Disney have announced that they will be bringing the Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival to the Discoveryland Theatre in the Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris.  These will be shown in 4D and will officially open its doors on 2nd July 2016.  This follows what Disney did at Walt Disney World’s Epcot, which replaced Captain EO with this Short Film Festival.

This new experience will feature a look into the visionary minds behind some of the world’s most iconic animated films today. Once inside Discoveryland Theatre, guests can put on their 3D glasses and enter the imaginative worlds of three animated shorts – Get A Horse, For The Birds and La Luna – which will burst to life on the big screen like never before.

Here are some details on the shorts being shown:

Get a Horse stars Mickey Mouse and features Walt Disney himself as the voice of the iconic character. This black-and-white, hand-drawn short follows Mickey, his favorite gal pal Minnie Mouse and their friends Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow as they delight in a musical wagon ride — until Peg-Leg Pete shows up and tries to run them off the road.

For The Birds opens to show a flock of small birds perch, one by one, on a telephone wire. Sitting close together has problems enough, and then along comes a large dopey bird that tries to join them. The birds of a feather can’t help but make fun of him—and their clique mentality proves embarrassing in the end.

And lastly, La Luna is the timeless fable of a young boy coming of age in the most peculiar circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and, with no land in sight, they stop and wait. A big surprise awaits the little boy as he discovers his family’s most unusual line of work. Should he follow the example of his Papa or his Grandpa? Will he be able to find his own way amidst their conflicting opinions and timeworn traditions?
