The rest of the parade features the unbridled enchantment and vivid pageantry of Fantasyland-and its many inhabitants-as it winds its way through the park. The dragon is a climactic moment in the Festival of Fantasy parade, breathing fire as it rolls down the parade route at Magic Kingdom.

Like the Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor’s Descendants character, the fire-breathing steampunk dragon is based on the villain from “Sleeping Beauty.“.

Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth who portrays Maleficent – The Mistress of All Evil in Disney’s Descendants had a closeup encounter with the Maleficent dragon float from the Festival of Fantasy Parade at Walt Disney World Resort.

Universal is set to distribute as always and a release date is on the books for 14 March 2025. Reassuringly, writer/director Dean DeBlois, who has been the guiding force for the big screen trilogy, will be back to oversee the live-action version, which will have to tread a fine line bringing particularly the loveable toothless into the CG/live-action realm. With critical appreciation and success at the box office, the film has also spawned several spin-off TV series. The movies told Hiccup and Toothless’ quest to combat humanity’s prejudice against dragons, the ache of overcoming the loss of a parent, and first love. The original trilogy of movies used the books by Cressida Cowell as a jumping off point and focused on the special friendship between a young and unheroic Viking boy named Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and Toothless, an injured dragon he nurses back to health.

Anything Disney can do, DreamWorks Animation can… also do? After years of going toe-to-toe (and sometimes besting) the Mouse House in terms of animated franchise, the company is now also going down the route of making live-action versions of its big hits.
