Talking Disney Podcast: 2026 Disney Movie Fantasy Draft

Welcome to the Talking Disney Podcast: 2026 Disney Movie Fantasy Draft. The Talking Disney Podcast hosts are taking a page from the world of fantasy sports and applying it to Disney movies. Instead of players and stats, we are drafting Disney movies and tracking their success throughout 2026. 

In our 2026 Disney Movie Fantasy Draft conducted during Episode 197 - The Bear and the Bow, each host selected three upcoming Disney releases from the year's slate. Once a film is drafted, it's off the board, creating a competitive framework that rewards strategic thinking, release timing, franchise strength, and audience appeal. The goal is simple: determine which host assembles the most successful lineup by the end of the year. Below are the the results of our draft:

Round One
1. James - Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026)
2. Jason - Toy Story 5 (June 19, 2026)
3. Cody - Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31, 2026)

Round Two 
1. Cody - Moana (July 10, 2026)
2. Jason - Mandalorian and Grogu (May 22, 2026)
3. James - Hoppers (March 6, 2026)

Round Three
1. James - The Devil Wears Prada 2 (May 1, 2026)
2. Jason - Hexed (November 25, 2026)
3. Cody - The Dog Stars (August 28, 2026)

Throughout 2026, we'll revisit these picks on the podcast and on the blog, evaluating how each film performs. By the end of the year, we'll crown a Disney Movie Fantasy Draft winner. Whether you are interested in some industry insights, friendly competition, or just another way to talk about Disney movies, this fantasy draft adds a new layer of perspective to the year ahead, and we hope you enjoy it!
