DISNEY ON ICE WORLDS OF FANTASY
Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt
IS COMING TO SALT LAKE CITY FROM NOVEMBER 12TH – 16TH!
Stay tuned for a family 4 pack giveaway coming soon!
WHAT: Rev up for non-stop fun with four of your favorite Disney stories when Disney On Ice Worlds of Fantasy – Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt, comes to Salt Lake City playing the EnergySolutions Arena from November 12 – 16, 2014! This action-packed ice spectacular showcases beloved characters from Disney/Pixar’s Cars and Toy Story 3 and Disney’s Tinker Bell and The Little Mermaid.
The on-ice excitement begins when an adventurous Mickey Mouse embarks on a journey with Minnie Mouse to uncover each world of fantasy, but the plan goes awry when their cherry red roadster unexpectedly breaks down. Although Donald Duck and Goofy try, it takes the assistance of the coolest cars on the ice to get the pistons firing again. Direct from Radiator Springs, Mater, Lightning McQueen and Sally speed into action, zipping and zooming around the frozen highway in an effort to re-energize the roadster.
The life-sized Cars characters were developed by the innovative minds of the prop team led by Feld Entertainment Vice President of Scenic Elements Rick Papineau. Each car took 2,000 man hours to build and is outfitted with custom animatronics including blinking eyes and hydraulic lifts that bounce to the beat of the music. Mater and McQueen even come complete with moving mouths, enabling their dynamic personalities to shine through each time they speak. “The cars are going to be a big surprise because no one will expect them to be so animated, so large or so realistic,” says Papineau.
As Mickey and Minnie’s “road trip” continues, Production Designer Jeremy Railton’s whimsical scenery transforms the arena into an environment that captures the essence of each unique world to follow. Fluorescent coral and clam shell drums embody Ariel’s world in The Little Mermaid and audiences enter the colorful fantasy land of fairies for the Tinker Bell segment.
Railton took particular care with Pixie Hollow. “Audiences are still getting to know Pixie Hollow, so it was important to me to capture the lushness and the scale detailed in the film,” says Railton. Because fairies are miniature in size, Railton used inflatable technology to create a giant tree backdrop. In the finale, larger than life butterflies float onto the ice as oversized inflatable flowers bloom around the ice signifying the arrival of spring.
Disney On Ice Worlds of Fantasy is sure to please both boys and girls of all ages!
