“Drawn to Life” a new show by Cirque du Soleil will open at Disney Springs on Nov. 18.

“We are so looking forward to unveil this beautiful, long-awaited creation to the public,” Daniel Lamarre, president and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.
“With its combination of Disney animation and awe-inspiring performances, “Drawn to Life” is a great addition to the Disney Springs entertainment lineup and perfect for all ages,” said Jeff Vahle, President of Walt Disney World Resort.
The story takes the audience on a live acrobatic journey telling the story of Julie, a determined girl who discovers an unexpected gift left by her Disney animator father: an unfinished animation. As she dives into the inner world of animation guided by a surprising pencil, Julie embarks on an inspiring quest filled with her childhood Disney memories. The story is driven by 10 unique acrobatic acts alongside animation from beloved Disney films as well as all-new animation created by Disney artists led by Eric Goldberg, best known for characters such as the Genie in the animated classic, “Aladdin.”
“I think guests will be amazed to see how the magic of Cirque du Soleil and the art of Walt Disney Animation Studios have come together to bring life to classic and current characters like Baloo, Baymax, and Cinderella in ways that no one has ever imagined,” Goldberg said.
“It was an honor to have the opportunity to interpret the spectacular works from Disney’s catalogue of animation into a live show and we couldn’t be more proud of this production,” explained Diane Quinn, Chief Creative Officer Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group.
“Drawn to Life” is the 50th production created by Cirque du Soleil and its premiere coincides with the 50th anniversary celebrations at Walt Disney World Resort. With an international cast of 64 artists, “Drawn to Life” will perform Tuesday through Saturday at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort.
