Disney has formally announced Disney+ Day for 2021, offering a glimpse of the new films, shorts, and reveals fans can expect.
Though it was mentioned during the last shareholder conference, today brings the official announcement for Disney+ Day. Much like last year, the “celebration” will bring all new content to the streaming service on that day, including Shang-Chi and Jungle Cruise (along with new Simpsons and Frozen shorts).
More than that, however, the day will bring a host of new announcements and trailers to showcase what fans can look forward to on the platform down the road. This will include a new special focused on Boba Fett (likely to prep fans for his upcoming live-action series) along with a special all about the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what the future holds for it.
On Friday, November 12, The Walt Disney Company will host Disney+ Day, a global celebration that will come to life across all dimensions of the Company. Subscribers to Disney+ will be treated to new content releases across the service’s iconic brands, Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Star in international markets, along with a special presentation on Disney+ for fans with sneak peeks into what’s to come. Additionally, the service will continue to engage new audiences around the world, as Disney+ expands into new Asia-Pacific markets on November 12.
In honor of the second anniversary of Disney+, subscribers will have access to promotions and experiences across the Company. Disney Parks and Resorts around the world and Disney Cruise Line will roll out the blue carpet for Disney+ fans with some surprise and delight moments including photo opportunities, character moments and more; shopDisney.com will have special offers; popular network shows and syndicated series will join in the celebration along with talent and series across ABC, Disney Channel, ESPN and ESPN+, Freeform, FX, Hulu, National Geographic in the U.S., and on owned channels abroad.
“The inaugural Disney+ Day will be a grand-scale celebration of our subscribers across the entire company,” said Bob Chapek, Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. “This day of appreciation brings to life our mission to entertain, inform, and inspire fans and families around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling, and will become an annual tentpole event to be amplified across our global businesses.”
