It’s Gonna Be Mei in New Turning Red Trailer—Plus More in News Briefs

By Courtney Potter

Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red—Official Trailer and Music News

Growing up is a beast… Disney and Pixar’s Turning Red introduces Mei Lee (voice of Rosalie Chiang), a confident, dorky 13-year-old torn between staying her mother’s dutiful daughter and the chaos of adolescence. Her protective, if not slightly overbearing, mother Ming (voice of Sandra Oh), is never far from her daughter—an unfortunate reality for the teenager. And as if changes to her interests, relationships, and body weren’t enough, whenever Mei gets too excited (which is practically ALWAYS), she “poofs” into a giant red panda! Check out the adorable just-released trailer, above.

Joining Chiang and Oh are Orion Lee as the voice of Mei’s dad, Jin, and Wai Ching Ho as the voice of Grandma. Mei’s tightknit group of friends are voiced by Ava Morse as Miriam, Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Priya, and Hyein Park as Abby; Tristan Allerick Chen voices classmate Tyler, and Addie Chandler lends his voice to Mei’s secret crush, Devon.

But wait, there’s more: Turning Red will feature Pixar’s first-ever “boy band,” 4*Town—performing songs written especially for the animated feature by Grammy®-winning superstars Billie Eilish and FINNEAS. The group’s harmonies will be provided by Jordan Fisher, Grayson Villanueva, Josh Levi, Topher Ngo, and Finneas O’Connell.

Look for Turning Red in U.S. theaters beginning March 11, 2022!

Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland

Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland Park to Be Reimagined in 2023

As announced earlier this week by Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, an ambitious reimagining of Mickey’s Toontown in Disneyland park will debut in early 2023, alongside the colorful new attraction Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway!

Building on the legacy of Mickey’s Toontown, Imagineers are working hard to create all-new experiences so families and young kids can have more opportunities to play together inside Disneyland park. Mickey’s Toontown will transform into a vibrant symphony of sights, sounds, and sensations; focusing on the families of today and their young children, Mickey’s Toontown will soon feature all-new play experiences, as well as lush, open, grassy play spaces for everyone to unplug.

One of the new areas coming to Mickey’s Toontown will be CenTOONial Park, the first space guests will see when they enter the land. This natural space will be anchored by two interactive experiences. At the center of CenTOONial Park will be a fountain, designed for lots of fun play, which will also become a central icon for Mickey’s Toontown; as its base, water tables will offer fun and frolic to kids and kids at heart. And at night, the fountain will be brought to life in a unique spectacle. Meanwhile, a nearby dreaming tree will be inspired by the tree a young Walt Disney would daydream under in his hometown.

Look for more info on this fun-tastic Mickey’s Toontown reimagining in the weeks and months ahead.

Celebrate Mickey and Minnie’s Birthday

By Zach Johnson

Break out your party hats and get ready for some cake: we’re wishing Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse a very special happy birthday! Minnie made her debut alongside Mickey in the theatrical short Steamboat Willie on November 18, 1928. This date is considered the duo’s birthday, and we’re thrilled to celebrate them both this year across The Walt Disney Company. To mark the occasion, stars such as Anthony Anderson, Matt Cornett, Meg Donnelly, Derek Hough, Jimmy Kimmel, and Lionel Richie filmed a special shoutout video:

You’re invited to join us in celebrating Mickey and Minnie’s birthday on social media using the special filters found on Mickey’s Facebook and Instagram and Minnie’s Facebook and Instagram. Make sure to use the hashtag #HappyBirthdayMickeyandMinnie when you post!

Like Mickey and Minnie, we want to wear something festive—so don’t forget to snag a birthday button, available at Disney Parks and Resorts and at select Box Lunch locations.

As Disney fans know, Mickey and Minnie were both originally voiced by none other than Walt Disney himself. Walt took on Minnie’s role out of necessity more than anything, and his stint only lasted roughly a year. He continued to voice Mickey until 1946, occasionally reprising the role in the years thereafter. Future Disney Legend Jimmy Macdonald took over until his retirement three decades later, and he was followed by Disney Legend Wayne Allwine, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Bret Iwan.

Adventure Thru The Walt Disney Archives

Adventure Thru The Walt Disney Archives—Friday, November 19, on Disney+
For over 50 years, The Walt Disney Archives has been preserving the history of Disney films, television shows, theme parks, books, and so much more—and now, Disney+ subscribers will get a peek inside its massive collection. The documentary, which premiered in June 2020 exclusively for D23 Gold Members in celebration of The Walt Disney Archives’ 50th anniversary, is hosted by legendary producer Don Hahn. The film looks at beloved Disney icons, including its theme parks and Studio lot, through an engaging, historical lens, as Hahn speaks with Walt Disney Archives director Becky Cline and other members of the Archives team. Each stop on the adventure offers a look at some of the iconic artifacts that have played a role in shaping The Walt Disney Company. The film, directed by John Gleim, features new interviews with Disney Executive Chairman Bob Iger, Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige, Pixar’s Pete Docter, film historian Leonard Maltin, and more.

The Pixar Story

The Pixar Story—Friday, November 19, on Disney+ (New to Library)
Documentarian Leslie Iwerks charts the history of the Pixar Animation Studios in this Emmy®-nominated film.

The Great

The Great—Friday, November 19, on Hulu
Intended for mature audiences, the Emmy- and Golden Globe®-nominated series returns for a second season, which finds Catherine (Elle Fanning) finally taking the Russian throne for her own. But if she thought ousting her husband Peter (Nicholas Hoult) was difficult, it’s nothing compared to the realities of “liberating” a country that doesn’t want to be. Catherine will battle her court, her team, and even her own mother (guest star Gillian Anderson) in a bid to bring the enlightenment to Russia. Meanwhile, she’ll also battle her heart as Peter slowly transitions from much-hated husband to… something else. Catherine is about to learn that becoming “Great” will ask more of her than she could have imagined.

For princess-to-be Giselle (Amy Adams), life is a fairy tale—until she’s banished from the animated land of Andalasia and thrust into the very unmagical, live-action world of modern-day Manhattan. When a no-nonsense divorce lawyer (Patrick Dempsey) comes to her rescue, little does he realize that this joyful, wide-eyed woman is about to enchant him.

EXCLUSIVE: Adventure Thru the Walt Disney Archives Director John Gleim Talks Meeting Mark Hamill, Exploring the Archives, and More

By Jocelyn Buhlman

Every Disney fan dreams of exploring the fabled Walt Disney Archives, where treasures of Disney’s rich history are safely stored and preserved. From our favorite theme park Audio-Animatronics® figures to gorgeous matte paintings that brought movies to life, it is impossible to pick where to start first on a journey into the Archives’ halls. Well, it’s impossible for most Disney fans to pick—but John Gleim, writer and director of the documentary Adventure Thru the Walt Disney Archives, was up to the task of mapping out said adventure. The documentary, which will be available to stream starting Friday, November 19, on Disney+ and previously streamed exclusively in 2020 to D23 Gold Members, delves not just into the warehouses and libraries of the Walt Disney Archives, but to Disneyland, the Walt Disney Studios, and Walt Disney’s former home—all to give Disney fans an inside look at how the Archives not only preserve the history of The Walt Disney Company, but also at how they share that history with Disney fans all over the world, bringing us together in enthusiasm and fandom.

We had a chance to chat with Gleim about his experiences making the documentary—so read on to discover what it was like to have the enviable chance to explore the Archives, meet Disney Legends, and send Don Hahn on an epic quest for a delicious snack:

John Gleim

D23: The Official Disney Fan Club (D23): How did the idea for a documentary about the Walt Disney Archives come about?
John Gleim (JG): The idea for the film was sparked by the then upcoming 50th anniversary of the Archives, which was created in 1970. Rather than make a straightforward “talking head” historical documentary about the Archives with just names and dates, I wanted viewers to experience some of what I experience—the awe of seeing all these great Disney treasures and the joy in speaking with the Archives team about any corner of Disney history. This is truly a love letter to the Walt Disney Archives. I couldn’t have made this happen without Archives director Becky Cline. Her enthusiasm and support for the film were crucial to its success.

John Gleim

D23: The scope of the Archives is HUGE! How did you decide what and how to cover?
JG: The Archives is responsible for documenting and preserving the entirety of The Walt Disney Company, so to start I had to take a very pragmatic approach as far as what to cover. What are the broad types of artifacts the Archives preserves? What are the major locations where the Archives houses artifacts or does their research? And finally, what are some cool artifacts that either I or the Archives team would want to feature? Once I answered all those questions, I was able to begin structuring the film. From a story perspective, I was inspired by the 1941 Disney classic The Reluctant Dragon, where Robert Benchley tours the Studios to seek out Walt Disney. For our film, Don Hahn tours the various Archives locations to find Walt Disney’s office, which has been lovingly restored by the Walt Disney Archives. Another big inspiration was the tone and style of the Disney anthology TV series: DisneylandWalt Disney Presents, and The Wonderful World of Color. In those programs, Walt would inject a bit of fun and magic into what he was showcasing, and I tried to do the same.

D23: Do you have a favorite memory from making the film?
JG: They say “never meet your heroes,” but that was not true while I worked on this film. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, having the opportunity to meet and interview Disney Legend Mark Hamill is something I will never forget. He was so genuine and gracious—and very patient as I talked about my handmade Luke Skywalker ornament that appears on my parents’ Christmas tree every year.

Also, meeting with the Archives staff to decide what artifacts to feature was incredibly fun and overwhelming—in a good way. As excited as I was to see everything, the staff was even more excited to share and talk about these amazing treasures!

D23: What was it like meeting and interviewing Disney Legends and luminaries about the Archives?
JG: In addition to interviewing Mark Hamill, I was fortunate enough to interview many Disney Legends and luminaries who inspire me every day. I can’t even begin to communicate how impactful that was. From speaking with Kurt Russell, Kathryn Beaumont, and Marty Sklar about their time in Walt Disney’s office, to then speak with Bob Iger about restoring Walt’s office, and then going deep into Disney lore with people like Floyd Norman, Leslie Iwerks, Pete Docter and Kevin Feige—it’s very clear there is so much love for the Archives and what they do.

John Gleim

D23: You had access to a lot of unique locations—did you have a favorite place to film?
JG: I have been fortunate to spend time at many of the Archives’ warehouses and research areas—and I can’t discount how fantastic that is. However, I also wanted to show how the Archives staff works outside their offices and warehouses, and to film at one of Walt Disney’s homes was an unparalleled experience. His “Woking Way” home was both exactly what I expected and surprising at every turn. Much of the house was designed by Walt Disney Studios artisans, and I never wanted to leave.

John Gleim

D23: Do you have a favorite item from the Archives that was featured in the film?
JG: It’s impossible to name a favorite artifact from the film—there are just so many! There is a quick cameo of the actual bedknob from Bedknobs and Broomsticks that I love, in addition to the matte painting from the film. The Mickey Mouse doll that Walt Disney had with him on the opening day of Disneyland was incredible. The storybook from Sleeping Beauty, the dipmobile from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the maquettes from Pinocchio—I could go on and on. There are so many fantastic artifacts packed into every frame of the film. To be fair, I had some input as to which artifacts were featured, and the staff of the Archives was kind enough to indulge upon many of my requests.

John Gleim

D23: Don Hahn spends much of the film on an epic quest for a Disneyland corn dog—do you have a favorite snack from the parks?
JG: I wrote the delicious Disneyland corn dog into the script, so, of course, that is my favorite snack from the Parks! Not that I didn’t like corn dogs previously, but I never became obsessed with them until I sampled those from the Little Red Wagon—FYI, Dole Whip and Citrus Swirl are tied for second, and next the long beans from Trader Sam’s. However, I must give credit to Don for turning the corn dog bit into the film’s running gag.
