Disney+ and Walt Disney Animation Studios Launch ‘Zenimation’

“Zenimation,” which pays tribute to both the visual and sound artists who have created Walt Disney Animation Studios’ legacy of films, is now available on streamer Disney+ as a self-described “animated soundscape experience.” The logline: Whether it’s baby Moana being called by the ocean, Anna and Kristoff walking through an icy forest, or Baymax and Hiro Hamada flying over San Fransokyo, these iconic scenes become an aural experience like no other with the sounds of ocean waves, an icy forest and soaring flight.

“Zenimation” is created and edited by David Bess. All 10 episodes are now available for streaming, with the episode rundown as follows:
