Additionally, this morning Disney+ subscribers were treated to a slate of all new content from each of its marquee brands: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and in international markets, Star.

“Two years ago, Disney+ exploded onto the scene, growing at an unprecedented rate and bringing high-quality, compelling films and series to audiences,” said Kareem Daniel, Chairman, Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, adding, “Disney+ has become a cultural phenomenon. For Disney+ Day, we’re building on this excitement with a global celebration of our millions of subscribers in a way that only The Walt Disney Company can.”

Sean Bailey, President of Production, Walt Disney Motion Picture Productions, said “We want to tell stories that impact all audiences of all ages and around the world. To do that effectively, one has to embrace a diversity of perspectives both in front of and behind the camera.” To that end, Ayo Davis, President, Disney Branded Television added, “This is such an intentional effort that comes from the top of the Company down to all of us who develop the programming.”

Jennifer Lee, Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney Animation Studios, added that through creating content for Disney+, “We’ve been able to surface talent in the Studio and give them opportunities like we’ve never been able to before.” Similarly, Pete Docter, Chief Creative Officer, Pixar Animation Studios, said, “Disney+ has really allowed us to rethink the way we approach projects here.”
