“Seeing a Cirque du Soleil show at Disney Springs has long been a cherished experience for our guests,” said Jeff Vahle, President of Walt Disney World Resort. We hope it will mean as much to our fans as it has to us – it’s not just our show now, it’s theirs too.” “This collaboration has been unlike anything we’ve done before. “This show has been in the works for years and to finally share it with the world is a dream come true,” said Daniel Lamarre, President, and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group. As a result, the show pays homage to classic Disney Animation techniques and many trailblazing Disney Animation artists, including Mary Blair, Ollie Johnston, and Frank Thomas.

Years in the making, the show resulted from extensive visits Cirque du Soleil teams made to Disney theme parks, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Walt Disney Animation Research Library, Walt Disney Archives, and The Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. In addition, it marks the first-ever theatrical collaboration of three creative icons: Cirque du Soleil, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Walt Disney Imagineering.

Admission, Disney Genie+, Lightning Lane, and MagicBandsĭrawn to Life is Cirque du Soleil’s 50th production, and it celebrates Disney’s extraordinary legacy in the art of animation, from the earliest pencil sketches to the spellbinding spectacles of today.
