Together Forever – A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular was a multimedia nighttime spectacular at Disneyland that premiered alongside the returning Paint the Night parade on April 13, 2018[1] as part of the Pixar Fest celebration. The show used fireworks, projection mapping, fire, lasers, and searchlights to tell stories of friendship from various different Pixar films.[2]

Similar in scale to Disneyland Forever, there were several different viewing locations for the show. Projection mapping was used on Sleeping Beauty Castle, the facade of It's a Small World, and the buildings of Main Street, USA[3] (used during Disneyland Forever, Mickey's Halloween Party event and special fireworks shows). The show was also projected onto the water screens on the Rivers of America (used during Fantasmic!).
Show summary
The show begins with the Luxo Ball from Luxo Jr. rolling towards the audience via projections. Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story appears flying over Sleeping Beauty Castle as fireworks and searchlights illuminate the sky.
Dug, from Up, leads off the next section (humorously meaning to be an Up section), but gets distracted by a squirrel allowing other Pixar characters to take over. "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters, Inc. plays as characters join from that movie and Monsters University." The song then transitions to the styling of Finding Nemo as Marlin and Dory bicker. The music transitions again to the stylings of Inside Out while Joy and Sadness traverse Riley's mind, eventually meeting with Bing Bong who, along with Joy, performs his song. To finish the section, Russell begins his speech to Carl Fredericksen who promptly shuts the door, ending the section.
The "Define Dancing" scene from WALL-E is projected onto several different landmarks around the park, and WALL-E and Eve from the film can be seen flying across outer space accompanied with fireworks.
Next, Miguel from Coco strums his guitar and sings "The World Es Mi Familia" from the film. During this segment, inflatable skeletons from the film line Main Street, USA.
"Life is a Highway" from Cars plays as different characters from the three films appear. Suddenly, The Incredibles take over in a battle to defeat the Omnidroid. Fire shoots around Sleeping Beauty Castle as the incinerator scene from Toy Story 3, and the toys are saved by "The Claw".
The Adventure Book from Up is projected onto various landmarks around Disneyland, as Carl Fredrickson's house flies above Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Finally, a montage of several different "friendship moments" from various Pixar films are projected as a pop version of "You've Got a Friend in Me" plays. Buzz Lightyear and Woody appear once again proclaiming their friendship for "infinity and beyond" as the show concludes.
