Immersive Disney Animation Singapore
Since its world debut in Toronto in December 2022, Immersive Disney Animation has already drawn
audiences across 13 North American cities and made an intercontinental splash in Tokyo. Now, this much-awaited
journey is about to hit South East Asia for the first time on 18th November 2023 at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay
Sands!
HIGHLIGHTS
The doors open up to a stunning 360-degree environment that will transport you into the world of Disney’s
storytelling. From classic hits to the latest blockbusters like Frozen, Encanto, Zootopia, and Big Hero 6, you can
journey through iconic scenes and meet the timeless characters.
The experience goes beyond mere visual delights. There’ll be lots of interactive elements too, including floors
that move with you as you explore the galleries, bubble snowfall, wristbands that light up in different colors, and
more. Of course, children will be provided with protective gear when they are exploring with parents.
It is also a hands-on adventure that will ignite your creativity and deepen your understanding of the art of
animation. Inside the gallery filled with rarely seen exhibits from the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, you
can discover animator’s character sketches and get to know some of the incredible animators behind Disney’s
legacy. There is also an interactive drawing table to try your hand at drawing your own cartoon characters and make
them move.

Mia, 12, is now on a year-long trip with her parents and three younger brothers. Far from their home in
Quebec, Canada, the family rode horses in Mongolia, kayaked in Cambodia, camped in Namibia and flew in a hot
air balloon in Turkey, looking to collect as many once-in-a-lifetime memories as they could.
The memories really matter because unless science makes a breakthrough soon, three of the children will
become blind, likely in adulthood. They have been diagnosed with a disease that has no effective treatment and no
specific timeline as it gradually robs them of their sight.
The diagnoses came in 2015. Despite the grief, the parents were surprised to find Mia, then 7, was calm about
it. She announced that she would need to start keeping her bedroom especially neat, with everything in its place.
“In the future, I’ll need to know where things are,” Mia said.
“She’s finding solutions on her own,” the parents told each other. “We need to follow her lead.” And so the
idea of a yearlong trip was born, one that would show the kids the world, in person and at close range – while the
kids could still see it. For the next two years, the parents saved money and researched places to visit. “How we
adults see the world and how kids see the world are so different.” says the mother, Edith. “It would have to be less
about temples and museums and more about whatever caught their eyes.”
By the time the trip began to wind down in early 2023, the family had traveled 52,000 miles and visited 18
countries. Mia grew taller and when entering adolescence, needed more independence. Her brothers became more
confident and outgoing. The kids were very aware that they had learned a lot. “There’s a lot of suffering, a lot of
poverty, but lots of good and interesting things too. We should be positive.” said Mia.
4. What’s the probable function of the first paragraph?
A. To lead in the story behind.
B

C. To provide background information.
D. To inform readers of a wonderful trip.
5. What can be inferred about the parents from paragraph 3 and 4?
A. They are optimistic about the children’s disease.
B. They are surprised at their daughter’s creative ideas.
C. They are proud of their daughter’s courage to face difficulties.
D. They are open-minded enough to respect their children’s decision.

In our human-centric view, the ability to shoot ink or change colors may seem odd, but you know what’s really
odd? Menopause (更年期). You can count species other than humans known to experience and outlive menopause
on one hand. Only Oracs (虎鲸) and some whale populations have females that live long past their reproductive
years to become grandmothers. But a new, landmark study confirms that at least one population of chimpanzees can
now be added to the list.
The discovery comes as the result of 21 years’ worth of observing the Ngogo community of wild chimpanzees
in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Studying urine from 66 Ngogo females, aged 14 to 67, showed that their hormone
levels changed after approaching 50, confirming they were in menopause. Interestingly, 50 is also the age when
many people begin to experience menopause. “It’s really cool to finally have that piece of the puzzle come into
