Product Information

Throughout the years, Make-A-Wish has partnered with companies and organizations across the country to help transform wishes into reality. The Walt Disney Company is proud to be among those partners that aim to create real-life magic day in and day out. How Make-A-Wish and The Walt Disney Company work together to make magic happen Friday afternoon included two “dream parlors,” where small groups of Wish kids met with characters. One housed characters whom Disney calls the “adventure” princesses (plus Bruno from “Encanto”), and the other sported a “Frozen” theme. CG animators had to rebuild the character models for CGI characters from films created prior to Tangled (2010) due to updates made to animation technology over the years, with rigging and rendering being reworked so that they could be used with modern technology. [7] The CG animators worked closely with the hand-drawn team, with Goldberg and Feliciano, the latter a fan of Aladdin since childhood, inspecting the short to determine whether a scene would be led by a hand-drawn or CG character, after which they would evaluate whether a hand-drawn or CG character should be animated first in the scene. [7] Animators with experience in hand-drawn and CG animation, such as Tyler Pacana and Anthony DeRosa, worked on scenes combining both formats; Pacana used a technique named "2D puppetry" to help rig the final photo shot.

Emma carries the sword from her vision as she, Regina, and Hook cross the Storybrooke cemetery at night. The latter asks the Mayor if her vault has something to destroy the weapon. She replies that they don't want to end it - they want to understand it. Hook protests that it is fate to kill Emma. They have to figure out who that is. "And then we can worry about destroying things," Regina adds as the trio treks. They stop when they find the Evil Queen kneeling before Robin Hood's grave. An offended Regina screams for her other half to get away from him. The Queen, startled, rises and denies desecrating Robin's final resting place. She "loved" him too, after all. To that end, the tech team leveraged a digital drawing innovation from the Oscar-winning shorts “Paperman” and “Feast,” along with the watercolor CG short “Far From the Tree.” All three used the Academy Sci-Tech award-winning Meander system, which allows you to art direct, frame-by-frame, where you want the line art to be. There were also other hand-crafted advancements developed for “Wish” to get the watercolor look, including compositing accurate 2D representations of the artwork. “Frozen” production designers Michael Giaimo, David Womersley, and Lisa Keene took a deep dive into the illustrated inspirations for classic Disney fairy tales for this digital re-imagining. We’ve been granting wishes alongside our friends at Make-A-Wish for more than 40 years now, and it’s one of the traditions I’m most proud of. We’ve granted more than 150,000 wishes together – a number that grows every day. In fact, we’re already planning our next wish-granting events at Aulani, A Disney Resort and Spa and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.In true Disney fashion, this Presentation Press Day for Wish and Once Upon A Studio was truly a magical experience. As a big Disney fan (I learned to walk at Disneyland), I felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster seeing these heartfelt homages to Walt Disney’s work, as well as the special artifacts from my favorite childhood films! I particularly loved Once Upon A Studio with its emotional nod to Walt Disney and ode to its prior animated films, so I know I’ll definitely be tuning in when it airs. I also loved what I saw from Wish and think that it has the potential to become an iconic classic as well – with some incredible music and ornately lush production design, I really can’t wait to watch more! All in all, I had so much fun at the event and am excited to see what others think when they see these fun Disney projects. Every second of this event was pure magic, and I haven’t stopped smiling since. One of my favorite parts was seeing Mikayla’s wish come true, our 150,000 th Disney wish granted through Make-A-Wish. Mikayla is a 17-year-old from Palm Beach Gardens who began her battle fighting cancer three years ago. She wished to perform at Disney, and that wish came true in a royal way when she took the stage during the ball for a special singing performance alongside Belle and The Beast from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” Disney is the largest wish granter in the world, and over our more than 40-year relationship, we’ve granted some pretty incredible wishes together,” said Leslie Motter, Make-A-Wish America President and CEO. “Whatever Disney does, they go all out. I can’t wait to see the new happy memories Scarlett and our other attending wish families will be able to make at what is sure to be an unforgettable event.”
