Drawn to Life: Cirque du Soleil

The Write-Up

The full story

Drawn to Life at Disney Springs blends Disney animation with Cirque du Soleil acrobatics in a breathtaking, nostalgic production. A larger-than-life animation desk anchors the staging, with aerial and acrobatic acts set to Disney music and familiar characters woven into the storyline. Guests call it the best of both Disney and Cirque du Soleil, and say there really isn't a bad seat in the house.
