Discover Pixar’s Hidden Art Vault at Disneyland

Guests stepping into the second‑floor atrium of Pixar Place Hotel will meet a vibrant collection that celebrates the upcoming Toy Story 5. The gallery showcases hand‑drawn sketches, painted scenes, and three‑dimensional models that reveal how the movie’s visuals came to life. A striking mural dominates one wall, featuring Jessie holding a horse’s mane while Bullseye and Smarty Pants stand beside her. Smarty Pants, voiced by Conan O’Brien, looks like a toilet‑paper‑roll toy with big eyes and a tiny mouth. The mural gives visitors a playful glimpse of the film’s quirky characters. In a glass case, a small maquette of Blaze draws attention. The sculpted figure is made from urethane resin and shows the new heroine voiced by Mykal‑Michelle Harris. Blaze’s story ties back to Jessie, who must confront the pain of being left behind when her original owner moved on. A large screen loops storyboard panels that capture key moments. One frame shows Woody clutching his stomach, while two others depict Buzz firing his laser at Woody from different angles. These drawings illustrate the film’s action and humor.Walls display character designs, digital paintings of settings, and special editions of Buzz Lightyear. One section highlights a high‑tech Buzz in a camouflage suit, while another spotlights the “Man Down” lighting concept. Fans can also see artwork featuring Bonnie’s toys, including Forky, Knifey, Dolly, and Lilypad. Additional displays focus on Blaze riding a horse and standing before her ranch home. A separate canvas shows several Buzz Lightyears scattered on a sandy beach, hinting at a chaotic delivery scene. The movie’s plot centers on how Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of Bonnie’s toys face new challenges. Technology now competes with classic playthings for children’s attention, and the characters must adapt. The latest trailer has just premiered, adding excitement to the gallery experience. Visitors can share their thoughts on social media after exploring this creative showcase.
