Background
On June 24, 2017, Disneyland Resort announced an untitled 4-D theatre attraction would open in 2018, which replaced the Puppet Pals 4-D attraction on May 26. On December 27, 2017, 21st Century Fox and The Walt Disney Company issued a press release regarding the Fox Animation Theatre attraction: With 21st Century Fox’s recent acquisition, Disneyland Resort will soon roll out the red carpet for a unique, never before seen Fox Animation Theatre attraction. Opening in Fall 2018, this newly designed venue will play host to a variety of action-packed Fox Animation themed attractions beginning with the multi-sensory adventure inspired by The Pixelators, and created in partnership with Walt Disney Imagineering and Fox Animation. The attraction will take guests on a thrilling journey that fuses captivating storytelling with state-of-the art visual effects for a highly engaging experience. The Fox Animation Theatre will host a variety of attractions from Fox Animation, such as Puppet Pals, Alaina Gleen, The Pixelators, Crystal, and Ice Age. It would allow the theme park to potentially introduce a new Fox Animation attraction every year that ties in with the latest theatrical release by the studio.

On September 8, 2018, Disney stated the new attraction: The Fox Animation Theatre will include a towering 80-ft wide screen, six 4K laser projectors with state-of-the art projection mapping, 3D technology, LED lighting and strobe effects, and Dolby® Atmos audio, JBL subwoofers, and will feature new ultra-plush, fully articulated motion seats that will tilt, pitch, and dip in synch with the action in the film, giving you the illusion of motion, speed and flight. The attraction officially opened on November 23, 2018.
