ORLANDO, Fla. — “The Great Figment Movie”? “The Fast and the Figment”? “One Figment After Another”? “Star Wars: Episode XIII – The Figment Menace”? Does Disney have a Figment movie in the works?

Well, Josh D’Amaro, the freshly minted CEO of Walt Disney Co., didn’t say no when asked about future plans for Figment – the longtime Epcot dragon mascot – after Wednesday’s annual shareholder meeting. But it was a long, long way from yes. You’d have to use your imagination.

“I don’t have anything new to announce at this time, but I can assure you that we’re always exploring new ways for guests to engage with Figment and other of our characters that fans love so much,” D’Amaro said.

Even though it was literally the first day on the job for D’Amaro, he wasn’t surprised by a Figment question.

“I’ve obviously listened to these shareholder meetings for a long time, and I know that there is always a Figment question that comes up,” he said. “And you know, I got to say that I love that, and I love the fact that there is so much adoration for Figment. He has stood the test as a fan favorite, and he clearly continues to spark creativity and imagination across generations.”

Figment is an animated purple dragon character developed with the Journey Into Imagination ride, which debuted at Epcot in 1983, five months after the theme park first opened. He has made a few appearances elsewhere, including cameos in “Inside Out” and “Toy Story 4” movies, and he’s been made into plushes, pins, comic books, statues, topiaries, smoothies and popcorn containers. A walk-around costumed character of Figment now does meet-and-greets with Epcot visitors.

But he’s not been a big-screen star. A movie project was announced in 2023 with Seth Rogen attached, but that was in the Bob Chapek CEO era, one that was replaced by Bob Iger 2.0, which has now ended with the ascension of D’Amaro.

Iger, when asked about Figment in 2024, noted he gets asked about Figment a lot and suggested maybe there was a limited-series future for Figmentphiles.

Not yet.

“I am sure that some of our fans may have seen that Figment recently made a special appearance in the ‘How Not to Draw’ short,” D’Amaro said. The two-minute production, available on YouTube, is narrated by Disney World frequenter Neil Patrick Harris and shows the character using artistic skills and, well, imagination. There’s also a glimpse of Orange Bird, a fellow WDW mascot found around Magic Kingdom.

D’Amaro handled a few other questions from shareholders after the meeting. Topics included the differences in Lightning Lane policies between Disneyland and Walt Disney World, disability pass procedures for attractions, stock splits and how programming decisions are made at Disney+ streaming service.

D’Amaro, 55, joined Walt Disney Co. in 1998. His previous positions have included chairman of Disney Experiences worldwide, president of Walt Disney World, president of Disneyland, vice president for Disney’s Animal Kingdom and more. His selection as CEO was announced last month.

Iger, 75, was said to remain with the company as senior adviser and board member through the end of 2026.
