Pixar Wows With Themed Lands At Disney Parks

The ambitious La Place de Rémy in Disneyland Paris is much more than a collection of Ratatouille attractions. It is an immersive experience that transports you to the Paris that was seen in the film, from the Parisian streets, to the kitchen that Remy cooks in, to the restaurant where his family and friends dine. In the final part of our exclusive interview with Roger Gould, the creative director of Pixar’s Theme Parks Group, he describes how Pixar’s films have been turned into groundbreaking lands at Disney Parks and what it takes to bring them to life. Read the interview after the break!

The Story Of The New ‘Ratatouille’ Ride And Restaurant

In Part 1 of my interview with Roger Gould, creative director of Pixar’s Theme Parks Group which just oversaw the opening of the Ratatouille plaza in Disneyland Paris, he described the behind-the-scenes development of the exciting new addition. In Part 2, after the break, he speaks more about the technology as well as the story of the headlining attraction, Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy, and the restaurant, Bistrot Chez Rémy. Although visiting the park is second to none, in terms of experiencing the ride, there is something special about being walked through an attraction by one of those responsible for it. Check out Part 2 of our interview here!

Dreaming Up New ‘Ratatouille’ Land In Disneyland Paris

Dreaming Up New ‘Ratatouille’ Land In Disneyland Paris

La Place de Rémy at Disneyland Paris’ Walt Disney Studios park, inspired by the world of Ratatouille, is one of the most ambitious Pixar projects we have seen to date inside of a Disney Park. Following the tremendous success of Cars Land at the Disneyland Resort in California, it has quite the reputation to live up to, but after its grand opening to the public last week, signs are pointing to another great development from the Disney and Pixar collaboration. Inside the mini Ratatouille land, you will find stunning architecture that is pulled right from the film, an attraction that shrinks you to the size of a rat and places you in the chaotic world of a chef’s kitchen, and a restaurant themed in a way that further immerses you into Remy’s world. I had the opportunity to speak in-depth with Roger Gould, the creative director of Pixar’s Theme Parks Group, about the development process and the land’s unique details. Go inside the mind of Gould and get a closer look at La Place de Rémy after the break!

  • A new Onward poster was released today! Onward is Pixar’s “suburban fantasy adventure” starring Chris Pratt and Tom Holland. Also, a pair of pants. When the Lightfoot brothers try to bring back their father, who they lost years ago, the magic goes haywire and only half of their father has returned. The story of the film centers on the characters racing against the clock to reunite with their dad. I can already feel the tears!

  • “Our mission with Andy is complete.” That line from Toy Story 3 has stuck with me for almost a decade now. It made me think of all the toys I’ve left behind throughout my life. The Toy Story films have deeply increased my feelings of guilt toward the toys that I stopped playing with or gave away. Still, the message in Toy Story 3 was that your relationship with the toys may change, but the simple act of finding a new home for the toys could give so much meaning to other people’s lives. Now, I refuse to throw away toys - I either keep them for myself, give them to my daughter, or find them a new home. 
I really do feel that these films have changed people’s lives. I have to imagine there are many other people out there who second-guess throwing toys in the trash and instead give them to others who can create happy memories. 
Thanks to Disney for sending these toys my way to help me tell my toy story!

  • “I love you, Giggle McDimples!” - my daughter, reminding me why she’s the cutest. I bought her this Giggle McDimples toy weeks before she had even seen Toy Story 4. Usually, she doesn’t like playing with toys based on characters she’s never seen before. BUT, the second that she saw Giggle, she wouldn’t put her down for hours. I would say there are a few reasons why: 
1) she loved the design of the character and the toy
2) that great personality brought to life by @allymaki.

I’m so glad that I captured this on video. Taking photos is wonderful but always remember to capture some videos of your life, too! There’s something special about moving pictures and audio that transport you back to that memory. If you have a toy story to tell or video to share, post it on your feed and use the hashtag #whatsyourtoystory!
