turning into a Genie bunny, I've started to animate that.

In this collaboration

between Cirque de Soleil

and Walt Disney Animation Studios

and Walt Disney Imagineering

is very, very unique.

The fact that you've got these three great creative entities

creating a show together for the first time,

I think is something that audiences have never seen before.

The content itself that they've devised

is very, very moving.

I'm trying to find ways that the animation helps define it,

even though the show will certainly be using

existing pieces of animation,

not just full color, by the way,

but also pencil tests sequences,

which almost nobody gets to see the general public.

We are producing new animation to go here,

which is specific to

how the characters are going to relate

to the animated characters,

how things will interact.

So now this sheet is acting nutty

and of course it turns into the Genie, who's my guy

and he turns himself into a bunny.

It's brand new stuff that we're doing

for telling the story in this show.

I think the blending of live performance

and animation that's going to be in this show

is very, very unique

and I can't wait for the public to see it

because you've got everything that makes Cirque de Soleil

great in this show.

The fusion of the animation

and the live performer storyline

is blended so well.

It's like they were made for each other.
