SD - Fantasmic (1992) - Disneyland - Multicam - 1st Year - Best Quality 

Thank you for this amazing quality! My mom is the original Evil Queen from 1992 and im posting this all around today for the grand re opening since the Queen isn't returning!

This quality is amazing for the first showing of Disneyland's Fantasmic! I love the show and I think that this version is showing us how the show originally used to go on. Now, there's more elements in the show that make it much more magical and more immersive than it did when it premiered, but it still has the one story that makes us wanting to see it over and over again no matter our age, still awesome as it was back when it debuted. AWESOME VIDEO

Coming back and watching this now, it's funny to see the flickering of the film they used for the mist screens; I've become so attuned to the HD projection nowadays.

This is quite good footage for something that long ago. Show must have been revolutionary when it premiered. First few minutes of soundtrack and narration seem similar to that still used in Florida.

Wow this is INCREDIBLE! Truly the best out here and I felt like I was really there in 1992! Beautiful! Thanks!!!

You sir...are the one of the major founding fathers of retro Disney Parks videos. I salute you!

I guess it's only because I'm old, but I prefer this to the shiny, new 2017 version. This was still my Disneyland.

I love all the sparkly dresses

Boy, it’s really weird to see Brer Fox and the Big Bad Wolf celebrate with the heroes at the end

Oh god! The dragon looks weird compared to the newer one!😂

The original is 100% better than the new one. This version no new princess, only classics. The new fantastic singer gets on my nerves -_-

The new 2.0 can't hold a candle to what it was like watching it back then. Ya 2.0 is technologically superior but not better.

Who filmed this? We are doing a modern version. It looks like it’s going to take us about 31 times to accurately film it. If anybody wants to be involved jump over to our page and tell us.

I was born 1992...crazy./

who's watching and not waring underware

Imagine the feels the audience went through while watching this back then. Must be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Wow! I never thought I'd see a good video of the 1992 Fantasmic! Thanks for sharing! Not only do you have the best 1992 Fantasmic video, you have the best footage of Ursula. It's amusing to see how the show has changed and even how it's stayed the same. For me, the biggest difference is that the actors exaggerate their movements so much more now; I actually thought Mickey was lacking his usual enthusiasm at the beginning until I realized everyone was more subdued than I'm used to. That change was definitely an improvement. Thanks again for sharing some Disneyland history!

Oh dude I just realized this was a few years before Toy Story, I was looking for Woody and co. in the back of the Mark Twain 😂 Glad to see Roger Rabbit again 😊

Also, let's note the fact that this was probably one of the best Disney night shows ever. Back in the day, there were possibly only two disney night shows. This and the fireworks at magic kingdom. There was no Ilummination of Earth (A.K.A Epcot's Fireworks), no MGM's Fantasmic until 1998, No Star Wars fireworks until 2016, no World of Colors until 2010, and no Animal Kingdom nightime shows until 2017. Hell there wasn't even Animal Kingdom yet. These were pretty much the only nighttime firework show you can see. Not saying its no longer a great hit its still the best, but i can imagine how much extreme attention it had.

Who else is here right after watching the new version?

I do love Rapunzel but I miss Snow White’s float ❤️ reminds me of my childhood, saw this in 1992 when I was 6 and was completely mesmerized. My dad recorded it and I watched it constantly

Who remembers the original dragon from this show before it was replaced and moved to Hollywood studios.

R.I.P. Eddie Carroll, Linda Gary and Wayne Allwine (the voices of Jiminy Cricket, Maleficent and Mickey Mouse). The three of 'em passed away and went up to heaven too soon.

It's so cool to see the old characters on the mark twain boat. Their choreography looked VERY complicated then.

I first saw this in 1995 and I never get tired of it. It has been and remains my favorite show of any Disney park!

I knew it! I knew it! Once I told my mom.. on fantasmic used to be an Ursula’s animatronic/ balloon in the middle of the show.. both my parents told me.. I was imagining.. but I was sure about it! I had 5 or 6 (maybe) the first time we watched.. but still on my mind.. I knew I was right! In 1992 versión the had an Ursula animatronic!

Disneyland would not be Disneyland without this iconic show! Can't wait for its return. Thx for sharing.

wow '92 huh? I had just turned 2

I worked there in 1992 and often had to do 'crowd control' for this great show! Wonderful memories. Thanks for the upload!

currently watching and the childhood nostalgia is so strong as a mid-90s baby 😭😩 the OG Fantasmic! will forever live on in my heart

I remember watching this show a LOOOONG time ago before I was even a teenager. Wasn't there a giant Kaa and giant Ursala that went across the Rivers of America back then? I saw that Kaa was in this video, but not on the water.

This version is SO MUCH BETTER than the new one. I don't like the new female solo singer's voice, but I especially don't like her phrasing. Also the singer in the Little Mermaid song is so much better in this one. The whole soundtrack is better in this one. Also, the new show has a lot of amazing special effects, but it's pretty much all special-effects and nothing else. This one has so much heart. And the quality of the video is amazing from 1992.

My one complaint about this video is that during the Mark Twain boat at the end, the camera stays focus on steamboat Mickey other than looking at the whole boat so we can see what Disney characters were used at the time

This was one of my last performances in Fantasmic before I left......Kaa....Smee......Ursula......Pluto.....whoever took this video was a very good videographer..Thank You for allowing me to be able to share it with my family and friends....Disney was an awesome place to work..I had 8 Magical Years there !!! I'd do it all again!!! Much Love !!!!!!

This may sound silly but honestly one of the best parts of the whole show for me and adds that sense of wonderment that makes the finale even better is the brief appearance of Steamboat Willie Mickey, the one that started it all. Glad that element of Fantasmic has been there since Day 1.

Glad Disney never forgot Dumbo’s acid trip 6:53

Crazy how I'm watching this in 2017, I used to take the show for granted when I was little when they used to show it and now I miss it so much😭😭😭

5:01 the BEST part and it fucking sucks Disneyland took it out for The Lion King.

Who is here in 2020 quarantine time...? I miss Disneyland so much... I love the new Fantasmic show but do miss some of the old things like the whole Evil Queen part.... now she appears as the old lady only and Mickey didn’t talk as much.. now he has more dialogue... I will always love the original more... so many memories with my family... can’t wait to go to Disneyland once it is safe to go...

I was 5 when I got to see this in person. After that I was in love with this show❤

idk why but the princesses & princes look more magical than the ones now

The new version brought me here. I remember seeing this in person back in july 1999 on my first trip ever to DL. I didn't know anything about the show so it really took me by surpirse, it was like nothing I've ever seen in my life. Brings back good feelings. Thanks for sharing!

The Maleficent dragon certainly has come a long way! RIP Murphy

so fantasmic show appeared for the first time in 1992?

roses are red violets are blue why is this recommended for me and you? unoriginal ik

Ursula just loved saying "lets do it!' alot.

Give me the 90s enthusiasm at Disney back. Thank you so much for this upload !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am curious as to how the water projections worked way back in 1992. Did they already have digital projection systems or was it film?

Truly an amazing show. Disneyland would not be Disneyland without Fantasmic. As a kid, it just made you imagine and believe in Magic ! Can not wait to bring my future kids to see Fantasmic 🎆🏰🎆

This version still brings a tear to this old man’s eye. I’m glad it’s still out there in the world. Thanks for a trip back to the good old days.

I got a few questions one:THAT is the best quality especially in 1992 And two:WHERE DID THEY GET THE BUDGET TO MAKE A 19 FOOT ANIMATRONIC DRAGON I mean that was at least 2 decades ago

omg they used to have an Ursula? WHAT?!?! THATS SO COOL! I was born in 1996, and didnt go to Disneyland until 2004-2005. Either I was too young to remember Ursula being in the show, or they may have taken her out by then! LOL

I can hardly believe how great the quality of this 26 year old recording is. Especially the audio is amazing. Thanks for preserving and sharing this!

I was 10 years old when this was shot! Wow! Thanks so much for the nostalgia. I remember how AMAZED we all were at this show (still are). But remember when this technology blew us all away???

People Nowdays: WOOOOO YEEAAHH LETTS GOOOO People Back Then: Claps Respectfully

I’m *so* grateful this video exists. This was from a time when Disneyland was still magical, their employees and heads of department CARED about the impressions they left with their guests and they worked OVERTIME to make sure that their productions were absolutely TOP NOTCH, and invested the time and money into proper care and regular maintenance of the show and its effects. Unfortunately, though I don’t think that they’ll ever announce it to the public - the budget cuts and lack of care/maintenance is probably what lead to the modern day version of the dragon (2023) going up in flames and traumatizing their audience. THANK YOU for keeping the magic alive with this video. It is a treasured and cherished recording of a bygone era.

Thank you for uploading this. I was Snow White and I am sadden to see they removed her float today and I think replaced it with Tangled. Thank you for capturing this classic moment in time.

This is frickin’ amazing quality for being footage from 1992!! 😱😍

I knew there were more scenes on the water projectors that were removed!!!

The Ursula float/puppet looks even more like Divine than the animated Ursula. Haha

He's some rare footage of Fantasmic reverse angle. It's dark in the beginning but picks up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vw_0H6cmtwk.html

Such a good show. I do think it's better than the 2024 version, not that it's bad, it just misses the marks that the 1992 version hit so well. IMO.

The new virson is ok I saw the old virson in person and iiked it a lot more

Imagine the feelings people felt seeing this on opening day. Since I was born in 94, I never got to experience opening day, but I do remember seeing it with my family for the first time in 99 when I was five. I was amazed by everything in the show. At that age, I thought the Disney magic was all real.

昔も、いいですね(≧∇≦)b 少し仕組みがバレていますが...

Interesting to see Fantasmic before Aladdin, The Lion King, and Hunchback of Notre Dame came out.

My family would take a road trip from Utah to SoCal about every other summer growing up. My uncle lives in San Diego, which has no shortage of fun things to do, but heading up to the I-5 to Disneyland was always the pinnacle of the trip. I have thousands of wonderful Disneyland memories, but I will never forget how overwhelmed I was the first time I saw Fantasmic in 1992 as a twelve-year-old. It was on our last night at the park, and it was the perfect way to wrap up 2 days at the happiest place on earth. Watching this video brought back a swarm of memories, thank you so much for sharing!!

THIS. IS . INCREDIBLE!!!!!

By far one of the best sound systems ever put together just for this show in 92. Sounds so good! I believe they kept most of it but I’m not sure. Meyer Sound and d&b audiotechnik

I wish Walt Disney himself got to live to see this show and all the renaissance movies. If I had that Waverider from "Legends of Tommorrow", I'd go back in time and try to stop him from ever smoking and show him all the great movies, shows, and attractions that were made after he died.

Damn steamboat willie was popping back then lmao! Did you see all the characters on that boat?!?! They didn’t even have space to walk lol! They even included the damn jazz players from the pre show up on top! Hahaha! 😂 for me the noticeable changes were the female solo voice which was the best of course... 2017 female sounds like she’s about to lose her breath, no Tiana Woody, Buzz, Jessie, or army man at the end on the boat, and that Ursula float... I honestly did not remember that! It did look pretty unrealistic so I understand why the removed it. Oh and the dragon had long drapes lol. Oh and I don’t know if it’s me... but I could have sworn there were people waving sparkling fiber optics tinsel pompoms like the kind the fairies have in paint the night before steam boat willie came around the corner... 🤔 I’m not sure but I thought that use to happen. I dunno, I could be wrong.

God the differences between then and now. But the original version is still really good.

I thank goodness people like you had the foresight to record such incredible things. I remember the crocodile chasing Hook, Ursula and that dragon. I watched the show multiple times with my boys from the Disney Gallery balcony one time bringing my parents knowing they would enjoy the show, but were unable to endure the milling crowds below. Now, as an old man, I sit and watch this with tears streaming from my eyes at the fond memories.

thank you so much for sharing this and bringing my childhood back to me. Disneyland and these shows mean everything to me and its nice to be able to look back at it before it changed, and when i was a kid. my dad always made sure we watched all the shows, and now as i get older and my dad is now about to turn 70 and i realize he wont always be around... things like this will always remind me of him and the amazing disney filled childhood he provided for me. i try to keep the traditions going with my kids now. thank you for this.

I never knew The Beast had a huge hump on his back. I guess that's where the performer's head is.

More like a birthday present for me because you uploaded this video on my birthday

why does this look so much better than it does today in 2023

Super cool i love old shows from the 90s even fantasmick

Roger rabbit on the steamboat iconic

They used the same soundtrack for the intro? Until now the voices still sounds amazing 😍😍

30 years later

I miss the fireworks during the Sorcerer's apprentice portion.

Ah memories!😊

i thought ide never find the old one

Saw this version when I was about five when Ursula comes out I remember I freaked out LOL

Idk how I feel about the new rendition of fantasmic

I'll always have a heart with the classic, but I do really like the updated one. People are just scared of changes.

I have such fond memories of experiencing this circa late 96/97ish from the desert party above pirates. I’m a WDW person but this put land on the radar besides the obvious for me. Nothing and I mean nothing will come close to OG Anaheim Fantasmic. Ok. Reflections of earth is neck and neck but they do tie each other. Just absolute class, perfection and Disney Magic.

Genuinely don’t know which version I like more between this one (and by extension the newer variant from 2009 (i think?)) and the 2017-present one. On one hand, you have the version that started it all and the one that’s most iconic, but also one that has a lot to iron out (some of that was fixed in ‘09). On the OTHER hand, you have a version that doesn’t have a lot new going for it, but there’s just enough enhancement to say it’s on par with, if not better, than the original. Though a major downgrade on this hand is the loss of Murphy, hopefully they’re working on a new animatronic for him.

Thanks for posting.... call me crazy but I bought a Disneyland Annual pass in 1992.... I would drive down from San Francisco about twice a month to watch this.... front row.... Disney was so magical then,,,,

I wish they could use the same amount of fireworks for the finale as they did in this version. I get that disneyland can’t have as many big ones legally, but I don’t understand why they only have like two or three pyro shots go off during the grand finale now 🤷🏻‍♀️. It makes it kind of underwhelming (I still love the show as a whole though)

I was 2 so this looks awesome.

Unpopular opinion: I'm not a complete fan of the newest version of it... 🙄.. the older versions feel nostalgic and very magical.. projection mapping isn't necessarily needed on everything..

Feels kind of funny seeing Chip & Dale and Roger Rabbit at the bow of the ship instead of the Toy Story characters!

The Fantasmic where Mickey battles the Maleficent from Disneyland and Disney World were swap

To think this is one of the only remaining attractions from that time now.

I thought Fantasmic debut at disneyland was in 2018 or 2019

Thank you for sharing! Nothing compares to this version!
