Apple Arcade x Disney melee mania

Let’s get ready to MELEEEEEE! We jumped into the ring with the power duo of Apple Arcade and Disney to create a trailer fit for an over-the-top gaming experience like no other. Where can you see Moana go toe-to-toe with Buzz? Or Timon dive-kicking Wreck-It Ralph? Taking inspiration from classic fighting games and the world of Wrestlemania, we developed a visual style that would reflect the excitement and energy of walking out on center stage. Energetic camera motion and dazzling lights evoke epic title bouts while our cast’s signature moves and playful personalities each get their moment to shine. It’s a flurry of character and fun that will have you rearing to get into the arena.
