D23 enchants, but that Disney magic always comes at a price
Look, X-Men! Never mind those layoffs.
Disney's D23 fan event in Anaheim this past weekend showcased upcoming releases from Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars, drawing an international audience of 12,000 fans. The event began with CEO Josh D'Amaro acknowledging recent layoffs at Disney, sparking mixed reactions from attendees. Despite the potential cost of Disney's magic, fans braved long journeys to be a part of the event, which featured live performances, announcements, and a sense of anticipation for new projects.
While some reactions to Star Wars-related announcements were mixed, the audience's overall enthusiasm was evident in their reactions to Ahsoka, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Frozen 3. Even with technical difficulties during the Frozen 3 performance, the audience's passion remained undeniable.
