Pixar Creates ‘Toy Story Nutcracker’ for ‘World of Color—Winter Dreams’

“World of Color—Winter Dreams,” the holiday version of Disney’s spectacular nighttime show “World of Color,” has arrived in Disney California Adventure Park and will be showing until January 6th, so there’s still time to get out there and see it. The show will be hosted by Olaf, the adorable snowman from “Frozen,” and one of the highlights will be Pixar’s Toy Story Nutcracker segment.

In the mini show, everyone’s favorite toys will dance and perform in a parody of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” directed and arranged by Woody. The performance will feature the characters in several hilarious scenes, from Woody and Jessie dancing to their western version of the “Russian Dance” to Rex in his tutu continuously creating problems for the little green aliens, which was inspired by the mushroom scene in “Fantasia.”

I like the fact that Pixar is expanding their reach beyond full-length films with Toy Story of Terror and now Toy Story Nutcracker, because it’s fun to see these characters beyond the big screen. Now if only Pixar would continue this trend with their other beloved movie characters…

Haven’t been able to make it to see World of Color — Winter Dreams in person, me neither, but thanks to Attractions Magazine, we can watch the whole thing on Youtube. So pour yourself a nice cup of joe and follow us below the jump:

Over the weekend the US Women’s National Soccer Team visited Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, CA. The team was in town to play a friendly match versus New Zealand at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. While on campus, they spent time with the Pixar Soccer team, took “Monster Drawing 101” with character designer Chris Sasaki who designed Art from Monsters University, and enjoyed a tour of the grounds.

The Pixar soccer team also took a moment to pose with the US Women’s team.
