Some more behind-the-scenes looks including our first look at Kathryn Hahn as Mother Gothel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAODnHMS1ZM https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HRf4WHApf5Q I have to say I'd forgotten that looking forward to these things can actually be so fun. The acid pool bubbling around th...

While the forum was down a few weeks ago, I published an essay specifically on "Frozen" for my film blog. The specific thought that motivated this exact piece was the observation that though the film was very much hailed as a sort of send-up to old fairy-tale movies, and even designed as s...

Read your full review. Quality work. What I would give to live in the area so I could see the show myself.

That's really great intel about Benson's performance as well. It's wonderful that after forty years of doing this, she's still discovering she can do new things.

I think that all checks out. The failure of this movie may or may not foretell poor returns for something like the Tangled remake.

This movie was just greenlit prematurely with no consideration for what it would need to thrive artistically or commercially.

I would have preferred some more creative license in the costume department, but as far as recreations go, it's a lot more organic than the "Snow White" clown outfits. The colors look much more natural while still possessing that fairy-tale vibrance. Croft herself looks really at home in t...

My favorite thing about the mural is having the King and Queen hovering over baby Rapunzel. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7d/7d/0d/7d7d0dd66eca99eb6c828ab050619ba8.gif I myself have always loved Lily James' Cinderella, but I'd acknowledge that she feels less like a reinterpretation of Ilene Woods' ...

I still haven't gotten around to the second one yet.

But it sounds like this one might have the opportunity to feature more of their animal buddies, which would be a great selling point.

Untitled design (2).jpg The designs are all looking darn near identical, which feels like a lost opportunity. Like, I don't want to watch this thinking that I am watching character actors at Disneyland. But it looks like Diego Luna's character isn't replacing The Stabbingtons after all. I guess he ...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/movies/incredibles-3-officially-confirms-pixar-is-doubling-down-on-a-divisive-trend/ar-AA28vCDU There's one thing you can't expect from The Incredibles 3 when it hits screens in 2028, and that's a significant leap forward in the character's lives. In a recent...

I'm as tired as anyone of the streaming talk, but I don't think we're anywhere near past factoring the streaming wars into discussion around the box office, in or out of Disney. It's still a common talking point among industry officials and commentators, and will remain so until box office numbers r...

Both movies did remarkably well for the model they were forced into. There aren't really a lot of breakout non-franchise hits these days. Like, I know everyone's really proud of themselves for going to see "Project Hail Mary," but people are forgetting how it used to feel when even a forge...

She looks positively regal! My first thought was of like Queen Titania from "Midsummer Night's Dream." She's gonna knock it out of the park!

Pixar layoffs: Animation studio hit hard as Disney axes several hundred employees https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/pixar-layoffs-animation-studio-hit-hard-as-disney-axes-several-hundred-employees/ar-AA28oftx?ocid=BingNewsSerp Other outlets are linking this development with Hoppers not making a...

Part of what makes me single out "Encanto" over other alternatives with comparably good soundtracks is that the design of the story wouldn't have as many plotpoints that would just be difficult to difficult to translate to stage. Because Encanto is much more confined as a narrative, it has...

I've heard rumors that this one is dropping in 2028, though official confirmation is still forthcoming.

I can't recall, does Disney have a LA remake planned for next year? A two-year break between remakes would be unusual for their model.

Raya and the Last Dragon B Encanto A Strange World C Wish C Moana 2 D Zootopia 2 B Onward A Soul C Luca B Turning Red A Lightyear D Elemental A Inside Out 2 C Elio A Hoppers B Toy Story 5 [haven't seen] Least favorite is probably "Lightyear." Most favorite is ... nah. I'm gonna make you g...

I think "Tangled" could have some legs up on this remake (not knowing basically anything about the film's creative direction at this time), but the failure of this movie also represents an added barrier it'll have to clear. The difference between 10 years and 17 years is not insubstantial,...
