BURBANK, Calif. – February 17, 2016
– In the 10 years since John Lasseter and Ed Catmull took over the
reins of what is now Walt Disney Animation Studios, Disney has
enjoyed incredible creative and box office success with such films as Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Big Hero 6, and, of course,
Frozen. The spring 2016 issue of Disney twenty-three looks
at the creative talents—from writers and directors to producers and
animators—who have driven this wave of superior filmmaking that has
resulted in two Academy Awards® for Best
Animated Feature for the studio.
Disney twenty-three, available exclusively to

includes exclusive interviews with Lasseter and Catmull, as well as the
teams behind Walt Disney Animation Studios’ run of hits, discussing the
secrets behind their work and how a Disney animated film
goes from concept to creation. Plus, Disney twenty-three unveils
rarely seen visual development art created for the Studio’s most recent
films. There are also advance looks at the upcoming animated films
Zootopia—including a revealing one-on-one with star Ginnifer Goodwin—and
Moana.
In addition to the animation celebration, the issue offers a sneak peek of
Captain America: Civil War, featuring exclusive interviews with
star Chris Evans and one of the film’s directors, Joe Russo. And
director Jon Favreau details the incredible work behind crafting the
stunning live-action adaptation of
The Jungle Book, including how he snared Bill Murray to voice Baloo the bear.
