Disney has announced a slew of future theme park and cruise projects to be developed in the coming years, including a villains-themed land, an "Encanto" ride, an ability to take flight like Iron Man, and a new level of audio-animatronic technology that will bring Walt Disney to life in front of guests. Fans at Disney's biannual #D23 convention had been eagerly anticipating details of these new projects for several years, complaining that previous announcements had teased only vague concepts. But at Saturday night's high-octane presentation at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, 12,000 fans in attendance learned how the company's promised $60 billion investment in parks and cruises will take shape over the next decade. In an interview with CNN, Chairperson of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Josh D'Amaro, said, "What we're doing, I think, more aggressively than we ever have before, is taking advantage of technology, not for technology's sake, but to create magical – almost mind-bending – experiences."

The familiar feels good. That was the obvious crowd sentiment at the D23 Disney Entertainment Showcase, where the company previewed its upcoming lineup of film and streaming comfort content. D23, for those unfamiliar with the biennial pilgrimage of Disney fans to Anaheim, California, is part cosplay convention, part promotional pep fest. For the 12,000 people who gathered in a packed arena for an evening of Disney trailers, teases and stars, it was like a pop revival of infectious fun. With sneak-peeks at “Moana 2,” “Avatar 3,” “The Mandolorian & Grogu,” “Mufasa: The Lion King” and (much) more, the event was peppered with confetti, blasts of pyrotechnics, an impressive David Blaine magic trick and the music of Lin Manuel Miranda. It was as if Disney, borrowing a line from Russell Crowe in “Gladiator,” asked, “Are you not entertained?” Hard not to be. Here’s a look at some of the new – and newly updated – titles coming from the wide array of Disney’s studios. ⬇️

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has ruled that the initial inquiry made by the USA over Jordan Chiles’ score in Monday’s gymnastics floor exercise final was filed after the one-minute deadline. That means that Chiles’ score is being reverted to the original 13.666, which was only good enough for fifth place. It’s unclear as of Saturday what that means for the bronze medal that Chiles was awarded.
