Disney Animation remade three songs for ASL. For these, we resurrected the original data and pipeline version (which took a ton of work), reanimated (from near scratch in some places), relit where needed, and re-rendered. Probably the hardest way to do this, but definitely the right way to do it, so that's what we did!
No AI shortcuts or anything, just doing it properly all the way.

Analysis Summary
Disney Animation remade three popular songs (from Frozen 2, Encanto, and Moana 2) in American Sign Language as an upcoming Disney+ special debuting April 27, 2026. The team did extensive technical work reconstructing original animation data and pipeline to reanimate, relight, and re-render the sequences properly rather than using shortcuts. This represents a significant accessibility effort with Deaf West Theatre collaboration, giving deaf audiences full animated musical experiences rather than static interpretations.
