I now have my show planned out, more of less, for the Fantasyland Theatre in my Magic Kingdom park; Mickey's Magic Book, which will be a somewhat modified version of Le Livre Magique de Mickey that ran at Disneyland Paris from 1992-1997. In fact anyone's not familar with this show, it involved Mickey opening a giant storybook which opened into various Disney fairtytale cartoon acts; more specifically Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty!
However, there will be a few differences. Other than obviously using English instead of French, this show will have all of the "Big 5" (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto) instead of just Mickey in the opening segment, and bumpers in between each fairytale act! Also, I replaced Cinderella with Alice in Wonderland, since Cinderella has storytelling duties in Fairytale Gardens nearby! Like Le Livre Magique de Mickey, Mickey's Magic Book will be broken up into three main segments, each telling a different story, with three different sets of characters. Here is what I have so far:
The opening segment will feature 4 of "Big 5" (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy), and a bit comical opening at that! Eventually, each of them tries to open the book, but with no success! Then Pluto runs in from backstage frantically with Mickey's Sorcerer hat and cape! With that, Mickey realizes that magic is needed to open up the book and start the show, so he puts on his hat and cape, and magically opens the book, which starts our show!
(In between acts, Mickey and the gang return in "bumpers" to separate each act, and offer a little more fun and humor with the "Big 5"!)
Act 1: Snow White
Act 2: Alice in Wonderland
Act 3: Sleeping Beauty
I moved Snow White from Act 2 to Act 1, since Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are quite similar stories, as well as being Princess/Royalty-type fairytales. Since Alice in Wonderland is VERY different from the other two stories, I placed it in between as Act 2.
Finally, we have the grand finale, with all the characters together like in Le Livre Magique de Mickey had at Disneyland Paris' show!
If anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post! :xmas:
