Strictly Come Dancing kicked off Movie Week in style with an incredible routine which paid homage to Disney Pixar classics.
Kicking off with professional dancer Anton Du Beke as Mr Incredible, the first segment took viewers on a punchy, jazz routine inspired by Brad Bird’s 2004 classic.
The geared switched for balloons and slow dances to channel Up, with animated characters from the film even invading the screen between.

Lastly, introduced by Buzz Lightyear and Woody, was Toy Story – where the dancers dressed up as Bo Peep and the green bucket soldiers in a dance to Randy Newman’s You’ve Got A Friend In Me.
This year’s Movie Week features even more Disney too, with Neil Jones and Alex Scott performing to a track from Moana.
Other routines on the night included Will Bayley going all out to the Pokemon theme, while Michelle Visage channelled Liza Minnelli for a Cabaret-inspired routine.
Safe to say, people were bowled over by the Disney routine.
