Disney Universe (2021 film)

DIsney Universe is a 2021 American 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. The 60th animated feature from the studio (after Raya and the Last Dragon), it is the third in the Disney Animated Canon to feature Mickey Mouse (Disney's longtime mascot) in a starring role (after Fantasia and Fantasia 2000), and stars the voices of Bret Iwan, Kaitlyn Robrock, Clancy Brown, Tony Anselmo, Tress MacNeille, Bill Farmer, and Mark Hamill. The film was dedicated to the memory of Russi Taylor (the voice of Minnie Mouse from 1986 to 2019) and Disney Renaissance animator Sue Nichols; archive recordings of Taylor as Minnie are used sporadically throughout the film.

Set in a fictional world where every character in the Disney Universe lives together in peace, the Disney heroes and villains (some of whom have aged to accommodate their returning voice actors) must unite to battle Lord Rensie, a powerful being from outer space who plans to destroy Mickey Mouse and take control over the whole Disney Universe.

Disney Universe had its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, California on December 5, 2021 (ten days after the release of Raya and Walt Disney's 119th birthday) and was released in the United States on December 25, 2021. The film grossed $490 million worldwide against a $300 million budget, and received positive reviews from audiences, who praised the inclusion of fan favorite and long-forgotten characters, with a more mixed reception from critics, who condemned the various superhero film cliches featured.
