Maleficent Through the Mist
If this dragon looks familiar yet different, that's because this beastly version of Maleficent is from the now-defunct Tokyo Disney Sea version of FANTASMIC! In contrast to the land-based Disneyland and Walt Disney World iterations, Tokyo Disney Sea's spectacular was bound by the waters of Mediterranean Harbor, and it featured literal floats and watercraft moving all around the lagoon. And it it's most impressive trick, in the climactic moment of the show, Maleficent's head and neck rise up through the Magic Mirror and spew fire onto the waters. The actions are similar to the other FANTASMIC! shows, but the reveal is pretty amazing. It's a bummer that this show isn't still around, but the reality at Tokyo Disney is that a demanding populace that really loves seeing new shows every few years doesn't really allow very many shows to have a lengthy run. And Tokyo Disney's FANTASMIC! was a much longer run than most shows there!
