A giant fire-breathing dragon caught fire during a live show at Disneyland in California.
Several videos posted on social media showed the 45-foot-tall stage prop catching fire, and audience members were informed via the public address system that the show could not go ahead due to “unforeseen circumstances”.
People were then evacuated from that area of the Anaheim theme park.
No injuries were reported, according to the fire department.
The fire came during a Fantasmic show that promised “enhanced special effects, state-of-the-art projections and superb pyrotechnics”.

In the show, Mickey Mouse directs scenes from disney Classics, including Aladdin and The Lion King.
It includes a section in which the Evil Queen from Snow White summons some of the most villainous villains in Toon Giants, including Maleficent, the malevolent fairy from Sleeping Beauty in the form of a giant, fire-breathing dragon.
“Looks like Maleficent’s evil plan backfired,” joked one person on social media.
Disneyland has been contacted for comment.
