Angry Dogs in Pixar Promenade offers hot dogs, chips and beverages in an open-air walk-up location on the waterfront. Anger, the outrageously fun character from Disney•Pixar’s “Inside Out,” stands 35 inches high on a light stand and true to his nature, he is angry. The raging orange-red flames from his forehead appear to roast spicy and not-so-spicy hot dogs for guests.

February 15, 1950 Walt Disney Pictures released Cinderella in theaters. This year is Cinderella's 70th anniversary. She is one of the world's most beloved Disney Princesses.
