Spectators at Disneyland�s popular �Fantasmic!� show got a shock this weekend when the feature�s fire-breathing animatronic dragon suddenly burst into flames.

No injuries were reported following the blaze Saturday night at the Southern California theme park, the Anaheim Fire Department said.

Ryan Laux, a frequent Disneyland visitor, said fire has always been a part of the �Fantasmic!� presentation. But he said he knew something was awry when when flames didn�t come from where they usually do.

�The head started going on fire instead of the fire projecting out,� said Laux, who lives in Los Angeles and captured the blaze on video.

The show was stopped almost immediately �and then right after that, the dragon started catching fire and the whole body was up in flames,� he told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The show takes place twice nightly near the park�s famous Tom Sawyer Island. The climax features Mickey Mouse battling a giant dragon named Maleficent.

Laux said Mickey vanished from the stage as soon as the dragon�s head became engulfed in flames.

The extent of the damage wasn�t immediately known.
