DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
The Walt Disney Company has 100 years of magic under its belt, and its subsidiary, Pixar, has been cranking out iconic animated films since 1995.
Personifying inanimate objects, emotions, ghosts, and more, Pixar has cut to the core of our souls while mystifying us with high-tech animations. With the hit show “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!” as an Animal Kingdom staple, it’s clear that Disney Parks could always use more Pixar—especially more Pixar shows.
Disney is known for Broadway-caliber performances throughout its global Parks, and the prospect of a gaggle of Pixar stars taking the stage with a full-blown orchestra sounds like a Disney dream. It turns out that dream is becoming a reality at Disneyland Paris, and it’s taking the stage sooner than you think.
