D23 lures more than 20,000 fans

D23 lures Disney fans Company touts goods, films at convention Variety After hitting the road to court fans at Comic-Con in San Diego this summer, Disney has found a way to do the same thing in its own backyard. Over the past four days, Disney touted pretty much everything the company has to offer — especially its films and TV shows, theme parks and various merchandise lines, from wedding dresses to collectible pins — at the D23 Expo, the Mouse House's answer to Comic-Con, held at the Anaheim Convention Center, across the street from Disneyland. The event can easily be considered a success in its first year, having sold more than 20,000 tickets to mostly die-hard fans who wanted first looks at toons like The Princess and the Frog, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Rapunzel, A Christmas Carol, Alice in Wonderland, Tron Legacy and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Disney also used the confab to unveil Double Dare You as a toon production label with Guillermo del Toro to produce scarier animated pics; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as the title of the fourth swashbuckler in the franchise, to bow in 2011; The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made for the return of the Muppets on the bigscreen; and a 3-D revamp of the Star Tours ride. All the first-year growing pains Disney will surely fix as it readies another D23 next year and even takes some of the show on the road to other cities. by Marc Graser complete article
