Video: What the Talent Did Backstage at #D23Expo

As the 2017 edition of the D23 Expo draws to a close, closing the book on another installment of “The Ultimate Disney Fan Event,” the news is really just getting started. I’m still here in Anaheim, getting ready to head back to Chicago on the red eye – and much of what I’ve seen has yet to be revealed. I did get a rare look backstage in the growing “Hall D23,” and alongside all the technical magic, much of the talent involved with the next few years of entertainment from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Lucasfilm was on-hand to drop the curtain on a few surprises. So what did all of these actors and filmmakers do while hanging out in the pipe-and-drape “green rooms?” They had fun, and made some videos – many of which are now on Instagram. From Jon Favreau representing THE LION KING, to the voices of the Disney Princesses, the cast of STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI, MARY POPPINS and a host of AVENGERS and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, take a look at some of what happened backstage…
