What you’re watching is a digital character projected on stage as a 3D hologram.

Pretty amazing stuff!  How soon before Disney ditches the skaters in character costumes and does a fully animated “Disney on Ice ”  with digital characters skating all over the rink doing amazing, impossible stunts?

Plus, Disney would have the added benefit of skaters/characters that never get tired, don’t need rehearsals, and never miss a move or jump.  And these performers will be the actual characters!

No need to move performers from city to city.  No hotel costs and no airline travel costs.  Just send musicians for the live performance element and workers to set up technical equipment and stages.

But skaters dressed up like Cinderella, Goofy, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck will no longer be needed.  The actual cartoon  digital version will now take center stage!

And just think, since it’s all digital, no need for ice, either!
