Drawn to Life Celebrates Second Anniversary with New Finale in Disney Springs
We were recently invited to check out the new finale for Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil in Disney Springs. Here are our thoughts on the new ending for this fan-favorite show.
“That’s something they’ll always remember for the rest of their lives.” This is a sentiment I often contemplate when witnessing the daily magic at Walt Disney World. Whether it’s an enchanting moment for my own children or a special experience for a guest, the allure of Disney is undeniable. “Drawn to Life” is no exception, as I discovered during a captivating performance with my 15-year-old daughter. Seated near an empty stage, our attention was drawn to a seemingly ordinary pillow that came to life, engaging the audience in a delightful interactive experience.

The pre-show unfolded with various performers, including an animatronic pillow and groups of entertainers, creating an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. The stage came alive with playful rubber band antics and interactive drawing sessions involving young guests and their mother. The connection established during the pre-show set the stage for an unforgettable experience.
As the main show commenced, I was thoroughly entertained by the skilled performers and aerialists. However, the true magic happened when I observed the show through the eyes of my daughter, an aspiring artist. The protagonist, Julie, resonated deeply with her, as both share dreams of becoming Disney animators. Julie’s journey, navigating challenges, embracing mistakes, and evolving as an artist, struck a chord with us, mirroring my daughter’s creative endeavors.
Each act conveyed valuable lessons about the artistic process. Aerial dancers symbolized the importance of trusting the creative journey, while tumblers in anatomy-based costumes illustrated the repetition required for seamless animation. The exploration of color, conveyed through acrobatics and the color wheel, provided insights into the vast spectrum of hues visible to the human eye.
The emotional climax featured Julie’s animated contribution to her late father’s project. The poignant scenes, depicting growth, challenges, and the embrace of mistakes, resonated deeply. The show concluded with a heartwarming sequence where Julie’s animated self takes flight, symbolizing her journey coming full circle. Like many Disney experiences, “Drawn to Life” left an indelible mark on the audience, prompting reflection on personal growth and shared memories.
In essence, “Drawn to Life” masterfully captured the essence of artistic expression, creativity, and the transformative power of embracing imperfections. As the curtains closed, it was evident that this enchanting performance would be etched in the memories of all who experienced it, embodying the enduring magic of Disney.
