I'm glad this is up with the raw audio. News channels are reporting panic and screams from the crowd when this happened, yet in this video there is clearly no screaming crowd, no panic at all. In fact what I notice is people laughing and stopping to record videos
My son and I were there the VIP section behind us. Great teens screaming like someone was stabbing them. There was no need for that, and of course the CMs were having a hard time getting ppl to evacuate.
And all the Devils around the world were screaming like the wicked witch that got splashed with water at the end of the wizard of Oz because they know the symbolic meaning of the death of "the dragon". Jesus is Lord! +
Due to Unforeseen Circumstances, this performance of Fantasmic is WAY more *flametastic* than anticipated. I’m SO sorry, but I had to make the joke. 💀😅
"Due to unforeseen circumstances", crowd laughs due to the obvious. Statement of "this performance can not continue" crowd thinking are you kidding, the show is just starting. Laughs aside, it is unfortunate she was lost, and a toast to always awesome cast members. The scene was eerily reminiscent of the movie.
The pre-recorded voice was pretty hilarious, but then watching the whole model get lost to the fire was genuinely sad. Whole teams worked so hard on that amazing effect; it's a shame to see it destroyed like that. I hope it can be replaced soon.
@@zakuraRabbit I understood that, and it's probably helpful for people to hear someone speaking in a calm tone when something decidedly un-calm is happening in front of them. I just thought the contrast of the sound and the image was funny
There is something about the banjo music accompanying the ginormous tower of fire that I find almost comedic. That was one heck of a fire. So glad nobody was hurt. The staff worked well under pressure and thankfully the crowd didn't act like idiots. In MANY cases people panicking are 10 times more dangerous than whatever they are fleeing from. Heard a little kid on the video worrying about Mickey Mouse and their mother reassuring her Mickey Mouse is fine.
@@JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ1234 Yeah that's what I'm thinking, he ends getting fired for disregarding company policies. Was he trained to use the fire extinguisher? Yeah sounds silly/stupid but it's a thing, hell I was told not to put out a fire using a fire extinguisher at work unless I have been trained to use it... and this is at a school, although my boss gave the wink and a nod and said "but if you happen to do it for a small fire like in a trash can or something no one is going to write you up"
Yeah no kidding that is so bad!!! I can't believe that happened that normally will never ever happen that is so surprising that that actually happened!
It is crazy that the fire started right at Maleficent's death scene. As the fire started spreading, you can hear Maleficent screaming before they cut the sound.
1:45 Can we talk about the fact that the Disneyland cast members had a plan to evacuate to Adventureland and had people executing it calmly in under TWO minutes from the fire starting? They have serious organizational skills.
The cost of this incident is the water because electricity through water can damage the wires and might catch on fire. This is pretty odd how it happened twice.
I was on Splash Mountain while it was burning and it was so goofy to see a massive pillar of fire and smoke and go around the corner and hear animatronic animals singing "Zippity do da"
As a former Disneyland cast member, people don’t know the massive man power behind this and the other theme parks that help keep the magic alive! There is always so much going on behind and on stage to make sure visitors are happy and safe at the parks. Make sure you are nice to these people as they work really hard while dealing with a busy schedule and lack of recognition for all the time and effort put in. Just be nice to them as they are just humans trying to make a living and do their best they can! ❤❤❤
I mean something is always going to happen in a performance no matter how much checks and perfections there are. This was just something that was eventually going to happen one way or another
if i had a nickel for every time a maleficent dragon animatronic caught on fire i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
I was there for this. We were at a railing near French Market. Everyone was very calm and when they evacuated us from the viewing area we were able to ride Splash Mountain right away, but when we got off the ride the whole land was closed and we were directed to Galaxy's Edge. We passed dozens of cast members and managers that were apparently being summoned to ROA from around the park. I'm glad no one was hurt and nothing else caught fire. It was an amazing thing to behold.
My grandma read the news and told me, my legitimate reaction was: “again?” (Because of the other time maleficent’s dragon caught on fire in disneyworld during the parade). This looks extreme, the whole dragon caught on fire, and they’re even calling everyone out of the stage. Glad everyone is okay thankfully.
Mickey: um Murphy? Murphy: what? is there something on my face? Mickey: when did you catch on fire? Is that new for the show? Murphy: Mickey, where are you talking abo- OH MY GOD I’M ON FIRE
I really hope this doesn't mean the end of Murphy because it is probably the most impressive animatronic Disney has ever built. The theme park experience is not the same without Fantasmic
Disney didn't build it, it was a Garner Holt Productions build (they make all of the modern Animatronics for Disney.) They're local to Disneyland, I'm sure they'll get started on a replacement soon.
yeah but considering how much it may cost and how Disney is messing things up, they may see this as buisness and say no and just close Fantasmic. Maybe even revamp it entirely since they’re gonna see it as a dated show.
It was also on the news in Japan. "Fantasmic" is no longer being performed at Tokyo Disney Resort, so I wanted to go to America to see it, but I'm shocked 😭
Maleficent can’t keep her dragons from bursting into flames…might want to look into that. Props to the cast members keeping calm and trying to get everyone out safely. Also give the cast member on stage a raise. He deserves it. Might want to keep the Maleficent dragons away from fire and make a vent system for overheating.
Uh, this is a pretty impressive 'show' of its own. I know that the prop was destroyed and will have to be replaced, but that's an amazing sight to see. I mean, dragons make fire, and that was a pretty spectacular fire.
@@Merryianna Ikr? you can hear Maleficent's screams of death as well as some of the other villains screaming right before they cut the show audio. Some people even thought it was part fo the show.
Well I certainly didn't expect to see a dragon catching fire twice at a Disney park. I hope everyone is safe and props to the cast members who kept the fire from spreading on the stage! RIP Murphy
@@cynthiaortiz9999 The Festival of Fantasy parade dragon float at Disney World caught fire a few years ago, although only its head burned and they were able to put it out with a fire extinguisher. So Murphy's death was a bit uhmm... more spectacular 😅
@@NickPopovich16 It wasn't Murphy, but it was the Maleficent dragon float at the Disney World parade (not sure if that dragon has a nickname). It happened in May 2018. The dragon float returned in early 2019. You can find videos of it on RUclips. Search for 'Disney World dragon float fire' and you'll find videos of the accident. It wasn't nearly as severe as Murphy burning down though.
Well, for all those dancing fountains of water and exploding pyrotechics were programmed to do in that half-hour show, the _one thing_ they were unprepared for was the possibility that they might need to turn the fountains towards the stage.
@@fourlittlebirds6166 Yep, I am not a firefighter but even I know that electrical fires or fuel fires require a special type of fire retardant and not just plain water.
Oh my gosh I was hearing about this all day but I didn’t get to look into it until now. I thought it was a small fire on the head that was easy to shut down I never expected this. That’s awful but I’m so glad to hear the Mickey cast member was safe that’s what I was most concerned about
The worst part is that since it had to shoot some flames to begin with, it had gas inside and the tube holding it broke and you can see it all (thankfully) shoot strait down and not hit anyone.
Ok, for real, at 0:31, after all that hydraulic fluid fell down in flames, her mouth opens because it no longer has anything holding it closed. I don't know why, but that's just super creepy to me.
I can imagine how Mickey must have felt when he looked away for few seconds to build up his magic and as soon as he turns back to shoot it, the dragons head is on fire.
I went to Disneyland and saw this show a couple weeks ago, glad to have been before the fire. I hope they get this amazing show up and running again as soon as possible.
My God the dragon actually sound like it was in pain when it caught on fire screaming "Oh NO! Oh NO!" Keep in mind the line is actually pre-recorded because that's when the villains are scripted to be defeated but not with actual fire all over the dragon
I literally couldn't sleep last night because I kept hearing that over and over in my head. So glad my youngest was already asleep because she 100% would've been traumatized.
I’m just glad that Mickey got outta there. I hope Reedy Creek Fire Dept doesn’t have to close down just round the corner from Hollywood Studios. Gotta give Anaheim cast members credit for being professional and keeping crowd calm during the evacuation.
If I remember this correctly, a Fantasmic Dragon in a Disney Parade a few years ago also caught fire...gotta be careful when you have a Dragon as a pet.
I love how for most people, our immediate reaction is that it activates our monkey brain that enjoys big burney fireballs. And then there's a small group of people who's immediate thoughts are "oh no" and "rip murphy"
gotta love that Disney announcement down playing this disaster " due to unforeseen circumstances" every man woman and child can SEE it's a fire! LOL " nothing to see here move along everything's fine, it's all part of the show". " this isn't the fire we're looking for kshh" " move along move along kshh"
Respect for the fantastic camera work! I went the the original media premier with waiters with comp champagne and maybe 200 (maybe) people. That’s the best way I’ve ever seen it. Then later worked a solitary shift helping crowd control about a month in,never again. This one cast member heard giving directions, I feel you buddy, it’s like herding cats! I wonder if the Dream Suit was booked, that view was probably amazing. You’d get to watch the cleanup all night!
Mickey finally had enough of dragons in his dreams lol. But in all seriousness, thankfully no one was hurt. As for the dragon, well it doesn’t seem like it will be coming back anytime soon. Wouldn’t be surprised if comes back for Disneyland’s 70th anniversary.
`Props to the person that turned on the water spray around 9:40. I'm sure the heat coming off that fire was intense. The fan spray of water should help keep the spectator side a little cooler. The guy on stage? he was seriously under equipped with that little fire extinguisher, it did look like he was up wind. I was afraid of the dragon falling over, although with the wind and flame direction it should fall away from him if it falls. I'm guessing lots of plastic there, if it were daylight, I bet the black smoke coming off would have been impressive!
I'm glad this is up with the raw audio. News channels are reporting panic and screams from the crowd when this happened, yet in this video there is clearly no screaming crowd, no panic at all. In fact what I notice is people laughing and stopping to record videos

They’re probably using a stabilizer. Not very common for people to carry around lol
@Na2Ocean i think they mean there are no cuts and its filmed through its entirety
I like how the announcer said "have a great rest of your evening" so calmly while people were witnessing the dragon literally blow up in flames.
Because that announcer doesn’t have feelings due to it being a robot instead of a real person.
It’s also pre-recorded.
It’s “go up”. There was no explosion.

I like the automated announcer, even in different language 😂
The male voice that made the announcement was speaking English. The female one was translating the same announcement in Spanish.
gotta love that Disney announcement down playing this disaster " due to unforeseen circumstances" every man woman and child can SEE it's a fire! LOL " nothing to see here move along everything's fine, it's all part of the show". " this isn't the fire we're looking for kshh" " move along move along kshh"
Respect for the fantastic camera work! I went the the original media premier with waiters with comp champagne and maybe 200 (maybe) people. That’s the best way I’ve ever seen it. Then later worked a solitary shift helping crowd control about a month in,never again. This one cast member heard giving directions, I feel you buddy, it’s like herding cats! I wonder if the Dream Suit was booked, that view was probably amazing. You’d get to watch the cleanup all night!
The lady at 6:46 "Maybe it's part of the show." 😂
Mickey really just casted Firaga and ZettaFlare at the same time on Maleficent 😂
This is so sad. I hope they can replace the dragon. Fantasmic is my favorite show.
They can't they are very poor jk they are Disney and they they will get a new one 123
Ngl, when the fire started as Maleficent was screaming, I was laughing my ass off. The timing was perfect there. 😂
Does anyone else think is weird that Floridas dragon caught fire too? And a building at Disneyland a couple of weeks ago 🧐
Mickey was so powerful that he ignited the animatronic. 💀
Mickey finally had enough of dragons in his dreams lol. But in all seriousness, thankfully no one was hurt. As for the dragon, well it doesn’t seem like it will be coming back anytime soon. Wouldn’t be surprised if comes back for Disneyland’s 70th anniversary.
Pretty much sums up the Walt Disney company under Iger right now.
Perfect metaphor of what Disney is becoming.
Cast member directing everyone to adventureland theN yells WOHHH! when it flames up is perfect
`Props to the person that turned on the water spray around 9:40. I'm sure the heat coming off that fire was intense. The fan spray of water should help keep the spectator side a little cooler. The guy on stage? he was seriously under equipped with that little fire extinguisher, it did look like he was up wind. I was afraid of the dragon falling over, although with the wind and flame direction it should fall away from him if it falls. I'm guessing lots of plastic there, if it were daylight, I bet the black smoke coming off would have been impressive!
The timing of melficent screaming before catching fully on flames is so wild.
Somewhere in one of the Universal theme parks, Felix The Cat and Woody Woodpecker are laughing and enjoying the fireworks.
Wow, Sorcerer Mickey rolled a crit success on that battle.
