We don't generally go to a lot of shows. We did our first time in California Adventure, because it was really hot and we were looking for ways to get out of the sun, and it was fine, but we're more into riding rides.
I first started to get interested in the Fantasyland Theatre when I saw that they had a Snow White show, though it was not playing when we were there. Later it changed to Mickey and the Magical Map, and the key thing that made me feel that we needed to make an effort to see it was finding out that King Louie was in it. My sisters love him.
They also love Junior, so not only was his appearance a nice surprise, but this shot is a good example of the way they incorporate animation into the show, which is also live action.
Animation and performers take you to various locations for musical numbers. There are also special effects, like bubbles and confetti.
The premise is that apprentice Mickey was trying to finish creating a map, and the last blank spot is trying to escape being painted, so it uses the map to transport itself, and Mickey pursues. You may not remember the sorcerer whom Mickey was apprenticed to as being a mapmaker, but that's how it goes.
In the end, Mickey has sympathy for the spot's desire to not be painted over, but leaving it there is what makes the map magical, so it all works out, and becomes time for a splashy musical number.
It was fine. The shows aren't our thing, but they did a good job with it, and attending shows can build in a rest break.
