Calling all Disney fans! We’re live from D23: The Biggest Disney Fan Event, bringing you a ton of news about all things Disney.

D23 Entertainment Showcase

During the Entertainment Showcase, Disney made some major announcements about upcoming movies, but we also learned more about a new miniseries that Disney fans are going to LOVE.

Jon Favreau is leading the charge for a new miniseries featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Oswald was Walt Disney’s creation prior to Mickey Mouse, and now he’s getting his moment in the sun.

During D23, it was revealed that will be a three-part miniseries coming to Disney+ February 2027. The series was originally announced back in March 2025, and casting has already been accomplished for some of the major roles. Those present also got a sneak peek at the series, featuring Oswald rifling through Walt Disney’s desk.

In the miniseries, Oswald is 2D, but in our world. This could be a great watch for Disney history fans! Oswald doesn’t often get much representation in Disney content.

In addition to this, there are a TON of new Disney movies in the works, like Hexed. This movie, which releases on November 25th, 2026, follows a teenage girl named Billie who discovers she has secret magical powers. Once those powers are unleashed, she finds herself on a journey into a “vast witch realm” where she teams up with her mother, Alice, as they uncover family mysteries. This will be the studio’s 65th animated feature! It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating Tangled as the company’s 50th animated feature in 2010.

We also can’t wait to check out Pixar’s upcoming movie, Gatto! The film is about an adorable black cat, Nero, as he begins to question if he’s lived the right lives after years of living in Venice. Nero is indebted to a mob boss cat, Rocco, and he is forced to “forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose — unless Venice gets the better of him first.” This film is coming to theaters on March 5th, 2027.
