The video (seen here at around 1 hour 43 minutes) teases the sight of a Mandalorian from another planet and a cartoon of Mickey Mouse bouncing around the living room.
“We are so proud to once again partner with the world’s greatest storytelling company with the world’s most innovative technology company to bring you real-life magic,” Iger said.
Apple and Disney have a good, long-standing relationship. Iger and former Apple CEO Steve Jobs were close friends, and Iger said he believed that if Jobs were still alive, the two companies would have merged.
