New Animatic Shows Monsters Inc. Door Coaster's Unique Load Area
The footage was shown during a presentation at SXSW.
Fans are getting a new look at the upcoming Monsters Inc. ride in the form of an animatic.
What’s Happening:
- During a presentation at SXSW today, Pete Docter and Michael Hundgen shared an animatic depicting the Monsters Inc. door coaster coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Specifically, it highlighted the unique load station for the ride.
- The experience is set to be part of a larger Monstropolis area — which we now know will replace the area currently occupied by the Muppets.
What they’re saying:
- Imagineer Michael Hundgen: “Imagineers have been itching to turn that moment into an attraction ever since we saw it for the first time."
- Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter: “I can tell you that everyone at Pixar is excited about how this is coming together," Docter told the crowd. “It really is like a dream come true for us."
About Monsters Inc. Land:
- Picking up after the events of Pixar Animation Studios’ beloved film, humans have now been invited to visit the world of Monsters, Inc.
- Guests will be able to see the sights, hear the laughs and zoom through the building just like James P. Sullivan (a.k.a. Sulley) and Mike Wazowski.
- The land will include Disney’s first-ever suspended coaster, which will be employed to bring the iconic doors scene (or something like it) to life.
More Disney SXSW announcements:
- In addition to the popular BDX droids coming to more Disney Parks around the world later this year, it’s been confirmed that they will appear in the upcoming film The Mandalorian & Grogu.
- Speaking of The Mandalorian & Grogu, the previously-announced new mission for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will debut on the same day as the film.
- The Fantastic Four will appear in Disneyland Park this summer when the latest Marvel film hits theatres.
- We also got a new look at the ride vehicles for a Cars attraction coming to Magic Kingdom.
