Platinum blue details will go up around Disneyland Park, Downtown Disney, and Disney California Adventure Park. Additionally, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will debut special 100th-anniversary outfits. D’Amaro didn’t specify if Mickey and Minnie’s new outfits would be the same as those debuted at a different D23 Expo panel on Friday.
The Walt Disney Company has a lot of surprises in store for its 100th anniversary, including an all-new film from Walt Disney Animation Studios. WISH will tell the story of the wishing star, featuring music by Julia Michaels and voice acting by Ariana DeBose and Alan Tudyk. The film will feature a 17-year-old girl named Asha (DeBose), whose wish calls down the nonverbal “Star” and her pet goat, Valentino. WISH is coming to theaters in 2023.
