The show, which has run on the Rivers of America since 1992, is overdue to be refreshed.
I cannot imagine that Disneyland would abandon the Fantasmic brand, given the love that so many fans have developed for it over the years. But Disneyland has made many changes to the show over that time.
The whole “Mickey’s imagination” conceit is a pretty flimsy excuse to provide the roll call of scenes from various Disney IP that compose most Disneyland spectaculars. A “Fantasmic -Reimagined!” could keep the brand name and the spirit of the original production while providing the fresh scenes and effects that would satisfy Disneyland fans hungry for something new.
Finding the right balance between the excitement of innovation and the comfort of nostalgia is the ongoing challenge for the creative minds that run Disneyland and other theme parks. But with Fantasmic, I think Murphy’s fiery demise might be a sign that it is time to lean a little harder toward the innovation side for the show’s return.
