Last night, Ricky Strauss, president, Content & Marketing for Disney+, joined Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts and announced One Day at Disney – an incredible collaboration between Disney Publishing Worldwide and Disney’s highly anticipated new streaming service. A colorful 224-page coffee table book and a unique documentary series, One Day at Disney will shine a light on some of the talented men and women bringing Disney’s most beloved stories to life. You can expect both the book and series to drop on December 3rd of this year.
GMA host, former ESPN sportscaster, and soon-to-be-inducted Disney Legend Robin Roberts said, “We all argue who has the best job in the company; we all do. We all feel that we have the best job! And to be able to be a part of this project, and to really get a sense of, globally, what we’re able to do or what our hope is… All of us – it doesn’t matter where we are in the company – we just want to touch people’s hearts. We just want to share and bring out the creativity that they have within themselves. It was a lot of fun.”
Strauss told that crowd that on February 21 of this year, nearly 80 different photo shoots took place all around the globe, as Disney dispatched photographers to capture images of employees and cast members who drive creativity and innovation at The Walt Disney Company. The photos from this shoot will be featured in the hardbound, collectible book, written by Bruce Steele. The book is now available for pre-order.
The trailer for One Day at Disney was released last night.
