Feld Entertainment's action-packed ice spectacular, Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy, whisks audiences on a captivating adventure to four magical locations, including the auto-racing terrain of Cars and a visit to Andy's bedroom for some fun with the stars of Toy Story 3. This production delights audiences with a journey under the sea to Ariel's world from The Little Mermaid and then into the mystical land of Pixie Hollow for a presentation of Tinker Bell.
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.
The first act of the show is complimented with lighting that sets the tone for each scene with designs from Emmy Award®-winning Lighting Designer Peter Morse. Instead of one central theme, he created three different environments to help portray the various stories that are being told in the show.
The second act of Worlds of Fantasy brings together all the fun, humor and warmth of the beloved Disney/Pixar film Toy Story 3. Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the familiar gang hit the ice for the ultimate Toy Story experience. A completely different creative team put together the lighting, costumes and tailor-made choreography for this high energy segment of the production.
Worlds of Fantasy offers the perfect combination of elements for fans of Disney On Ice. "From the contemporary feel of Cars and Toy Story 3 to the timeless quality of The Little Mermaid and Tinker Bell, audiences will see four completely different Disney worlds brought to life," says producer Kenneth Feld. "All of this provides a value that is truly unparalleled in the world of live family entertainment. More than ever before, there's something for everyone."
