Bob Iger Hints at More Figment Content in the Works—What Could Be Coming?

Hey Disney Vacationers! Figment fans, this one’s for you. If you’ve ever wondered whether Disney would finally give EPCOT’s beloved purple dragon more screen time outside the parks, Bob Iger just gave us a reason to pay attention. That’s right, we could see more Figment content in the future!

During The Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting of Shareholders 2025, Iger acknowledged what many Disney fans (and investors) have been saying for years—Figment is a big deal. And now, it sounds like Disney may be looking at expanding Figment’s presence beyond EPCOT.

Bob Iger on Figment: “Good Old Figment” Might Get More Love

At the shareholder meeting, Iger addressed the frequent questions about Figment. And by frequent, we mean at least 15 times over the years.

“This is my 24th shareholder call, my 18th as CEO. And I think the question about Figment has been asked about 15 times. I call him good old Figment.”

That’s a lot of Figment talk. But it makes sense—he’s one of Disney’s most iconic park-exclusive characters, and fans have been asking for more. Iger made it clear that Disney knows how much people love Figment.

“We know that he’s popular with shareholders because of the fact that they ask questions about him all the time. But we also know that he’s popular at EPCOT, where you can meet him and experience Journey Into Imagination.”

That last part is key. Figment is already a hit at EPCOT, but what about outside the parks? That’s where things get interesting.

More Figment Content Could Be Coming

Iger went on to say something that immediately caught Disney fans’ attention.

“I’ll tell you why—I’ve been asked this so many times that I am going to ask our creative teams to consider making some form of series or short-form videos of Figment. Because obviously, he’s more popular than just a walk-around character in our parks and resorts.”

That’s huge. While he didn’t confirm anything specific, he made it clear that Disney is looking into new Figment content.

What Could This Mean?

Here’s where things get fun. If Disney is exploring a series or short-form content featuring Figment, we could see:

• A Disney+ animated series—Think of something in the style of Forky Asks a Question, Olaf Presents, or even a full-fledged show.

• Shorts on Disney+ or YouTube—Quick-hit videos featuring Figment’s imaginative adventures.

• More Figment cameos—Figment has already popped up in the Inside Out franchise. Could he play a bigger role in future Pixar projects?

• A return to comics—Disney previously partnered with Marvel for a Figment comic book series, and this could be an opportunity to bring back Dreamfinder and expand his story.

Figment’s History Outside of EPCOT

While Figment is mostly known for Journey Into Imagination, he’s had a few appearances outside the parks:

• He appeared as a background character in Inside Out, sparking speculation that he could have a future in Pixar’s world.

• Marvel published a Figment comic series in 2014, giving him a full-fledged backstory with Dreamfinder.

• He’s popped up in various Disney educational materials and promotional videos over the years.

With Inside Out 2 hitting theaters in 2024, there’s already buzz about a potential Inside Out 3. If that happens, could Figment make a bigger appearance?

What About the Imagination Pavilion?

This Figment news also comes at a time when fans have been speculating about the future of Journey Into Imagination.

Some rumors suggest that EPCOT’s Imagination Pavilion could eventually be re-themed to Inside Out. The timeline for this wouldn’t be until at least 2030, but if Disney is investing in Figment content, could that mean the attraction is safe?

For now, Disney hasn’t announced any updates to the ride, but Iger’s comments show that Figment’s future is far from over.

Final Thoughts: Figment’s Future Is Looking Bright

Bob Iger’s comments might not be an official announcement, but they confirm something important—Disney knows how much Figment matters. Whether it’s an animated series, YouTube shorts, or more park experiences, it sounds like Disney is finally listening to the fans.

So, what do you think? Would you watch a Figment series on Disney+? Do you want to see him in Inside Out 3? Or should Disney go all-in and bring back Dreamfinder for a full-blown comeback?

One thing’s for sure—Figment’s story isn’t over yet. And for Disney fans, that’s pretty exciting.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
