Merry Menagerie is a seasonal freestyle holiday show performed during the holiday seasons at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
==History==
On October 28, 2019, the Disney Parks Live Entertainment team revealed a new puppet show coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom for the holiday seasons. Amongst the characters revealed for the freestyle show include arctic tern birds, reindeer, a seal, polar bears, penguins, and arctic foxes. The puppets were designed in the form of life-sized, artisan-sculpted puppets created through the use of handcrafted natural materials and fabrics with the layout of Discovery Island decorated with white holiday decorations as well as colorful, animal-inspired luminaries. In addition to the animal puppets, it was also revealed that the animals would be accompanied by musicians to create an atmosphere of festivities.
==Attraction summary==
Merry Menagerie is a freestyle show containing puppetry and live musicians at Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom during the holiday season. The animals featured in the show are controlled by puppeteers who can interact with guests during their visit to Animal Kingdom during the holidays, more specifically, animals found in cold regions. In addition to the musicians and the puppets, guests are also able to interact with the puppeteers to join in the fun at Animal Kingdom during the holiday season. Such interactions with the guests can include the fox performing his unique ability of pouncing while interacting with guests, arctic terns flying around guests to entertain them, or guests being able to pet a seal puppet in a gentle manner.
==Trivia==
*Merry Menagerie from Animal Kingdom also shares the name with a similarly-named, unrelated comic strip of the same name made by Bob Karp and Bob Grant produced for Disney from 1947 to 1962 featuring a comical variety of cartoonish illustrations of animals with one line of humorous text below each image. Additionally, bread labels themed around Merry Menagerie were also released to promote the comic.https://www.toonopedia.com/merrymen.htmhttps://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/101309/MERRY-MENAGERIE-BY-WALT-DISNEY-EXTENSIVE-LOT-OF-BREAD-END-LABELS
