Combining Disney characters with the world of high-fashion, the multi-tiered event features Electric Holiday windows at Barney’s flagship Madison Avenue store in New York, complete with a short film being touted as a “moving art video.” Disney reached out to The Rock Father with the full details this evening, including the entire, five-minute short, which can be viewed below, along with footage taken at the unveiling of the windows this week.
