The windmill of the film is represented in a spectacular, churning, fast-moving double wheel structure. In a display of tenacity, perseverance and rise-and-fall motion, owls dreamed up by Julie’s imagination weather a storm using teamwork and courage to carry them through the powerful wind and rain that threaten their windmill home.
“The Old Mill” double wheel act is inspired by Walt Disney’s groundbreaking 1937 animated short of the same name, which is seen in projections throughout.
Five playful unicyclists representing the Blue Fairy of the classic Disney Animation film “ Pinocchio” appear to effortlessly float across the stage, performing synchronized stunts and individual tricks with pinpoint precision. Julie’s whimsical mood fixates on a mischievous marionette from a time-honored Italian fairytale. In the “Garden of Lines” unicycle act, Julie is swept into a wonderland of familiar shadows, shapes and outlines in an homage to cherished tales that inspire an animator.
