So is the show any different than it was in 2000? Let us know when you can, MouseBear

I also thought that the Villain transition in the WDW show was interesting: the Villains "morph" into each other, whereas the DL version uses the "Closeup of Villain's eyes in darkness" shot to go to the next Villain. I was also surprised that, when watching the YouTube clips, Cruella's psycho face wasn't used during the Death Montage. I was also expecting to see Hades being attacked by the Lost Souls as well. I did get a kick out of seeing the oldschool "topless" Mickey during the Cave of Wonders sequence. Thanks for posting the Disney rules...I used to say that Fantasmic was the show where Mickey blatantly murders people in front of hundreds of guests.
