Shanghai Disney Resort’s Garden of the Twelve Friends makes for a uniquely lovely stroll and the perfect spot to snap a picture alongside one of the 12 mosaic vignettes that adorn the garden wall. These stunning glass mosaics—created in close collaboration with local Chinese artists and craftsmen—feature every character of the Chinese zodiac, rendered in Disney style and represented by favorite Disney and Disney•Pixar characters. The characters were chosen to symbolize each element of the Chinese zodiac, but they also retain their own distinctive Disney personalities.
What’s your sign? Find it below, and share it with your friends… and see how many traits you have in common with your favorite Disney star!
Ratatouille’s Remy represents the Year of the Rat. He’s determined, smart and charming. He can adapt to any situation with creative ease.
Babe, Paul Bunyan’s four-legged sidekick in the 1958 short Paul Bunyan, is patient and has a reasonable demeanor—with hints of a stubborn streak. But overall, Babe—who symbolizes the Year of the Ox—is reliable, kind, and strong.
Who else but Tigger could represent the Year of the Tiger? He’s self-assured, eager, and gutsy (along with being bouncy and pouncy), and he’s got intensity, charm, and a willingness to try anything new.
The Year of the Rabbit is symbolized by Thumper, from Bambi. This popular, modest, and honest bunny goes out of his way to show compassion and diplomacy as he faithfully cares for his friends.
People born in the Year of the Dragon—which has Mushu, from Mulan, as its mascot—tend to be confident, creative, and eternally optimistic.
Kaa, the wily and persuasive snake from Disney’s 1967 animated hit The Jungle Book, has some traits that are certainly worth emulating: He can be charming… he’s driven… and he’s nothing if not intelligent, like those born in the Year of the Snake.
Is there any steed more daring, more bold, or braver than Tangled’s Maximus? Folks born during the Year of the Horse tend to be loyal, ambitious, and filled with a sense of adventure.
The jolly holiday lasts throughout the Year of the Sheep, as far as Mary Poppins’ singing lambs are concerned. If your birthday falls during that year, you’re likely kind, sensitive, and have a soothing, quiet charm.
We’re in the Year of the Monkey right now, in 2016, and Abu, from Aladdin, embodies the qualities of cleverness, versatility and, of course, high energy.
Robin Hood’s narrator, Allan-A-Dale, symbolizes the Year of the Rooster. The kind and loyal rooster displays autonomy, confidence, and common sense.
Courage, integrity, and an all-around cheery outlook: These are the qualities traditionally associated with those born in the Year of the Dog, and Mickey’s best pal, Pluto, is the quintessential symbol of that zodiac sign.
Hamm, the wisecracking toy from the Toy Story films, is front and center for the Year of the Pig. He’s always there to help his friends when they need him and, like others born in the Year of the Pig, he’s appreciative, honorable, and optimistic.
