She's a little feisty. It's the days-long extravaganza celebrating the magic of possibility.

[00:00:15]

D23, are you ready?

[00:00:18]

The stars, and Disney Superfans coming out for the D23 Convention to be the first to witness Disney history. Long-awaited moments like the teaser trailer of the Snow White Live-Action Remake. Whistle while you work. With Rachel Ziegler and Gal Gadot.

[00:00:41]

Magic mirror on the wall.

[00:00:45]

Who's the fairest one of all. D23, please welcome the one and only Lin-Manuel Miranda. The cast of the new Lion King prequel, Mufasa, taking the stage with Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins. I'll be back. I promise. And Moana, too, debuting with Dwayne Johnson.

[00:01:12]

What a crowd. The biggest crowd ever for Disney's D23. The energy was amazing. And on top of all of that goodness, my family came in, and that was so special. I had my little girls here.

[00:01:24]

My five-year-old, I'm getting major mom cred just by sitting here across from Maui. Exciting new projects also announced over the weekend. The return of a beloved superhero family. That's right.

[00:01:37]

We're making Incredibles 3.

[00:01:41]

And a beloved chosen family. Box Office hit The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman and Zendeya, will soon be making its Broadway debut. Plus, an on-screen mother-daughter reunion more than a decade in the making. Freakier Friday. Back on stage, announcing the sequel to Freaky Friday.

[00:02:07]

We have a Freakier Friday movie for you coming out next year.

[00:02:10]

And what makes it freakier? Everything.

[00:02:12]

Everything, all of it.

[00:02:14]

The switches. So what made you make that phone call to Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney?

[00:02:20]

Please. I was on a world tour after they asked the obligatory questions about the movie I was promoting. They said, When are you making another Freaky Friday? And I realized the global reach of the movie. We can't tell you much, but Lindsay has her own 15-year-old in the movie, which makes me then the grandma. There's loss and the complications of trying to walk a mile in somebody else's shoes. It's what made the first movie so good, and it's what making this movie so good but freakier. The switch is so much so different than the original was. There's a lot of fun cameos in this movie, too. Yes. It's a love letter, Mommies and daughters and families. It's mothers and their children, this is a love letter to them, to just being mothers and the beauty of it all.

[00:03:05]

The duo on stage again at Sunday's Legends ceremony, the largest in its 37-year history with 14 honorees, including Star Wars and Indiana Jones star, Harrison Ford. Stories are for you, about you, about us. I am Queen of the most powerful nation in the world, and my entire family is gone. Black Panther's Angela Bassett.

[00:03:38]

Let us all continue to inspire, to nurture, to encourage future generations.

[00:03:47]

And Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus. I am definitely going to cry. Becoming the youngest star to ever receive the honor. It's legendary to be afraid and do it anyway.

[00:04:01]

There is no such thing as failure when you try.

[00:04:04]

This year's convention, nearly 1 million square feet of photo ops displays and exhibits. The transported fans up a galaxy far, far away. May I try, please? Of course. And down the way of water. Not going to lie, I'm a little scared. D23 also revealed spectacular plans for four new cruise ships, 14 new attractions like Stark Flight Lab, with the one and only Robert Downey Jr. Returning as Ironman.

[00:04:41]

Robert Downey Jr. Will be repreasing his role as Tony Stark as we bring these new experiences to life at Avengers campus.

[00:04:48]

And six new lands and areas giving a home to some of Disney's most infamous characters.

[00:04:55]

We are building a villain land at the Magic Kingdom. You want someone special. ♪ We do. ♪ Like Disney, royalty.

[00:05:06]

♪ Yes.

[00:05:08]

Me. Oh, my God.

[00:05:12]

Billy Crystal announcing the first land dedicated exclusively to Monster Zinc, featuring a roller coaster where guests can experience what it's like to zoom through the door vault in the factory, just like Mike and Sully.

[00:05:25]

The Imagineers are hard at work on making that come to life in such a special way. So excited.

[00:05:34]

And while the festivities may have come to an end, Mickey's magic lives on with a little something in store for everyone.
