If you are like me and love the subtle and sometimes secondary characters in Disney and Disney Pixar films then you are going to enjoy this. Disney Parks shared more details with us about the all-new Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios with us and this time its about a beloved Toy Story franchise character that just doesn’t get enough attention.
‘Wheezy’, the lovable penguin that first came onto the scene in ‘Toy Story 2’ as one of the well loved toys in Andy’s room, is going to now get his time to shine. ‘Wheezy’ is a full-on animatronic that greets guests as they pull back into the station singing “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. The larger than life penguin will sit on top of letter blocks that spell out the word FUN with the sheet music to “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” in the background.
Roger Gould, Creative Director PIXAR Animation Studios, Inc “we said it would be so great to have Wheezy there in his charming little squeaky voice but then bursting into song and then singing You’ve Got a Friend in Me.”
Hannah Brennan, Assistant Producer Walt Disney Imagineering “It’s gonna to be so great for everyone to hear their favorite song and it’s actually my personal favorite and Wheezy’s such a great character to bring that story to life.”
This is the perfect end to what looks to be an amazing experience on Slinky Dog Dash. Check out the Disney Parks video above for more insight into the making of the ‘Wheezy’ animatronic that will be a feature part of Toy Story Land when it officially opens in Disney’s Hollywood Studios on June 30, 2018.
