Coco Coming to Philharmagic

Disney and Pixar’s ‘Coco’ Coming to ‘Mickey’s PhilharMagic’ on July 17

We can’t keep this news under Mickey’s sorcerer hat much longer. Fans of "Mickey’s PhilharMagic" will soon be tapping to a new song with the debut of an animated scene based on Disney and Pixar’s "Coco."

Glad to see this, but the delay for MK is odd. I know MK’s theatre/screen is much larger, though, so perhaps there’s some extra animation to do to fill the whole wrap-around screen.

Probably more due to marketing than anything else. Coincides with the start of the Anniversary MK/WDW.

Actual animation shouldn't change, as DCA uses the same output and squishes it to fit its puny theater. I think @Mad Dog is right on the money - they'll throw it out as a 50th Anniversary stocking stuffer.

This is wonderful. Philarmagic has needed some love for awhile. I hope they add more to it in the future. Definitely makes me want to see it again.

Also, they're saying this is the first time Disney and Pixar characters are seen on screen together? That surely can't be correct, I feel like something has to have been done like that in the past 20 years they've owned Pixar.

Animation-wise: maybe? But it's been done before in video games.

So....does this mean they’ll finally upgrade the projectors? When I saw this in January, the film quality was looking kinda sad.

I believe so, yes. I hope they also do some spring cleaning in the theater overall.

The new COCO scene is very nice. Slots into the rest of the show pretty seamlessly.

Saw the new sequence on Saturday and it was a nice addition to the show. Noticed Donald ending scene was not in the back of the theatre as usual. Did they drop that in the update?
