Monster Artists Take Over Blackpool Beach





MONSTER ARTISTS TAKE OVER BLACKPOOL BEACH


A team of artists create a record breaking sand picture on Blackpool beach to mark the start of the "Monster Summer of Movies" on the Disney Cinemagic channel.

Family movie channel Disney Cinemagic has created Britain’s biggest piece of beach art with a monster size picture to celebrate the start of the summer holidays and their “Monster Summer of Movies”.

The channel commissioned a team of ten highly skilled artists to create the sand picture of Sulley, the iconic character from popular film Monsters Inc., on top family beach - Blackpool.

The artists were undertaking a monster-sized challenge in their attempt to create a picture that spans 40,000 square feet – the equivalent to three Olympic sized swimming pools! And it was a battle against the elements, with the artists working from 4:30am to complete the picture before it was washed away by high tide at 10:45am.

John Lundberg from Disney Cinemagic’s team of artists said, “This was a monster challenge for the team – it was a big picture with a huge amount of detail required and it was a tight time frame, but we’re delighted that we did it!”

Councillor Mary Smith, the Mayor of Blackpool said; “We were delighted that Disney Cinemagic chose Blackpool Beach for this ambitious stunt. As families flocked to the sands today we hope they enjoyed the spectacle of the giant picture being created.”
