Chip & Dale’s Imagineering Rangers invite you to dine at Luxo’s, Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ latest addition. Located in Pixar Place, next to Toy Story Midway Mania!, Luxo’s is an upscale, art-deco inspired restaurant.
Story: While Luxo’s may be new to DHS, it’s history runs deep for Pixar. In the summer of 1994, there was a lunch. All the main Pixar executives were present and had been close to finishing Toy Story. That day, they began to brainstorm ideas for new movies, which eventually became Bugs Life, Finding Nemo, Monsters Incorporated, and WALL E. 16 years later, the same executives returned to the same restaurant, ironically just before Toy Story 3 is released, to knock around some more ideas for future movies. Then, John Lasseter had another idea. "Guys," he said, "I know realize the true importance of this restaurant. If you think about it, the last time we were here, we laid out our entire business plan. I think we should purchase this restaurant and make it our own." So they did. After a short brainstorming session, the restaurant name "Luxo's", based on one of their mascots, was chosen. The executives then realized that they had way too much work on their hands to design a restaurant, so this responsibility was given to a team of Imagineers. Their task was to create the original Luxo's, and an exact counterpart in Pixar Place in Disney's Hollywood Studios. This task is currently in the process of being completed.
Location and Design: Luxo’s is located in the formally vacant soundstage next to Toy Story Midway Mania! and contains a large bar area and a large dining room with three ‘themed’ areas. As you approach Luxo’s you’ll first be greeted with a grand staircase leading to a large revolving glass door:

The first room you enter is the welcome/waiting area. You’ll notice that the walls are stark white, symbolizing the blank slate the Pixar creators started with in 1994. This area will give the guests a place to start their dreaming and inspiration.
To your right is the bar. With a large seating area, there is plenty of room for everyone to relax before dinner or perhaps just stop in for a cocktail. The main focal point of the bar is the large fish tank located near the center of the room. Take a closer look and you fill see a few of your favorite friends from Finding Nemo.

When it’s time to eat you’ll be seated in one of three areas:
-Short Films From Pixar
-Full-Length Pixar Films
-Infinity and Beyond! (upcoming projects)
Each of the three areas will feature concept art and figures and sculptures from the films that the area represents. The art will be featured on the outside walls and on the dividers which separate the three areas and will be framed with decretive glass. The sculptures and figures will be present on top of the dividers and on small end-caps between the dividers. Some examples of the art and sculptures are:

As an overall design please take a look at the floor plan:

The exterior walls and ceiling will be very high, with the room dividers much smaller in scale. Each area will have extreme detail as seen here:
