Along with this first teaser look at Sadie Stanley as Kim Possible it was also announced that Chrsty Carlson Romano & Patron Oswalt will be joining the cast. The new live action Disney Channel Original will debut in 2019. No details on Romano's character, but Oswalt will be reprising his animated role as Professor Dementor. Filling out the cast we've also got Sean Giambrone (ABC’s The Goldbergs ) as Kim Possible’s loyal best friend, Ron Stoppable; Alyson Hannigan ( How I Met Your Mother , Disney Junior’s animated series Fancy Nancy) as brain surgeon Dr. Ann Possible (AKA Mom Possible); Todd Stashwick ( 12 Monkeys ) and Taylor Ortega will play fan-favorite villains Drakken and Shego, respectively; Connie Ray ( The Big C ) as grandmother Nana Possible; Ciara Wilson ( OMG! ) as new high school student Athena; Erika Tham ( Make It Pop ) who will play Kim’s childhood frenemy, Bonnie; and Issac Ryan Brown ( Raven’s Home ) as teen computer genius Wade. I was a fan of the animated show, & this cast has got some real talent involved. This has got me really curious. This Disney Channel Original is looking like it has a ton of potential.

I Missed The Sneak Peek Of "Ralph Breaks The Internet"?
Go figure. On the road all day, & it just so happens to be the day they release the sneak peek of Ralph Breaks the Internet, Disney's Nov 21st follow up to Wreck-It Ralph. The sneak peek features the first look at newly announced cast member Gal Gadot as Shank, the "tough as nails" racer from the online game Slaughter Race. Honestly though, her scenes get fully overshadowed by Merida from Brave with the rest of the princesses. I was rolling laughing at that scene. It just kept giving. I'm so excited for this one. The first was a major surprise me. I didn't think I was going love it as much as I did. I want this to follow it up right so bad. So far the comedy seems totally on point. This thing's gonna tear the internet apart. My only concern is its actual, core storyline. Going into the internet to get a piece to save Penelope's game, Sugar Rush, seems a little thin. The first had a lot going on to rig on the heartstrings. I'm hoping this finds a way to keep that substance going alongside the funny. What did y'all think of this sneak peek?

New Trailer For "Nutcracker & The Four Realms" Gives A Bigger Look
A new trailer was released for Nutcracker & the Four Realms , along with this description: "All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world. Starring Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Disney’s new holiday feature film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is directed by Lasse Hallström and Joe Johnston, and inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic tale." There's a little more to go on for people like me who have never really fully seen the full story of The Nutcracker . I've seen excerpts here & there, but have never really been interested enough to see the whole story. And if I'm being totally honest, this trailer didn't make me want to hold my breath til November 2nd. Don't get me wrong, it looks visually amazing. In fact, I'm blown away by the visuals displayed here. I just didn't get much from the trailer that I hadn't already known. It looked like it would definitely grab anyone who's a Nutcracker fan already, but I didn't see anything that grabbed me except the synopsis. The synopsis actually sounds more appealing than what they've shown. This thing could have some hope for me yet. Won't know for sure until November 2nd. Maybe future trailers, with a little more story will help curve my excitement up. Anyway, what do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
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?

Ewan McGregor Interviews The Stuffed Cast Of "Christopher Robin" & More Featurettes
Just when you thought you were safe from any more featurettes, Disney has delivered 3 more for August 3rd's Christopher Robin. I put them in the order I enjoyed them. The first being a pretty entertaining interview between Ewan McGregor & his stuffed costars. I gotta give Eeyore most entertaining, but Tigger & Pooh hold their own as well. The second one collects Pooh's wisdom from some previous trailers, & highlights it. Considering that's been my favorite part of them so far, this totally works for me. It is leaning towards the style of the third though, I mentioned this on the last featurette that was released. I'm not liking the pattern of throwing out these whole minute to 2 minute scenes like in this third video. It could just be me, but seeing the whole scene not cut up, kinda takes me out of that part when it plays. Love the scene, don't get me wrong. I would just choose to see it in its whole with the whole film. Anyway, what are y'all's thoughts on this newest collection of featurettes? Put 'em in the comments, like, & share.
"Christopher Robin" Extended Look Is Filled With Pooh Wisdom
As with every other trailer for Christopher Robin , I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this extended look. The wisdom of Pooh is just great throughout this whole thing. My only real concern is if they're showing us too much of it. I really hope they're saving some quips that are just as good, or even better than what they've showed us now so far. They're getting to the point where if they don't have your money yet, you're probably just not that into Winnie the Pooh. All in all though, that's kinda how I'm getting with all these extended peeks. Luckily, most of it is from other trailers, but this will be the third film in a row with a full scene or two I've already seen. Honestly, it takes a little away from me. Which seems crazy, as they're primarily scenes we've basically seen. Usually just all chopped up throughout a course of trailers. I guess when it's like that & spread out over the course of trailers, it gets trickier to put it all together. Anyway, back to this actual extended look. Putting aside the fact that I don't need to see anymore, I loved every second. They had my money after the first trailer, & every bit of this peek had me smiling. I can't wait! What do y'all think? Is this silly ol bear in your future or not? Also, what do y'all think of this new pattern of extended sneak peeks? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"Big Hero 6" Hits SDCC With Some Great Footage
I got to see the first episode of Big Hero 6 The Series , but in all honesty that pilot was the only one. Though I really enjoyed it, I missed the others. So I really need to play catch up. However, I do love me some Baymax. So, if they felt these clips were enough for SDCC I had to check em out. First up was Mini Max. This had Scrappy Doo written all over it. They even imply it in description, only to totally, & quite hilariously flip the script. I liked the other two more, even though I saw them out of order. The second is Karmi's Fan Fiction. Apparently, Karmi is a girl that has a crush on "superhero" Hiro, but not so much "normal guy" Hiro. This is her Big Hero 6 fan fiction. There's even a payoff in the next video I didn't get, because I saw it out of order. I dug the "cutesy" animation style of this one though. I'm hoping that makes it's way onto a tee. That, & the subject of the third video in this lineup for that matter. The first look at Baymax's Overdrive Mode! He not only looked awesome, the effects afterwards were totally on point. With these videos powers combined, Big Hero 6 has jumped on the top of my catch up watch list. I've got some watching to do to get ready for these new episodes. What did y'all think? Did y'all dig these as much as I did? Let me know. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Don Cheadle Voicing Donald & More Of What's To Come From "DuckTales" Hit SDCC!
Talk about way out of left field. Don Cheadle, Thanos survivor, will be hitting the booth to supply his vocal talents to none other than Donald Duck. Donald's going to get ahold of some voice correction tech, & Don is taking this role seriously. I think I might even wind up liking this little interview more than the part. The second video features some more of what to expect from DuckTales future. Which if you haven't been keeping up, is an amazing remake to the classic series, that succeeds on every level. We're gonna get some world building with this season. Cape Suzette makes it's new debut. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the home to TaleSpin , another favorite from the 90s. This is where you'll get an appearance from one of my favorite characters, the pirate Don Carnage. We're also getting more to the nephew's mom hunt, as well as the debut of the remake's Magika. She's on the same quest from the original series to steal Scrooge's number 1 lucky dime. I've loved every episode of the new DuckTales so far, & I can't wait for more. As it expands though, I'm hoping we get some full remakes of the rest of the classic Disney Afternoon lineup. I could definitely use a return of Darkwing Duck, Rescue Rangers, & TaleSpin . What do y'all think though? About this new look, as well as the new series as a whole? Put it in the comments' like, & share.
Cast And Crew Of "Christopher Robin" Discuss Pooh's "Legacy"
The wheels of promotion have been thrown into high gear on Disney's Christopher Robin. A new trailer was almost immediately followed by this featurette titled Legacy . In it we get to see filmmakers & cast discuss exactly that. The great legacy of Winnie the Pooh . You can see how much these characters mean to all the people involved. This featurette along with the new trailer has really got me. I'm starting to think it's gonna be hard work not to get emotional through this one. I get all the feels just watching the trailer, if the movie keeps that up? I almost want to put reaction cams on the audience to catch the blubbering mess it dissolves into. Who else is bringing tissues? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Heart Melting New Trailer For "Christopher Robin"
This new trailer for Disney's upcoming Christopher Robin features a little of all the friends of Hundred Acre Woods, & left me giddy with excitement. This looks like it is going to be great. As funny as it looks, it definitely has the potential. As entertaining as this trailer was, what really keeps getting me is how well they've seemed to handle these characters. You see some years of character development in Ewan McGregor's Christopher Robin, but his beloved stuffed friends are exactly, nail on the head, as we remember them. You get some more of them in this trailer than others too. All in all, it looks like it could be a perfect blend of new & nostalgia. That's what really has me with all these trailers. Even though it's all new, the characters are so spot on, it still feels 100% familiar. I'm getting more & more excited with every look they give at this one. I can't wait until Aug 3rd! What about y'all? Did y'all love this new trailer as much as I did? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Lasseter's Former Role Split In Two As We Start A New Era
John Lasseter. If you don't know that name you haven't been paying attention for a long time. According to his Wiki he's played a major role in Disney films since as far back as Lady & the Tramp . That was a new one for me even. I've known Lasseter as the "father" of Pixar. If not, definitely the "daddy". He's been there to steer Pixar to greatness the whole way. November last year he stepped away on sabbatical for "missteps" with employees. It was announced this year that he will be finishing out the year, but only as a creative consultant. This leaves some really big shoes to fill. It's been years since Disney has seen uncertainty like this. Yesterday, the first steps were announced with Lasetter's former Chief Creative Officer (CCO) position being split in two. Jennifer Lee will be assuming CCO of Walt Disney Animation, while Pete Docter will be assuming the role at Pixar Animation Studios. Lee is best known for co-writing Wreck-it Ralph & writing/co-directing Frozen . Meanwhile, Docter was one of Pixar's first employees, & among many things responsible for writing/directing Up!, Inside Out, & Monster's INC. . Obviously there's a lot of talent between these two, but still only time will tell. They have some major weight to pull. These seem to be the driving forces behind a lot of the current hits. If they can keep up that pace we're in good hands. All in all, Disney's had its share of changes, so I'm sure that will not be as noticeable as Pixar's. Pixar has had the same head for awhile. I'm curious to see if there's not a major change in feel. This is exciting! An adventure into the unknown for Disney & Pixar animation. Can't wait to see what's next. What's your thoughts on the change? Are we in good hands? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
First Dumbo Trailer Has Arrived!!
A teaser is finally upon us for Disney's live-action Dumbo , & it looks amazing! It looks like a best of Tim Burton mash up going all the way back to Big Top Pee Wee . This was the live action film I've been most curious about. Burton's mark on a Dumbo? The idea intrigued me, & I'm loving how it looks in this teaser. Burton has a habit of overtly putting his mark all over his films. You can turn on later Burton films for a second & know they're his. The first thing I loved about this teaser is even though you can see his mark in spots, it seems more subtle like his older films. We've really got to address the elephant in the room though. Dumbo. I know when I first saw the pics earlier this year, I found them quite unsettling. Little soulless abomination, I think were my words. I did also say I reserved full judgment until I see him in motion, & once they breath life into him, he's friggin adorable. Not much story wise to the trailer, but a real good sense of what to expect from the visuals. Even what looked like a pink elephant scene was thrown in there. This teaser did its job though. I'm now pretty pumped for this March 2019 release, which the description reads as "the all-new grand live-action adventure “Dumbo” expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets." There's definitely a lot more to this than the animated classic. I was kinda "meh" on this one until this teaser. What do y'all think? Did this do it for ya? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Countdown To "Incredibles 2" With Two New Clips
I can't believe we're close to only a week away from Incredibles 2 . I got my tickets so long ago, I didn't even know we were this close. Disney*Pixar just released these 2 new clips for anyone that's still not quite on board. These clips fill in two scenes that have already been heavily featured in the trailers. Which is great in itself, just because we only spoil scenes we've basically already seen. Great movie marketing. These are great clips to extend on too. The cookie clip has Frozone seeing what Mr. Incredible has been going through while playing "Mr. Mom". This clip has some great one-liners in it, & if this is something we can hope to experience throughout.. we're in for a real treat. The second clip is more of the scene that I'm guessing opens the film. If so, probably the debut of Frozone this time around as well. Everyone really gets a chance to shine here, & I can't wait to see the rest of this action sequence. These have got me tallying down the days until next Wednesday. I signed up for the double feature, so I'm really going to get to see how this weighs against the first next Wesnesday. Anyway, what do y'all think of the clips? Put it in the comments, like, &
Love This New Trailer For "Ralph Breaks The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2"
Stormtroopers!!! I never thought I'd be saying I have to see Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 would be stormtroopers!! This trailer has me begging for this film to hurry up & get here. Released along with this absolutely great new poster, November 21st I know where I'll be. Before that if I can. We finally get to see the princess footage from 2017's D23, & it's every bit as great as they say it was. I have a feeling none of us will look at the internet the same way after this. Speaking of which, comedy aside, I love the model of the internet used in this film. The way they bring the world to life is so amazing, this film dosen't even need plot beyond that. I could watch them aimlessly roam around this internet for hours. In fact, this would've even made an awesome series. There's literally no end to where they can go with this. I had so much fun with this trailer I'm probably going to watch it a third time when I'm done writing this. I can't wait to see this movie. You have to check this out. Let me know what y'all think of it when you're done. Put it in the comments, like, & share.
"Maleficent II" Has Begun Production.... yay.
Production has begun at Pinewood Studios and locations around the U.K. on Maleficent II, the sequel to 2014’s Maleficent. I've kept no secret my thoughts on the brilliantly casted abomination that was delivered to us in the first film. Totally stripping away any villainy from what was Disney's greatest villain. Possibly one of the greatest villains of all time. So there's no need to say I'm not excited at all to see this continuation. Nonetheless I will still give it the chance to change my mind as there must be someone out there who wants this thing. Angelina Jolie returns to reprise the title role, along with Elle Fanning reprising her role as the lovely Princess Aurora. Joining the two are Michelle Pfeiffer as Queen Ingrith along Chiwetel Ejiofor, Ed Skrein, and Robert Lindsay. With Harris Dickinson joining the fray as the charming Prince Phillip. Directed by Joachim Rønning and written by Linda Woolverton, Micah Fitzerman-Blue, & Noah Harpster, the film will be produced by Joe Roth and Angelina Jolie. With the production announcement came this brief synopsis: "This new fantasy-adventure continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon-to-be Queen as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within." Look, this movie has so much going for it. Things that would normally entice me. Michelle Pfeiffer, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Disney, the perfect casting of Angelina Jolie. All these things can't make me look past how burned i'l felt by the first film. They had a chance to do something extraordinary, & give us a villain film. Instead we got the easy way out of misunderstood, & really a "good guy" villain. Does anyone even want this? Let me know in the comments, like & share.
"Christopher Robin" Drops New Trailer
Christopher Robin is officially starting get it's big push, releasing a new poster last night accompanied by a trailer today. And while this poster is cute, the trailer has me absolutely giddy. I'm hoping it's not just nostalgia, but I'm really digging this trailer. I can't wait to drag my kids to this. I've always been a giant Winnie the Pooh fan, & this trailer came off so genuine. Looks like there's gonna be a whole bunch of messages, surrounded by a whole bunch of fluff. So far, this is everything I was hoping for. August 3rd can't come fast enough. I'm looking forward to this even more than Mary Poppins Returns . How bout y'all? Pooh or Poppins? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Incredibles Vintage Toy Commercials Take Me Back
These are great! I would probably even pick up these toys. These "commercials" really brought me back to my childhood. I remember when toy commercials ruled everything. They even had whole TV shows created just to be giant toy commercials. And in between those? More commercials for toys. These embody that. Great promos for Incredibles 2 !
Paul Giamatti Joins The Rock On Disney's "Jungle Cruise"
Disney's upcoming attempt at capturing the ride turned film glory of Pirates of the Caribbean just keeps piling on more & more talent. According to a THR exclusive, Paul Giamatti will now be joining Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & Emily Blunt to brave the dangers of Jungle Cruise. We also get some small plot details. Johnson will play a boat captain who takes his sister (Emily Blunt) and her brother (Jack Whitehall) on a mission to find a tree believed to possess healing powers. Throw in some wild animals and a competing German expedition as well just for fun. Giamatti was perfectly selected to play a crusty harbormaster. They're looking to start later this month and shoot through the summer. Beau Flynn, John Davis and John Fox are producing, as are Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Scott Sheldon is co-producing, with Jaume Collet-Serra, the filmmaker behind The Shallows, The Commuter and Non-Stop. That's definitely not the best lineup of films right there, but fingers crossed. Either way, this thing just keeps adding talent in front of the camera. Giamatti is one of my favorite hit or miss actors. We he's on he's amazing, but when he's off.... Rhino. Anyway, what do y'all think of this addition or these plot details? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
First Look At Lin-Manuel Miranda's Gizmoduck!!!
Gizmoduck was by far my favorite part of Ducktales. Everyday I'd hope he was in the episode I was eagerly awaiting to watch.

Not Even The Addition Of Michelle Pfeiffer Can Get Me Excited About "Maleficent 2"
Michelle Pfeiffer has been one of my favorite actresses from the time I was able to recognize a favorite actress. So you know it's gotta be bad if THR announcing her her addition to Maleficent 2 still doesn't even have me the slightest bit interested. I loathed the first installment of this film. The perfect casting of Angelina Jolie in the title role had me so excited. Only to be crushed as they completely bastardized the story. Turning one of history's greatest film villains into another tired anti-hero. I still think they could've had a masterpiece on their hands if they would've just stuck to their own material. Anyway what's done has been done, & a sequel is coming whether I want it or not. Pfeiffer will play a queen, joining franchise newbie Ed Skrein, & returning Elle Fanning. Nothing's known of the plot, but I'm honestly expecting this one to go the route of Through the Looking Glass . Joachim Ronning will direct, which is a plus, with Joe Roth producing & Jez Butterworth & Linda Woolverton working the screenplay. So, yeah, I could totally do without this, how bout y'all?
