Anaheim, California – Disney reaffirmed its deep connection with global fans at the D23 Expo, unveiling a slate of upcoming films, series, and documentaries that largely focused on sequels and continuations of beloved franchises. CEO Josh D'Amaro, in his first D23 appearance as head of the company, stressed the importance of understanding the fan experience.
