Short film starring megastar shoe designer Christian Louboutin. Screened theatrically at publicity events and film festivals around the world, in Christian Louboutin stores everywhere, and on Disney’s digital movie platform Disney Movies Anywhere.
To celebrate the diamond edition release of Cinderella, Disney asked Louboutin to create a Cinderella-inspired glass slipper. In return, Christian wanted to fulfill a lifelong dream of appearing in a Disney movie like Bedknobs and Broomsticks (L’Apprentie Sorcière), his childhood fave.
Enter Blue Giant. Based on a story by David Jessen and Christian Louboutin, director M. David Melvin created a magically surreal short about Louboutin’s inspiration for the glass slipper.
Interesting factoid: During production, Europe was experiencing its coldest, wettest winter on record. Right before we filmed this shot, the sky magically parted, unveiling the first rays of sun in months. Though we suddenly had beautiful skies for the shot, we had to politely reposition, just out of frame, a few hundred Parisians basking in the sun on the Seine.
