Geppetto Software running on Microsoft Surface Studio.
Meet Brainy Smurf — live, unscripted, and ready to have a real conversation with you. Powered by Geppetto, every Smurf on stage is brought to life in real time. Every performance is completely unique, shaped by the guests in the room, the questions asked, and the moments only you can create. Step into Smurfs Village and become part of the story.
Live Performances
Guests get to have real, unscripted, one-on-one conversations with these fanciful creations.
Fully Interactive
Guests can even take control of the story; in the SpongeBob SubPants Adventure, guests tell Patrick where to navigate the sub next.
Amaze & Astound
Geppetto-powered experiences are entertaining for all ages; for youngest guests, they are simply miraculous.
Settle in for a voyage to Bikini Bottom — then get ready for Bikini Bottom to come to you. With Geppetto at the helm, the SpongeBob SquarePants Adventure blurs the line between animation and reality in ways you have to experience to believe. Patrick interacts directly with the audience, beach balls fly, surprises unfold, and the crowd becomes part of the show.
How it works
Breakthrough Technology
What was once the product of countless hours of work and hundreds of drawings is now available with a few clicks of a controller.
Live Animated Puppetry
Using custom software, the only of its kind, Geppetto allows a puppeteer to instantly bring a character to life, in real-time, in front of a live audience.
Easy-to-Use System
Geppetto's animated characters are designed with a variety of prerecorded movements that form the foundation for a living, breathing, fully believable animated character.
You've watched Donkey steal every scene. Now he's talking directly to you. Driven by Geppetto's live performance technology, Donkey Live! brings you face to face with one of animation's most beloved characters and makes you part of his world. A real, spontaneous, two-way conversation with an animated character that knows you're in the room. The story you grew up with just became yours.
