It's hard to turn the doorknob or climb a bedpost when you're a 15-inch tall cowboy.

This one is for anyone who's ever watched a Disney Pixar movie and wondered what the world would look like from the perspective of an anthropomorphised car, sous chef rat, or a spaceman with an identity crisis.

In its first week in Madrid, Spain, the 'Pixar World exhibition' sold 80,000 tickets, according to Spanish news El Espanol. The exhibition is currently on tour, and will stay in Madrid until April 22, having already been through Brazil.

The exhibition boasts 13 life-sized, 3D interactive movie scenes from iconic Disney Pixar films.

Guests can move through everything from Carl's house in Up to the underwater world of Finding Nemo, the autobarns of Cars, the mind headquarters of Inside Out, the scare floor in Monsters Inc., the land of the dead in Coco, Remi's kitchen from Ratatouille, and the futuristic overture of outer space in Wall-E.

If social media is anything to go by, the crowd standout has been Andy's iconic bedroom from Toy Story. That's the one that's really making a splash online as patrons 'shrink down' to the size of the 1995 action figure cast of the beloved animation.

The exhibition will tour through Europe this year, but there has been no official word on whether Aussies might be able to expect its onshore arrival.

According to Euro Weekly News, the exhibition is not one that travels well, requiring a year's planning, a cargo plane, and weeks of transport time!
