Welcome to a futuristic Lagos 🏙️ All episodes of #Iwájú are available February 28 on @disneyplus.
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Walt Disney Animation Studios teams up with Pan-African entertainment company, Kugali, for an original animated series set in a futuristic Lagos, Nigeria. The exciting coming-of-age story follows Tola, a young girl from the wealthy island, and her best friend, Kole, a self-taught tech expert, as they discover the secrets and dangers hidden in their different worlds. Kugali filmmakers-including director Olufikayo Ziki Adeola, production designer Hamid Ibrahim and cultural consultant Toluwalakin Olowofoyeku-take viewers on a unique journey into the world of “Iwájú,” bursting with unique visual elements and technological advancements inspired by the spirit of Lagos. The series is produced by Disney Animation’s Christina Chen with a screenplay by Adeola and Halima Hudson. Featuring the voices of Simisola Gbadamosi, Dayo Okeniyi, Femi Branch, Siji Soetan and Weruche Opia, “Iwájú” streams exclusively on Disney+ Feb. 28, 2024, in a six-episode event.See more from official Disney Animation:

Welcome to the official Walt Disney Animation Studios KZhead channel! There’s much from the archive that we want to share, while also giving you glimpses into our current studio--a dynamic place full of fresh voices and talent.
Was that an intentional Lion King reference with, "I laugh in the face of danger?"
Probably?…
Of course it was intentional. Disney loves referencing its past movies for funsies.
Yep it probably was
Yea also, I love your channel Brian Hall😊
which makes sense, since the lion king is a popular movie for nigerians. i remember watching it with my grandmother when i was small :)
1:06 - "I laugh in the face of danger!" I remember that quote from a certain, young African lion cub.
And a certain lioness from the same movie
@@morganghostbusters-egonfan True!
@@FTVS-CM45 Yeah
Plantain chips is the most goated Naija snack fr
As a Nigerian myself, I CANNOT stress how excited I am for it. Too bad there is not much marketing for it.
Quite interesting concept: The only problem is that in recent years, Disney did rarely bring out something good. Let's hope for the best
Oh, please. They've made lots of great things in recent years. You just forget the good and remember the bad. Encanto, Onward, Luca, Elemental (and Carl's Date), Dug Days, Soul, The Bad Batch, Ahsoka, The Mandalorian, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings, Spider-Man Far From Home, Spider-Man No Way Home, Moonknight, Werewolf By Night, The GOTG Holiday Special, BP2, Cruella, Avatar 2, GOTG Vol. 3, Andor, Loki, What If...?, Hawkeye, WandaVision, Avengers Endgame, etc.
I'm sure it will be great! Keeping my fingers crossed that it WILL.
@movielover, The opinion is bias in this one 😂
@seant8292 It's not biased it's truth. All of the projects I listed and more were all praised projects that did great with the general audience.
@@movielover7565In the sense of something being strictly Disney they haven’t done anything great. Last big thing they did was Frozen and that was 10 years ago! Wish was dreadful. Let’s hope this isn’t written by AI too 😅
Damm. It so funny how as a Nigerian I can relate to the last part about selling on the road instead in the Air
I absolutely love the scene already.
Gigantic should be a stop motion released in 3-D directed by Henry Selick, his return to Disney.
C'mon, Disney i belive in you😊
Can't wait to clean the house while "watching" it
Lmao
Can't wait to watch!
Absolutely stunning animation, Disney!
@@user-fp4gn1ws5gthis is a tv show made by Disney animation
@@user-fp4gn1ws5gand Disney animation, they just partnered up with different storytellers which I think is cool
But it's story, writing, and characters won't be absolutely stunning. It's gonna be yet another woke flop just like what they've been producing in recent years.
@@1992disney If you MUST go into a temper tantrum whenever Disney does ANYTHING, you could at least know the difference between "Its" and "It's". Its is the possessive, and It's is the contraction.
@@1992disney stop using the word woke you don't even know what it means
Omgg this looks amazing!
Looks promising. I love seeing more afro-futuristic sci-fi shows in the media.

Looks great! can't wait to watch it
Big ups to the creators and everyone involved with this. As a Ghanaian I really enjoyed it, It was beautiful ❤
Quiero ver mas!!!!! ❤
We want a Disney Princess from wifi Ralph spin off short and series
Is it just me or does the animation look off? How about doing some hand drawn animation for a change?
Even in futuristic Lagos, the emissions are still high 😆
Why didn't he just hover at the start of his trip?
@@user-fp4gn1ws5g disney did do this
Probably to save battery on it or something.
@@user-fp4gn1ws5gWhich animation company made it then?
What an amazing show, really loved it❤
Let's go!!!!
Awesome
Cool car 0:30
This is Beautiful
It's so cool.
I hope black and white Mickey comes back 😢😢
Futuristic Africa in 2078 CE

This looks AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see this!🤩
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
why other cars doesnt fly like them ?
Cause they're lower class, apparently
Coming back 2d animated

@@jimbo9208 Eric Goldberg said he was gonna return it.
@@CreditsBean16 and what does that have to do with this
OMG FINALLY ITS NOT GHANAIAN BUT I'M STILL SO HAPPY AAAAAHHHHH
Hey, this sure look amazing and inventive! Good job once again, Disney! 😁👍
Will we get to see Afrobeats dancing?

An almost futuristic version of this side of Africa
🦎💙💜
Lion King reference, nice 😂
Why does it look AI generated in a lot of parts?
Nah, it's just the hate inside you.
@@apriannemanlangit I do indeed have a lot of hatred for AI generated images in my Disney movies
In the future, traffic jams will last for hours.
Present 4 Hours
*hola soydora
Hmm... Odd spot to cut things, but you have my interest.
Iwájú
Why did they go with these designs compared to the announcement photo back in 2020? And in 3D? They aged down the girl, too. Very disappointing. They made it look like a really cool, 2D animated thing originally.
Please Hindi dubbed ❤
Animation looks really 2010s 😅
I wonder why dislikes are hidden?
are you new to youtube
Because Google.
Future Lagos, with rich people skipping traffic above the peasants without so much as a "how do you do" to ATC and apparently plenty of gas guzzling cars with poor emissions controls. Yaaaaay, such future, much wow.
Disney Mike breve tv show
This better be better than wish, (stilll hate how imo it looks like dreamworks) AGAIN!!!
Why would cars drive, when they can fly?
Why do you walk, when you can run?
Tamil dubbed plz
Super że tematem jest afrykański kraj przyszłości, to fajna odmiana ale projekty postaci wygladają, słabo, mało interesująco .....i pokazanie ze bogata roszina ma lepsze auto, co lata nad innymi heh no nie wiem czy to fajny przekaz....

Millenials into the futur and we still have to drive ourself and cars are still a thing? The humanity has to come to an end...
Go all the way to black.
what does that mean
You must not have many friends.
@@googamp32I am black back I don't care about this ! I don't care about WOKE CRAP!
@@katlegoassegaai9235 how is this woke
@@katlegoassegaai9235 Explain how this is woke.
e
This doesn’t look real. The animation is weird and the models look AI generated
Disney is so desperate
Where is the diversity? Snow White in the Middle Ages is designed to be diverse, but in Lagos in the future there is not a single non-African person to be seen.
I can’t wait to watch this flop
Wakanda?
😂 that's so stupid
📉
SCREW OFF
@@IAmBlueBarry5 Shut up and deal with the truth, snowflake!
@@1992disney you are the snowflake for calling everything woke
@@jimbo9208 You're a snowflake for being so offended by VALID criticism.
@@1992disneyand what are you criticizing here
are people tripping? the stories and designs have become stale, it's really sad..
what stale about this
I don't see anything stale about this. This looks FRESH!
Your cartoon is a misrepresentation of Nigeria.Your cartoon shows beggars at the Lagos Airport which is not true. It's an unfair representation of Nigeria. Would you do a cartoon showing beggars at the Heathrow airport which would have been a misrepresentation.
Go Woke Go Broke....
how is this woke
@@jimbo9208 how is this a bio weapon...... "vaccine"
@@Mark-nc2nx thanks for not answering my question and telling you don't know what it means
@@jimbo9208 Disney need to go the way of the dodo... It's has corrupted enough children...... All the hidden messages.. And now open LGBTQ.... Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar all dead.... More children disappear M2 in Disney parks then any place on the earth.... It's poison.... All of it ....
@@Mark-nc2nx there is nothing wrong with being gay
The animation is so bad.
I see DEI quotas didn't apply to this garbage movie.
