Disney on Ice

Disney on Ice, originally Walt Disney's World on Ice, is a series of touring ice shows produced by Feld Entertainment's Ice Follies And Holiday on Ice, Inc. under agreement with The Walt Disney Company. Aimed primarily at children, the shows feature figure skaters portraying the roles of Disney characters in performances derived from various Disney films. Feld Entertainment licensed the rights to Disney material for ice shows and includes shared merchandising revenue between Disney and Ice Follies.

History
Soon after Mattel's Irvin & Kenneth Feld Productions purchased Ice Follies and Holiday on Ice in 1979, the company approached Disney about doing a Disney-related show on ice. Feld Productions licensed the rights to Disney material for ice shows. In 1981, they began productions under the name Walt Disney's World on Ice.

In March 1982, Irvin & Kenneth Feld purchased back Feld Productions from Mattel including Ice Follies/Walt Disney's World on Ice. In 1987, Walt Disney's World on Ice made its international debut in Japan with Happy Birthday Donald. In 1988, the company had five touring shows. The name was changed to "Disney on Ice" in 1998. By 2008, a new show was launched every year.

Shows
The show is usually hosted by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse assisted at times by Goofy and Donald Duck. More recently, the series stars Asha from Wish and more (in some shows) that launches almost every year. For example, Frozen & Encanto, a 2 hour, ice-skating spectacular inspired by 2 Academy award-winning Walt Disney Animation Studios films, narrated by Olaf and Mirabel Madrigal, stars Olaf and Mirabel Madrigal, along with Anna, Elsa and Kristoff, as well as Alma Madrigal, Bruno Madrigal, Isabela Madrigal, Luisa Madrigal, Dolores Madrigal, Pepa Madrigal and Felix Madrigal and features some of the original music from the beloved hit franchises written by a trio of Oscar award-winning songwriters: Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Robert Lopez and Lin-Manuel Miranda and performed by the original, all-star voice cast like "Let It Go" by Idina Menzel, the voice of Elsa and "We Don't Talk About Bruno" by Carolina Gaitán, the voice of Pepa Madrigal, Mauro Castillo, the voice of Felix Madrigal, Adassa, the voice of Dolores Madrigal and Diane Guerrero, the voice of Isabela Madrigal.

In 2020, Disney on Ice shows were cancelled worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Performances eventually resumed on November 6, 2020, beginning with "Dream Big".
