VIDEO - A look at The Music of Pixar Live! at Disney's Hollywood Studios

“The Music of Pixar Live! – A Symphony of Characters,” is a limited-time summer show, taking place at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The Music of Pixar Live! overview

Playing through August 27 2017, the stage show features character moments and animated scenes on large video screens, along with a full orchestra performing pieces from the soundtracks from films such as "Toy Story," "Up," "Finding Nemo," "Finding Dory," "The Incredibles"and "Cars."

Special video segments with the film’s composers take guests inside the scoring of a Pixar film. Their on-camera comments are backed by behind the scenes footage from Pixar, including orchestra recordings, story development, concept art and animation.

As you can hear in the video below, the orchestra sounds fantastic, and their performance is indistinguishable from the movie soundtrack.

Throughout the show, Pixar characters add moments of comedy and fun before their featured segment. Character appearances include Mike and Sulley, Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear, Carl Fredricksen and Dug, and Dory.

Showtimes will vary for the 45 minute long “The Music of Pixar Live! – A Symphony of Characters,” although the typical schedule is 5pm, 6:45pm and 8:15pm.

"The Music of Pixar Live! - A Symphony of Characters" takes place in the Theater of the Stars on Sunset Blvd, where Beauty and the Beast continues to play during the daytime.

Dining Packages including reserved seating for the show are also available.
