2724360.jpgDisney Cinemagic created a record-breaking piece of beach art to launch their Monster Summer of Movies.

To celebrate the start of the summer holidays, the family movie channel commissioned a team of 10 highly skilled artists to create the giant picture of Monsters Inc character Sulley on Blackpool Beach.

The picture of the big blue beast was 40,000 square foot - the equivalent to three Olympic sized swimming pools.

The team started work at 4.30am to finish the picture before it was washed away by high tide at 10.45am.

John Lundberg from Disney Cinemagics 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 were 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.”

As well as Monsters Inc, the Disney Cinemagic Channel will be screening a string of family favourites throughout the summer holidays.
