The showcase began with showing special moments in studio history and an amazing performance by Cynthia Erivo’s of the classic Disney song “When You Wish Upon a Star” from Disney’s live-action version of Pinocchio,” now streaming on Disney+. 

What a way to kick off the show. Of course, ‘When You Wish Upon a Star’ was first heard in the animated film ‘Pinocchio’ in 1940. It’s a motto about dreaming big, dreaming the impossible and making those dreams come true. And that’s something we try to do each and every day at the studio.

said Alan Bergman, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios
D23 Expo

They also unveiled a brand-new logo of the iconic Disney castle, now platinum in honor of Disney’s 100 Years of Wonder celebration.

The new Disney castle introduction will play in front of all Disney theatrical and streaming releases starting this fall.

Here’s what we learned from the Disney Live Action portion of the event:

We love making movies for the big screen and we have some incredible ones coming up. But what’s so exciting about Disney+ is that it gives us a lot of freedom to tell an even bigger range of stories. We continue to explore reimaginings that honor our Disney legacy, and we can also create the next generation of Disney original stories. And of course, we have the chance to explore new chapters of stories we all know and love.

Here’s what we learned from the PIXAR Animation Studios portion of the event:

These last few years have been a time of great change in the world. And it’s led us at Pixar to think about the future. Or, if I’m channeling my inner Joe from ‘Soul,’ I’d ask: ‘Why are we here? What’s our purpose?’ Well, for us, it’s to tell great animated stories. Whether those are theatrical feature films, streaming series or shorts, we think telling stories is foundational to who we are as people. They really define us. And we believe in the power of animation to capture and reflect the stories of our own lives.
