Disney is celebrating their 100th anniversary with special engagements throughout the year. Disney invites fans to sit back, relax and enjoy this big announcement. If there is one thing Disney does right, it’s listening to the fan feedback. Fans have been vocal about their favorite Disney classics and wanting to experience more of the old-school films. This comes after the decrease in interest in recent films like ‘Strange World’ (2022), ‘Quantumania’ (2023), and ‘Elemental’ (2023).
So let the drum roll, please! Just announced, Disney will celebrate Disney 100 with eight classic Disney and Pixar films returning to theaters. For a limited time, fans can experience some of the most classic films on the big screen.
