The timing was actually perfect. Mickey says "This is my dream," and almost immediately, the fire erupts from the head.
And here I am worried about the cast member playing Mickey Mouse 😟😰
Bike
The whole show is supposed to take place during a night in which he sleeps, right?
@@Angie2343 Yep. Its actually a pretty cool little story. It starts as micky dreams of the Disney stories that we know, but then the villain's come in and turn it into a "nightmare fantasmic", then mickey starts to dream of heroes fighting the villain's, ending with maleficent doing a "I'll do it myself moment". Then when all looks lost, Mickey stands up as its his dream, and conducts water to put out the dragon fire (In Florida Mickey dreams of the sword in the stone so he can pull it and shoot a firework at maleficent).
Then her dragon tits caught on fire for good measure.
Dude, i absolutely adore how mickey stayed in character. His stare when he looked up at the burning dragon, then turning back to the audience in confusion 😂
Can you just imagine if some of the sparks wouls have lit Mickey's costume on fire 2?
He was surprised he defeated Her
It’s been a minute
His day is now
Go Mickey
That would be so traumatic if Mickey costume caught fire too. Yikes. Glad no one was hurt. I can’t imagine the poor person in the dragon animatronic if there was.
I'm just wondering how the person playing Mickey is reacting under costume
As id saying "This isn't part of the script!".
I retired from the DFD (Disneyland Fire Dept) in 2010. I was a Fire Captain in charge of Disney’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) . I can only speak of the fire protection that was on site when I worked there. With all the financial strain on Disney since COVID I’m sure there have been many personnel cuts, maybe even effecting their Fire Protection. Each night there are about 10 Firefighters stationed around the Park to protect the property from Pyro ( fireworks fall out ) . There was 3 fire trucks on property and 1 fire boat. During the Fantasmic show there is a firefighter stationed inside the cabin behind the Dragon. He has access to two fire hoses and fuel shut off. There is also a ERT crew of 4 firefighters in the Park from 6am - 11:30pm sometimes later depending if there is a additional Pyro show. They have access to the fire boat that can reach the island. From what I can see from this video there was a attempt to shoot water on the fire but that was very brief as the fire stream disappeared in about 1 minute. I did not see the Fire Boat deployed. Fire Fighters can reach the island via the barges. I did not see any barges but they could reach the island from the other side of the island. Anaheim Fire Department (AFD )should have been called but who knows if they know how to get to the island unless a DFD firefighter shows them how. Once AFD is on property they will take over the incident.
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it.-budget cuts. (Grew up there, have seen this show many times. Know all about Disney safety. )
Many people have blinders on but Disney is actually in major financial trouble. They have been for some time. Budget cuts and endless price increases have also brought about layoffs. This type of thing scares me because it means that safety checks and maintenance may be being overlooked. Rides are breaking down ALL THE TIME now. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop and to here about a ride malfunction causing a bunch of people to get killed. (As in the case of thunder mountain railroad) it’s only a matter of time.
in your years at DFD, did you ever have to call in the AFD (Anaheim Fire Department to assist DFD with anything?
“Going through life with blinders on, it’s tough to see.“ - Linda Lavin.
The last time I visited Disneyland will be the last time. I got to ride Splash Mountain twice. The second time, the line was over an hour. I wanted to ride a third time after dinner, but it was closed for repairs.
@@fourlittlebirds6166 Disney is in big financial trouble. Their movies the last 2 to 3 years have been seen big losses. The parks seem to be the only profitable business they have, and now even that is showing cracks.
The stage crew member at 2:58 was very lucky he did not get hurt by that massive spray of burning hydraulic fluid..... Hope everybody is safe.
And youre right
On both
Mickey's magic was too strong 😢 RIP Murphy
Mickey really did defeat the dragon in the end!
Facts! I was thinking the same thing. 😢lol 😂
Mickey said just like in South park.. " I killed the Dragon haha, That dragon wont hurt anyone again haha "
Or did the dragon truly go woke
He brought new meaning to the phrase “pyrrhic victory.“
@@robertconover9695 Disney's punishment.
Mickey: “This is my dream!”
Also Mickey: *literally burns Maleficent's dragon while she screams in pain*
Sounds about right
Mickey wins💥🔥
FATALITY
It's very clear that Disney need better fire control systems. It's not as if there is a lack of water there. Amazing they had no way to stop this fire getting much worse. RIP dragon and it's a reminder never mess with that powerful mouse.
Honestly was surprised that they didn't at least turn on the water projector screens to help keep it from spreading a bit? Wow...
Yo hi leo
@@rolfathan I think they did, with how the fire damage in the end was luckily isolated to the animatronic. Though I'd hate to imagine the amount of soot there was to clean from the smoke
Or maybe Mickey had too powerful of an attack and that set the fire in the first place.
I actually knew the real reason why the fire started:
So the animatronic shot the first round of fire and as the next was coming up the mouth stopped moving and it’s head caught fire.
Then in that case, my guess is that the mouth stopped moving because the animatronic was 14 years old.
Kudos to the Cast Members for clearing out the area and keeping everyone safe!!
Hopefully they won't lose THEIR jos as well. Disney's been doing a LOT of cost cutting.
When Mickey told him it was his dream he literally blew his mind.
This is so terrifying. The epic music and suddenly seeing all the fire, the smoke, bits of it falling off, people starting to realize what's happening. Nightmare fuel
Kudos to you, you’re the first person that showed the fire from the beginning. So Sad!!!! Best video of this horrible accident.
Best incident camera work I have ever seen on TH-cam… stayed on target the whole time. GOOD JOB!
My only hope is that the cast on the island made it out okay and didn't get hurt. Also, let's be glad this was in a contained area where none of the guests could get injured and was able to avoid any chaotic environment.
As far as I know, there were no injuries.
@@jenniferschillig3768 there were three fatalities unfortunately
@@trickolas78 according to the Anaheim fire department no injuries have been reported
@@trickolas78 All the reports I've seen this morning say that everyone was safely evacuated, including the cast members. It's an animatronic dragon, so it's believable that the employees could escape injury (we can see on the videos that the actor playing Mickey was okay).
@@trickolas78 Yes, and they were your credibility, your intellect, and your sense of humor.
The fire started on point too. Mickey said, “you think you are so powerful, well this is my dream.” And at that moment the head caught on fire 🔥 🐉 ayyyyeeeee.
Murphy, once again living up to his name. RIP
You mean because now he’s brown?
Murphy's law. Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Yup.
Her name! It's maleficent.
@andrewscasualmtb yes but that animatronic is named Murphy.
Another victim to Mickey. Keep your otamatones safe(and to a lesser extent children)
First and foremost, I’m really glad that no one was hurt and that the fire was safely and quickly taken care of before the situation could get any worse than it already was. Major kudos to the Anaheim Fire Department.
Secondly, it’s very heartbreaking to see such an iconic and impressive animatronic reduced to basically nothing in just a few minutes. Lived up to her name till the very end. Rest in peace, Murphy. o7
It took them over 14 minutes to arrive on scene. Disney did a horrible job suppressing the fire as they had no fire hoses on the island of an emergency
@@0524cami I can see this being a major issue of proper maintenance having been deferred due to pandemic layoffs of key staff members, but this also constitutes a major violation of not only Anaheim local and Orange County fire codes, but CAL-OSHA and federal OSHA safety requirements.
The fire was put out by the Disneyland Fire Dept, not Anaheim fire. Kudos to them!!!
@@0524cami Not true. Disney Fire Dept was on scene immediately with hoses. They are hidden behind the dragon most of the time keeping the initial fire from spreading to other structures. The fire was out by the time Anaheim Fire got there.
@@heatherbrown7643 source? because that wasn't what happened
Thanks for posting the whole thing. Hats off to the cast members. They did a great job moving everyone out quickly. Very sad about Murphy. Hopefully a new and improved Murphy will return someday.
Agreed, it's really sad cause Fantasmic just opened back up too..
How the hell does that turn to dust when several remaining animatronics from when Walt Disney was alive are still hanging on?
@@Attmay There's only two major things that came to my mind; what the dragon was made off and (more importantly) how it was maintained!
Nope...Chernabog's time has arrived.
@@Attmay Fr
This video is important. It can be used to investigate what caused it.
If you look closely, the dragon was supposed to let out the fire fully, but it did not, it let out only some fire, with smoke.
So maybe something got stuck that prevent the gas from flowing out fully. Maybe the valve inside the dragon’s mouth did not open properly.
The fire was ignited, but the gas was not fully let out, and it accumulated inside the head.
That's why fire breathing dragons are basically extinct. It's a tough life where you might accidentally set yourself on fire just by taking a breath.
Definitely looks like a leak in the hose inside the dragon’s mouth that caused it
Yeah, it probably all just built up in the head, haven’t seen the show in a while but if I remember a charge is supposed to fire off from the head after Mickey defeats her, it looks like that lit the excess gas and caused the initial fire.
If you look closely at 0:50 you can see some kind of fluid dripping from the dragon's mouth. I reckon this was the gasoline for the fire-breathing effect. Obviously some connector or pipe broke and caused it to empty into the head, then when the igniter tried to go off again it caused the fire to start.
@@Tomsonic41that was told to be the main cause, leaking fluid
Cast member: “ we’re walking away from the fire not towards it”
😅
Adults are just kids that are licensed to drink, drive, pay bills.
I'm shocked that with all the fire in this show that there is no fire suppression system. Looked like one cast member valiantly trying to put it out with a single fire extinguisher 😢 RIP Fantasmic 😞
Lol we don't have Fantasmic here in DLP 🇫🇷. Seems a dangerous show
@lando *Yep, with regard to fire suppression I was saying; "Where's the beef?*
You know they have ways to do the show without the dragon right?
Mickey finally finished the fight after all these years. Glad no one was hurt. Geniunely heartbreaking to see a beloved attraction just engulf like this. As unfortunate as it is though, if this ends up being the final nail for the dragon, at least it happened at a fitting moment right as Mickey was taking her down. Aside from that I cant even imagine what was going through the mind of the guy in costume
Sorry to hear of the passing of a great disney character😢 Murphy, you've touched so many lives the world over!🐲❤Disney, the world mourns for your loss. RIP Murphy, the greatest dragon that ever lived!
That’s my favorite animatronic!!
It’s so sad to see it burn…
I really hope it gets rebuilt or redone in a different way. Like costume or something.
Ya no thats not happening unfortunly
This is the most metal thing to ever happen at a Disney park.
Mickey was like, "Yeah. I got some fire fo' yo' ass this time. I'm sick of this sh#t." Happy no one was injured and this was not much worse.
😂
I love how I read that in his voice 💀
Kind of poetic with everything going on with Disney right now. Glad no one was hurt.
You have to admit. Disney does not screw around when it comes to guest safety. Kudos for them evacuating visitors in a heartbeat.
they dont want to get sued of course.
Disney’s maintenance is a complete disaster lately. I went last month and all the rides kept breaking down repeatedly. Now their maintenance is so bad that their animatronics are apparently blowing up in flames.
This is definitely a maintenance issue.. Something feels off. After months and years if burns last night? Hopefully we find out more soon.
It's going to get much worse. Disney has recently begun slashing 7000 jobs, likely including maintenance and other non-essential workers. It's only a matter of time until a tragedy happens.
Mickey: "This is MY dream!" Mickey, you got some twisted dreams there, pal....
These past few years have been hard for him
Ron's just lucky mickey went after the dragon instead of him
Damn Mickey, didn't have to go THAT hard
Mickey really took control of his dream and destroyed that dragon! 😂
Mickey cast that spell a little TOO hard .😂😂😂
Had a little TOO much imagination
Agreed
I think he was training with figment lol
WHERE'S THE PRILOSEC WHEN YOU NEED IT? TALK ABOUT A MAJOR CASE OF HEARTBURN😅😂🤣😆
This would’ve been great content for Disney+ also, Disney Vacation Club members could opt to come to this performance with marshmallows and a stick. It was Mickey’s idea (and dream).
0:17 "C'mon, throw the fire; THROW THE FIRE!"
Be careful what you Wish for 😂
RIP Murphy 2009-2023
@@ecoRfan Killed by a bad, bad case of heartburn!
I was thinking that as well.Then POOF!
So sad to see this happen. I love fantastic. Also glad to hear that no one was hurt. What makes me upset is that person in the background. “ it’s gunna go viral “ and “ burn baby burn” . Such disrespect, some people are just so disgusting. No respect for history and legacy. What if that happened to something that belonged to you,that you loved?
Agreed. What he said was extremely disrespectful and distasteful to the situation on hand. Especially with families and kids around. Smh
🙄
Yeh, there's always one or two morons in a crowd.
They went woke...l have no sympathy or love for them.
That explosion sound at 2:10 is so sad 😢If you listen really closely you can hear it.
And that flame that shot out at 2:58 is Murphy’s farewell 😥
I for sure applaud your amazing camera skills and how you managed to keep focus on this , but also at the same time it’s extremely important to follow all emergency instructions. Getting out to safety is way more important. ❤
He pointed a phone at the show. It’s not rocket science.
Gotta get the likes
Was going to say the same thing, first off, thanks for recording in Landscape unlike so many peeps doing it in portrait. Pretty scary. :(
You sir are a doochnozzle for not even paying attention to what the cast members were saying to get out of the area just so you can get the likes and coverage. You should be ashamed.
This looks like a testament to budget cutbacks in maintenance. First the break room catches fire, now Murphy. Pretty soon someone is going to get hurt.
Mickey took his job a bit too seriously
Everyone was so calm until the body went up in flames... THEN everyone started getting the hell out.
They were forced to leave by Disneyland gestapo
I feel like everyone noticed the small explosion and started to leave after that.
@@trickolas78 : "Gestapo"? Really?
@@trickolas78 yep cause they were ACTUALLY doing their JOB and making sure guests were evacuated and safe from harm you numpty!
@@stephcrane i know right? what an idiot ....saw his or her's comments further up saying 3 fatalities ect which is BULL ..they are one of those YT folks that have an account but bugger all posts! say it all really think they just created it to comment on vids and just be a keyboard warrior in comments on YT 🤣🤣 MIND YOU not as bad as another comment that was quoting verses from the Bible! im not religious and respect other folks faith etc but there is a time and place for that and this VID was NOT the place lol
Can't expect anything less from Murphy the dragon :P (for those who don't know... this newly improved animatronic dragon for Disneyland's Fantasmic! show made its debut back in 2010 was nicknamed Murphy because of Murphy's Law where Anything that can go wrong will go wrong).
And they were prove right.
@@Angie2343 I just was reminded of the Disney cartoon, Milo Murphy’s Law.
Heard from an incredibly reliable source that he cost 4 million dollars as well. Oof.
When Mickey tried to defeat the dragon, he pretty much took it to the next level.
But seriously, hope a replacement comes in as soon as possible.
Chapeck & Iger "Profits are down, let's cut the maintenance budget"
Ah, yes…the two infamous stooges who invented Virtual Queues, making prices go high on everything, both dumber than a bag of rocks.
'Everyone keep moving' or just be the silly person standing and filming stopping people from evacuating. That makes sense!
Looks like a scene from police squad…. All the cast members waving people out with their backs turned to the fire…
“Move along, nothing to see here, move along”
And I’m pretty sure everyone was probably thinking in response, “Surely you can’t be serious.” 😂😂
It’s symbolic of what Disney executives are doing with the company.
YOU WIN 🏆...👍
Or have done to already. Close to the point of no return.
I would say it’s a sign of what is to come. 😏
@@oldfashionedstitches2378 Yep
Cringe yo.
I'm guessing the fire didn't activate when the lighter fluid was shot out like it was supposed to. That mist that came out of the dragon's mouth was probably a flammable liquid, it might've caught fire while it was in the dragon's mouth
That just shows they have to stick classic things instead of technology
Great job documenting the most calm, collective and informative video of this incident! You kept the camera still. You really captured history with grace but also respectfully. Great job!
thank you even though i wasn't supposed to do that i really wanted to see if the dragon could be saved :( but sadly it wasnt i ended up crying on the live stream i was doing at that time
Good video. Very sad situation. Glad no one was hurt. My husband and I were there when it caught fire but we were on the train in new Orleans square and saw the initial flaming fuel falling down on the belly of the dragon and knew it wasn't normal. By the time the train reached the rivers of America side we could see the smoke billowing over the trees and when we got to tomorrowland we tried to run across the park to take a look but by then they were not allowing anyone in there. Pretty crazy. RIP Maleficent April 22nd 2023.
i was in shock :(
My takeaway from this is Mickey has powers beyond our comprehension
Mickey used 1% of his real power.
This is my favorite thing at Disneyland. It’s so insane. I’m glad no one was hurt. It is definitely a trip all the people there will not forget ❤
1) Someone standing by manual emergency shutoff for the main gas line to island???
2) Pre positioned people and boats or other to apply fire suppression in 10s of seconds???
3) In-line valves that shut off automatically when "open pipe" is sensed???
4) Prearranged corridors that open up walking areas for emergency evac???
deeply saddened to see what happened last night via social media of what occurred to Murphy the dragon at the Fantasmic show 😭😭😭😭😭 hopefully she can return to the show soon and whatever mishaps happened they can address what went wrong but now it’s painstakingly sad that this occurred here in california and if you remember what happened in Festival of Fantasy at WDW parade just like in Festival of Fantasy parade she returned in high spirits breathing fire 🔥 so hopefully she’ll return to Fantasmic as well as she is well beloved by many Disney fans 🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you for the 😢 footage TPD
Of course she can I believe they made a backup
Happened at 11 PM, an hour before St. Georges Day (who killed the dragon), but in this plot it was MIckey who killed the dragon. There are probably lots of disgruntled employees who were or are about to be laid off. It seems odd that an animatronic made of such fire resistant material would burn completely and so fast. It has lasted for many decades so far. I like how the comical frontierland music kicked in immediately after, just like a comedy sketch. Frank Drebin would say, "Move Along, Nothing To See Here!"
Other angles show fuel leaking from the mouth before it catches fire, so that apparently is why it went up so quickly. It was covered with fuel. Glad nobody was hurt.
Napalm... easy to start... hard to put out. Disney got VERY, VERY lucky that the actor playing Mickey wasn't torched by this accident. Shows what years of planning and safety run throughs can do. When shit goes down, all the training kicks in.
The guy with the fire extinguisher,,, -"nope this ain't going to do nothin'."
2:56 The man on the island walking towards the fire at this point needs a Darwin award. Luck was in his favor and was the only thing that saved him from it. Especially at 3:00 when the fuel line burned out and released his fire shot. Funny, crowd
3:32 "Are you doing fireworks later?" Dragon not enough for him.
I rewatched from another view point, the guy trying to fight the dragon is not as close as it seems. But still deserves the award LOL
I just heard a great big “Nope!” in my head as he turned around
Mickey must have got a critical hit on her
It was super effective.
Whoever is saying “throw the fire! Throw the fire!” That was a jinx bro. LOL
Even Mickey was like "wtf"
Mickey: "This is MY dream!"
*slays dragon for real*
The dragon: Goes up in flames and the show stops
The rest of the park: *New Orleans music plays*
This has to be one of the safest fires to happen, since there’s literally a giant river separating guest
That jazz music in the background makes it even more surreal. It looks like a cross-burning almost.
I appreciate you capturing this everyone needed to be better about listening to the cast members.
MICKEY YOU KILLED HER!!!
Mickey used Fire Blast it's Super Effective.
That fact that she COMPETLY BURNED proves Diz cheaped out and did not give her flame retardant materials. MKs Malifecnts float only burned in her head
Thank you for getting a video for us even though the cast members were yelling at you. I don't think I would have been brave enough to stand there with them telling me to go.
The blonde one that said "we walk away from fire, not towards it" had me rolling. 🤣
When Micky attacks the dragon, there are fireworks on the side that go off near the jaws of the mouth. I think that's what caught fire on the remaining fluid in there and set it aflame.
Unfortunately, with pyrotechnics that shoot from the mouth, whether it's fire or the sparks/fireworks that go off...all it takes is one misfire for it to all go wrong. With the advancements Disney has made in image mapping effects, they could easily make it look like she's being electrocuted without using pyrotechnics (the new Indiana Jones effects on Mara) ...it's a very expensive and emotional loss. Glad everyone is safe.
Lol, Mickey does a double take. Like what, my magic worked?! 🤣
I am surprised there was no audible fire alarms, just a jazz band.
Perfect analogy to the current state of Disney. Even the happy music in the background while being ushered away from the flames.
Mickey finally slayed the dragon. Good for him.
You can tell from the very beginning that something was malfunctioning when the dragon breathed pure fuel and no fire.
Mickey didn't know his own power.
Mickey had some bad intentions in his dream 😂
I’m sorry Thad to witness this, but thank you for posting it. As always, we can count on you to provide the latest and even not-so-greatest Disney news.
Sort of disconcerting that the fire department still isn’t there after 15 minutes. Luckily it wasn’t in an area with park visitors
"It all started with a mouse!" 🔥🤣🌺🌸
Mickey: "this is MY dream"
Proceeds to burn dragon alive in its own fire.
I hope DeSantis is taking notes.
The only thing ron de meatball knows is how deep can I dig this hole.
Bro imagine being so upset about Disney ☠️
Say…about those “inspections” coming up…
Dragon made Mickey mad
Now imagine Mickey would’ve taken out the key blade this time , now that would been perfect
12:32 ok water works! That’s awesome, I hope that puts the fire out sense no one recorded the fire going out except the picture of it I was from Vailskibum
"THIS IS MY DREAM!"
OSHA will not be happy about the lack of fire fighting personnel in a show that has fire in it
Bring out the marshmellows Mickey!......Screw that, I'm bringing hot dogs....get over here Pluto!
Disneys mistake not having water cannons located in the water pre-pointed at this spot. Could have put it out. What’s Anaheim FD supposed to do? No way to get over there except by those rafts…
They could easily do it with the existing piping used for the water effect such as the one at 1:10
Thee best footage right here. I can't believe I missed this there!!! Thanks for powering through recording!
Knowing Disney it’ll take a year before they replace the dragon. If they even decide to replace it at all. The show I can see coming back in a month or two. Glad everyone is safe. Curious to see footage during the day to see the aftermath
Oh my god! That’s insane! Thank god everyone was okay! The dragon must’ve been too close to something that made it get caught on fire.
Another angle shows fuel leaking from the mouth, so it looks like a fuel leak was to blame.
@@Sueb18631 Oh my god! Well it’s getting investigated. We’ll just have to wait for the report.
@@Sueb18631 Yeah you can see it dripping before it catches
What I could see from the video the fuel did not initially fully ignite so it just doused itself in fuel wich is probably why it went up in blaze so fast plus the leak from the mouth wich you can see leaking all over its platform the final nail in murphy’s blazing coffin the quick bit of pyro from the death sequence priming to go off
@@jdwilliams8864 It looked like it was near a tree with lights and it might’ve swayed into it while I guess it was leaking. Who knows.
Dragon: *Legitimately dies*
Mickey: Oh no! Anyways, my work here is done
kinda ironic that the fire started spreading right as maleficent's death scene was starting to play, with maleficent and the other villains screaming.
You were relentless in getting that footage bro. 👍🏻 Thanks!!!
Thank you for sharing that you did an absolutely fantastic job filming. I'm glad nobody was hurt
When Cast Members tell you to do something just do it. People should have the Inteligent's when there is fire you need to leave, so those that have been trained can deal with the emergency.
Finally someone smart enough to show the footage before the fire so I could see what happen. I know what caused it now. You can see fluid (possible hydraulic fluid or butane) pouring out of the mouth of the dragon before the fire starts. The fluid is very flammable. The pyro sets the flammable fluid on fire inside of the mouth first and it spreads upwards to the top of the head. All the flames you see dripping down is fluid on fire. I'm wonder why they did not have a sensor to shut down the show if the fluid pressure was dropping. With that size of a leak, the pressure had to be dropping big time so how come there was not a E shut off for the flammable fluid? If there would of been then only the head would of got toasted.
Must be so infuriating for the CM trying to do their job and keep people safe when people seemingly refuse to move and continue to record.
They aren’t “cast members,” FFS. They’re employees. 🤦
“This is my dream!”
