An animated mini-movie by Client Liaison will be shown on the Sydney Harbour Bridge this New Year's Eve. 

As news.com.au reports, the film, inspired by Icehouse's iconic 1982 track, Great Southern Land, will screen on the Harbour Bridge pylons at 11pm on Monday ahead of the midnight fireworks display.

Meanwhile, the famous NYE display will also include gold, silver and purple fireworks as tribute to late music icon, Aretha Franklin.

To coincide with the 2018 theme of The Pulse Of Sydney, the tribute will also feature the soul legend's hit single, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

"New Year's Eve is a perfect time to reflect on the year that's been and it's an opportunity to honour artists that have passed such as the much-loved Aretha Franklin," City of Sydney spokeswoman Anna McInerney said.

It follows Franklin's passing in August following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

More than one million people are expected around Sydney Harbour during NYE celebrations. 

"... With the eyes of the world on you, you have that extra edge to it that you think, 'Ok, each year we do need to really make it the best show,'" McInerney said.

"... The theme of New Year's Eve this year is the pulse of Sydney and there's no doubt about it, there's this vibe and buzz and atmosphere in Sydney during summer, that you just don't get it anywhere else in the world."
