Just add English shows to Mickey and the Magician and it'll be perfect for the 25th. Seriously needs to happen.

having seen  the show I can honestly say the language isn't an issue . the show is easy  to follow and understand. really no different to dreams.  and the multi lingual aspect means that audience won't be affected by whether it's high season for French or English speakers

English shows really wouldn't matter much, the only bits in french is Mickey's dialogue and Beauty and the Beast

Well, now I've seen it I can add my two penneth.

I personally feel that the show does need an English version and seeing how Mickeys voice is just a recording (or at least I think it is?) I can't see why this hasn't been done.  All Mickey's dialogue (of which there's a fair bit) is in French and I didn't understand most of it.  I got an A in French speaking and listening GCSE and although that was 20 years ago, and I've forgotten much more than I remember, my basics are still there but I gave up trying to understand Mickey after a few minutes.

I enjoyed the show and was still able to follow the gist of the story, or so I thought, until we discussed it as a family and it turned out we'd all interpreted it slightly differently!!!! 

It's a good show, the music and dancing and costumes are fabulous but for me, not being able to fully immerse myself in the story just took the shine off it.

I'm so pleased the show is making a return next year after a break which is slightly longer then I would have liked. I'm just disappointed it's not back on for a full year run as it's such a draw for guests to come to DLP to see their award winning show. This show is a great boost for WDS. I hope they are able to extend it past September. Fingers crossed!

Through complete coincidence I was there on March 18th which was the day they started showing it again. The first 2 times we missed out as the theatre was completely full! I've never been turned away from the Animagique theatre before, never seen it full to capacity. However, we persevered and managed to get in to the third showing and it was well worth it. This show is absolutely brilliant. I loved Animagique and will miss it dearly but I must admit that this new show is even better and a fantastic addition to the park. I hope that whatever replaces Cinemagique is as good as this.  :D

Having now finally got to see the show twice this visit I have to say it's incredibly impressive. I do hope it's back by the time I go again at Christmas. I love how they've used elements from the musicals and the quality of the sets and performances is top notch.

To add my 2p worth to the language issue, I didn't really find it a problem. I would describe my French as fairly basic but I got the jist of what Mickey was saying as his dialogue was thankfully quite basic too - maybe I've picked up more French than I thought though!

I thought they extended Mickey past New Year?

So they have! I missed that announcement somewhere. Very good news as it would be madness to not have such a magical show during the Christmas season. If the show must have a break January -  March is the best time by far.

Certainly in January but only when I have been to see it again haha. Its a quieter time of year so would be best then.

Great! You gave me a bit of a fright, haha. I missed it in June (thought it was just a movie and couldn't be bothered :-X!!) and was gutted when I came back and read all the reviews! Can't wait to see it in September :)

Even thoug it isn't supposed to happen, the most entertaining is when things go slightly wrong. Like during the second show we saw during our visit, where genie slipped and landed on his bottom, later warning mickey "just don't do what I did"  :D
