Collectible Summer 2011 Issue of Disney twenty-three Magazine includes these exclusive features:

In the swashbuckling cover story on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, director Rob Marshall and actors Geoffrey Rush, Ian McShane and Richard Griffiths take D23: The Official Disney Fan Club into the action-packed world of the highly anticipated film.

The piece gives readers the inside scoop on Captain Jack Sparrow's latest adventure with an eight-page spread of gorgeous images from the film and fascinating nuggets from the set. Readers will discover what select cast and crew have to say about Johnny Depp returning to his iconic role; learn what inspired the screenwriting team behind the earlier Pirates films as they reunited to lace together legends of the fearsome Blackbeard, the Fountain of Youth and sirens of the sea; and uncover why director Rob Marshall says of the 106 days of shooting: ''You?re undergoing your own adventure as you?re filming one.''

The magazine includes an interview with George Lucas, the force behind Star Wars and Indiana Jones, discussing his participation in the various park attractions inspired by his films. Also, Stan Lee talks about his excitement to be working with Disney Imagineers. In addition, readers will find a comprehensive look at Stan's history that might well serve as a Marvel 101 class.

John Lasseter introduces readers to Cars 2, in which Lightning McQueen, Mater and a whole fleet of new characters race across the country on an international adventure.

This issue also celebrates Walt Disney's motor mania with a look back at Walt's personal cars as well as a few favorites that have played special roles in Disney history.
