It’s still hard to believe that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company.
But think of all the movies, TV shows, theme parks, and memories the company has given us all. It’s almost overwhelming! Well, get ready to be like Riley in Inside Out and get all up in your emotions as you watch the company’s Super Bowl ad, which celebrates those 100 years in the most magical way possible.
Disney CEO Bob Iger shared the Super Bowl ad on social media today. The video features snippets of classic Disney movies, modern Disney movies, upcoming Disney movies (like the live-action The Little Mermaid), and more! It also has some quotes by Walt Disney, and finishes with the “You made this dream come true.” Okay, we’re not crying, you’re crying!!!
Today I want to share this video, which celebrates the @WaltDisneyCo's 100 year milestone. We are enormously grateful to our storytellers, our cast members and our fans. Thank you and enjoy. #Disney100 pic.twitter.com/LowCx9t2Iv

Iger also sent an email to D23 members, expressing his appreciation to Disney fans. He wrote: “You in particular, our most loyal and ardent fans, truly understand what it is to experience the magic of Disney.
“Over the coming year, our Disney100 celebrations will give us the chance to say thank you to generations of fans, and to honor the brilliant storytellers whose talents and imagination created the exceptional achievements that make Disney such an enduring part of the global culture. We’ll have numerous opportunities for fans and families of all ages to relive their most beloved Disney memories and to delight in new content and experiences.”
The 100th anniversary celebration has already kicked off in Disneyland, and we’ve already seen a TON of 100th anniversary merchandise, as well as eaten our share of 100th anniversary food. We’ve seen the new 100th anniversary show in Disney California Adventure, World of Color — One, as well as Disneyland’s 100th anniversary Wondrous Journeys fireworks show!
And Disney is just getting started! Disney World will be getting a new nighttime show in EPCOT dedicated to the anniversary. The Disney100 exhibition will be traveling around the country. D23 is hosting several 100th anniversary events.
So here’s to another 100 years, Disney! We’re continuing to monitor all the Super Bowl ads (yes, we’re waiting on that new Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania trailer), so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more!
