"Lady and the Tramp" Dominates Disney Side Of Disney+, D23 Panel
Disney unleashed this slee of trailers for content coming to Disney+, & out of their camp Lady & the Tramp dominated. Described as “a timeless re-telling of the 1955 animated classic, a pampered house dog and a tough but lovable stray embark on an unexpected adventure and, despite their differences, grow closer and come to understand the value of home.” This looks amazing! The real animals mixed with CGI look great. Hands down this was the shining gem of all the trailers I've seen, & have down here. Disney-wise this is the one for me release day for Disney+. Next up was Noelle. I'm not sure about this one. When I first heard of it, it sounded horrible. This trailer gives me a little hope though. It could be straight to video funny. It's official synopsis is, “Kris Kringle’s daughter is full of Christmas spirit and holiday fun, but wishes she could do something “important” like her beloved brother Nick, who will take over from their father this Christmas. When Nick is about to crumble like a gingerbread cookie from all the pressure, Noelle suggests he take a break and get away…but when he doesn’t return, Noelle must find her brother and bring him back in time to save Christmas.” Fingers crossed, but I'm not placing any bets on this one. Same goes for High School Musical: The Musical - The Series. One I already thought was a horrible idea only furthered by the trailer & concept. Which goes, “The 10-episode scripted series, set as the real-life East High, where the original movie was filmed, follows a group of students as they countdown to opening night of their school's first-ever production of "High School Musical." With meta references and some docu-style elements, it's a modern take on the "classic" from 15 years ago. Show-mances blossom; friendships are tested, while new ones are made; rivalries flare; songs are sung; and lives are changed forever as these young people discover the transformative power that only high school theater can provide.” This looked like a train wreck trying to capture an Office style with the nostalgia of High School Musical. Count me out. Wasn't too much more impressed with Encore!. “Executive Producer Kristen Bell brings together former castmates of a high school musical, tasking them with re-creating their original performance in a high school reunion like no other. Emotions run high as the former students face faded friendships, former flames, self-doubt, and killer choreography. Through it all, these unlikely groups of friends—with the help of Broadway's best—just might pull off a standing-ovation-worthy performance of beloved musicals like "The Sound of Music," "Beauty and the Beast," "Annie" and more.” Love Kristen Bell, but not even she could get me excited for this. I wanted to end on a high note however, & that comes in the form of something that comes a little after launch, One Day at Disney. “The spectacular collectible book and documentary shines a dazzling light on the creative forces in front of the cameras and behind the scenes at The Walt Disney Company. On December 3, the same day the book arrives in stores, Disney+ will debut it’s new, 52-episode short-form series One Day at Disney, launching with a feature-length documentary. This exciting new series takes an in-depth look at the unique and surprising roles these men and women call their daily jobs. The series and documentary are from Endeavor Content’s Non-Scripted Division and executive produced by Michael Antinoro and David Chamberlin and produced by Victoria Chamlee.” That's the official synopsis, & I can't wait! I've seen some of thes people do their jobs on a regular basis. Especially the stage shows. This is going to be a real emotional one as these guys have brought me so much enjoyment through their amazing performances. It's a privilege to be let into their lives backstage. Anyway, I'm sure there was more. Be on the lookout next week for the D23 wrap-up video. Love to know what y'all think. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
