DISNEYLAND CALIFORNIA
Pixar Play Parade Will Bring Bubbling Interactive Fun To Disney’s California Adventure Beginning March 14, 2008
All the exciting and colorful worlds of the Disney/Pixar pals - from "Toy Story," "a bug’s life," "Monsters, Inc.," "Finding Nemo," "The Incredibles," "Cars" and "Ratatouille" - will come to life in the all-new "Pixar Play Parade," debuting March 14, 2008, in Disney’s California Adventure as part of the Year of a Million Dreams celebration at Disneyland Resort.
Characters from every Disney/Pixar motion picture will appear in the magical immersive parade, which will invite guests of all ages to take part in the playfulness of a whirling, spinning, fun-for-all animated playground. The parade features acrobatics, bungees, high-energy choreography, interactive surprises and lively bubble and water effects.
"Pixar Play Parade" features a dozen parade floats up to two stories tall, themed to Disney/Pixar movies and equipped with fun and surprising movement and effects. The cast and crew number more than 100, and behind the scenes is a creative team of top entertainment professionals including Emmy-nominated director Fred Tallaksen (a choreographer for Madonna and numerous television and stage productions), puppet designer Michael Curry (of "The Lion King" on Broadway), costume designer Mirena Rada ("Avenue Q") and composers Matthew Girard and Robbie Nevil ("High School Musical").
Girard and Nevil composed brand new tunes for Pixar Play Parade, including the "Countdown To Fun!" theme, which brings the show to life as it travels through Disney’s California Adventure.
Encouraging everyone to dance, play and clap along, Mike, Sulley and their monster buddies from "Monsters, Inc." will lead the procession. Even sourpuss Roz will put in an appearance - and what an appearance! She’ll be the drum major, slithering her way down the parade route.
Next up is a flowerbed of hopping, swinging bugs: the colony from "a bug’s life." Then "The Incredibles" will zoom into view, superhero style, aboard amazing hovercrafts. But watch out! The sinister Omnidroid is on the loose and baby Jack-Jack could burst into flames at any moment!
From there it’s into the bubbling world of Dory, Marlin, Crush, Bloat and the colorful underwater friends from "Finding Nemo," who invite everyone to "play in schools" (schools of fish, that is). "Ratatouille’s" Remy and Emile are serving up fun, too, turning their kitchen into a super soapy pool of creativity with kids and families as the main ingredients.
Woody and the "Toy Story" gang arrive next to encourage guests to kick up their heels, while Buzz Lightyear and the Little Green Aliens celebrate just how "universal" play can be, in any galaxy. Finally, after the parade has been revving up guests throughout the route, lovable Mater and his flashy buddy Lightning McQueen from "Cars" will bring up the rear. (Source: Press Release, 03/10/08)

An All-New 'Playhouse Disney Live On Stage!' Show Will Entertain Young Fans At Disney's California Adventure
A whole new cast of friends from "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," "Little Einsteins," "Handy Manny" and more welcome children and their parents to the all-new "Playhouse Disney Live on Stage!" debuting March 14 at Disney’s California Adventure. An exciting combination of live performers, amazing puppetry, projections, moving scenery and marvelous special effects create a show where guests will clap, dance and sing along with some of the most popular characters in children’s television.
In addition to the bubbly, breezy effects, music fills the air as youngsters join the gang in singing along with the catchy tunes that make "Playhouse Disney" such a fun place on morning television. During the Year of a Million Dreams celebration at the Disneyland Resort, young guests at "Playhouse Disney Live on Stage!" will be immersed in the interactive magic as their "Playhouse Disney" pals create the best birthday party ever for Minnie Mouse.
The 23-minute stage show begins as Casey, the enthusiastic host of "Playhouse Disney," and Mickey Mouse bring the guests to visit the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, where everyone helps prepare for Minnie Mouse’s birthday celebration. The gang shares tales of friendship and teamwork as they encounter their favorite characters from the popular television shows that are big hits with preschool audiences.
The stars of the entertaining new show at Disney’s California Adventure are characters from Disney Channel’s hit Playhouse Disney programming block:
* "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" - The ever popular Disney characters - Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and the ever-silly Goofy - pop out in new life-like animated puppetry for young audiences at the show.
* "Little Einsteins" - Leo, Annie, Quincy and June use music - and the audience - to help their pal, Rocket, battle his friendly rival, Big Jet, in a high-speed rocket race to the finish line.
* "Handy Manny" - From his first Hola, Handy Manny and his handyman tools are front and center for yet another busy day of helping his friends. When the bubble-making machine conks out on stage, Handy Manny and his animated tools save the day.
"Playhouse Disney Live on Stage!" first premiered at Disney’s California Adventure in April 2003 and has been wildly successful ever since. New characters have been added over the years, but the show was completely revamped for this production. Hundreds of guests per show will be entertained by an all-new storyline presented with a skillful combination of live performers and puppetry. Performances will be presented several times daily in the park's Hollywood Pictures Backlot. (Source: Press Release, 03/10/08)
