Disney/Barneys “Electric Avenue” Fashion Cartoon
Disney’s tie-in to Barneys holiday-themed Electric Holiday has yield this 5-minute promotional cartoon, meant to run at Barneys stores as video wallpaper to highlight their fall collection. Mickey, Donald and Goofy (not to mention Daisy, Tiana, and Cruella DeVil) appear in the short, framed as a Minnie Mouse fashion fantasy. Numerous international fashionista’s make cameos including Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker and Naomi Campbell. Michael Giacchino does the music. A brief behind the scenes video does not credit any animators or director – though Ken Duncan can be spotted if you don’t blink, so we can assume his studio did the work.
Barney’s is also selling lots of upscale expensive, exclusive merch. Meanwhile, check out these frame grabs (click to enlarge gallery) to see your favorite characters looking a little uncomfortable in the latest designs…
