Between the three Marvel Cinematic Universe movies Disney released in theaters in 2018, it’s easy to slot each of them into a set of pretty simply defined critical roles. Black Panther is the big prestige picture, helmed by an up-and-coming directing star, tackling complicated emotional and political themes, and…

If you’re in the know, you’d be aware that there is already a new show called The Three Caballeros that’s airing overseas right now. And if you’re really in the know, you’d be aware of the illicit locations on the web of where to find episodes of said show. And if you’re really, really in the know, you would have…

Netflix, it was nice knowing you. A new streaming service is about to enter the ring to dropkick every other platform and cable TV provider, and it goes by the name of Disney+.

Star Wars: Rogue One is probably the most underrated entry in Disney’s run on the Star Wars series so far, but one of its obvious faults was that it didn’t really have enough room to develop its squad of doomed characters on top of telling the story of their suicide mission to expose the Death Star’s one design flaw.…

One of the issues with making a character like Flintheart Glomgold the consistent butt of so many jokes is that it makes it difficult to properly develop him, and to make audiences suddenly invest any interest in that development. It takes a whole lot of work to re-jigger a broad narrative to make the ostensible comic…

Let’s get this out of the way: The Nutcracker And The Four Realms is probably going to be nominated for at least one Oscar. And costume designer Jenny Beavan and production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas will richly deserve the nods their fanciful Rococo creations will more than likely earn them a couple of months from…

James Gunn might have begun moving on from his unceremonious, troll-guided firing from Marvel’s ludicrously popular Guardians Of The Galaxy franchise, but that doesn’t mean his fans have. The Wrap reports that a new billboard has just gone up near Disneyland in California, informing Marvel Studios’ corporate…

We’ve known for a while now that Disney—which is clearly not fucking around when it comes to dreaming up ways to get people to ditch Netflix in favor of its long-planned streaming service—would be tapping into its roster of Marvel Cinematic Universe talent in order to lure folks in. The entertainment mega-giant has…

I’m certainly not opposed to a Dewey/Huey driven episode. Dewey’s adventure-driven, adrenaline-rush-loving energy contrasts nicely with Huey’s more low-key, detail-oriented, book-smart weirdness. Both love that sense of adventure, of discovery–they just come at it in different mindsets. The title “The Depths of…

Well, it happened: Disney’s insatiable hunger for live-action remakes of its classic properties has now reached the point where it’s eating its own rattily dreadlocked tail, as Deadline reports that the studio is looking into a live-action reboot of a property that was already filmed by actual flesh and blood people,…

The Last Jedi’s Kylo Ren is a very serious boy. Played by Adam Driver, the character is ruthless, emotional, and probably the kind of guy who thinks animated Star Wars shows are for babies. Disney would like to maintain this mystique, it appears, as they reportedly nixed a Ren cameo in the new Wreck-It Ralph movie.

DuckTales is back, baby! Sooner than you’d expect, considering that the season one finale only aired in August. And while the show had its ups and downs, the final three or four episodes ended on a high note, providing enough juicy narrative and character material to work with for season two. And if “The Most…

For most of us, the release of the recent teaser for Disney’s live-action, Guy Ritchie-directed Aladdin was little more than a digital comma, a 90-second lacuna in which our brains neutrally registered the thought, “Oh, yep, that’s Aladdin,” and then moved on. But for at least one of the people partially responsible…

For the better part of a century, the name Disney has been synonymous with great animation. But, for those of us not versed in the technical side of the craft, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what makes Disney-produced films and television stand out from the rest. A new video essay from YouTuber kaptainkristian

Following hot on the heels of every other animated film the company has ever made, Disney has announced that it’s developing a live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, the underrated 2002 film about a dog-like alien named Stitch who escapes space-captivity and befriends a human girl named Lilo in Hawaii. The new version…

Since the announcement of the merger between Disney and 21st Century Fox, people have wondered how, exactly, all of these disparate comic book characters would finally be brought together. For years, Marvel superheroes like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four have been sequestered to separate franchises, timelines, and…

According to Variety, Disney’s still-mysterious streaming service is getting a TV series based on High Fidelity, the Nick Hornby novel that was previously adapted into a John Cusack-starring movie the same name. This adaptation will, once again, be about a sad-sack record store owner who is obsessed with pop culture…

This week, it was reported that Disney is developing TV shows spun off from Marvel Cinematic Universe characters like Loki and the Scarlet Witch for its upcoming, direct-to-consumer streaming service. This was seen by some as a death knell for ABC’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was renewed for a sixth, 13-episode…
