Pixar’s Elemental Comes To Home Video Formats Soon

Pixar’s Elemental Comes To Home Video Formats Soon

, , , , 8

Believe it or not, Pixar’s Elemental can now be considered somewhat of a success for the company. It’s proven to have a long tail, remaining in the top ten box office to this very day despite opening soft. The bad marketing made the movie look very generic, but positive word of mouth has overtaken the badly edited ads and given the film a second chance. It’s now earned over $400 million, twice as much as Encanto. This hasn’t changed plans to get Elemental out for digital ownership later this month, or its disc release in September. Those are still on track, and here’s what you get: Bonus Features* Short Film Carl’s Date – Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® Award winner Bob Peterson and produced by Kim Collins, this all-new short, “Carl’s Date,” finds Carl reluctantly agreeing to go on a date with a lady friend —but admittedly with no idea how dating works these days. Ever the helpful friend, Dug steps in to calm Carl’s pre-date jitters

Experience The Timey-Wimey Insanity Of The Loki Season 2 Trailer

, , , , 8

Secret Invasion turned out to be exactly what the Marvel Cinematic Universe DIDN’T need right now — a boring slog of a miniseries that did nothing to draw an increasingly apathetic public back from “superhero fatigue.” Can Loki, God of Mischief and former nemesis of the Avengers, change that fate? You all loved him once, remember? In the first season of Loki — starring Tom Hiddleston, reprising his movie role — we were introduced to the TVA, the strict bureaucracy that protects spacetime from anomalies and irregularities — like Loki himself had managed to become. But the Trickster God was slick enough to slip out of every trap the TVA set for him, teaming up with Sylvie, a female Loki from another dimension, to expose the founder and shut the operation down. Even if Loki Season 2 manages to be as engaging as Loki Season 1, there’s this other problem. Season 1 introduced Kang the Conqueror, intended to be the Big Bad of the current “multiverse” arc of the MCU.

Is The Little Mermaid (2023) a success or failure?

Is The Little Mermaid (2023) a success or failure?

, , , , , , , , , , 10

The Little Mermaid (2023) is probably one of the most polarizing film in the modern era. It was actually the Number one movie in the box office for a week when it debuted but its rankings went down when  Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts took over. We have the critics giving it the most  positive reviews because of Halle Bailey’s beautiful voice and charismatic presence. Look at all these Fresh Tomatoes reviews it got from Rotten Tomatoes.   Critics who praised The Little Mermaid (2023) Regardless of the controversies of this movie, I can say it puts Halle Bailey to the map. Her future projects will give her success.  Then if you go to YouTube, it is the Go to Punching bag of the Culture War anti-woke crowd. When the first Teaser trailer came out, it garnered a large number of dislikes and hate. Supporters says it is racism but I think this is Nostalgia vision. The Ariel many Millenials and Gen X remember is

Carl’s date going to be the closest thing we are going to have to an Up sequel at this moment. We don’t know what is Disney’s plan for this Widowed adventurer but he finally moves on from Ellie’s Death. This is the second Mini Spin-off for Up. The first one is Dug Days, Which shows us a slice of the life of Dug the talking dog. You can watch those animated Shorts on Disney Plus.  Some fans are theorizing that Carl’s Date and Dug Days are Disney’s attempt to test the waters if there is a demand for a sequel for Up. That movie ended on a positive note and made $735.1 million. Something Disney and Pixar needed right now after the failure of Lightyear and Strange World. Carl’s Date official Trailer Just a Look back at Carl’s life, We get to see his past when he fell in love with his Childhood Sweetheart Ellie. We see how friends became lovers and how he sticks with her despite her miscarriage

Say Ello To Elio, Pixar’s Next Star

Say Ello To Elio, Pixar’s Next Star

, , 9

It remains to be seen whether Pixar’s Elemental will enjoy any level of success, but as far as movie premises from them go, it feels rather boilerplate — the kind of premise SNL would come up with to parody a Pixar movie. The one they have coming after this, Elio, feels a bit more original. Elio is a small child with one eye and an overactive imagination. He also happens to have one of the worst instances of bad timing we’ve ever seen when he phones his NASA scientist mother JUST as she’s receiving confirmation of alien life outside of Earth. When the aliens demand to see our “leader,” that’s when Elio calls, and the ETs assume they’ve been shown Mr. Big. Elio is promptly tractor-beamed into a UFO and blasted into space, as the planet’s unwilling ambassador. Elio has now joined the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies across the universe. But his membership isn’t free — he will have to prove his worthiness, and perhaps Earth’s

Ahsoka Gets Her Own Show August 23

After George Lucas wrapped up his theatrical Star Wars movies “forever” with Revenge of the Sith, he turned to animation to tell some stories that occurred in between the prequel trilogy. The Clone Wars was the result, a CGI cartoon that debuted its pilot on the big screen and, there, revealed a new character that had not made any appearance in any of the movies: Ahsoka Tano. Ahsoka wasn’t just anyone…she was Anakin’s own apprentice. Through that connection, she would unavoidably be in nearly every episode, and Star Wars was taking a risk with that (we had already seen what happens when the audience doesn’t like a character). The gamble paid off this time, however…people loved Ahsoka. She generated a fanbase over the seasons of The Clone Wars that became increasingly worried about her absence in the movies and what that could mean. Where did she go by the time Anakin flipped out, became Vader and ordered all Jedi dead? Clone Wars producer Dave Filoni was about to answer that

Disney Reveals Plans To Dump Dozens Of Shows From Streaming

Disney Reveals Plans To Dump Dozens Of Shows From Streaming

, , , 7

There was a lot of reckless spending at Disney during the Chapek Era, mostly to prop up the Disney+ streaming service with a large flow of original content. But now the bubble has burst, the bills are coming in and Iger has returned to mop up the mess. And unfortunately, one of the decisions he’s made is to pull a Zaslav on much of the library both Disney+ and Hulu built up these past three years. Iger said during an earnings call yesterday that Disney basically made too many shows, and so they’re rewriting history so that they appear to have made less of them. “We realized that we made a lot of content that is not necessarily driving sub growth, and we’re getting much more surgical about what it is we make. So as we look to reduce content spend, we’re looking to reduce it in a way that should not have any impact at all on subs.” Well, unless they make people angry enough to cancel their subscriptions

Disney Releases First Trailer For Wish

Disney Releases First Trailer For Wish

As you know, because they have spelled it out many times, the Walt Disney Studio turns 100 this year. (So does Warner Bros, in fact, but they’re in a much less healthy position to celebrate.) Given that this massive company was founded on the art of animation, the higher-ups figured it should celebrate with a special animated movie devoted to the themes that have become synonymous with Disney — magic, stars, wish-granting, fairy tales, enchanted communities. Jumble up those things and you get Wish, coming to theaters this November. Asha is a teenager from the country of Rosas, known for the possibility of granting wishes for those who gaze upon the stars. Asha does just that and she doesn’t just get her wish — she gets the star itself. It makes her pet goat talk and does a bunch of other things. Now she’s got to keep the star out of the hands of Rosas’ monarch, King Magnifico — one of the few royals in a Disney movie who’s actually

People have….passionate opinions about Star Wars, if you haven’t noticed from poking around online. It seems the worst thing a human can possibly do is to make a bad movie or TV show set in the Lucas universe, and since taste is objective, everybody has different opinions on what stinks and what doesn’t. But there is one recent Star Wars product from the last 25 years that I haven’t heard a single complaint about. It’s Star Wars Visions. Visions is an anthology series where each episode is its own separate production, each from a different animation studio. With a format like this, the show can’t help but please everyone. If there’s a short you’re not into, maybe you’ll like the next one. And we didn’t notice any real dud episodes of Visions’ first season, which was created by the world’s top anime studios. Season 2 of Star Wars Visions won’t be limiting itself to just Japanese animation this time — studios from all over the world have contributed. We’ve got

Star Wars Celebration Info-Dump: A Galaxy Of New Movies And Shows

, , , , , 22

Disney could release information on their upcoming Star Wars things one at a time, like most other companies, but instead they usually cram everything into these big conferences two or three times a year, forcing us poor reporters to rush around and get everything up before everyone else does. The “Star Wars Celebration” conference took place this morning and Lucasfilm laid out all they have planned for the next year, and a few years after that. This time, there was more of an emphasis on the future of Star Wars in the movies, something we haven’t heard about since 2019. Despite prior plans, they aren’t committing to a new trilogy, just a few separate ideas — which is probably for the better. But there are a lot of TV shows in the works too. Read on for a Star Destroyer-sized infodump. Oh yeah, and if you’re one of those people who won’t stop complaining about how “bad” Star Wars is now, and how no one else can enjoy it because

Moana Live Action announced by Dwayne Johnson

Moana Live Action announced by Dwayne Johnson

Moana is the Disney Animated Film to get a Live action remake! Dwayne The Rock Johnson, will also reprise his role as The God Maui. I wonder if he will stay bald or if is he going to sport a wig. I have a feeling Auli’i Cravalho won’t be playing Moana.  She is not a teenager anymore she has commitments with other companies now.  An Unknown actress will probably get this opportunity and make a name for herself. Moana is one of the most successful modern animated Disney movies. It made $682.6 million  at the box office. The movie showcases Polynesian culture and becomes the first mainstream animated film to do so. In the Disney animated film “Moana,” a Polynesian girl named Moana sets out on an ocean voyage to save her island from a curse. Along the way, she meets a demigod named Maui, and the two of them work together to overcome obstacles in order to heal Te Fiti’s heart and save Moana’s people. Moana eventually discovers her
