The Universe of Disney

The Universe of Disney is an upcoming American animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, Neomis Animation Paris, Telecom Animation Film, Premise Entertainment, Walt Disney Animation New York, Walt Disney Animation London, and DisneyToon Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. A spin-off to 1940's Fantasia and Fantasia 2000.
The film's animation technique combines traditional hand-drawn animation (with digital ink and paint/animation using Toon Boom and Adobe Flash) and extensive use of computer generated imagery.
Most music is performed by the Disney Young Musicians Philharmonic Pops Orchestra (consisting of 146 young musicians ages 7 to 14 from across the United States of America, United Kingdom, France, Ireland, East Asia, and Australia), featuring special guest artists Vanessa-Mae, Lisbeth Scott, Renée Fleming, Carly Simon, and Buddy Watcher.
The film will be THX-certified and presented in IMAX 3D and Disney Digital 3D.
==Program==
*Forgotten Prisoner – Featuring Vanessa-Mae. Live-action shots of an illuminated orchestra playing the piece, backed by superimposed shadows. The number segues into abstract animated patterns, lines, shapes and cloud formations.
*The Sorcerer's Apprentice – A reboot segment featuring Mickey Mouse. Mickey brings a broom to life with the magical hat left by his master to carry water to a cauldron, but is in danger when he can't stop the broom.
*Noah's Ark
*The Greatest Hits of Popular Songs
*Viking War
*Primeval World – Based on a short attraction on the Disneyland Railroad at Disneyland in Anaheim, California and on the Western River Railroad at Tokyo Disneyland in Tokyo, Japan.
*Settings of Folk Songs
*Old MacDonald Had a Farm
*Bumble Boogie – A reboot of the second segment of Disney's 1948 (10th) animated feature film Melody Time.
*Bambi and the Spring Sprite – An all-new story featuring the Spring Sprite (from Fantasia 2000), her companion Bambi, Faline, the Great Prince of the Forest, Thumper and his sisters, and Friend Owl (from Bambi and Bambi 2), and the Headless Horseman (from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, segment of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad). The story may be considered an exercise in the theme of life-death-rebirth deities, as well as a stylized interpretation of Friday the 13th on the full moon, which occurred on Friday, March 13th, 1998, and the subsequent return of wildlife to the devastated region.
