Baymax Dreams of Fred's Glitch

SCL was delighted to work on this interactive short film that allows users the chance to scrub away the glitch - the elusive Gertrude - using touch-only in order to contain the threat and repair Baymax’s Programming. The Disney-made experiment is part of the New Frontier Alliance Showcase and is dedicated to cutting-edge forms of storytelling. Stellar Creative Lab is always looking for ways to push the envelope and be part of projects that test the boundaries of current technology. It was such an honor for us to be trusted with this popular Disney franchise and to be able to rig and animate using the art references from Disney. We were very proud of the work we did to keep the characters of Baymax and Fred in line with the look and vision that make them who they are.
  • Baymax Dreams, the second series of shorts,  mixed the show’s 2D animation with 3D animation created using Unity Technologies’ real-time rendering technology.

  • It was first screened on January 28, 2021, at the Sundance Film Festival

  • Fred’s glitching behaviour is similar to Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph
