Disney+’s new six-part original Series Sketchbook will give “an insider’s look into the animation process” as studio artists teach viewers how to draw Disney characters like Kuzco (Emperor’s New Groove), Olaf (Frozen), Genie (Aladdin), Captain Hook (Peter Pan), Mirabel (Encanto), and Simba (The Lion King).
The series is produced by Supper Club (Netflix’s Chef’s Table, Ava DuVernay’s 13th) in partnership with Walt Disney Animation Studios. It launches April 27.
Disney describes it as “an intimate instructional documentary series,” with each episode focusing on a single artist illustrating a character that either they helped create or inspired them to want to be an artist at Disney. The series will also explore the lives of each artist and how they made their way to the studio.
