The wait has been long. It seems like a long time ago that the Pixar World experience closed in Madrid after more than 600,000 visitors passed through the sets of the films of our childhood. But it is now when Pixar World finally opens in Barcelona with a great novelty that was not in previous exhibitions: Anxiety, the star character of Inside Out 2 will be for the first time in the experience along with Joy, Sadness and many other characters from the studio. Get your tickets here so you don’t miss out.
This experience, curated by Disney Pixar Animation Studios, brings more than one surprise to Barcelona. To go a step further in the immersion in Pixar scenarios, some of the spaces have the specific smells of each scene.
For example, the Finding Nemo room smells like the ocean, or the outdoor area of UP smells like freshly cut grass, while Flo’s V8 cafe (in the automotive world of Cars) has a new car scent. Can you imagine?
Thirteen movie sets
Pixar World is located in Westfield La Maquinista and brings with it one of the most fun surprises for fans: a viral challenge that has taken networks by storm. Visitors will be able to join the search for the mythical Toy Story ball, hidden in several scenarios of the exhibition . This iconic yellow ball with a red star, which has appeared in films such as UP and Finding Nemo, is one of Pixar’s most beloved easter eggs (and now, it is part of this immersive experience).
The exhibition features thirteen sets that recreate some of Pixar’ s most famous films, from classics like Monsters, S.A., to more recent ones like Luca and Elemental. It is, in short, a space-time journey to those moments we remember from each of the following films:
The experience kicks off with a big house: the facade of UP’ s flirtatious home that (balloons aloft) opens its doors to enter Carl’s living room. All the details of the movie are here, from the family photos, to the furniture or the books.
In one of the most Instagrammable rooms (and one that caused the most furor in Madrid), we will immerse ourselves in the Toy Story universe and rediscover the magic of childhood as we move through Andy’s room, surrounded by our favorite toys that come to life when we are not looking. That’s right: at toy size. Here we will be petit petit.
We will visit Flo’s V8 café with Lightning McQueen from Cars. Also, on the set of Inside Out, we will be able to explore the fascinating world of emotions in Riley’s mind. Or the kitchen of Gusteau’s restaurant from Ratatouille, where we can experience on a rodent scale, the thrill of cooking in Paris with Remy.
Not forgetting the scenarios that will take us to the village of Portorosso with Luca, Alberto and Giulia, to the subway of Elemental, to the ocean of Finding Nemo or to the Mexico of Coco, full of color, flowers? There is also a nod to Monsters, S.A., will you find Boo in the scare factory?
Among all the trends that Pixar World has generated in networks, there is one that especially amuses us. We take this opportunity to challenge all future visitors to the immersive experience: will you be able to find all the Pixar balls in the exhibition?
