And then, of course, there was the whole ongoing skirmish with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Disney100 was one for the books with incredible peaks and challenging valleys for the Walt Disney Company as Bob Iger returned to lead the studio into the waters of 2023. This year, Star…

The huge kingdom of animated movies and series built by Walt Disney, Disneyland, has his birth anniversary today, December 5. Disney is famous for giving voice to animated characters and bringing life into them. Now all of you have been thinking that Mickey Mouse is the first ever animated character from Disney because of the publicity Micky gets and also those silhouette ears Disney’s logo contains, haven’t you? But the answer is NO. Though Micky is the character we all love, and we still love to watch the…

You knew it was coming – Moana is getting a live-action movie, and this is what we know about it so far. Moana is one of Disney's beloved 2010s features. While plenty of films were released in that ten-year time-frame, from the almost too-successful Frozen to Zooptopia to even Big Hero 6, I have always been a vast Moana fan. I have rewatched Moana countless times, so much so that I'm sure everyone around me knows the Lin-Manuel Miranda lyrics.It was only a matter of time before Moana became the next Disney film to…

The Marvels is likely going to end up one of Marvel Studios’ worst-performing films in a considerable period of time—and at a time when people are largely questioning the direction of a franchise that has dominated cinema for 15 years, that’s not an ideal bit of publicity. Also not ideal? The weirdly public way Disney has decided to paint director Nia DaCosta in the wake of its release.“Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police” | AI UnlockedIt started earlier this month, just as The Marvels was preparing to release, when a…

Disney CEO Bob Iger—who over the summer described the demands of striking WGA and SAG-AFTRA workers as “not realistic,” then pulled back on that harsh statement by pushing to end the strikes quickly (as backed up by Warner Bros. Discovery’s David Zaslav)—has addressed some of his company’s most pressing matters as 2024 approaches.“Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police” | AI UnlockedOne of the things that immediately began to circulate online was Iger’s controversial take on the state of Disney films during today’s…

Fans of horror movies know that Evil Dead Rise marked the return of the series and a hint of where the franchise might go moving forward. But what if one of the next installments in one of the greatest horror movie franchises was handled by the House of Mouse? OK, it's probably not going to happen, but that didn’t stop one fan from posting an adorable Pixar-inspired poster of The Evil Dead, and the piece of adorable fan art got the almighty Bruce Campbell's thumbs up of approval. My only question: What would they do with…

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Wish is an all-new musical-comedy welcoming audiences to the magical kingdom of Rosas, where Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force — a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe — the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico — to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.

This year, the Walt Disney Company has an important reason to celebrate, namely the 100th anniversary of its founding. The famous media conglomerate was established in 1923 by the Disney brothers, Walt and Roy. At that time, it was just an animation studio. However, over the years, the company has evolved into a gigantic enterprise, one of the most significant in the contemporary world of cinema. Yet, animated films are the emblem of Disney, the cornerstone of its identity. From Mickey Mouse to princess tales to…

The Marvels looked to be Disney‘s most embarrassing release of the month following its tragically dismal box office opening, resulting in it being the lowest-grossing MCU movie ever. Fortunately for it, but unfortunately for Disney as a company, there is another. Wish, the Mouse House’s big new animated movie releasing to celebrate its 100th anniversary, is opening in theaters this weekend. While it’s actually looking to do pretty well for itself financially (certainly in comparison to Strange World, which tanked hard…

2023 hasn’t necessarily been the 100th anniversary year Disney was hoping for, what with many of the studio’s releases sinking at the box office. But there’s much hope that the palette will be cleansed with the release of Wish, Disney’s latest original animated feature which is intended as a marriage of classic Mouse House storytelling and modern sensibilities. You might’ve heard that Wish — which stars West Side Story‘s Ariana DeBose and Chris Pine — is coming out over Thanksgiving weekend, but maybe you require more…
