From illustration to animation, they brought their characters to life with some much humor and truth, there was no other animators I could have chosen. Asterix and Obelix have been my childhood companions and its creators, Goscinny and Uderzo followed a path very similar to me. To produce my student presentation I was inspired to choose characters that I grew up with and mattered to me. The art that goes all around it is fascinating. It is hard for me to get curious about the works of a play but this really broadened my interest in puppet and props. I went on to watch a small documentary about the puppet and costume section of the show and was surprised to discover the little mechanics in each prop.
The use of puppets and masks was very predominant and got me really curious about the process. The stage moves, the grass is personalized by people, the masks are animated, the visions projected and the puppets are mechanized. Between the animals and the sets, it was hard to imagine how they could create it. Lion King has always been one of Disney’s Legends, but also I believe, one of the hardest one to translate into a live show. I was so amazed to discover the many ways they translated this motion picture into a theatre piece. The piece was visually so beautifully crafted that it inspired me. On November 24, I was lucky to go and watch the “Lion King” musical Lyceum Theatre in London.
