Figment Stars in New 'How NOT to Draw' Short With Neil Patrick Harris Narration

An early YouTube drop introduces a new Figment voice with tributes to Journey Into Imagination.

Overview

  • The short is now streaming on Disney Channel Animation’s YouTube channel after arriving March 1, two days ahead of the previously reported March 3 date.
  • Neil Patrick Harris narrates the tutorial-style piece, interacting with Figment as drawings take shape on screen.
  • Coverage describes Figment’s voice as newly performed, with one outlet crediting A.J. LoCascio, marking a departure from longtime park voice Dave Goelz.
  • The video tucks in nods to every iteration of EPCOT’s Journey Into Imagination, including strains of One Little Spark, the Dream Mobile, glass pyramids, attraction footprints, Cat and Bat blocks, a plasma-ball science gag, and an Orange Bird cameo.
  • The release renews attention on Figment’s broader future, with past reports of a Point Grey film and Bob Iger’s 2025 comments pointing to potential series or short-form projects remaining unconfirmed.
