[[Cirque Du Soleil]]'s twelfth production, which opened in December 1998, was a landmark for the company in two ways. It was their first resident (non-touring) show outside of Las Vegas, and the first to be mounted at a Disney resort: Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, at a custom-built theater at the Downtown Disney shopping/dining district. As well, it was the final Cirque show written and directed by Franco Dragone, who had pulled these duties for most of them up to that point. Amazingly, it premiered less than five months after ''"O"'' had arrived on the other side of the country.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
While still running at Disney World, this show was filmed and released on DVD in 2004, and is currently the only resident show that can claim this distinction.

* [[Audience Participation]]: Surprisingly little for a Cirque show, but one audience member gets to be one of the people jumped over for the climax of the bike act.
* [[Brick Joke]]: {{spoiler|The floating rock in the clowns' space adventure crashes to Earth at the ''very'' end. Also, the trumpet player who appears in the [[Opening Ballet]]? He's the Frog Prince.}}
Line 24 ⟶ 22:
* [[Dream Land]]: According to the [[All There in the Manual]] material, the attic is this.
* [[The Everyman]]: The Cleaning Lady.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Fairy Tale]]
* [[Fantastic Romance]]: The Cleaning Lady and {{spoiler|the Frog Prince}}, [[Played for Laughs]].
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
* [[Opening Ballet]]: The show has a prologue featuring a procession of Cirques around the theater's main aisle; this is followed by a second dance sequence that would, ordinarily, serve as this.
* [[Our Acts Are Different]]: The 90-minute show (plus a 10-15 minute preshow) is performed in one act.
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: The Cleaning Lady's {{spoiler|wedding gown}}
* [[Running Gag]]: The Nuts appear twice during the preshow to crash cymbals, but realize that they've come out too early. The actual cue for the cymbals doesn't happen until ''much'' later.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: This was Cirque's most idealistic, brightly-colored show in years, and especially compared to ''Quidam'' and ''"O"''.
