Lorenzo Cat

A Quick Intro to Disney Designer and Director, Mike Gabriel

Mike Gabriel’s 5-minute Lorenzo is available RIGHT NOW digitally -but will be available to purchase on Blu-Ray next week- in a collection of several Disney one-off shorts. One of the last 2D projects of the late-Eisner era, it blends traditional animation with digitally simulated computer animation on several shots - all composited together to create a painterly style.

Lorenzo was only barley released when it was finished. It was planned to be attached to The Coen Bros’ Ladykillers, only to have it dumped on screenings of Raising Helen instead (Disney still owes me time for the age-10 gamble I lost hoping my showing had Lorenzo attached.)
