Fabula, a nature-themed 4D theatre attraction created in partnership with Aardman Animation, has opened at Efteling, a fantasy theme park in the south of The Netherlands.
Replacing PandaDroom, a theatre and restaurant attraction developed in partnership with the World Wild Life Fund, Fabula features a larger restaurant with more seating and a new menu and takes guests on an adventure with an inquisitive squirrel and a grumpy young bear, as they discover different animal habitats around the world.
The film was created by Aardman Animation, the award-winning animation studio behind beloved classics Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run and Shaun the Sheep, and is the first film that the studio has created a film for a theme park.
Speaking at the opening, Efteling CEO Fons Jurgens said: "Working with Aardman on Fabula has allowed us to combine the latest in film and animation technology with a humourous and dynamic film that also teaches important moral lessons as well as a new hospitality concept."
Heather Wright, executive director of Partner Content at Aardman, said: "This is Aardman's first major piece of original content for the theme park environment, bringing our unique skills of storytelling with brand new characters to a fresh audience. We have relished the challenge of combining humour, emotion and drama with 4D effects in this exciting experience."
