LORENZO

U.S. Release Date: May 28, 2004

Director: Mike Gabriel

Producer: Baker Bloodworth

Walt Disney Pictures delivered one of its most artistically adventurous and exciting short films with the Oscar® nominated “Lorenzo.” Directed by Mike Gabriel (co-director on Pocahontas, The Rescuers Down Under), who also created the original story and served as production designer, this colorful animated romp centers on a pompous, pampered cat named Lorenzo who faces cat-astrophic consequences when his tail is hexed and develops a lively personality of its own. The film is based on an original idea by legendary Disney writer/artist Joe Grant, who designed the Witch/Queen character for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, co-wrote Dumbo, and worked at Disney until he was nearly 97 years old. Giving the film its terrific tempo is a tantalizing tango entitled “Bordoneo y 900,” performed by the internationally renowned Juan Jose Mosalini and his Big Tango Orchestra. The film, which combines traditional animation with innovative CG techniques, was animated in France by a team of top artists. Roy E. Disney (Fantasia/2000, “Destino”) and Don Hahn (Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, The Haunted Mansion) executive produced the film, while Baker Bloodworth closely guided the creative and technical teams in Paris and Burbank in his role as producer.
