Disney’s storytelling has always been rooted in a commitment to communicate with children in a responsible and meaningful manner. As part of this commitment, the “Let’s Get Healthy” initiative was launched to provide a holistic wellness experience that covers nutrition, hygiene, and exercise. This initiative is designed to make the concept of healthy living more accessible and understandable for both parents and children. It leverages Disney’s unique storytelling abilities and its extensive reach across television and digital platforms to promote family-friendly entertainment.
