The four environments will include the Disney+ Theater, which was inspired by the historic El Capitan Theatre, the Scare Floor from Monsters Inc., Avengers Tower overlooking Manhattan, and the cockpit of Luke Skywalker’s land speeder, which will face a sunset on Tatooine.
“We’re so excited about the new frontiers of storytelling that platforms like Vision Pro will open to us,” said Jamie Voris, EVP and CTO at The Walt Disney Studios. “Spatial computing will allow us to bring our characters and stories to life in ways that were previously impossible – taking you to amazing places or enabling you to experience unbelievable things, all while bringing you closer to the people you care about.”

Users who previously purchased 3D versions of their favorite Disney from the Apple TV app will also be able to access those titles at no additional cost.
The Next Generation of Storytelling
The new collaboration is the next step in Disney’s commitment to storytelling. Through a combination of technology and Disney magic, fans can watch their favorite films in an all-new way.
“We’re a storytelling company first,” LaBerge said. “But we have incredible technological know-how and sophistication. Add to that, a legacy and culture of always seeking new ways to entertain, inform, and inspire.”
