The winter issue of Disney twenty-three arrives November 2 with stunning collectible covers and an exclusive sneak peek at TRON: Legacy.
Readers will have an exclusive all access sneak peek at the upcoming Disney feature film TRON: Legacy (in theaters December 17, 2010) when Disney twenty-three‘s Winter issue debuts in select retail locations on November 2. Featuring one of the first comprehensive filmmaker interviews for TRON: Legacy, the Winter issue of Disney twenty-three magazine, produced by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, is loaded with stories to delight Disney fans and the general public alike.
The issue offers in-depth discussions with TRON: Legacy filmmakers and features two highly collectible covers. One cover is sent exclusively to D23 Members and the other will be available for purchase at select Barnes & Noble and Borders bookstore locations, online at DisneyStore.com and throughout the Disneyland® and Walt Disney World® Resorts.
Director Joseph Kosinski and Producer Sean Bailey offer commentary on everything from behind-the-scenes moments and the personal memories that inspired participation in this cult-classic-sequel to the technical details that breathed life into the project. Writer Steven Lisberger even addresses the nearly thirty year gap between this film and the original release, saying: “The reason it took the 25 to 28 years is because we needed the ten-year-olds to grow up and be powerful enough to make this movie so that they could take their ten-year-old sons to see it.”
Packed with gorgeous photos, extensive content and splendid artwork, the winter issue of Disney twenty-three, which was previewed on the Friday, October 22 episode of Entertainment Tonight, also gives readers an incredible opportunity to explore the architecture of the new Aulani Resort & Spa, Disney’s first resort in Hawai`i, appropriately planted in the midst of a culture alive with history and a rich storytelling tradition.
The issue also celebrates the career of Disney Legend Dave Smith, Disney’s Chief Archivist, and pays a fond farewell to the man who founded the Walt Disney Archives 40 years ago.
Disney twenty-three also looks back at classic Disney with two very special pieces. The first displays the Holiday season through the eyes of Walt and his family. A perfect fit for the winter issue, the piece gives fans the privilege of an intimate look at Walt’s home life. The second is the result of newly discovered footage that chronicles Walt’s last time in front of the camera in the Studio’s legendary Sound Stage 1. And there’s even more for Disney fans to explore in the winter issue of Disney twenty-three.
As with every issue of Disney twenty-three, D23 Members receive an added bonus. This issue, which features a specially designed collectible cover, also comes with an exclusive TRON: Legacy gift that will be shipped to members.
