Hello, and welcome to your hub for anything and everything Disney. This week in Disney News, the new trailer for Pixar’s Soul dropped. It looks like a really interesting exploration of an existential crisis...packaged as a children’s movie. We’re interested to see how they attack such a difficult and depressing topic as death in a way that still leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy like Pixar movies...

This week in Disney News, the Game of Thrones co-creators DB Weiss and David Benioff backed out of doing the upcoming Star Wars trilogy that’s set to come out in the early 2020s. We’re not crying too hard after the much-hated final season of GoT garnered them much criticism from die-hard fans. We suggest some alternate choices for directors that we think would be a good fit for this beloved franch...

And lastly, revie...

This week, in Disney News, we spoke too soon about the smooth opening of the Skyliner a few weeks ago. On October 6th, six days after opening, it broke down leaving visitors stranded for a few hours. Hopefully, they can work out the kinks soon. Also, this week, the trailer for Jungle Cruise dropped and so did our jaws. The movie looks like it’ll be as much fun as Pirates of the Caribbean and have...

Hello and welcome! This week, Disney News starts out sweet with the introduction of the Peanut butter brownie at Hollywood Studios Backlot Express. Look up a picture because this incredible little dessert will have you booking your next trip (or buying an endless supply of Reese’s Pieces and Peanut Butter Cups to try to replicate the magic). Disney World cuts a few shows and moves over more charac...

We discuss a heart-warming story of a boy with a dream, who gives it up to help others. (And Disney being involved, is generously rewarded for his selfless actions.)  Also, the next installment of drama between Sony and Disney over the use of Spider-man in the MCU continues. The two companies are trying to work things out, which includes rumored larger percentages for Disney and the inclusion of V...

This week in Disney news, two of the most magical titans of industry unite: Disney and Target! Twenty-five Targets are getting mini Disney Stores inside. (Is anyone else hearing all of the Disney princesses sing in beautiful harmony inside your head?) Hopefully, this venture succeeds and they can roll this out to more stores sooner rather than later. Disney rereleased Aladdin on Blu-ray, so we tak...

This week is ALL news. We cover the announcements made at D23. There were tons of movie announcements. Black Panther will finally get a sequel in 2022. Pixar announced Soul, a movie that will feature Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey. Also, he might not know much, but Kit Harrington knows he’s going to play the Black Knight in the Eternals. Some new trailers came out for movies going straight to Disney+ and...

This week in Disney news, pour one out for Spider-man. Since Sony and Disney can’t reach an agreement moving forward to allow Disney to continue to use Spider-Man in their movies, Tom Holland has officially been kicked out of the MCU.

We speculate what that may be and hold out hope that another park is getting built in India!   This week, we talk DisneySea, Disney's second park in Tokyo. Sea's sea-based (duh) with many different lands. We take a coun...

Konnichiwa! We're back from Japan and so excited to share our trip to Tokyo Disneyland with you! We did so much in the short day and a half we were there. (The other day and a half were spent at Disney Sea. Stay tuned for that episode next week!)   Environment-wise, the Tokyo Disneyland park was like an even cuter, less commercialized version of the American parks. Duffy the Disney Bear is king an...

And we’re back. And boy are we rusty.  Seriously, it took 5 tries to get the intro right (stay after the episode for the outtakes)   Fresh off our journey to Japan we catch up on all the Disney News we missed in the last three weeks.    But before we get to news, Angela gives us her take on the live action Lion King movie.    First up, we discuss Disney’s absolute dominance at the global box offic...

When we say we’re doing a whole episode on a voice actor, you might be like, “Angela and Joe...I’ve supported you through some strange episode ideas, but one based on some dude I don’t even know...I don’t know if I can follow you here.” If you don’t already know, I’ll assure you he isn’t just a voice actor. Alan Tudyk is THE voice actor. A former student at the prestigious Julliard, Tudyk has play...

This week in Disney News, are Disney pins going digital? Disney filed for a patent for trading tiles. From the sound of it, you could collect them like pins, but they’d be entirely on your phone. We discuss the implications of this and whether or not we’d be interested. As our main topic, we canvas several Disney-related topics and answer the question: “Is it worth it?” Is it worth purchasing the...

What rides are the cream of the crop and which rides s...

This week, on our series Disney Decades, we jump right into the most interesting and tumultuous decade yet: the 1940s. The Disney Company is struggling to stay on top with the high cost of animation and the declining foreign market due to World War II. After the smashing success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, films like Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Bambi don’t quite generate the money that it cos...

This week, in Disney News, prices for the American Disney parks are going up again, specifically for the Annual Passholders.

This time, you can draw your favorite characters with a Disney animator in Animal Kingdom at Rafiki’s Planet Watch!! This week...
