Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Enchantment, Feld Entertainment's action-packed ice spectacular featuring four fun-filled Disney stories that showcase many of the beloved characters from Disney Pixar's Cars, The Little Mermaid, and Disney Pixar's Toy Story 3, along with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. Joining these cherished characters are the stars of Disney's Frozen.
Presented by Feld Entertainment Inc and leading local promoter, Showtime Management in association with DSTV, Worlds of Enchantment opens on Friday, 24 June 2016 at The Dome, Johannesburg and runs until Sunday, 03 July 2016. The production moves to the Grand Arena, GrandWest, Cape Town from Wednesday, 6 July 2016 to Sunday, 10 July 2016. Tickets are on sale now at Computicket.
Audiences will enter the fantastical wintery world of Arendelle with royal sisters Anna and Elsa from the BAFTA and Academy Award® winning and number one animated feature film of all time, Disney’s Frozen. Anna, a girl with an extraordinary heart, embarks on an epic journey with the hilarious snowman Olaf and rugged mountain-man Kristoff to find her sister, the magical Elsa, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.
“Our re-creation of Arendelle and the visual splendor on the ice sets the stage for the magical transformation from summer to winter,” says Producer Nicole Feld. “While it might seem obvious that Frozen is well suited for the ice, this Disney On Ice production will touch audiences emotionally through innovative show elements and world-class skating.”
In Radiator Springs, life-size Disney●Pixar’s Cars characters – Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater and the crew – take their high-octane personalities to the ice. Featuring state-of-the-art, custom animatronics, their eyes and mouths move with every twist and turn on the frozen highway. Mater has amusing antics in store as the Cars characters rock the ice with jumps, spins and freewheeling fun.
“Worlds of Enchantment connects classic and new Disney stories,” says Producer Kenneth Feld. “Audiences will be blown away in Radiator Springs when they encounter the unforgettable crew of animated cars, built to scale and live on ice. They will see their all-time favorites like The Little Mermaid and Disney●Pixar’s Toy Story 3 and discover a story full of action, magic and unforgettable characters with Frozen. ”
To produce Worlds of Enchantment, the Feld father-daughter duo called upon the talents of an incredible creative team consisting of Jay Smith (Director), Patty Vincent (Director Toy Story 3 and Frozen sections), Jerry Bilik (Writer/Adapter), Two-time Emmy® Award-winner Sarah Kawahara (Choreographer), Cindy Stuart (Choreographer – Toy Story 3 and Frozen sections), Cynthia Nordstrom (Costume Designer), Peter Morse (Lighting Designer), Alex Reardon (Lighting Designer – Toy Story 3 section), Sam Doty (Lighting Designer – Frozen section) and Jeremy Railton (Set Designer).Scott Lane (Costume Designer – Toy Story 3 section).
“Disney On Ice has become a staple Winter event on the South African entertainment calendar and we are seeing the audience grow year on year due to the quality of the various productions. In Disney On Ice presents World of Enchantment we are extremely lucky to have the smash hit story Frozen, together with other Disney classics such as The Little Mermaid, Toy Story and Cars. This is a spectacle not to be missed!” says Showtime’s Tony Feldman.
