00:23 A huge inspiration for this film was Sleeping Beauty.
00:28 We really wanted to celebrate that watercolor style.
00:30 So, that's where it started.
00:31 Our incredible artists kept fine-tuning it and came up with the centrally quality to the film.
00:37 This is crazy.
00:38 We love crazy!
00:40 Wish has quite a few nods to our legacy.

00:49 Thanks for not eating me, John.
00:51 Don't mention it, Bambi.
00:55 I wish in the theater, it's such a gorgeous movie to watch.
00:58 To see that on the big screen, the rich watercolor style, the depth of it.
