Hong Kong Disneyland is teaming up with Pixar Animation Studios to bring a unique theatrical experience to Toy Story Land, set to debut in the first half of 2027. The show will focus on Poppy, a plush toy from Hong Kong, as she settles into a new community with her owner, Aria. Concept art suggests Poppy's appearance may resemble a pangolin, with a tail covered in pink scales spotted in an illustration.
Poppy is described as sweet and shy, with a habit of curling into a ball when feeling nervous. The storyline will see her interacting with beloved characters from other Pixar franchises, including Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Cars, The Incredibles, and Inside Out.
