Today is October 15th and on this day in 1998 Fatasmic was introduced to Hollywood Studios, previously MGM (my family and I still call it MGM). If you have yet to see this amazing show I highly recommend it. This 26 minute show is located on Sunset Blvd at the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater.
*A little side-note: this show was originally in Disneyland; California Adventures and it started over there in 1992 and the only other Disneyland that has it is, is Disneyland Tokyo*
This show has scenes from The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast, Mulan and even Snow White. Then, the show gets taken over by the infamous villains of these movies and more. Some of the villains that steal the show include: Ursula (The Little Mermaid) , Jafar (The Lion King) , Judge Frollo (Hunchback of Notre Dame) , Hades (Hercules) , Ratcliff (Pocahontas) and Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty). But of course Mickey wins the battle against Maleficent. At the end of the show all of the characters come out and even Steamboat Willie makes an appearance! The boat has all of the characters that appear in the show as well as characters that are rarely seen throughout all four parks such as: Geppetto (Pinocchio) , King Louie (Jungle Book) , Baloo (Jungle Book) , Rafiki (The Lion King) etc.
Here are a few facts because who doesn't love a little bit of facts??
- The show is about 26 minutes from beginning to end.
- In the middle of the amphitheatere there is a a 57.5 foot tall mountain which surrounded by a moat.
- This moat holds up to about 1.9 million gallons of water at one time!
- The depths in the moat vary from around a foot to about 6 feet toward the middle of the mountain.
