Tiana’s Bayou Adventure – Mama Odie
Everything from costumes and technology is meticulously designed to work together and exists in a shared space where you can walk from a fabric table to an animatronic testing station. For Disney, it was all hands on deck to insure Tiana would be as accurate to her world as possible. “This has been a long time in the making. We talk about costumes but this really is [about] something that sort of speaks to the era, speaks to who they are as characters. And we really wanted to kind of elevate that,” Robledo shared. “One thing that’s really special about these characters is that they come from the 2D world. The last project I worked on was The Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast in Tokyo, and that was the first time where those 2D characters were realized as 3D animated characters.”
