Disney Fan Event: New Trailers for The Lion King, Snow White, and Moana 2

The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, California, has created an atmosphere of excitement, bringing together 15,000 fans for a plethora of film announcements, celebrity appearances, and a sneak peek at some of the studio’s most anticipated projects.

The event mesmerized attendees with a number of trailer debuts for much-anticipated films. One major highlight was “Mufasa: The Lion King,” a follow-up—and a combination of both prequel and sequel—to the 2019 blockbuster, “The Lion King.” The 2019 film had impressed audiences with its “photorealistic animation,” reimagining the iconic 1994 animation. “Mufasa: The Lion King” is directed by Barry Jenkins, known for his work on “Moonlight.” This new film stars Aaron Pierre as a young Mufasa and Kelvin Harrison Jr as Taka, who would grow up to become the infamous Scar.

Adding to the excitement was the teaser trailer for Disney’s live-action remake of the classic animation “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” originally released in 1937. The remake stars Rachel Zegler, known for her role in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story,” as Snow White, and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. The project is directed by Marc Webb, who also directed “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “500 Days of Summer,” with a script authored by Greta Gerwig and Erin Cressida Wilson.

Another promising film introduced at the fan event was “Moana 2.” Dwayne Johnson made a lively entrance, dancing as he introduced the sequel. The film brings back Johnson as Maui, the shapeshifting deity, alongside Auliʻi Cravalho who reprises her role as Moana, the brave daughter of a Polynesian chief. Directed by David Derrick Jr, the event treated fans to the full trailer of this exciting sequel.

The event also delivered for TV enthusiasts, releasing trailers for some highly-anticipated series. “Agatha All Along,” a new series from Marvel, serves as a spinoff from the hit Disney+ series “WandaVision.” The show stars Kathryn Hahn as witch Agatha Harkness and Joe Locke, known from “Heartstopper,” as her familiar. The show explores Agatha’s efforts to escape from the small town in New Jersey where she is trapped.

A new Star Wars series, “Skeleton Crew,” also garnered attention with the release of its trailer. The series stars Jude Law as “Force user” Jod Na Nawood and is set in the post-“Return of the Jedi” era, similar to “The Mandalorian.” It revolves around four children attempting to return to their home planet after discovering a mysterious spaceship.

This Ultimate Disney Fan Event has set high expectations, giving fans a taste of what’s coming next from their favorite studio.
