Donald Duck and the famous characters of Duckburg were celebrating their anniversary and, as a special surprise,
I developed the idea of animating a different kind of comic with real kids. The storyline centers around a mysterious parcel that falls from the sky. All the characters are after the parcel, without knowing what’s inside…For me it was an image similar to chasing the end of the rainbow to find the pot of gold. Everyone wants to find it, but no one will ever know if it really exists…To give the story a comic-strip look, we shot the entire sequence in stop-motion and asked people of all ages to dance the main choreography with us.
