Walt Disney's World On Ice

Walt Disney's World On Ice the first Disney On Ice production ever produced.

## Act 1

### Act 1

Tinkerbell arrives and greets the audience, to help us prepare for the first act. A parade of Disney characters, and host Linda Fratianne arrive to the scene along with the leader of the club: Mickey Mouse.

Goofy has a bit of trouble skating and keeps falling down. Mickey reminds Goofy of Pinocchio, someone who always finds himself in trouble. Pinocchio is getting ready to go out to play but Geppetto warns Pinocchio to beware of Honest John and Gideon. As Pinocchio heads out to play, he does encounter Honest John and Gideon as they persuade him to be a great skater with an altered version of "An Actor's Life for Me". While Pinocchio hesitates, the dishonest duo, start to head to their first location:

In Bear Country, Big Al, Liverlips, and Teddy Bara celebrate the wonders of living in the country. During their festivities, they notice that there's a person and not a bear who skates to "You've Been the Object of My Affection". Meanwhile, Geppeto calls upon the help of Mickey Mouse and Goofy to try and look for Pinocchio. Pinocchio, Honest John, and Gideon are on a rowboat on the sea heading to their next location: India. In there, they meet the Jungle Boy who enjoys his life in the jungle, and singing the orangutan song with King Louie. He then notices a beautiful jungle princess. As he tries to introduce himself to the beautiful jungle princess, Baloo accidentally bumps into him and tells him all about the Bare Necessities.

Honest John and Gideon head out of the dense jungle, realizing Pinocchio escaped and is replaced by his friend Lampwick. They encounter Stromboli, the runner of Dumbo's circus. The dishonest duo try to bribe Stromboli to get Pinocchio, not before learning a little lesson in circus life. Then leading into a comedy routine featuring Lampwick and Stromboli.

Honest John and Gideon keep looking for Pinocchio, as they notice an elephant flying in the sky who turns out to be Dumbo who's flying all the way to Dumbo's Flying Circus. The spectacular circus, run by ringmaster Mickey, features 3 fantastic rings: a skating trapeze duet, a routine featuring a brave lion trainer and 4 ferocious lions, and finally the world's greatest trampoline act. After the circus ends, Mickey Mouse announces the start of intermission.

### Act 2

The second act begins with Major Domo Goofy, checking out the book we've seen at the start of the show. Geppetto is looking for Pinocchio and interrupts Goofy before he starts to announce the sweetheart ball. Honest John, Gideon, and Pinocchio arrive at the sweethearts ball and he rubs elbows with some of the famous sweethearts of the kingdom: Snow White and her handsome prince, Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip, Cinderella and Prince Charming, and Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. They all waltz to a medley of the couples most famous songs.

Pinocchio managed to escape from the clutches of Honest John and Gideon as they start to look for him. The Queen of Hearts and the King of Hearts are left alone onstage as they start to waltz together. Alice then skates in a world of her own, as Pinocchio encounters them along with Mickey. Pinocchio asks for help to find his way home, Goofy arrives on time and provides quite a silly solution: the world's craziest taxi station with Herbie the Love Bug included.

Pinocchio still in worry, remembers something his conscience Jiminy Cricket taught him: give a little whistle, as he encourages the audience to whistle along with him. Next thing you know, Donald Duck arrives on the scene, and welcomes Pinocchio to Brazil. As he along with several of local inhabitants celebrate the day, he reunites with his 2 best friends Panchito Pistoles and José Carioca, the Three Cabelleros reunite once more. The sky turns dark as Zorro makes his entrance, showing off and doing some stunts.

Pinocchio all sad and alone, worries he'll never get home. Honest John and Gideon try to take their advantage on capturing Pinocchio, but the Blue Fairy manages to send them away with a wave of her wand. The fairy reminds Pinocchio that if he wishes hard enough, his wish will come true. Suddenly, Geppetto and Pinocchio find each other on main street. As the entire gang celebrates, Pinocchio will forever cherrish the wonderful journey he had.
