Splashtacular

 Splashtacular was actually based on a Tokyo Disneyland show called "It's Magical: Tokyo Disneyland 10th Anniversary Spectacular".  The premise of the show was that Sorcerer Mickey took classic Disney characters and the audience though a world of color.  Maleficent then shows up and takes the colors away.  She turns into a dragon and Mickey battles her (like in Fantasmic) to bring color back to the world.  
 The Epcot version of this show premiered in 1994 and was held in the large fountain behind Spaceship Earth.  In addition to a name change, Mickey's costume was changed to a futuristic style.  As with the Tokyo Disneyland show, the characters started out with a tribute to colors.  Minnie sang about the shade of pink.  Chip and Dale liked green. Pluto and Goofy's favorite colors were yellow and orange.  Donald was partial to blue.  The music and most of the costumes were the same as the Tokyo Disneyland show, although the villains became robotic bad guys with a dinosaur-like mechanical monster.  
 The show featured nearly 50 performers and also a giant inflatable rainbow balloon.  The computer-controlled fountain was capable of sending jets of rainbow-colored water high into the air (up to 150 feet) and synchronizing action with symphonic music.  
 Splashtacular didn't last very long.  The show may have been canceled because it created pedestrian traffic jams and if it was windy, the audience and the actors would get drenched!
