Animals were kept in the studio and artists studied their movements and expressions while creating the film. Audiences were stunned, and since that point, more and more beloved animals have appeared in Disney films. The Disney Cats & Dogs exhibition will also show the evolution and innovation of Disney’s animal animation and the history of the trial and error process in bringing them to life.

The Neko Neko Shokupan Dark Halloween variation is baked from a cherry flavored dough and filled with cream, raisins, and chocolate chips. The subtle cherry taste is combined with rich and creamy whole milk to create an all-new flavor. A bitter black cocoa has been mixed in to add a slightly mature taste to the recipe. This slightly dark Neko Neko Shokupan can only be enjoyed this Halloween!

The special Halloween flavored Neko Neko Shokupan ~Halloween~ will be sold for the first time in two years in stores nationwide. The catchy Halloween-inspired design is baked using a pumpkin and black cocoa flavored dough, filled with raisins and dark chocolate. While the Shokupan is made using black cocoa, bitterness is reduced by the whole milk cream used in most Neko Neko Shokupan products, resulting in a sweet and milky flavor. Don’t forget, the desserts look great in photos too!

The Nyanchee is a cheesecake that has been baked at a high temperature to produce a dark brown, Basque finish. For this season, both a plain and Autumnal “Pumpkin” set will be released. The seasonal pumpkin Nyanchee has been made using a pumpkin purée for a rich, Fall flavor. The subtly sweet pumpkin and soft cheese will resonate with your tastebuds!

While ‘animals’ are one of Disney’s forever-themes, ‘dogs and cats’ are special amongst them for being like family to us humans. The upcoming ‘Disney Cats & Dogs Exhibition,’ held at Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza between December 1 and December 25, explores the charms of Disney’s beloved pets.

Mickey & Friends Pluto

Lady and the Tramp

101 Dalmatians

Aristocats

The movie ‘Bambi’ was an opportunity for Disney to challenge the tough task of “animals expressing themselves, while maintaining a realistic drawing style.” The crew invited animals into the studio, studying their anatomy and muscles to ensure a sense of realism. The characters were successfully drawn in an expressive way which captivated audiences, leading Disney to produce a large number of animal animations throughout its history. The exhibition will introduce visitors to the evolution   and innovation of Disney’s animal animation, along with the trial and error that it took to successfully draw animals expressing their feelings. The event is full of iconic Disney animals such as Pluto, the 101 Dalmations, Lady and the Tramp, and The Aristocats – It’s almost as if you’ve fallen straight into a Disney movie! 

The exhibition will showcase a wide collection of over 300 digital and archived works, provided by the Animation Research Library, which hosts, digitizes, and archives everything related to Disney animation. Pieces that could be damaged if removed from storage, such as original watercolor paintings and pastel illustrations, are digitized and exhibited for the world to enjoy in a scale much larger than the original, allowing guests to see the details in each piece of art. This unique digital aspect is one of the highlights of the exhibition.

You won’t want to miss out on this exhibition which features some of the most impressive dogs and cats in all of Disney works; You can laugh at Mickey’s friend Pluto as he features in some of Disney’s earliest gag animations, marvel at the romance of Lady and the Tramp, be thrilled by the dramatic escape from Cruella’s magical hands in 101 Dalmations, and even take in both the beauty of Paris and the cuteness of kitten Marie from the Aristocats.

Walt Disney himself was known for being a huge dog lover, spending his childhood with his family and their dog. This ‘Cats and Dogs’ themed exhibition will showcase characters with expressions and gestures that reflect Disney’s affection and familiarity with the animals. 

Why not go walkies around the ‘Disney Cats & Dogs’ exhibition?
