To create buzz around content from its other brand subsidiaries moving to Disney Plus, all the brands involved decided to have some fun on Twitter...

Almost! But in a shocking turn of events, we can't find Dory. pic.twitter.com/k7EI8kTPnc

Maybe we can help! Have you tried looking in shallow, tropical reefs of the Indo-Pacific? That’s where you’ll find paracanthurus hepatus. Just don’t get confused with acanthurus leucosternon or acanthurus coeruleus – they all are known as blue tangs! pic.twitter.com/Mq1BKGBxy0

Looks like you’re in need of some transport, you scruffy-looking nerf herders. Welcome aboard the Millennium Falcon, @Marvel! Any more crew expected? pic.twitter.com/VPF1aSICXg

Don’t worry, she may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts, kid. Prepare to make the jump to lightspeed! pic.twitter.com/iovNCVcy3o

It's barely 9:00 am and we already found Dory, assembled the @Avengers, and got @StarWars and @Marvel to tweet at each other. NBD just the most ambitious crossover event in history.

Since a Disney Plus subscription also throws in subscriptions to ESPN and Hulu, ESPN had something to say too.
