Fans of the hit Pixar film Turn red will be happy to know that Mei and her friends have taken over both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in a big way.
During Pixar Fest at Disneyland Resort, the Turn red the crew brought 4*City in the spotlight for jaw-dropping moments that will put you on your feet. First of all, during the day you can observe them on their own tank in the Better Together: A Celebration Among Pixar Friends parade at Disney’s California Adventure. We finally see red panda Mei, she performs “Nobody Like You” with 4*Town and her best friends – even Mei’s dad in the cardboard red panda costume gets in on the action. It’s exciting to see Disney leaning into its own boy band fandom. Take a look below to see the Turn red The allegorical float in action!
Then at night, Turn red is presented twice during Together Forever: A Pixar Nighttime Show. The first segment features Mei’s introduction with friends and her red panda transformation practice under fireworks; it’s so cool to see a kaiju sized panda Mei on the The Sleeping Beauty castle and a welcome addition to the show.
“Together forever is a story about meeting new friends. It’s about taking those friends and going on an adventure. And it’s about overcoming adversity together,” said KC Wilkerson, lead media designer for Disney Live Entertainment at Disneyland Resort and show director for the return of Together forever. He noted that Turn red‘s story was perfect for the parade theme and wraps it all up in the film’s second appearance in the series. “We also changed what we call the exit of the show: we changed the song so that we could enjoy an instrumental version of ‘Nobody Like You’ by Turn red” Wilkerson said. And it’s such a sweet moment to wrap up.
Celebrate Pixar Festival at Disneyland Resort From April 26 to August 4.
