Once Upon a Mouse was a live stage show that was performed at Tokyo Disneyland from July 19, 1999 to May 23, 2004. This was one of few Tokyo Disneyland attractions where characters spoke English with a little Japanese. The show featured Mickey Mouse and his friends, either Disney or Pixar, in a musical revue celebrating the history and legacy of Disney animation.
Show summary[]
The show was divided into four segments, each with a different theme and style. The segments were:
Once Upon a Mouse: A grand finale featuring all the characters and songs from the previous segments.
The show was performed at the Showbase 2000 theater in Tomorrowland, which had a capacity of 1,500 seats. The theater was equipped with special effects such as lasers, fog, pyrotechnics, and water jets. The show also featured live performers, dancers, and puppeteers, as well as audio-animatronic figures of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Chip and Dale, and Pluto. It was well received by guests and critics alike, who praised its musical variety, production value, and nostalgic appeal. The show was replaced by One Man's Dream II: The Magic Lives On in 2004, which continued the theme of celebrating Disney animation with new segments and songs.
