Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a behind-the-scenes video showcasing the creation of a new nighttime projection show called The Curious Child. This innovative experience is located inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort and features whimsical shadow puppets that bring Grogu to life. The show, which runs for approximately three minutes, plays immediately after Shadows of Memory: A Skywalker Saga near the Millennium Falcon spires. Video Systems Design Manager KC explains that the team used physical cutouts and strategic lighting to create recognizable shapes including Grogu’s signature silhouette. This creative approach blends ancient storytelling techniques with modern projection mapping technology to produce a unique visual experience. The animation process utilized movement references from animators to ensure Grogu’s distinct personality shines through in shadow form. Guests can now enjoy this limited-time show that combines practical effects with digital innovation at Disneyland Park after dark.
