One character for each of the years Disneyland Paris has been open to the public. Comprised of kinetic Disney and Pixar mobiles, flowers, landscaping, and glow in the dark effects. Each element celebrates nature, popular Disney and Pixar characters, and offers a new are for park goers to explore.

The mobiles will be heavily stylised, so it may be a challenge for park goers to identify each and every character. Each of these pieces has been imagined by the Landscaping and Entertainment teams. Production and manufacturing has been handed over to local craftsmen whose know-how has contributed to Disneyland Paris for many years.

Inspired by Salvador Dali, the 10 themes will be comprised of Disney and Pixar Characters. Definitely expect to find Princesses to Villains. Garden of Asia, for example, will include sculptures of Baymax (Big Hero 6), Mushu (Mulan) and Sisu (Raya and the Last Dragon).
