Fun facts about ‘Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!’
- The parade kicks off with an oversized version of the iconic Pixar lamp, adorned with stickers from films such as “Coco,” “Soul” and “Turning Red.”
- The “Turning Red” float features appearances by 4*TOWN, Meilin Lee’s father and her friends. Plus, Mei appears in her giant red panda form.
- Luca and Alberto from “Luca” appear in this parade in their part-human, part sea-creature forms with blue-green scales and fins as they move between their two worlds. Their float is accompanied by performers on beach cruiser bicycles, who channel the sunny, carefree spirit of Portorosso.
- The “Soul” float features Joe Gardner’s music students holding a big jazz jam session to celebrate their beloved teacher. The float is adorned with music notes that make up the actual musical track for the song that the class is performing.
- The parade’s musical score includes fresh compilations of songs from Pixar films, including a melodic version of “Spirit of Adventure” from “Up,” a jaunty Italian tune from “Luca” and a finale track that blends the iconic “You’ve Got A Friend In Me” from “Toy Story” with “If I Didn’t Have You” from “Monsters, Inc.”
- The parade reaches a crescendo with a medley of fan-favorite characters. Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible and Frozone lead the way on hovercraft vehicles, followed by other Pixar dynamic duos like Sulley and Mike Wazowski, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie, and Miguel and Dante. In the fun-filled finale, Woody rides by in a toy truck and waves to friends for a fond farewell.
