During the fan event, Disney made a slew of announcements, from new details about the new Villains Land coming to the Magic Kingdom to must-try drinks coming to the company’s latest cruise ship, the Disney Destiny, novelty popcorn buckets and sippers coming to Disney theme parks, and more.
Disney also made several big movie announcements. The Mouse House obtained the rights to the Ice Age franchise when it purchased 21st Century Fox back in 2019, and in 2027, they will release a new Ice Age film, Ice Age: Boiling Point. They also gave excited fans a first look at Toy Story 5, which is coming to theaters on June 19, 2026.

But Disney didn’t just stick to creating new movies in tried and true franchises. In November 2026, Disney will release Hexed, a movie about a young boy and his “Type-A” mom, whose lives are turned upside-down by the boy’s magical powers and impact on the entire magical world.
There were so many exciting movie announcements, we didn’t think Disney could possibly have any more, but we were wrong!
A Fun, New Christmas Movie
On November 14, Disney will release a brand-new Disney+ original movie starring the Jonas Brothers. A Very Jonas Christmas Movie will star Kevin, Nick, and Joe Jonas as themselves as they attempt to get from London to New York in time for Christmas, so they can spend the holidays with their families.
The brothers refuse any help from their logistical team — who want to plan their trip home — because they think they can do it on their own. Of course, they can’t, and hilarity ensues as their trip turns into an unexpected adventure.

A Very Jonas Christmas Movie will also star Randall Park as Brad, Billie Lourd as Cassidy, Laverne Cox as Stacy, KJ Apa as Gene, Andrew Barth Feldman as Ethan, and Andrea Martin as Deb. Kenny G and Justin Tranter will also make special appearances. Jessie Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family) will also star as the big man himself, Santa Claus!
As the trailer shows, Nick Jonas’s wife, actress Priyanka Chopra, will also make a special cameo.
A Surprising Team-Up
During Destination D23, Disney also announced that TRON Lightcycle/Run at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and TRON Lightcycle Power Run at the Shanghai Disneyland Resort will be receiving overlays to celebrate the release of Disney’s newest film in the Tron franchise, Tron: Ares.

Tron: Ares will hit theaters nationwide on October 10, 2025, and if the overlay wasn’t enough, Disney shocked fans when it released a promotional video on its official X (formerly Twitter) account starring MrBeast. For those unfamiliar, MrBeast is a YouTube superstar and entrepreneur known for his philanthropic ventures.
The video featured MrBeast on a red Lightcycle, along with an exclusive first look at the new movie.

The special Tron: Ares overlay will begin at the Magic Kingdom on September 15 and at Shanghai Disneyland on September 16. Disney has not said how long these overlays will last, but it is safe to assume that it will at least be until October 10.
In addition to Disney’s new movies we have to look forward to, Pixar also released new images for Zootopia 2, and gave fans more information on its new original films, Hoppers, and Gatto. Zootopia 2 will premiere on November 26, 2025, while Hoppers is set to be released in 2026 and Gatto in 2027.
It was also confirmed that Coco 2 was still in the works, along with a new Incredibles movie.
