This fall, a group of 10 Taiwanese sand sculpture artists gathered to create 18 different Pixar-themed pieces for the region’s annual Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival. The month-and-a-half long exhibition took place from mid-September through the end of October. Thirteen Pixar films featured in the works that included more than 40 heart-warming Pixar characters.

“Taiwanese artists spent over 2,200 hours creating over 18 different Pixar-themed sculptures for this year’s Fulong Sand Art Festival,” according to a post on Pixar’s Facebook page.
The incredible sculpting work really took on the finer details of a number of popular Pixar story lines, including “Up” and the recently released, “Luca.”

“The sculpture festival was originally scheduled to open in July, but it was delayed due to a typhoon, which damaged the works already created, [Central News Agency] reported. … Fulong Beach, which has an area of 60,000 square meters, reopened to beachgoers in August, according to the [organizer, Fullon Hotel],” stated an article published in Taiwan News.

Among the intricate works, Joe Gardner and therapy cat Mr. Mittens from the animated feature film “Soul” starred in a skyline-bordered piece as they walked across piano keys.

The marigolds of “Coco” dotted the bottom of a sculpture dedicated to the remakrable film with pet dog Dante entertained by Miguel and his lost great-great-grandfather Héctor Rivera.

A number of touching Pixar frienships also featured in the sand structures, including that of Wall-E and Eva as well as Buzz and Woody.

Of course, a display as incredible as this one would not have been complete without dispalying the powerful family bond of the Incredibles.
