In my opinion, Mickey has changed for bad in the parade...
I saw it nearly every year during the summer holidays, in the beginning Mickey was really cool, did a lot of moves, marched a lot.. Now I saw videos from this summer season and was shocked, because he seemed so bored...

 I think it's kinda sad that there are so many actors who plays different Mickey Mouses, we had one very good Mickey on the first day, then a very very bad Mickey on the second day... Should'nt they play so that there is no difference? Don't they have the same choreography? For me, Mickey has always been the highlight of the whole parade, but the pictures from the summer parade 2010 make me really sad.. who agrees?

Location: Parade route- Disneyland Park

According to the Xmas press release, Fantillusion will be performed every evening/night from the 7th of Novemeber!

Ahh nothing better then seeing Fanti over christmas , it just makes the atmosphere that little bit more magical, but wasnt it performed every single night over the christmas season in previous years too?

Yes, Fantillusion is performed during the summer and christmas season, every year. Nothing new.

I thought that they only did it on the weekends until the full on holiday period started i.e. School Holiday's? If not.. Silly me lol! I'm so hoping I can go at x mas, I love fanti

I have seen Fantillusion only twice. Both times during the Christmas Season in 2006. Back then I liked it, because it was my first nighttime parade.
At WDW I have seen Spectromagic and I didn't like that parade at all. DLRP's Fantillusion was better, had a nicer soundtrack and floats were also more beautiful.

BUT last year I have seen a video of the Tokyo version. So sad that Paris got a cheaper version.

I would love to see it replaced with Main Street Electrical Parade.

I couldnt agree more! Spectro was my least favorite nighttime parade. This year in WDW I saw the Electrical PArade in all its glory and it is still the best. Rumour has it that Fantillusion will be replaced with Spectro at Paris next year...    I would rather have Fanti 2 more years than Spectro... [-o<

Watching that last video of the Sayonara season in Tokyo was just amazing. Not that I have anything against out Fantillusion, I love it and think it's amazing, part of me can't help but feel it's a bit of a shame that Paris didn't buy the entire parade. That would have been out of this world, but obviously costs and money blah blah blah have to take precedence. Anyway, I'm still happy we have Fanti (Oh but also, how come we don't have the characters like Pinoccchio/Jiminy etc come out from the carousel?)

In Tokyo, there were 4 charecter carrying floats: Flora's Gazeebo, the 2 leaves and Merryweather's Gazeebo. We only have the first Gazeebo and I think it can only carry 4/5 charecters safley.  :|

Short review of the Halloween Fantillusion,
In the 2 months since Summer, the floats have obviously just been left in a shed...

Garden
- To start, the underliner was slightly out of sync with the floats
- On [strike:112rqdpq]Flora's[/strike:112rqdpq] Tinkerbell's gazeebo there was a sequence or two flashing (flashing means there's either a bulb that's dead or missing in that sequence)
- Enchanted Butterfly garden completely missing
- Only 2 Butterfly dancers in the entire Garden section (as I predicted earlier in the thread, because the charecters are now out of the Gazeebo, they've cut the number of winged/webbed dancers)

Villains
- Flotsam and Jetsom's eyes were both out and also another sequence flashing
- Bat Forest was placed at the end of the Villains section (should be infront of Maleficent) and subsequently clashed with the Happy Ending underliner.

Happy Ending
- Few flashing sequences in the happy ending.
- The castle ledge that Minnie stands on was completely dark![/list]

Poor show... here's the vids

I'm being very critical, but its only because a Disney Parade shouldn't have these faults! Especially after two months of no night time parade! :x

[Festival Disney]

And another thing, how loud does DLP play the Underliner on this parade?! It's so loud you have to really listen closely to hear the different orchestration for all the floats!
In this video from the Tokyo production, the guy filming is quite a distance away from the first float but you can hear its music really clearly over the underliner, and all the other floats so much more clearly... even on a bad-ish recording from the nineties... rant over :lol:

I don't quite understand Fantillusion. The big floats for Ursula, Jafar and Maleficent are kind of bulky, borin and ugly looking.

When they transform into the monsters they look much better, but it seems they only transform once, in the middle of Main Street. 90% of the time they're in their non-transformed boring mode, which seems a waste.
