Credit: DisneyDisney has brought fans a lot of joy through its animated masterpieces, its beloved Parks and resorts, and its commitment to making magic for all ages. That said, not every Disney project makes it off the cutting room floor. However, this Disney title has finally pulled itself free after years of pushback.
To say that everyone has a favorite Disney character wouldn’t be that much of an understatement. From Mickey Mouse to Elsa, fans have adored the studio’s animated cast for nearly a century. In our modern age of streaming services, tablets, consoles, and VR, the characters aren’t strictly bound to our screens anymore.
Shut Up and Drive
Disney and video games have had a touchy relationship for some time. While Disney Interactive has produced some of the most incredible video games on the market, such as the original Ducktales games on the NES or the iconic Kingdom Hearts series, many of their modern titles are semi-passible movie tie-in cash grabs. However, Disney had plans to make an impressive competitor to Nintendo’s Mario Kart, but it lay dormant for years.

Disney Speedstorm’s Big Reveal
Fan’s of other character-focused titles from Disney, such as the award-nominated Dreamlight Valley, will be absolutely thrilled to know that they won’t have to wait much longer to see their favorite heroes, princesses, and villains behind the wheel of their own racing vehicles.
