A highly sophisticated Program called Ares is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind's first encounter with A.I. beings.
Practical Effects
Real glowing suits on real actors. CGI could never hit this shine.

Production
The real world/digital world contrast actually looks like two different movies merged.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The practical light suits required 30 minutes to put on and overheated so badly that actors could only film 15-minute takes. Method suffering.
This marks the first time a major Disney franchise explicitly grapples with A.I. rights during peak ChatGPT anxiety—accidentally topical or calculated?
