A Pixar food festival themed to the animation studio’s latest movies will draw culinary inspiration from the storylines, characters and locales in “Turning Red,” “Soul,” “Luca,” “Elemental” and “Inside Out” as well as the classic chef-centric “Ratatouille” film.
Six festival marketplace booths will serve Pixar-themed food and drinks from Friday, May 10 to Aug. 4 at Disney California Adventure.

The larger Pixar Fest umbrella event that kicked off in late April features the new Better Together parade and Club Pixar dance party at DCA and the returning “Together Forever” fireworks show at Disneyland.
Adding the festival marketplace booths a few weeks into Pixar Fest is an unusual move for California Adventure that has expanded its off-season food festival offerings in recent years.
Disneyland and DCA eateries have been offering more than 100 Pixar-themed foods and drinks since Pixar Fest started on April 26.
