The tagline of Jack Rouse Associates is quite heartwarming:

Right now, somewhere in the world, we’re engaging a mind, creating a smile or touching a heart.

Their work on Universal Studios Florida’s “Fievel’s Playland” is particularly stunning. It is a star that stands out above other designs, with its cleverness and intricate, playful detail.
