I thought that it was a good idea to create a thread with all the Disney On Ice shows that have been made till today.
Disney On Ice is a series of shows based on Disney and Disney Pixar movies. It was called Walt Disney World On Ice but the name was changed in 1997 to Disney On Ice.
The story started back in 1979 when Mattel's Irvin and Kenneth Feld productions purchased Ice Follies and Hollidays. After that they approached to Disney to produce shows. They licensed Disney's rights and started the productions in 1981. In 1982 Irvin and Kenneth Feld purchased back Feld productions from Mattel including Ice Follies and Walt Disney World On Ice.
The first show was World On Ice in 1981

The 90s was a good time for Walt Disney World On Ice. Disney's TV shows were popular and they were living a golden age with the new classics that they created like Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast.
