Lilypad Brings New Beats to Alien Swirling Saucers
Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting a new music twist in Toy Story Land. Starting September 25, Lilypad, a spirited frog-shaped smart tablet from the upcoming Disney-Pixar film Toy Story 5, will bring its tech to connect friends and create an all-new soundtrack for Alien Swirling Saucers.
Lilypad's Jams will feature reimagined Toy Story classics and brand-new songs written specifically for this attraction. The Imagineers took a new approach to the music, remaking beloved tunes from the films with catchy new original songs that are singable, sincere, and a little cheesy.
To record the soundtrack, the Imagineers worked with world-class musicians in Nashville, covering various genres such as pop, country, EDM, and alt-rock. Thomas Niederhiser, Senior Creative Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering, stated, 'We wanted to think about the music in a completely new way, taking beloved songs from the Toy Story films...'
Lilypad is not only DJing for Alien Swirling Saucers but also entertaining guests offboard with her playlist and providing various activities between tunes. This new addition aims to bring an all-new energy to the Toy Story Land experience.
