“It’s an honor to bring our new 3D culinary experience to luxury venues around the world,” said Michael Bickel, president and CEO, TableMation Studios. “We were at the forefront of tech-driven, immersive dining seven years ago when we introduced the original concept for an animated dining experience, and we are excited to premiere our newest show, ‘Nya & Ned Save the World.’ It’s fun and whimsical, pairing perfectly with the four-courses to create a unique instagrammable night out for guests.”
TableMation’s team of artists took more than 50,000 hours to create the experience, featuring laser projectors, 4-K visuals, an original musical score and character dialogue. The creation team includes renowned animation studios, Hollywood writers, Oscar-performing musicians and others.

The multisensory, multicourse experience follows the adventures of Chef Nya and Ned, about to conduct a cooking class when their plans are ruined by nefarious Dr. Animator. Guests embark on adventure around the world, ending at the Eiffel Tower. Ingredients in the animated adventure help inspire the culinary team in preparation of the cuisine, served by choreographed staff.
TableMation’s “Le Petit Chef” currently shows at JW Marriott Washington, D.C.; New York Marriott Marquis; The Fairmont Chicago, Millennium Park; and Hotel Monteleone.
