Launchpad

Best episode: S1E6 (7.5)

Launchpad', a collection of live-action short films, the work of a new generation of creators. The creators, all from underrepresented backgrounds, were selected from more than 1,100 applicants in the United States and had the opportunity to share their perspective and creative vision with audiences around the world. Each filmmaker was assigned a mentor from the company's various divisions, including Disney+, Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production. The goal of Disney's 'Launchpad' is to diversify the type of stories being told and to give opportunities to those who haven't had them until now. These first six short films for Disney+, inspired by their own lives, are based on the theme "Discover".
