Fresh off its record-breaking runs in Brazil, Mexico, Belgium, and Spain, Mundo Pixar has landed in the UK for the first time. Set inside a purpose-built space in Wembley, visitors are welcomed into a world of Pixar that taps directly into nostalgia and childlike wonder.
The exhibition unfolds as a series of immersive environments inspired by beloved Pixar worlds - including Toy Story, Up, and Finding Nemo, to name just a few. Transitions between rooms are handled through darkened corridors that reset the senses before revealing each new space. While the structure feels more like a collection of individual worlds than a continuous story, every room offers its own sense of discovery.
The experience rewards curiosity with recognisable props and visual callbacks from the films, encouraging guests to slow down and explore beyond the obvious photo moments. A particularly fun touch is the hidden Pixar ball tucked somewhere in every room - sometimes obvious, sometimes cleverly concealed - turning the visit into a light-hearted scavenger hunt that adds an extra layer of engagement.
The clear highlight is Andy’s Room from Toy Story, where visitors shrink to toy size among oversized furniture and playful props. It’s an impressive illusion that invites guests to linger, blending nostalgia with spectacle.
Visually, the exhibition feels premium. The scale, lighting and set design create convincing environments that are a joy to wander through. A few scenes suggest room for deeper immersion - Ratatouille being the clearest missed chance for scent effects - but the overall craftsmanship already delivers a strong sense of escapism.
Visitor flow is well managed, allowing guests to explore at their own pace without feeling rushed. The atmosphere remains light, joyful and shared, with families and adults alike embracing the chance to revisit familiar worlds.
Overall, the experience is a vibrant celebration of Pixar’s imagination. It’s playful, nostalgic and visually striking - a feel-good outing designed to spark smiles and remind visitors why these stories endure.
The exhibition is currently booking through June 2026. Get your tickets here.
