Not to mention the drones, operated by the resort’s official technology provider Dronisos, which will form 3D figures in the sky above the castle creating a unique visual experience at Disneyland Paris. “Disney Tales of Magic” will redefine the magic of Disney and Pixar storytelling through a one-of-a-kind technological display. This complex show programming required over 17,500 hours of work, leveraging the most advanced 3D technologies. To achieve this unprecedented projection quality, Disneyland Paris teams have enlisted the expertise of London-based NorthHouse, to help bring the show’s immersive visual experiences to life with a new level of artistry and innovation.
