Magic in the Animator's Palate Restaurant aboard Disney Cruise Line's
Ship - Disney Fantasy (Ingenious use of Technology)
Animator's Palate
on the Disney Fantasy brings the visual joy of Disney animation into the
dining room with a new show called "Animation Magic." Guests are
invited to draw a character of their own using a simple template on
their placemat. After dinner, animated curtains are opened on screens
and Sorcerer Mickey conjures guests' drawings - now fully animated and
brought to life side-by-side with characters such as Mickey Mouse,
Jiminy Cricket, Cinderella and Snow White in scenes from beloved Disney
movies. At the conclusion of the show, Mickey returns to say "so long"
to the guests and, as he does, credits roll onscreen showing each
guest's name listed as a guest animator.
Comments from the Thea Awards Committee:
Delightful image
capturing and video magic have made it possible for a guest's sketch to
come to life moments after being drawn. The amazing animation, from a
simple face expression to a complicated dance step, is made possible in this ingenious use of technology. Everyone from Grandpa to a child
can be an "Animator" and see their drawings come alive. A refreshing
new take on "interactive" without the typical monitor screen.
