Get ready for a thrilling ride down memory lane! Ke Huy Quan, the beloved Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, recently reunited with his adventurous roots at Disneyland, and it’s as nostalgic as it gets! Alongside his Zootopia 2 co-star Ginnifer Goodwin, Quan hopped aboard the iconic Indiana Jones Adventure for a Disney Parks social media video that’s equal parts fun and heartwarming. But here’s where it gets even more exciting: Quan, now a seasoned actor, channeled his 13-year-old self by donning a hat inspired by Short Round’s classic New York Giants cap and delivering one of his first lines from the 1984 film: ‘Okey dokey, hold on to your potatoes!’ Is this the ultimate throwback, or what?
Disney threw in a twist by challenging Quan and Goodwin to keep a straight face throughout the ride—no easy feat given the attraction’s twists, turns, and surprises. The result? A video that’s as entertaining as it is impressive. Check it out below and see if they managed to stay stone-faced:
Please hold onto your hats, glasses, potatoes, and reactions! ✨ Time to see if Zootopia 2’s Ginnifer Goodwin and Ke Huy Quan can survive Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland without a squeak! 👀 Watch the video here.
And this is the part most people miss: Quan’s journey from child star to voice actor in Zootopia 2 is a testament to his versatility. In the film, which shattered box office records with a $600 million global gross, Quan voices Gary De’Snake, a mysterious character at the center of a plot that Goodwin’s Judy Hopps and Jason Bateman’s Nick Wilde must unravel. But here’s the controversial question: Does Quan’s performance as Gary De’Snake outshine his iconic role as Short Round, or is there simply no comparison?
Whether you’re team Temple of Doom or team Zootopia 2, one thing’s for sure: Ke Huy Quan’s ability to captivate audiences across generations is undeniable. What’s your take? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears!
