Get ready for a groundbreaking creative partnership between renowned memory-makers Cirque du Soleil and Disney. Set your creativity in motion. With Drawn to Life, Walt Disney Animation's art is brought to life in a way that has never been possible before. Bring the whole family together for an extraordinary experience as the stage is turned into a massive animated table for this stunning new show, which features live acrobatics. Along with brand-new Disney animation and an original score that draws inspiration from legendary Disney music, Cirque du Soleil's inventive design, acrobatic performances, stunning choreography, and varied costuming reimagine the art of classic Disney animation. All of the mind-blowing exuberance and high-flying stunts for which Cirque du Soleil is renowned are present in the performance.
This tribute to Disney Animation's art embraces the actions and feelings of life. The plot of the show focuses on a motivated young woman who finds one last item left by her animator father—a collection of incomplete sketches. She sets out on an exciting quest infused with her Disney childhood memories, assisted by a magical pencil and a funny band of creative muses. We'll accompany her as she dives into an imaginative realm of animation and unearths fresh options that bring her future into motion.
