“For many decades, The Walt Disney Company has been entertaining consumers and has been an integral part of the local creative ecosystem. Today, we are making another commitment by combining the global resources of the company with the best content creators from Asia Pacific to develop and produce original stories on Disney+.
With over-the-top services going mainstream, emergence of world-class content from Asia Pacific and rising consumer sophistication, we believe that this is the right time for us to deepen our collaboration with the region’s best content creators to deliver unparalleled storytelling to global audiences.â€

Disney today also announced the launch of The Walt Disney Company’s “APAC Creative Experience Program,†a first-of-its-kind bespoke initiative that will connect hundreds of top creators from APAC with Disney’s world-class filmmakers and creators.
