Disney’s D23 convention is creeping closer and closer and the studio has put forth a new poster to promote the event. This colorful poster places Mickey Mouse himself front and center, though 58 references are riddled throughout. Marvel,Star Wars, and several of Disney’s animated classics feature in the colorful and creative design.
Fans will understandably be drawn to their favorite IP on this poster, which rightfully has something for everyone. On the Marvel side of things, Spider-Man can be seen in one of the lower windows of Cinderella’s castle, while the Black Panther symbol and a Nova Corps ship are also present. A Marvel plug is necessary after the opening of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure and Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris. An Avengers Campus location is also being developed for Hong Kong Disneyland.

This of course couldn’t be a Disney poster without featuring iconic animated characters. Some that hit the eye first would have to be Stitch upon one of the castle’s pillars, Winnie the Pooh, Dumbo, Elsa, Mulan, and Princess Tiana. Vanellope von Schweetz can also be seen across from Tiana, as can the hair of Rapunzel fromTangledand the fin of Ariel fromThe Little Mermaid.

Some other newly acquired Disney properties also appear on this collectible poster. Homer Simpson’s iconic donut appears in the upper right corner.
