NEW Pixar Fest Parade Announced
As part of Pixar Fest, there will be new and returning entertainment options coming to Disneyland! Returning to Disneyland Park is “Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular,” which highlights the bond between Pixar friends with musical themes from the movies, with some new scenes added.
A new Pixar Fest entertainment offering will be a daytime parade coming to Disney California Adventure called “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration.” You can see the concept art Disney shared for this below, depicting what appears to be the intro of the new Pixar Fest parade with the Pixar lamp covered in stickers and performers in fun, vibrant attire.
Disney also shared some concept art of one of the parade's floats featuring Panda Mei waving to the crowd.
The new Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration! will run twice a day, featuring high-energy dancing and appearances from over two dozen Pixar characters from “Luca,” “Soul,” “The Incredibles,” “Turning Red,” “Coco,” “Toy Story,” and “Monsters, Inc.”
During the parade, you can expect to see Red Panda Mei and her friends rocking out to their favorite boy band 4*Town, Joe Gardner and 22, Luca, Alberto, and Giulia, and more. In the grand finale, guests can see Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, Miguel, Mike and Sulley, and Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear. This is a great mix of characters, and we're excited to see the parade come to life!
