In what may be one of the most unexpected IP-infused festivals at any Disney Park, Disneyland Paris is celebrating the release of the CGI remake of The Lion King with an entire festival this summer. Disney has just announced that Disneyland Paris will premiere a special making-of feature that takes you behind the magic of The Lion King & Jungle Festival, this Friday on its YouTube channel.
A team of three journalists spent the past six months following the cast and crew of the new festival, filming everything from initial development and creation of the season concept all the way to opening day just a few weeks ago.
For the first time, Disney fans will have the chance to see how the shows were created, including music recordings, rehearsals and set and costume design. You’ll even have a chance to see how the one-of-a-kind merchandise and food and beverage was developed to extend the celebration of this new season.
Take a look below for a sneak peek at the feature, and tune in this Friday to discover the magic yourself! The Lion King & Jungle Festival is only at Disneyland Paris now through September 22.
