Disney
fans are invited to explore the making of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ lush
fantasy-adventure Raya and the Last Dragon in the new issue
of Disney twenty-three, which features a stunning wrap-around cover
created exclusively for the publication. The epic film follows the young
warrior Raya on her quest to find the titular last dragon in an effort to save
her land from encroaching darkness. Kelly Marie Tran (who plays Rose Tico in
the Star Wars galaxy) gives voice to the warrior with Awkwafina (Marvel
Studios’ upcoming Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings) as the
fabled dragon. The two stars, along with directors Don Hall and Carlos López
Estrada, sit down to discuss creating this beautiful film that debuts in
theaters and with Disney+ Premier Access on March 5.
In addition, a stunning fine art print of Raya concept artwork created by
Disney animator and artist Paul Felix will be available exclusively to D23 Gold
Members on shopDisney starting March 8 in a limited edition of 500.
Also in the new issue of Disney twenty-three, which is available
exclusively to Gold Members of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, The
Falcon and The Winter Soldier stars Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan
and director Kari Skogland detail making the second Marvel Studios series for
Disney+, and how these two characters deal with their return from “the blip.”
Fans around the world continue to enjoy the enduring legacy of Disney Legend
Jim Henson. From Muppet Treasure Island (celebrating its 25th
anniversary this year) and Dinosaurs (celebrating its
30th)—both available on Disney+—to Muppet*Vision 3D at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which opened 30 years ago, Henson’s genius lives on
in such diverse entertainment as The Muppets Present… Great Moments in
American History at Walt Disney World Resort, as well as Muppets
Now and Earth to Ned on Disney+. His son, director
and producer Brian Henson, and puppeteers Dave Goelz and Bill Barretta discuss
the longstanding relationship between Jim Henson’s creations and Disney.
Plus, Disney twenty-three sits down with superstar and Disney
fan John Stamos to talk about his enduring love of the magic—from acquiring a

Shot. Emmy®, and Tony Award®-winning actor Cynthia
