On the Brink Of Magic - Disney History and Fun

Josh D’Amaro is the new CEO of Walt Disney Studios replacing Bob Iger. It remains to be seen what will come of this change but I’m cautiously optimistic. Lilo and Stitch 2 live action is slated for May 26, 2028. The first one made a lot of money so naturally they’re hoping for that again. Will it be a remake of Stitch has a Glitch? Incredibles 3 is slated for June 16, 2028. That’s a long wait but I hope the crew does it justice. Especially since Brad Bird isn’t directing this time (it’s Peter Sohn). Incredibles 2 was good but not great. Hope 3 can change that trajectory.

Jim’s wonderful presentation about the Walt Disney Studio: “Walt’s Dream Factory: A Chronological History of the Disney Studios” Richard Sherman had recently passed away.
