Disney Worldbuilders Documentary Arrives on Disney+ in August
A new documentary called Disney Worldbuilders is set to arrive on Disney+ on August 20th. The film, directed by Leslie Iwerks, explores how stories come to life at Disney's theme parks around the globe.
The trailer for Disney Worldbuilders has been released, and it features conversations with some of 'Disney's most influential storytellers', including Bob Iger, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Kevin Feige, Jennifer Lee, Pete Docter, Dave Filoni, Jared Bush, and Josh D'Amaro.
These conversations reveal how a 'creative practice' that permeates Disney allows for stories to inspire places, and vice versa. This practice dates back to Walt Disney himself, and continues to provide the path for every new story that Disney tells.
Iwerks said she wanted to understand what ignites the imaginations of the storytellers behind some of the world's most beloved stories. She discovered a common thread among them: they often traced their creative journeys back to a single childhood moment - walking through the gates of Disneyland and realizing that impossible dreams could become real.
