Pixar's The Incredibles in a Magic Kingdom Adventure to tour as new Disney on Ice production

New show features superhero family vacation to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

Disney On Ice debuts a brand new ice show with Disney presents Pixar's The Incredibles in a Magic Kingdom Adventure. Produced by Feld Entertainment, this original fun-filled story reveals what happens when America's favorite family, the Parrs (Super alter ego, the Incredibles), tries to take a normal vacation to Disney's Magic Kingdom Park. During this one-of-a-kind show, families join Bob, Helen, Violet, Dash and Jack-Jack as they enjoy Disney's most popular theme park attractions -- all brought to life on ice for the first time.

"Only this show offers audiences the chance to see the Incredibles in a brand-new adventure," said Producer Kenneth Feld. "And for this show, we're doing something we've never done before -- we're giving all children who walk through the door an Incredi-Band [a special light up cuff] that will allow them to be a part of the show."

This spectacular story captures all the fun and hilarity of the characters from the Disney/Pixar hit, The Incredibles, in an imaginative story set in the Magic Kingdom Park. A touring production, this ice show extravaganza premieres Friday, September 9, 2005, in Orlando, Florida, home of the Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World, with stops in more than 65 North American cities, before heading overseas.

The adventure begins when the Parr family hits the road on their well- deserved vacation to the Magic Kingdom Park. As they ride favorite Disney theme park attractions and meet famous Disney characters, the family's extraordinary powers keep getting in the way. In one instance, Jack-Jack accidentally gets caught on the windmill on "it's a small world," and Bob has to use his super strength to stop the ride, causing a malfunction that accelerates it to lightning speed. It's situations like this that keep the entire family in one comical scene after another.

"This show is truly reminiscent of Disney theme park experiences because the crowd can virtually relive their favorite park memories with the Incredibles," said Feld. "Each show moment takes audiences to lands beyond their imagination just like they remember from the parks."

Adults and children alike will marvel when the Parr family embarks on a swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean voyage, gets spooked in the Haunted Mansion, and takes a wild spin on the Mad Tea Party, among others. But when the scheming Syndrome arrives to spoil everyone's fun, the Parrs must don their Super suits and stop him. Syndrome, however, is better prepared this time, and the Incredibles will need a little help -- from the audience. It will be up to all kids to activate their complimentary Incredi-Band to help the Incredibles save the day!

Heroes once again, the show culminates with a special parade down Main Street, U.S.A. Audiences will be just as thrilled to meet Mickey, Minnie and all of their friends, including: Goofy, Donald and Pluto; Cinderella and Snow White; Alice in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter and many more beloved Disney characters -- as they pass by with dazzling floats.

Under the direction of Creative Director Jerry Bilik, Feld assembled a team of innovative talents, including:
