The ending of Fantasmic! at Hollywood Studios features a triumphant Mickey Mouse on top of the mountain, conducting a series of fountains and fireworks. It’s a great scene, but a recent show suffered a major problem as Mickey’s head came off.
Warning – If you want to maintain the magic, don’t watch the video below. Consider it Not Safe for Magic.
Il a du avoir très peur… Éloignez les jeunes enfants : Mickey a eu un accident hier soir pendant #Fantasmic à #WaltDisneyWorld. Sa tête a failli tomber pendant la scène finale, alors qu'il était en train de faire des tours de magie. Il s'en est fallu de peu ! ???? pic.twitter.com/fEEDInun1A

The Tweet above, which is in French, is loosely translated by Microsoft (so take it for what it’s worth) to say:
“He must have been very scared… Keep young children away: Mickey had an accident last night during #Fantasmic at #WaltDisneyWorld. His head almost fell during the final scene, while he was doing magic tricks. It took a little! ????”
Thankfully, Mickey’s head didn’t fall off the mountain, but it did take some time for the performer to correct the situation. Clearly something went wrong with how the head was secured.
