As the magic of Disney continues to enchant audiences worldwide, The Walt Disney Company celebrated its triumphs and future plans at the eighth edition of the D23 ultimate fan event held in August. Riding high on the colossal success of summer blockbusters “Inside Out 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine,” Disney showcased its powerhouse lineup and ambitious projects.
CEO Bob Iger kicked off the event with a rousing speech to a crowd of 12,000 admirers, stating, “It is such a privilege for me to lead such a remarkable company that brings joy to so many people around the world.” This year, the main showcase moved to the Honda Center, where fans were treated to sneak peeks and surprises for over three hours. Highlights included announcements of two new “Frozen” sequels, the live-action adaptation of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, and Dwayne Johnson’s unveiling of “Moana 2” alongside Polynesian dancers.
Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige provided tantalizing updates about “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Fantastic Four,” while James Cameron revealed the next “Avatar” installment titled “Avatar: Fire and Ash.” Pixar delighted audiences with news of “Incredibles 3” and “Toy Story 5.” Although Lucasfilm’s update on the “Star Wars” universe didn’t include any major cinematic saga revelations, fans were nonetheless excited about “The Mandalorian & Grogu” and “Skeleton Crew.”
The following nights featured even more excitement with Disney Legends Awards to honor icons like Harrison Ford and Miley Cyrus, and announcements of numerous new theme park attractions. From the Avatar Land expansion at Disney California Adventure to Villains Land at Magic Kingdom, Disney revealed a $60 billion investment in parks and experiences, promising magical adventures for years to come.
Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, encapsulated the spirit of the event: “Only Disney can create the kind of timeless experiences that entertain and inspire people of all ages, across generations and geographies.” Indeed, it all started with a mouse, and the journey of magic continues to unfold.
