I still think Block Party Bash is still the best Pixar parade. That parade is an underrated gem during the 50th Anniversary.
That and the Pixar Play Parade than ran at DCA from 2008-2017
this
that turning red float is STUNNING
Ngl the girl you know the one with like the yellow sweater orange pants the first you see she lowkey hot
I miss Disney’s old formula to structuring parade music:
1. Parade theme song in the musical style of the float’s IP
2. Music from the film
3. Maybe another song from the film
4. Bridge back to the parade theme song in the style of the IP
5. Seamless transition back to 1
Soundsational and Play Parade did this really well and it creates this cool effect of looking down the street and every performer, no matter what float or choreography, looks like they’re dancing in unison. Paint the Night went above and beyond and snuck in the Baroque Hoedown in the style of each IP too.
But they are using this formula for this parade
The formula has been updated to make the entire parade sound like a consecutive song with a defined ending and it still goes back to the classic Disney parade roots of having a consistent underlining beat. The first parade to use the new formula was magic happens.
@@pinhead35 interesting, I had a feeling magic happens had a different structure. There is that jarring tempo change between the first 3 floats (musically cohesive) and the repeating “if you just believe” theme for the last 4 floats. I’m curious why they went that route.
I do still stand by the old formula, it feels like a more solid production and it led to some interesting sounds - the soundsational theme sung in jazz for Tiana, African instrumental for Lion King, in calypso for Ariel.
@@b_d15 I honestly think the tempo changes and the weird splitting they did with the tracks in Magic Happens came from a place of wanting to try something new.
About a year after Magic Happens re-premiered at Disneyland they started working on a new parade for Tokyo Disneyland, Harmony in Color, which takes the old soundsational formula and mixes it with the Main Street Electrical Parade and Magic Happens to honestly create a masterpiece. The finale song “like a rainbow” fixes the mistake made with Magic Happens and uses the final 2 units in front of the finale to help with the transition into the finale song (to make the noise bleed issues go away)
Better Together tried to recreate harmony in color’s formula but fell flat halfway through, almost like the music team ran out of energy
@@pinhead35Magic Happens is way BETTER than this new Pixar parade!!
Pixar play parade was way better
Yo, where's the WALL-E float?
Yes where is that good movie
And the elemental on onward floats
@@ChurasakanasaYes, I would love to see an actual driving Guinivere!
This is the most underwhelming Disney parade like ever
I’m seriously trying to think of any parade across all worldwide parks throughout the years and I can’t think of one that feels so jumbled together. I can’t think of any. I can’t believe Disneyland Resort, the flagship Disney Park, is presenting this as a good product.
It's a bit of a downgrade from play parade, but hey it's not taking the six flags route
Yup.
I think I’ll have to see it in person. Thrilled to see a plus size dancer!! ❤
that’s been around since magic happens but go off I guess
We need all the Pixar floats for this
I think that a parade like this has a lot of potential.
Something that could be added would be a float for each movie and go in order as the movies came out. This needs more floats like Nemo, wall-e or elemental. Although one thing is for sure, there are movies that are not added because they are not very popular like a good dinosaur or onward
(obviously the movies that have a sequel would be a single float, only adding elements from the new movies)
The Parade looks Worth the Wait and the Music Similar to "Disney Harmony In Color" especially during the Up portion the Tune is so Harmony In Color.
But I wish they Add some more Pixar Stories like "Elemental", "Cars", "Finding Nemo/Dory", "A Bugs Life", "Ratatouille", "Brave" etc.
That comparison to Harmony In Color from Tokyo Disney is very on point, makes us wish they actual used the soundtrack instead
@@danielgudinojuarez6729 Agreed
The thing is they were going for new Pixar theme not old but they got all the originals and popular in like toy story
Omg! 4town!!! 🥰
The dad ❤❤❤❤ 3:10
No Bugs Life? That’s too bad :(
Tom ik you're going back to Japan soon but can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get an honest review!
THIS!!! Would love to hear thoughts. I love the thought on this parade but think it fell flat.
Better Together = Monotony.....there is a library of Pixar movie music they could have used. This was just plain lazy. And cheap.
Magic Happens is leagues way better than this new parade. The old Pixar Play Parade was more fun than this new Pixar parade. Even the old night parade that had some Pixar characters were way better. This is lame. Let's put a new parade together but we're on a budget. This is the result. Some floats and the things that the Incredibles ride on are from the old Pixar Play Parade. That's one way to save money. 🙄
This feels more like a cavalcade than a parade. It’s good, but not amazing
THEY GOT A LUCA FLOAT!
The Pixar Fest is finally here!
Lazily put together, cheap sad looking and quality is not that of pass Disneyland resort parades.
I agree
And almost half of the floats in this “new parade” are from the Pixar play parade. Imma call this a cavalcade instead of a parade.
@austinjames6700 I only give inside out snd up a pass cuz there were only used in 2018, other than that, we could've gotten more
Agree. Looks so cheap. Such a downgrade from Pixar Play parade.
Wow they didn't spend much on this parade. Kinda sad. Looks and feels more like a cavalcade.
it's DCA what did you expect? they always get the short end of everything
@@heyitsnibbs9650 Well they have had a few entertainment wins, Frozen LIVE, World of Color. I expected a decent parade on the level of Magic Happens.
@@heyitsnibbs9650 DCA used to have Pixar Play parade and paint the night. That's what we expected.
@@Disneyfan4lifedon’t forget Rogers the Musical
@@pinhead35 Yes they did a good job with that one as well.
Luca, Alberto and Gulia are both unsettling in this parade
I can agree with you I don't understand why Disney Parks turns Human Face characters into Costume Face characters
I lost my shit, I love luca
Why were the Turning Red characters, and Joe, face characters but not the Luca characters? It would have made the bottom half in the water even more obvious!
@@kylelien7810 I know, it’s pretty creepy, especially when
They’re doing it with characters that have a huge mouth
@@RonanBunny I mean I'm fine with the animal characters just not the human characters
Where's Merida?
I would've walked off after the Soul float from boredom. Also, speaking of the Soul float, I was super annoyed for some reason that the kids aren't even attempting to look like they're actually playing their prop instruments... This parade feels very unispired, unimaginative, and just downright boring.
I noticed that too. I was surprised that it was choreographed this way. Hmm
The Soul unit, specifically, should have been a sophisticated jazz club scene. Not a junky school room wearing whatever clashing patchwork mess that was. And the Luca float concept looked awesome but you can barely tell they are changed under the water. The theme song of the parade doesn't remotely remind me of Pixar. Pixar has made billions of dollars just to get this junk parade and a hotel overlay in "celebration"? Ridiculous!
🧌🧌🧌
the bugs life erasure is infuriating
and wall-e💔
YES, I’ve always loved bugs life, and wall e never gets anything it makes me sad :(
I agree. It’s my favorite Pixar movie
@@Apoisonedheart it’s so underrated 🥹
@@Sierra-mn5ye omg heavy on walle!! i just came from disneyland and the pixar fireworks show barley had any walle in it💔
Awwww. I love the Turning Red float. Mei Mei is so cute in her red panda.
I need the soundtrack of this ❤❤
I might be the outlier in these comments but I think I prefer this to Pixar Play Parade and in terms of song I prefer this to Magic Happens. It's a solid cute lil parade. I think some floats could've been bigger but overall still cutesies
Really? The actual new floats are basically stages with railings.
@@austinjames6700 yeah these floats are pretty basic compared to the floats that we had during Pixar Play Parade. But to me, I personally wasn't a fan of the dancers costumes for that parade and I didn't like the music for that one either.
I think if they had a put just a little bit more effort onto this one, added more movies, and not reuse the same pieces from the last Pixar parade it would've been even more exciting. Like I said, it's a solid cute LITTLE parade.
I’m guessing this will only be here until Aug when Pixar fest ends. If that’s so, then I’m ok with it. Something is better than nothing. Silver lining is that ppl who r waiting to watch won’t be standing in line for attractions lol. And this parade actually looks better running at night time when they had the cast member preview so that’s an easy way to make it look a bit better but with summer coming and the last showing is at 6:30 we probably won’t be able to experience it with the lighting package.
Recommend you watch Disney Harmony in Color, it has veryyyyy similar music but the floats are 1000x better
How can you like this more than Magic Happens? When MH I watched all the parades. Sadly the last 2 days before the park closed it was too wet so onto the buses characters went. I got love from some of the cast members showing a heart and pointing to me. That was cool. MH is so much fun but this new one is BORING! 😴
Wheres the love for onward?!
As much as I thought this was cool, it's basically just the new ones and toy story. I wish that they would finally use Wall-e in the parks. Not bad though. A lot of characters that would get all the kids excited. Thanks again for posting the whole thing
omg😭awesome
Imagineering is just phoning it in at this point
This was what we got instead of bringing back Paint the Night? Bleh
I totally agree. I only saw PTN in the summer of 2018. How I LOVED that parade. It was such a blast!
@@jeannetteashlin1725 watched it twice while it was at DCA, one of which was while eating at Wine Country Trattoria. Unbeatable
We need the coco float from Harmony in color
Not having Onward, Elemental, or Finding Nemo anywhere brings it down for me 😔
Or cars
It's pretty much the American edition of harmony of color, in terms of float design and music
please no😂
4TOWN!🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Do you know if Red Panda Mei is meet and greet able during Pixar Fest? Or is she only in the parade?
Only parade!
@@ChunkychunHealyhow about Luca, Alberto, and Giulia?
Must be a big missed opportunity for a meet and greet of Red Panda Mei.
@@EthanAnania fr
@@ChunkychunHealy Really? Is there any official info on that?
This looks very cool‼️ I like the new floats they introduced! Can’t wait to check this out soon!!
sorry but..... LUCA OMG SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYY!!! I love them so much they look so cute! Love their car it's like the style of their movie!
This is so amazing
THE LUCA ONE WITH GIANNI MORANDI😭😭😭😭
Who sings the song it so catchy lol
Where's the audio?
The audio was fine. Maybe refresh it or restart your phone or computer that you're watching it from and try again.
Um why didn't they put Cars in this parade?
I was so excited for this parades, this is just a let down for me
Same here, it also reminds me of when I was excited for avengers campus and its new spider man ride. I waited hours opening week only to realize that web slingers was a cheap lame clone of midway mania without the cannons. It barely lasts 2 minutes and you just flail your arms randomly at generic spider bots. You can also buy a cheap feeling wrist attachment for $30 that allows you to score more points than others.
The campus itself looks good visually, but substance wise there’s nothing to do. The Dr strange show was so low budget and terrible it felt like a birthday party magician hired off of Craigslist. The worst part was the e ticket that they have been dangling in front of us like a carrot for 4+ years now yet it still hasn’t even been started on. Disney is literally working on everything but this ride that they promised us. So frustrating
@@dayoldbread1696cheap clothes,cheap parade floats,best cast members 😢
@@dayoldbread1696yep sounds about right. Disney throwing together a cheap ride and making you wanna buy a $30 attachment to make extra money. Also i disagree about your statement about how AC looks visually appealing. It’s just a bunch of gray buildings and concrete with one red building and another big gray building that’s only being used to generate more revenue
@@Sierra-mn5ye 😂 exactly! Also sorry I didn’t mean it looked good it’s just it didn’t look absolutely terrible like I originally thought it would look. I guess it’s the fake futuristic look that influences my opinion but like you said I think they could have done way better.
There’s actually leaked concept art of the original quinjet e ticket ride and also the first iteration of the land before everything got budget cut and changed, it looked so much better than the garbage we ended up getting. I just wonder why they went all out with Star Wars but not the avengers stuff in the parks.
Where is my lighting McQueen 😢
That was awesome
PIXAR PLAY PARADE WAS BETTER!
This looks SO good!! Can’t believe all these spoiled negative people in the comments.
My favourites are the Turning Red and Luca floats.
Where is Meis mom?
I'm Not Crying, I Just have A Pixar Ball On My Eye ❤💛💙🌟
Jokes appart i Love This New Pixar Parade ❤
No wall-e or ratatouille representation smh 😩
This parade is just not great. It looks so cheap. Too much publicity and not a big deal🥲
I love ❤️ the Turning Red unit! 🐼
Hey! Where's the original Pixar Play Parade theme song at? Because it's a huge letdown for me:(
You should look at the future not at the past!
Play parade ended it's run 5 years ago for good
This isn’t the full parade, the full parade will be happening on Friday. This version is missing some floats
This is the full parade
Lol
They would do the entire parade for press. This would be a press account vs a guest filming it. Also when Disney premieres a new parade they don't only send part of it. Disney does the entire parade.
It seems some people like this embarrassing spectacle. Very little effort went into highlighting a creative, entertainment company. What happened, no budget? The presentation lacked visual appeal, auditory experience, character representation, and overall thematic cohesion. These are the elements that can turn a parade into a great one, leaving lasting memories for the guests.
This looks like we came up with a new Pixar parade but we're on a budget. So we will recycle some things from Pixar Play Parade and hired a bunch of dancers. 😴
Films missing:
A bugs life
Cars
Finding nemo
Ratatouille
Elemental
Wall-E
Onward
Brave
The good dinosaur
Where are they?
Characters from Turning Red and Soul are so coooool!!!
The dad in the cardboard outfit ❤
@@gothamsangelwhat animal?
i want to be kevin.
Disappointed over Kevin as this person does is dance. In Pixar Play Parade the person walked up to people and interacted with them some. It was hilarious! Kevin also squacked. Kevin was quiet in the parade. I didn't get the extra voices coming from the Up float. I was lost.
One of the best parades of the 2020s!! If only they used the Pixar Play Parade music it'd be more fun and nostalgic
I love Luca and the characters are so bad man😭😭 why did they make them fur characters instead of making them face characters? The mask or head piece looks so bad it makes me sad
I feel like they should've added more balloons to the up float and they should've added more classic disney movies. Kinda boring. I know that its supposed to be pixar and stuff but still, i miss the old disney formula
So disappointing.. seems very low budget . No banners?! No flags?! No confetti?! Lots of open space and not enough performers .
It’s only here till Pixar fest ends
@@sierraisstressedis there gonna be a soundtrack at least
Nice that they’re using Pixar parade floats again they couldn’t make new ones
Jesus what an embarrassment 😮
Where’s my Boy Lightning McQueen and Mater?????? The Pixar Play Parade is better than this garbage!!!!
This goes to show the future of Disney parades are going downhill. That was so lazy and uncreative in the least
embarrassing
So underwhelming
repurposed floats and costumes are so pedestrian like you literally buy it somewhere
it screams a budget of 300k
Most day parades are. Magic Happens is the exception
Yea this sucks to see
@harwickbranch The OG Pixar Play Parade and Festival of Fantasy parade did NOT look like this 😭
Awful song, reused floats in that are extremely spaced out for no reason, and the new characters look like TRASH.
💯🎯👏
Am I the only one that thinks turning red, Luca, and soul aren’t good? Why are they getting so much attention. This parade was a big flop to me. Bad music, cheap looking floats and just random dancers.
I think all of those movies are very good, actually. The parade is all of the things you've mentioned, though.
I haven’t watched turning red, but I hated Luca and thought Soul was cute, but not amazing. Pixar flopped so hard in the past 5 or so years and they’re still trying to pass trash off as diamonds. You can’t celebrate Pixar without WallE, Bugs Life, and Cars…. Disney messes up AGAIN.
I agree, I thought all three were ok but not great and it's strange to me that they seem to be getting a lot of attention as if they were smash hits. All of their releases in theaters earlier this year flopped big time
Yep just you cuz I think they’re great and fun
@@Showman_87I couldn’t be happier that other movies besides Up and Frozen are getting floats. They’ve had their moment now it’s time for others to get their
Welp another parade flop. 4town posing and acting like kpop stars is beyond cringe worthy.
Welp nobody cares bud! Your commenting is horrible!
Waaaaaaaaay to many random dance people. Big missed opportunity to fill that parade with world famous DISNEY & Pixar characters.
