That sounds like a fun show! I wonder what other tricks the characters do...

We saw this last year and thought it was great. The Double Sawing is incredible. Both of the young magicians were great. One of the real, tricks, though, is that the characters mouths move and their eyes blink (I asked Jim about this in a previous Why For?). Still don't know why they don't do this for the parades and shows at the Parks. It's really amazing.

Saw this show as well in Sept 2006. It was really neat. I was also amazed by the new character designs and the removable hats. I think Jim responded to that question and made an article how Disney has been experimenting with this type of tech for more than a decade.

How about a mention on whether this show is still running or something? Can't find anything on google beside an empty official Disney schedule.

Speaking of google, for all those images you keep crediting to "Google Images", it would be nice if you actually credited the artist, and not the search engine you use to find them. Google doesn't have any rights to those images.

I took my girlfriend and her two preschool children to see this show in Indianapolis recently, and I have to tell you it was one of the best shows I've ever seen!! As a Disney "nut" since birth I look for every opportunity to attend a Disney show (remember Disney on Parade in the 1970's?!). The kids and I loved the characters, the music, the magic and the fact that we could see Mickey live without going to his house in Orlando. It is an adorable and wonderfully entertaining show and kept the attention of the little ones without sacrificing the attention of the adults in the audience. The 2 young men who kept the show moving are to be highly commended on their energy, acting, and showmanship. However, this Disney fan nearly fell out of his seat when the greatest thing in the world happened on stage: Mickey's mouth moved when he spoke and his eyes continually blinked!!!!!! He also removed his top hat and put on his sorcerer hat!!! That alone was worth the price of admission to me!! Seeing Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy speak, sing, laugh, blink and wink was a highlight for me. Kudos to the production company, the Disney folks, and everyone involved with putting together a show of which Walt would be proud. I hope more Disney touring stage shows will be created, produced and brought to those of us who can't get to the theme parks to see our Disney friends.
