Pictures at the beginning of the millennium. The financial return and public engagement remain high, justifying large investments in cutting-edge technology events.

The use of drones represents this generational transition, using modern tools to celebrate a classic story. Analistas from the entertainment industry note that events of this type strengthen brand value for future streaming releases and new licensed products.
