Disney's Hollywood Studios will host a new stage show this summer - "The Music of Pixar LIVE! A Symphony of Characters."

This limited-time concert event will showcase memorable music from Pixar Animation Studios films, complete with a live orchestra and appearances by beloved Disney•Pixar characters.

Starting May 26, “The Music of Pixar LIVE!” will be presented three times nightly at Theater of the Stars at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (following the regular daily performances of “Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage”).

The show will also feature highlights from some of Pixar’s greatest scores, from films like “Toy Story” to “Cars 3.” Guests can also expect appearances by Woody, Jessie, Mike and Sulley, the Incredibles and more.

This sounds so classy-hopefully they decide to add something like this on a more permanent basis.

I mean, it seems pretty obvious that it's a concert to me.

I'd have to mildly disagree. People go into a venue that has been associated with a stage show, expecting a stage show. They're not even given any humor or much of a chance to sing along like they've enjoyed in the Hyperion Theater. Maybe Disney should just promote it as a 'Concert' !

A friend of mine is a show runner on this. He thinks it's going to be replaced with a Star Wars show, and the musicians will be reutilized for holiday events later in the year. I think it closes the last Sunday in August (but I may be misremembering).

Will they keep this around through the fall/winter? Especially with GMR going down next month, it would be nice to keep around.

It's nice enough. Something different. I can see how it's not for some and they could find it boring. I agree with you

I watched it. It's unique and it's something additional... I can't complain.

I doubt I will be able to experience this, but I hope! If they were to do another orchestra experience like this, I would lose my marbles if they did Kingdom Hearts. WDW has pretty much denied the series exists save for that weird M&G in 2007. Ah well, I can dream...

To add onto this: the Inside Out score is terrific as well!

We were just there a week ago. We had Fantasmic Dining Package and they gave us this show too! It was great. Kids loved it. Army men were hilarious. Nice to see The Incredibles too.

Candlelight Processional doesn't start until after Thanksgiving.

Many in the orchestra will need to be in Epcot for the Candlelight Processional so I doubt it extends much later than August. IMO Injust can't imagine purchasing a dining package just to get reserved seats to this show. I love orchestral music and adore the Pixar soundtracks but I just don't see the need for reserved seating. Just book a regular ADR and then see the show. I don't think there will be much of an issue getting in. But that's just me.

The Pixar score & soundtrack is out of this world. From the Toy Story's The Cleaner to the overall score of Ratatouille. It's top notch stuff. Pixar's use of music to convey emotion like in Inside Out, or Up is phenomenal. Pair that with there being a great story. I think those who don't think of Pixar as having great music just haven't listened.
