Disney Entertainment Television’s presence at San Diego Comic-Con this year seemed to lack originality and creativity. While they showcased a variety of shows and series, such as Abbott Elementary and Animayhem, the activations themselves were predictable and did not offer anything truly unique to con-goers.

There was a missed opportunity to surprise and delight attendees with fresh and innovative experiences.
Despite the impressive lineup of shows and series represented at the event, the execution of the activations seemed lackluster. The activities and games offered did not fully immerse attendees in the worlds of the various shows, and there was a sense of disconnect between the content being promoted and the experiences being provided.
There were missed opportunities for engagement with the audience at San Diego Comic-Con. While there were photo opportunities and interactive elements, there was a lack of meaningful interaction and storytelling that could have truly captivated fans and generated buzz around the showcased content.
