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.[1]

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.[1][2] In 1981, they began productions under the name Walt Disney's World on Ice.[2][3]

In March 1982, Irvin & Kenneth Feld purchased back Feld Productions from Mattel including Ice Follies/Walt Disney's World on Ice.[2] In 1987, Walt Disney's World on Ice made its international debut[4] in Japan with Happy Birthday Donald.[5] In 1988, the company had 5 touring shows.[6] The name was changed to "Disney on Ice" in 1998.[7] By 2008, a new show is launched every year.[5]

Shows

The show is usually hosted by Mickey Mouse assisted at times by Minnie, Donald Duck,Goofy and Buzz Lightyear. More recently, the series features segments about the Disney Princesses.[8]

A new production is launched every year.[5]
