Walt Disney Animation Studios continues a long tradition of experimentation and innovation in short-form storytelling with Malcon Pierce’s Versa, streaming Friday, March 27, on Disney+.
Pierce, a 16-year Disney Animation veteran, wrote and directed Versa — a powerful and profound story of loss, grief, and healing. In the short film, a young couple looking to start a family experiences a gamut of emotions as they embark on an ethereal and imaginative cosmic dance of life. The story comes from a personal place for Pierce and his wife, Keely Tateossian, and combines a multitude of artistic styles, bold imagery, and exciting effects.
