Disney+ Is Going Back To Monstropolis!

Disney just announced Monsters at Work, an animated spinoff for Disney+. John Goodman (Sulley) and Billy Crystal (Mike Wazowski) will return. A THR exclusive went further reporting they'll be joined original cast members John Ratzenberger (Yeti), Jennifer Tilly (Celia) and Bob Peterson (Roz). Along with some new blood Ben Feldman (Superstore), Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Henry Winkler (Barry), Lucas Neff (Raising Hope), Alanna Ubach (Coco), Stephen Stanton (Star Wars Resistance) and Aisha Tyler (Archer). The series picks up 6 months after the original film with the power plant now harvesting the laughter of children to fuel Monstropolis. It'll follows Tylor Tuskmon (Feldman), a mechanic on the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team who dreams of working on the Laugh Floor alongside Mike and Sulley. Tran will voice Val Little, Tylor's lifelong friend. While Winkler takes on Fritz, the scatterbrained boss, Neff will voice Duncan, an opportunistic plumber, Ubach, Cutter, the officious rule follower, Stanton is Smitty and Needleman, a bumbling custodial team, & Tyler will bring to life Tylor's mom, Millie Tuskmon. The show will be produced by Disney Television Animation & developed & executive produced by Bobs Gannaway (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse). With Ferrell Barron on board to produce & Kat Good and Rob Gibbs direct. Add this to the list of things I'm excited for coming to Disney+. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the original, I really liked the prequel, & I love the Laugh House at Magic Kingdom. Can't wait to see where they go with this. They must be onto something to get the whole cast back. Hopefully the animation style won't change. What do y'all think? Ready to visit Monstropolis again? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Tessa Thompson Going From Valkyrie To Lady

A Collider exclusive has Tessa Thompson in negotiations to play the title role in the live-action Lady & the Tramp . She'll be playing opposite Justin Theroux in a cast that's finally starting to fill out. They'll be joined by Benedict Wong of Doctor Strange playing Bull, an English bulldog, as well as Kiersey Clemmons as Darling, & Ashley Jensen voicing Jackie, a Scottish Terrier modeled after the animated original's Jock. Tessa Thompson is becoming an up an comer to really keep your eye on. She was great in Creed, & though I sold her short going in, I loved her in Thor: Ragnarok . I keep saying if they take this as serious as it looks like they're going to, it could really put Disney's streaming service on the map early on for 2019. Charlie Bean is directing a script by Andrew Bujalski, produced by Brigham Taylor. I saw this yesterday, but also saw Disney had no comment on either Thompson or Wong's casting. Saw it in a lot more places since, & Collider's pretty on point usually. So, while not set in stone, I'm gonna think this happening is a safe bet. Thompson seems like a great pick for anything though, & Wong is one of my favorite parts of Doctor Strange. I'm all for it. Anyway, what do y'all think of this casting?

Justin Theroux Might Be The Tramp They Love

In a Collider exclusive from Jeff Snider, Justin Theroux is reportedly nearing a deal to fill the male part of title role of the live-action/CG hybrid remake of Lady and the Tramp. It's expected to debut on Disney’s upcoming streaming service once it launches in late 2019. I'm not going to lie here, I totally had to Google this guy. After that, I realized though he had been in some movies & shows I'd seen, I still couldn't place this guy at all. The only spot I could place him was as the master code breaker in The Last Jedi,  & that was seconds. So, I can't speak on him, but the casting made me wonder. Obviously the dogs will be CGI, but what if they do the whole mocap thing? Mix it with the facial features of a dog? I'm 90-95 percent sure they won't go through all that. If anything to make the talking dogs seem more real. Anyway part of me thinks that would either be really cool to have talking dogs with some of the actors expressions. While the other part of me thinks that would come up completely terrifying. So, yeah, don't know why this casting made me think that. Can't wait to see this cast fill out more. If they don't treat this like the old straight to video poodoo, it could make the streaming service launch a must have for a lot of people. What do y'all think? Any insight on Justin Theroux for me?

"The Muppets" Are Coming To Disney's Streaming Service!

First & foremost, I love The Muppets . Not only have I always & will I always love them, I also am quick to let everyone know that The Muppet Show was not for kids. Kids could enjoy it, but I guarantee they can't appreciate the actual comedy behind it like grown-ups. Legendary puppeteer Frank Oz even confirmed as much on Twitter recently, saying it wasn't done for the kids, they just got it. That said, in an exclusive THR has reported sources telling them that The Muppets will be rebooted for Disney's upcoming streaming service. We tried this in 2016 on ABC with The Muppets.  Resembling The Office , it just didn't resonate well with fans or critics alike. Cancelled after one season, I enjoyed it. It just felt like they were trying for something that just didn't fit with The Muppets . The lighthearted humor was replaced with a little too much modern cynicism to mesh. I'm sure they thought theyh needed an edge, but maybe they should've at least worked up to it. Anyway, this is one more small step to getting my money for a Disney streaming service, how bout y'all?

New Details On Disney's Upcoming Streaming Service

New details have surfaced via Deadline about Disney's streaming service to launch in 2019. So far, nothing about 21st Century Fox assets yet. Makes sense, considering that'll be tied up in court for about a year. There will be no R-rated films. Those will stay on HULU. Same goes for the Marvel series on Netflix. The plan is to let them stay & do their thing where they're at. First year goal is to shell out 4 to 5 original movies & 5 TV series just for the service. They rumor some awesome priority movie projects in Don Quiote, Lady & The Tramp, The Paper Magician, Stargirl, & Togo.  Of which, I'm especially excited for Don Quiote.  Already in post production for the streaming service is Magic Camp,  & the female Claus film with Anna Kendrick, Noelle.  Actual priority developments include 3 Men and a Baby (again?), Sword in the Stone (Yay!), & Timmy Failure  (??). The TV lineup is where it gets really interesting with High School Musical, Monsters Inc. series, a Marvel live action title, & a live action Star Wars series. Now as cool as all that sounded, they still haven't put a price tag on it. I'm starting to think that might be the big deciding factor for me. That, & I'm still wondering how deep they're going to pull out if the vault? If they dig out classic episodes of Disneyland, World of Color,   & original Mickey Mouse Club,  along with the classic cartoon shorts, sign me up. Without that vault presence though, I must know how much we're talkin? What do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

Disney To Leave Netflix In 2019 (UPDATE: Marvel & Lucasfilm To Depart The Streaming Service As Well)

UPDATE: Disney CEO Bob Iger, has said, "We've now decided we will put the Marvel & Star Wars movies on the app as well." Caught that on Collider, as well as the info that Disney is planning 5 original movies, & 4-5 original TV style shows for the streaming service as well. Will some now be Star Wars or Marvel? Only time will tell. This pretty much cemented myself in having to have this service. Still hoping they add the classic short & shows from yesteryears as well. I'm keeping my eye on this one for sure. Put your thoughts on this new info in the comments, like, & share. 

You won't be Netflix & chillin with the mouse for too much longer. Disney has announced it will be pulling out of popular streaming service in favor of their own according to John Campea's Movie Vlog. No word on if that will include Marvel & Lucasfilm, but one would kinda figure those are implied. Who knows? I'm more interested in what a Disney Streaming Service would look like. Does that include vaulted classics or shorts on top of what's released. Additions like that would really dictate if I needed this in my life or not. I could totally see me shelling out to be able to watch any Disney classic, film or short from any device. Not to mention if they added some of the old television content such as Disneyland, The World Of Color, & of course the Mickey Mouse Club. Who's with me? Who else is curious about this? For that matter is there anyone who this will make reevaluate their Netflix subscription? Let us know in the comments, like, & share.
