(from Disney+'s press release, November 2023) Disney Branded Television announced today that it has acquired first-generation Taiwanese American filmmaker Sean Wang's "Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó." The film, slated to stream in 2024 on Disney+, is a celebration of Sean Wang's grandmothers (his Nǎi Nai and Wài Pó). This multigenerational story follows this grandma super team that dances, stretches and farts their sorrows away.
