More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Steam from a school of painted clouds lifts as you step through a low-lit arch and into frames you thought only belonged on screen. Scenes swell around you: Mirabel’s Casita hums with color, Pride Rock rises in silhouette as the sun floods the plaza, and a city of anthropomorphic streetscapes from Zootopia folds outward. The exhibit stages animation as environment — not just art on a wall but sound, scale, and motion that invite you to move through the storytelling.
