Wacky Wednesdays: The One Man Disney Show





The video that first got me amazed today is by this guy named Nick Pitera who put up a "One Man Disney Movie", a medley of Disney songs with different characters sung by him alone. Imagine the editing, recording and effort put in to this video where he sings as the hero, the heroin, the villian, the sidekick, and even doing his own backup vocals!

And guess what, Nick Pitera is not only a YouTube sensation, he's also an animator at Pixar!

Nick graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Animation and currently works at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville CA as a 3D modelor. His loves Disney like all of us, but he was able to move on from growing up with Disney into working in Pixar as an animator and not to mention having fame as YouTube artist because of this video below.



He uploaded his first YouTube video because he had to submit one for a singing competition; but it was his ability to sing the part of Ariel from The Little Mermaid perfectly that made him famous among youtubers.



I can't get enough of his rendition of Aladdin's "A Whole New World", especially when you just listen to it without watching the video, it feels like there are two people singing instead of one.

For more of Nick Pitera, you can check out his YouTube account. He sings anything from Lady Gaga to Mariah Carey, so you've got plenty to explore!
