[Toyosu] Mundo Pixar: Twelve Rooms, and the Longest Stop Was Remy’s Kitchen

Travel

The three of us went to Mundo Pixar in Toyosu. I would not call myself a devoted Pixar fan. But if I had to name one film, I would say Ratatouille without hesitating.

Six months ago it needed booking. That day there were walk-up tickets

The venue is CREVIA BASE Tokyo in Toyosu, with that yellow ball sitting out front. Around half a year ago the exhibition was popular enough that you could not get in without a reservation; on this day same-day tickets were on sale. The rush, it seems, has settled.

The opening screen reading MUNDO PIXAR at the entrance to the exhibition

Just inside, a large screen carries the words MUNDO PIXAR. From there the route runs through twelve rooms, one after another.

Twelve rooms, walked in order

A room recreating the world of Toy Story, with life-size Woody and Buzz figures

In the Toy Story room, Andy’s bedroom has been stood up at full scale. A small child was gazing up at the life-size figures with a very serious face.

A blue-lit room recreating the world of Monsters, Inc.

Monsters, Inc. is a room sunk in blue light, that world of doors rebuilt at body scale.

A room recreating the coral reef of Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo puts you inside the reef. The colour is straight out of the film, and it does feel like stepping underwater.

A room recreating the world of Coco, filled with marigolds and papel picado

The Coco room is filled with marigold orange and cut-paper banners. A sequel to that film has been announced, with a 2029 release confirmed and the director returning.

Cars was there too. Every room held a mix of small children and adults who were plainly fans, and that mix was interesting to watch in its own right.

I stood longest in front of Remy’s kitchen

And then Ratatouille. The story of a rat who, borrowing a pair of human hands, ends up earning three stars. The kitchen has been rebuilt at a rat’s scale: a wedge of cheese taller than you are, a rolling pin, a pot with Remy standing on the rim.

Food that looks worth eating, and the air of Paris — for me that is what film is for, and this one is the clearest example of it. So this is where I stayed longest. I would like a sequel, and I will admit it.

Toy Story 5 has been in cinemas here since July. Pixar is going to be part of this household for a while yet.

On the way out, an announcement suggested — almost under its breath — that visitors post with the exhibition hashtag. So here it is.

Mundo Pixar in Toyosu: questions I had

Where is the venue?

CREVIA BASE Tokyo in Toyosu, Koto City, Tokyo (6-4-25 Toyosu). The big yellow ball sitting out front makes it easy to spot.

Do I need to book in advance?

Six months earlier the exhibition was said to require a reservation, but on the day we went same-day tickets were on sale. Demand changes, so check the event listing or the ticket sites for current availability before you go.

How is the exhibition laid out, and how long does it take?

The route runs through twelve rooms in order, with more than twenty-four life-size characters along the way. I took my time and stopped for photographs; the scale is small enough that pausing in every room never felt like a burden.

Which room stayed with you the most?

The Ratatouille kitchen. It is rebuilt at a rat’s scale — cheese, a rolling pin and pots all larger than you are, with Remy standing on the rim. That is where I stopped the longest.

How long does the exhibition run?

At the time of my visit the dates given were 20 March to 12 October 2026. Dates, opening hours and prices can change, so check the official event information for the latest.

Is it worth going with children?

Every room held a mix of small children and grown-up fans. Watching a young child look up at a life-size figure with a completely serious face was part of the pleasure of the place.

Visited in August 2026. Dates, prices and opening information are as of the date of the visit.
