“This day of appreciation brings to life our mission to entertain, inform and inspire fans and families around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling, and will become an annual tentpole event to be amplified across our global businesses."

The November date means that a number of the releases will mark the run-up to the holidays, including a festive Disney Plus Original movie Home Sweet Home Alone, a "reimagining of the popular holiday franchise".

There will also be various animated shorts featuring characters from Frozen and Pixar's Luca, in addition to the second instalment of The World According to Jeff Goldblum on National Geographic.

Disney has also promised an "exciting look towards the future" of the MCU, with potential special appearances from cast members teased elsewhere in the official announcement.
