This is the terrifying moment a 45-foot tall animatronic dragon caught fire on Disneyland's Tom Sawyer island in California and caused families to flee the park.
The popular attraction exploded and erupted into a fireball during the theme park's 'Fantasmic!' show at Walt Disney World Resort on Saturday night.
Cast members were forced to flee the scene after the head of Maleficent Dragon's became engulfed in flames in the middle of the performance.
They quickly evacuated around 1,000 people from the site around Frontierland as the thick black smoke plume spread across the theme park.
The Anaheim Fire Department responded to the incident and no one was hurt.
Footage shows the dragon's fire breath engulfed its head before it later spread to the rest of its body.
The cast members were quick to react as the animatronic monster erupted into a fireball and the flames began to spread and drop below.
Firefighters arrived shortly to extinguish the flames and authorities confirmed there were no injuries.
Videos shared on social media show parkgoers fleeing from the scene as staff cordoned off the attraction.
As the fire rapidly grew, a public announcement was played to say the show could no longer continue.

I wish Walt would come back, and fire all these Marxists.
They just don’t build fire breathing dragons like they used to!
You sure that wasn’t the Biden Economy exhibit?
Disney is - or was, LOL - permitted to set its own safety standards and do its own safety inspections.
I think DeSantis is putting a stop to that.
Was a bit distorted, but I am pretty sure that the Disney announcer/Narrator was speaking spanish.
Almost as exciting as when “Big Tex” caught fire and burned to the ground at the State Fair!
Any of those chinese solar batteries involved. Smoke looked very toxic.
Something like that in a heavily populated neighborhood would kill dozens.
Coming to an EV near everybody.
Karma.
Just why is a fire breathing dragon on Tom Sawyer island in Frontier land?
Jeff G. had some of the best lines in that movie! I’ve always loved his dead-pan delivery.
You forgot to add, ‘Bibbity Bobbity BOO!’ ;)
100%!
It was the perfect role for him...:)
Plus, he broke his leg early on in the movie, so he got to sit around a lot, getting paid for spouting platitudes that someone else wrote, LOL!
Nice work if you can get it!
As the fire rapidly grew, a public announcement was played to say the show could no longer continue.
Wow, what a bunch of worry-warts.
