As a diehard Disney fan , few things are more exciting than a new movie release (especially if it’s part of a beloved franchise). And after this weekend’s entertainment showcase at the 2024 D23 Expo, the media giant has not one, not two, but 15 (!) new movie and TV show announcements from the studios of Disney and Pixar. For the uninitiated, D23 is the official Disney fan club founded in 2009, and twice a year they host an expo filled with sneak peeks, insider experiences and celebrity appearances. Here’s every exciting movie and TV show announcement to come out of the 2024 D23 Expo, from Pixar’s first animated series to a live-action Experiment 626.
