Michael Vargo.
1:11
Got to play the leader of the club,
1:12
right? Nice to see everyone. Welcome to
1:14
D23, the ultimate Disney fan event. We
1:18
are so excited to open the doors
1:20
tomorrow to celebrate the biggest Disney
1:22
fans in the world. We have been working
1:25
so hard to put together this incredible
1:27
show floor as you have seen. And uh it's
1:30
the biggest show floor we've ever had at
1:32
D23. And this is our ninth event here in
1:36
Anaheim. And we're actually going global
1:38
with D23. You know, we've been to Sa
1:40
Paulo, Brazil. We've been to Tokyo as
1:43
well. And you may have seen the
1:45
announced D23 Asia coming to Singapore
1:48
next year. Well, I'm very excited about
1:51
that one. And I'm excited to share with
1:53
you some really great news about D23
1:55
Asia. We are announcing the dates are
1:58
going to be June 25th, 26th, and 27th of
2:02
2027. And we're going to be at the
2:04
Marina Bay Sands uh resort there in
2:08
Singapore. So very excited to announce
2:11
the location and the dates of D23 Asia.
2:14
So I hope you all enjoy the exhibition
2:17
here. This is a fan favorite of ours,
2:20
the Walt Disney Archives Unraded. We
2:23
basically took our warehouses, combined
2:25
them all, and brought them here to the
2:27
show floor at D23. And what a great way
2:30
to experience the Walt Disney Archives.
2:32
We have more pieces here than we've ever
2:34
had on an exhibition. So very excited to
2:37
share this with our fans tomorrow. But I
2:39
would love to have someone come up and
2:41
tell me a little bit more and tell you a
2:43
little more about the exhibition and
2:45
some treasures that we might unearth
2:47
here as well. So please welcome director
2:50
of the state archives.
2:56
Thank you Michael.
2:57
>> So this is awesome.
2:59
>> This is so exciting. So fun.
3:00
>> We have been working so hard on this
3:02
exhibition. I hope you'll love it as
3:03
much as we have. It's been um one of the
3:07
things that I get asked all the time is
3:09
where do you keep everything and what
3:11
does it look like and it can we go to
3:13
your warehouse and see it all because
3:15
they just envision this enormous space
3:18
and it's true we have great warehouse
3:19
space and to be honest with you it looks
3:22
kind of like the last scene in Raiders
3:23
of the Lost Ark. It's just lots of
3:26
crates in a big warehouse on lots of
3:29
shelves with forklifts and things, but
3:31
you know, it's magical stuff inside
3:33
those crates. And so, um, I've always
3:36
tried to tell people this is this is
3:37
what's really there, and we can't tell
3:39
you where it is. We can't take you
3:41
there, but we thought this time we'll
3:42
take people there, let you see what it's
3:44
like behind the scenes at the Walt
3:46
Disney Archives in our warehouses. So,
3:49
we put together this great exhibit and
3:52
uh like Michael said, there's there's so
3:53
many assets in here. There's over 200
3:55
assets in this exhibition, which is more
3:58
than we've ever brought down to Anaheim
3:59
for the D23 event. So, we're really
4:02
excited to share that with you.
4:04
Everything you see is is real. And we
4:07
actually have a lot of things here that
4:08
we're sharing with you that we have
4:09
never displayed or exhibited before.
4:12
There's uh there's something wonderful
4:14
in doing an exhibition like this where
4:16
we can just say, well, you know, we've
4:17
never shown this outfit from Hannah
4:19
Montana or we've never shown, you know,
4:21
this figure from the Muppets. So, we
4:23
thought it'd be really fun to do
4:24
something that we just pull out all of
4:26
our favorite new things and share them
4:28
with all of you. So, we hope you enjoy
4:30
seeing this exhibition. And um
4:33
>> I think we actually have a special
4:34
delivery.
4:35
>> Yeah. So, the last crate came today.
4:37
>> Should we take a look and see what's
4:38
inside?
4:38
>> So, let's show you what's inside. It
4:40
won't be me cuz I'm out here.
4:43
>> Leaders. We're going to share this with
4:45
you. And this is another thing that's
4:46
special about this exhibit is we have a
4:48
stage and we're going to do some
4:49
unboxing and programming. So, we'll be
4:51
able to come back and see things.
4:58
>> So, yeah. So, we're going to be doing an
4:59
uncrating ceremony several times a day.
5:03
>> Yeah. So, and they're mystery boxes. So,
5:04
we're going to allow a fan to come up,
5:06
choose a box to uncrate, and one of our
5:09
archists will be here to tell about tell
5:11
about what's inside. So, what are you
5:12
going to do?
5:13
>> So, we're going to start with this one.
5:14
There's some really great stuff in here.
5:16
Of course, I'll start here. And
5:17
actually, if some of the archive staff
5:19
is here, I'm going to hand things off so
5:20
you can put them where they belong.
5:22
We're going to start here with little
5:24
Robin, who's our littlest muppet. He's
5:27
just so sweet. So, Taylor's going to
5:29
take him and put him back where he
5:30
belongs. Uh, I'll start next with this
5:32
one. Would somebody want to come and get
5:34
this one from me?
5:36
There you go, Johnny. So, this is the
5:39
blue cerulean sweater from Devil Wears
5:41
Prada, too. Warned by Annne Hathaway.
5:44
And it's really fun because we have the
5:46
one from the original film, which is
5:47
hanging back there. You'll see it on the
5:49
our dress dummy back there. And they
5:51
borrowed that from us to make this one
5:54
for the second film. So, that's kind of
5:55
special.
5:57
>> And then we've got something from the
5:59
back room there. We got Hannah Montana.
6:01
So, this is from born from Hannah,
6:04
Montana. So, we're going to let Haley
6:06
take that and put that back. Isn't that
6:07
fun? And then I got some really small
6:10
pieces here. I love this one. This one
6:13
is from the TV series Dinosaur.
6:15
>> Isn't that cute? So, this is the uh
6:17
little baby ball. Tyler's going to put
6:20
that where it goes.
6:22
This one's pretty special. I think all
6:24
of you know what this one is from
6:26
Aladdin. Beautiful lamp. Kelsey's going
6:30
to take that.
6:32
And this is a fun one. I love this. This
6:34
is from Captain Eio. This is Major Doo.
6:38
Lonnie's going to put him in the sci-fi
6:40
section. And the very last piece we
6:43
saved for for last is this piece right
6:46
here. If you notice, if you see up
6:48
close, you see it says Wed on it. This
6:50
is Walt Disney's Travel Police. So, this
6:54
is the one that he kept in his office.
6:56
He would take scripts home at night.
6:57
He'd put them in and take them home and
6:59
read them and work on them and digest
7:01
them and then bring them back with his
7:02
notes the next morning. And this stays
7:05
in Walt's office and we haven't
7:06
displayed it ever anywhere. And so it's
7:10
usually in Walt's office, but we brought
7:11
it here to share for this very special
7:13
exhibit. So the very last piece we want
7:15
to share, of course, is something that
7:16
is connected directly to Walt.
7:18
>> That's pretty cool. Thank you.
7:23
Well, we hope you can all go and enjoy
7:25
the treasures here at Walt Disney
7:27
Archives Uncreated. We have some food
7:28
and beverage for you as well. Please
7:30
enjoy the rest of the weekend. We're so
7:33
excited to celebrate all of our Disney
7:34
fans together. So, thank you for being a
7:36
part of it. Thank you so much.
7:58
It's super cool.
8:09

8:37

9:21
I like my way.
9:48

11:16
cooler like
11:39

11:42
This is like
11:49

12:16

12:26
