It’s going to be something very special, so stay connected for more details coming soon. And you’re the first to hear that the fall issue of Disney twenty-three will be a special edition commemorating this milestone.
“WISH“
This year is also marked by a remarkable new story from Walt Disney Animation Studios, also celebrating its 100th anniversary. They are bringing to life an epic tale that has been a century in the making. Blending multiple styles of animation and referencing a myriad of classic Disney films, “Wish” is positioned to make every wish you’ve ever had come true. To close out the year, D23 will celebrate the debut of this fantastic new feature with special screenings and so much more.
