From ‘The Little Mermaid’ To ‘Disenchanted’, Sneak Peeks From Disney’s D23 Expo Gave Us A Lot To Be Excited About!
Animated movies are a genre that most of us enjoy; in fact, I have yet to meet anyone who does not enjoy animated films. They are interesting, have cute and adorable characters, and have a storyline that is extremely valuable and worth watching. This genre appeals to people of all ages, from children to adults. And now, Disney, a well-known production house in this field, has given us a slew of films to look forward to. On the first day of the three-day Disney D23 Expo that happened on September 9, Friday saw the release of trailers for an exciting lineup of movies. This list is sure to include many of your favourites, ranging from The Little Mermaid Inside Out, and Disenchanted to Hocus Pocus 2.
The Little Mermaid Teaser
Oh the visuals, already living for it. A short teaser video of the movie The Little Mermaid was showcased on the first day of the Disney D23 Expo. It stars Halle Bailey as Ariel and is directed by Bob Marshall. In the teaser video, you can see the eye-soothing underwater visual. We also get a beautiful glimpse of Ariel AKA Bailey singing the song “Part of your world”. The movie has been scheduled to release in May 2023.
Inside Out 2 Announced
Okay, I am sure whenever there is a conversation about animes, Inside Out, has always been on everyone’s list. And to add to this excitement, the sequel of this movie has been announced. Inside Out 2 will be a sequel to the 2015 release that is still a hit among movie lovers. The movie will be directed by Kelsy Mann. In this sequel the main character, Riley will be shown as a grown-up, and let’s see how she deals with all her emotions now. We still have to wait for some time as the movie is scheduled to release in the year 2024.

Mufasa: Lion King Movie Announcement
The last Lion King movie released in 2019 was a super hit among the audience across the world. This time the new Lion King movie announced will revolve around the story of Mufasa and how he navigated his way to make his empire. There was a short video shown at the Disney D23 Expo in which the Mufasa was shown as a little cub who is an orphan standing alone in a desert. So this is basically a prequel to the life of Mufasa.
