Today, additional details were revealed regarding the feature film keynote presentation at the 2019 D23 Expo. Along with the great news that we’ll hear from Pete Docter and Dan Scanlon (among others) regarding Pixar’s upcoming 2020 releases, Onward and Soul, we were also excited to recently learn more about the great merchandise which will be offered for sale during the three-day fan expo.
MUSIC AND MERCHANDISE
Of course, with any D23 Expo, the exclusive merchandise is as big of a draw as the panels and experiences are. From a music standpoint, we were thrilled to see that not only will there be some Pixar records to purchase (an Up 12″ vinyl of Married Life/Carl Goes Up), but that Randy Newman, as well as Anthony Gonzalez (the voice of Miguel in Coco), will be in attendance for meet-and-greet opportunities. Bring your favorite Coco or merch from other Pixar films Randy scored to hopefully get it autographed.
The Disney Store and ShopDisney.com is home to the widest assortment of Pixar and Disney merchandise for everyone — here is a snapshot of what will be available for purchase.
