic Mirror…. The voice of Snow White's evil stepmother fills the air.
Evil Queen: Slave in the magic mirror...come from the farthest space...through wind and darkness I summon thee...speak! Let me see thy face!
Thunder and lightning crash, the queen appears on the stage dancing around her cauldron.
Slave: Famed is thy beauty majesty, but hold; Lovelier maids I see, and hear, in Mickey's imagination. Beauty and love will always survive.
Queen: No! (With several chords of dramatic music, the queen rushes to her cauldron, conjuring up a wicked spell as evident by the green smoke erupting from within) A magic spell in the black of night, with a scream of fright...(Woman screams) and a bolt of light (Huge yellow firework shot up) turn my hair to white! (Dramatic chords of music, followed by several green fireworks. Each firework makes the shape of a distressed face. With an explosion of smoke and several orange fireworks there is an evil cackle, followed by the sudden appearance of the queen's evil hag form)
Hag: Now, I'll turn that little mouse's dream into a nightmare Fantasmic! Imagine this...(Laughs) Magic mirror on the wall, to all the forces of evil I call (Laughs)!
Slave: You have the power, to control...
The hag disappears and reappears briefly in the mirror, quickly replaced by Ursula.
Hag and Ursula: His mind! (Laugh)
Ursula: Oh yes, how exciting! Let's do it!
Ursula laughs as she appears on her barge and floats around the river dancing about as she sings a new rendition of "Poor Unfortunate Souls." Two giant Floatsem and Jetsem puppets swim around the waters as she laments. (One comes from each side of the stage)
Ursula: Hello...I admit that in the past I've been a nasty. They weren't kidding when they called me well a witch! Beluga Sevruga indeed! Ursula will take matters into her own tentacles! Ha! How nice! Mickey Mouse's mind...will be mine! And then I'll make him writhe...I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook! (Laughs) To belong...to me...to obey my every whim! Why not? Let's do it!
With a puff of smoke, and darkness, the barges quickly leave the river and the screens lower to reveal an AA Scar atop of the mountain singing “Be Prepared”…
Scar: Now it is my turn to rule over the Prideland…
Over the mountain, and some on the stage are a few AA Hyenas singing along… Throughout the show green flames come out from around Scar… and the water catches fire… The screens rise up and show Scar hanging over the edge of the cliff about to kill Mufasa….
The screens lower to reveal Mickey and Maleficent on the stage…
Maleficent: Now you have to deal with the powers of our imagination!!! Chernabog!!
Mickey: Oh no!
Red and orange fireworks blast into the air as Maleficent disappears in an explosion of smoke. The evil fairy cackles as flames devour the waters and the stage.
Suddenly the Queen appears on the screen cackling:
Hag: Imagine this!!
The hag cackles, followed by Ursula, Scar, and Queen of Hearts all laughing. Following Queen of Hearts the faces of numerous Disney villains scroll down on the screens, those villains including Cruella Da Ville, Jafar, Hades, Frollo, Gaston, the Hyenas, Shere Khan, Kaa, the Siamese Cats, the Cheshire Cat, Hopper, Madame Mim, Madame Medusa, Governor Ratcliffe, Brer Fox, Zurg, Stinky Pete, Captain Hook, the Phantom Blot, Judge Doom, Clayton, Syndrome, and Ratigan, all of them laughing. Chernabog breaks up the celebration of evil by roaring. The screens lower to reveal the mountain has turned into a giant Chernabog…
Mickey appears on stage, in his Sorcerer costume…
Mickey: You may think you are so powerful… but this is my dream!!!
Mickey pulls out the sword from the stone to the right of him… he holds it toward CHernabog and a BEAM of BRIGHT WHITE light hits him in the eye…
Chernabog: NOOoOOO!!!
Chernabog appears on the scream retracting from the light and screaming, followed by a screaming, Jafar and Ursula screaming and falling, and the old hag turning back into the evil queen, both screaming. The Maleficent dragon soon appears on the screens, exploding into thousands of brilliant colors, the entire theater dark.
The screen dims and Mickey (back in normal clothes) dances around with the fountains around the stage to put out the fire…
The screens reappear and theater becomes bright with colors and the screens reveal Happy Disney Endings…
1. Snow White and Prince walking off into the sunset
2. Simba becoming king
3. The Darling children getting to Neverland
4. Bolt finding Penny
5. Prince Edward marrying

At the end of the medley, Tinkerbell comes from behind the mountain and flies above the audience… while Flora, Fauna, Merrywhether, the Blue Fairy, and Fairy Godmother are on the screens spreading the magic... After flying above the audience, TInkerbell goes behind the screen, and goes onto the screen… she hops from screen to screen spreading pixie dust and lighting up the theater…
The screens go down again and the lights fully are up and Steamboat Willie boat comes from the left of the stage and circles the stage… having many Disney characters on it… Also on the stage are more characters waving ribbons and dancing and having fun… After the boat passes Dumbo flies from behind the mountain to above the audience (on a zipline)… All the characters on the stage leave as Dumbo passes to the audience…
Sorcerer Mickey appears on the top of the mountain now… and plays with the fountains and such and colorful lights…. Dancing brooms come on stage (about 6)… They have buckets of water…
Mickey: Some Imagination??? Huh!
On that last note of huh! The brooms release the water… and fountains spray, and fireworks release... and Mickey has disappeared from the top of the mountain…
