Coming to Disney+ in 2024, “Iwájú” is a groundbreaking computer-animated series that promises to transport viewers into a vibrant, futuristic vision of Lagos, Nigeria​​. This original series, a novel collaboration between Walt Disney Animation Studios and the Pan-African company Kugali Media, is a historic first for Disney, marking its debut into the world of long-form animation​​.
