At D23, Iwerks emphasized that the new season will delve into projects that are currently in development or have recently opened at Disney's theme parks worldwide. The original \"Imagineering Story\" episodes were renowned for their meticulous research and captivating details about the company's innovative history. A recent documentary by Iwerks, \"Disney Worldbuilders,\" premieres at D23 tomorrow morning and highlights the creative minds behind Disney's park attractions. Earlier this year, Iwerks released \"Disneyland Handcrafted,\" a documentary that meticulously chronicled the creation of Disneyland in 1955 using archival footage and interviews. \"The Imagineering Story,\" however, is considered Iwerks' crowning achievement, offering an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the division that Walt Disney founded to foster his creative visions without corporate interference. This division has been instrumental in bringing forth countless patented technologies and groundbreaking innovations seen across Disney's theme parks globally. Season 2 of \"The Imagineering Story\" is set to debut on Disney+ early next year.",
