Today, Disney+ debuted the first teaser for Disney Worldbuilders, a new feature documentary directed by Academy Award– and Emmy–nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks, coming to Disney+ in August.
In Disney Worldbuilders, Leslie sits down with some of the key figures shaping Disney’s most enduring stories for a series of intimate conversations about their early years, first sparks, and formative Disney memories — and how the worlds they once dreamed up are now taking shape at Disney destinations around the globe.
Disney Worldbuilders doesn’t stop at how these worlds came to be — it goes behind the walls of what’s coming next, offering rare glimpses of new lands, areas, and experiences taking shape; stories still in the making; and a first look at where Disney’s worldbuilding goes from here.
