BURBANK,
Calif. – AUGUST 10, 2015 – In celebration of D23 EXPO 2015, D23: The
Official Disney Fan Club is devoting its Fall publication of
Disney twenty-three to some of the remarkable things guests will
get to see and experience at the biennial event. And as The Walt Disney
Company readies for the opening of Shanghai Disney Resort, readers will
get an in-depth look at the amazing new park
set to open next year—including spectacular concept artwork and a look
at some of the new attractions being built right now in China.
Also in the Fall issue, available exclusively to
D23 Gold Members, two of the members of the original
Toy Story team reflect back on the earliest stages of the beloved
film, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, including an unexpected
encounter the film’s art director, Ralph Eggleston, had with Disney
Legend and Apple founder, Steve Jobs.
In
addition, the talented artists at Marvel and creative minds at Walt
Disney Imagineering teamed up to create what is now a wildly successful
line of new comic books
based on theme park favorites—Disney Kingdoms. Disney twenty-three looks at the three current titles—Figment, Big Thunder Mountain,
and Seekers of the Weird—and gives readers a peek at what’s to come.
Also included in the Fall issue of Disney twenty-three:
- Profiles of the 2015 recipients of the Disney Legends Award including George Lucas, Andreas Deja, Eyvind Earle, and Danny Elfman
