BURBANK, Calif. – JULY 29, 2014 – To celebrate 23
issues of its collectible publication, Disney
twenty-three, D23: The Official Disney Fan Club
circles the planet to experience Disney’s worlds from Europe, South America,
and Asia to the fantastical fictional realms of San Fransokyo and Once Upon a Time‘s Enchanted Forest.
Disney twenty-three‘s Fall issue, available exclusively
to Gold Members of D23, starts the
journey with a visit to France for an in-depth look at how the creative team at
Walt Disney Imagineering brought the spectacular world of Ratatouille to life at Disneyland Paris for Ratatouille: The Adventure. Then it’s off to Japan where Treasures
of the Walt Disney Archives is touring the country with a dazzling exhibit
featuring more than 70 props, costumes, images, and artifacts. In “It’s A
Disney World After All,” D23 goes on a non-stop tour from Latin America to the Middle East to look
at Disney’s indelible mark on the rich cultures of many nations. And, in true
Disney fashion, we visit the stunning and sleek fictional city of San Fransokyo for a look at spectacular concept art that inspired
the upcoming Walt Disney Feature Animation release Big Hero 6.
The cover of the issue features a spectacular photo mosaic with a classic image of Walt and Roy O. Disney with Margie Gay of the Alice Comedies shorts series, courtesy of images of D23 Member fan and event images from around the globe over the past five years.
