Disney Worldbuilders documentary release

Overview

Disney announced the upcoming release of ‘Disney Worldbuilders’, a documentary directed by Leslie Iwerks. The film explores the creative process of transforming stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm into physical experiences within Disney Parks.

Following its premiere at the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the documentary became available for streaming on Disney+ on August 20. For viewers without a standalone subscription, access was also available through specific DIRECTV packages, such as the Signature, MyEntertainment, or MyKids plans, via a five-day free trial.

The film features interviews with high-profile figures, including Bob Iger, James Cameron, Kevin Feige, Pete Docter, Jon Favreau, and Jennifer Lee. It examines how cinematic franchises—including Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and Avatar—are translated into immersive environments and how childhood experiences at Disneyland often influence creators. Additionally, the documentary touches upon Disney’s current creative expansion, including upcoming lands and international developments such as a new major park site in Abu Dhabi.
