Myth is very much inspired by Fantasia.

All those 2D films I loved watching growing up.

Fantasia, in particular, because it's so tied to music.
So it feels very much like a visual poem in a way.
[woman] Disney has always been sort of at the forefront
of the combination of technology and art.
All the other foliage is parented to the regions, right?
Brittney Lee is a production designer and visual development artist
here at the studio.
Brittney's a rock star.
[Lee] I do sculptural stuff with paper, and so I feel like a lot of the stuff
that I learned in kindergarten I'm definitely still using,
whether it's my love for Disney films or cutting and collaging paper.
[Gipson] Jenn Lee was like, "I want you to think about doing something for Frozen
that works in VR and our audiences will be excited to be in."
We start in this cabin in the Frozen world outside of Arendelle.
[Lee] And then we move into an even more fantastical kind of storybook world
that is the forest.
We're trying to go as stylized and push it as far as we can.
Being an architect, I love space and how space can tell stories.
It goes back to Disneyland where you're in this world,
and that's what Walt wanted--
He wanted to take you into the worlds of the films.
We really tried to bring that heritage of Disney animation
into a new technology, a new medium like VR.
The studio was really interested in,
how do we share these stories, these characters, these worlds
with our audiences?
And so I'm so excited that we have this version of Myth on Disney+
for those that don't have a VR headset.
And I hope that it feels, in a way, nostalgic,
but something that you feel comfortable watching.
Like, "Ah, this is rooted in the tradition of Disney animation
but feels so different and new."

[man] Come on, you two. Let's go inside. It's getting cold out.
-[woman sighs] -[boy giggles]
[sighs] It's nice and warm in here.
-[old woman coos] -[children laugh]
-[man chuckles] -I made your favorite cookies.
[man] Ooh.
Only one.
-[girl] Mmm. -[old woman chuckles]
I, uh... [chuckles] I told them they could have one story before bed.
-[boy giggles] -[woman] Oh!
[man] Ah! [laughs]
Tell the story about the horse again.
[boy] And the giants!
-[laughs] Okay. -[man chuckles]
[woman breathes deeply]
"From a magic as old as the glaciers
were born the spirits of air, fire, water and earth.
Our world enjoyed a time of harmony,
the spirits keeping each other in balance."

[woman narrating] "Over time, a fifth spirit was born.
The human spirit."

"Together they created a dazzling harmony, and our world danced.
But even one spirit out of sync can cause chaos.
The fifth spirit lost its rhythm, and the harmony was broken.
The elements raged out of control."
[explosion]
"Our world was fractured.
When the chaos finally fell silent,
the spirits had vanished, never to be seen again.
But it is said that if the fifth spirit can find its rhythm,
the others will return...
bringing with them that beautiful harmony,
and the world can dance once again."
