YEAR OF THE NEW GENERATION TO DISNEYLAND PARIS: Interview with the Creative Director Kat de Blois

What is your assessment of the Travel Directory?
was really .... Magic! We have carried out no less than eight exciting projects. It was a lot of work and gave us the opportunity to use consultants from around the world. It was very rewarding. And who better than Mickey could have a party so big?

How did the idea germinated in the year of the new generation?
In fact, we wanted to associate this new wealth that represent the Disney films of the last ten years the idea of the festival. This idea came from discussions "Blue Sky" in which we go outside, such as the Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant, and it starts to dream of what might be do it again, to celebrate, translate and bring to life these wonderful films live in three dimensions, through our parks and interactivity with our visitors. Artists studios Disney invent all sorts of wonderful worlds and our role is to find ways to make them real. The word "festival" has also inspired many. For centuries, Europe is crossed and lively festivals of all kinds in the streets celebrating the culture of each country, each region and on our side, we wanted to celebrate this spirit in our stories and characters.


How did you choose the characters that would embody the year of the new generation ?
We have chosen in the spirit that we wanted to give our Festival. Take The Incredibles. They are super heroes, but at the same time, these are people who live normal lives like you and me. Somewhere, they show us that everyone can be a superhero. And the link between all these new characters and the classic is, of course Mickey and his friends, because as you know, "it all started with a mouse! . They have themselves met these new characters through the year of the new generation and wanted to share this experience with our visitors and other classic Disney characters. In this sense, we wanted our festival also speaks of another relationship, that of friendship. This is expressed in particular through the presence of Lilo and her unlikely friendship with an alien came from across the galaxy, Stitch! Similarly, you have the friendship between the adorable little Boo and the big monster from Monsters, Inc. Sulley.

You mention here the new show The Incredible Visit Disney park Disneyland.
Exactly. It was an opportunity for us to meet the characters that were not used to seeing on our parks. I was talking about Boo, but there's also Mike Razowski and Angel, Stitch's girlfriend. From the perspective of the creative process, it was a real challenge to combine for example the world of Buzz and Woody in Toy Story, Mickey and his friends, and develop a number that will allow you to immerse yourself in 2 minutes this world. Thus the dancers at their disposal toy boxes in which they will be able to draw new accessories to transform themselves and accompany Mickey and his friends in each different table.
We also worked the soundtrack. We used to music that are not necessarily music for musicals. Composers like Alan Menken and Phil Collins wrote the themes to be perfect staged. But it is more difficult with the music from Toy Story, for example, to the extent that they do not participate in the action film. Rather, they accompany. It was therefore necessary to make the music danceable and singable. To do this, we used a process called "Routining. This means that we will in the studio with the musical director. We're all standing around five bars of music already recorded, and movements in search for different musical accents.

You then find the Castle Stage, which opened last year with the show's Party Time ... with Mickey and his friends. What lessons have you taken a year of practice in this new scene like no other?
It is true that it is always nice to come back on stage and we know we wanted to strengthen this aspect Gras "360" by creating an experience in some way "ambulatory." This means that, not being seated as a theater, visitors can follow our show going around the stage. They can choose a character or a particular family and really follow their every movement on stage. By its nature, this scene naturally invites a degree of interactivity and gives you the freedom to choose what you want, when you want to see. In this spirit, we worked on timing, on elevators, escalators and effects to make visibility even better than last year, drawing on the behavior of spectators as we observed during the year earlier. That moreover not bad helped and guided to stage this incredible Visit Disney.

There was also a lot of work on the costumes, I think.
Imagine that for each table, specifically Mickey is dressed to party in every world that we are experiencing. Thus he spends Green Soldier costume for Toy Story to the Hawaiian shirt Lilo & Stitch, through the deck head of Ratatouille and the jacket of Dixieland The Princess and the Frog. We also worked on the costumes of dancers, plus accessories, badges and all sorts of little things that change very quickly on their T-shirt. In this way, the audience really feels the passage from one world to another because the audience can see these changes on stage, squarely before them. It was a real challenge for Sue Lecash and his team also modular design clothes, and find materials that can wear in all weathers, for all temperatures, with colors that remain vivid to live each universe.

How did you decline the concept the year of the new generation as different stories of the Disney parks, whether the Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios?
The idea is that all the characters of the new generation come to Disneyland Paris, but obviously not all in one place! They are thus "parachuted" in the middle of our usual activities. So if you see Disney's Stars'n'Cars - In car with Disney stars, a ride where the cars are the stars, you'll discover a whole new car, which is a kitchen made for walking Remy from Ratatouille, and c is a new opportunity for a small number to the Busby Berkeley on the Place des Stars! Side Princesses, Disney's Parade of Dreams was the best place to host Tiana, especially the chariot Dreams of Romance, which closes the parade in a wonderful garden where you can find all the Disney Princesses in the company of their Prince. And so it is naturally found there along with Naveen Tiana, New Orleans with a touch that is grafted in the music of the parade. Regarding the Express Train of the Stars Disney, which highlights all of our families favorite Disney characters, of course we have reserved a car specifically for this new generation. This car is therefore added to the VIP Disney, Goofy, Pluto, Chip & Dale and the others, and that of the new Disney Classic meeting between the generations.
Finally, we imagined Monsters, Inc. - The Academy scary!, A course of shock for all visitors wishing to meet both Sulli, shake hands and be photographed with him, but s' Try to Scream-o-meter, a concept that integrates seamlessly with the history of this park dedicated to the sound and special effects and receive a small badge "I cried with Sully!"

All of these events is also perfectly related to park attractions, starting with the long-awaited Toy Story Playland Park Walt Disney Studios.
You know, we are "one big, happy Disney family! We always work closely with our imagineers, but also with our friends in the catering department as the Restaurant of the Stars with Remy, or at Buzz Lightyear's Pizza Planet Restaurant Buzz Light year theme. There is always how to liaison with all divisions and all departments of Disney because everyone wants to join the party.

What is your favorite event this year the new generation ?
I dreamed for years: have a cancan on the music of Offenbach at the Chateau de la Belle au Bois Dormant! We designed a burlesque Cancan with giant vegetables around Remy and Emile, the kings of French gastronomy in Ratatouille. The chefs are then in a panic, trying to do everything at once: Cancan dancing and cooking! It was really fun to set up! And every time I see him, I chills!

year of the new generation started a few weeks ago. What are the first reactions you have identified in the parks?
We already have interesting feedback. Our visitors appreciate that they welcome this new generation of stories, characters and music. It is a celebration that will unfold over the next ten months, allowing you, going from one park to another, completely different experiences, new and always exciting.

Discuss New Generation is about the same time sharing between generations.
Our festival is for the whole family, from children to grandparents. Everyone has their favorite character and we imagined a festival where small could pull the handle of their grandfather to show their Buzz Light year, while their grandfather would speak of Peter Pan by showing that he knows everything both fly! By combining now the new Disney characters in our parks, our Festival unites all these stories from different times, for the sake of the whole family, in keeping with the ambition of Walt Disney to Disneyland, that is ie create a theme park where all generations can, together, have fun and share moments.
