TEA said the attraction "continues to captivate audiences around the world with pure charm, melded with a profound message deceptively hiding in a simple and astonishingly catchy song."

Bistrot Chez Remy at Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris was the recipient of the Award for Outstanding Achievement: Theme Restaurant.
