The Magic of Animator’s Palate
Animator’s Palate has long been a favorite main dining restaurant on the ships of Disney Cruise Lineยฎ. ย Animator’s Palate serves up something more than just fine food: an innovative dinner show celebrating the art of Disney storytelling and animation, where many of your favorite Disney characters come to life right before your eyes.
On the Disney Wonderยฎ and the Disney Magicยฎ, Animator’s Palate features a spacious yet stylized dining room that recalls a real life hand-drawn environment, showcasing characters and scenes from classic Disney films adorn the walls around you. ย Throughout your meal, Disney character sketches located on the restaurant walls slowly transform from stark black and white to brilliant color, amid the familiar classic orchestral themes of Disney movies playing overhead.
On the Disney Dreamโข, Animator’s Palate is inspired by the magic of Disney animation, filled with everything you would expect to find inside an actual animator’s studio. Character sketches, maquettes, light boxes, paint brushes, colored pencils, computer work stations and other tools of the animation trade delightfully decorate the venue; and scenes and characters from popular Disney films adorn the wallsโcreating a one-of-a-kind experience sure to captivate the entire family. ย During the meal, characters from the favorite DisneyโขPixar film, Finding Nemo, magically appear swimming around the restaurant and interacting with guests.
The Animator’s Palate on the newest ship, the Disney Fantasyโข (scheduled to set sail in April 2012), the restaurant will feature a totally new experience for cruisers. ย Guests are invited to draw a character of their own using a simple template on their placemat. After dinner, animated curtains are opened on screens and Sorcerer Mickey conjures their drawings, which are fully animated and brought to life side-by-side with characters such as Mickey Mouse, Jiminy Cricket, Cinderella and Snow White in scenes from beloved Disney movies. At the end of the show, Mickey returns to say “so long” to the Guests while credits roll on screen showing each Guest’s name listed as a Guest animator. ย Check out this sample video of what Guests may see while dining at Animator’s Palate on the Disney Fantasyโข (actual animation may vary in final product).
