Over the years, Disney has created some of the most memorable characters in the history of film, with the likes of Belle, Aladdin, and, of course, Mickey Mouse himself becoming household staples due to their fun personalities, catchy songs, and brilliant movies. Of course, tons of different characters have been created throughout the years, from humans to gods and even dinosaurs, and something Disney has done a lot of is animals....

Company CEO Bob Iger recently confirmed what industry analysts have long recognized - that Disney’s purchase of Fox’s assets was about beefing up its Disney + content library, and not making it possible for the X-Men and Fantastic Four to share the screen with the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Mouse House is also in the process of developing original material for Disney+, with the intention of making projects like the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian and the live-action Lady and the Tramp remake immediately available when the service launches....

Disney’s Star Wars hotel launches guests into space before they check-in. The legendary franchise’s two theme parks, Galaxy’s Edge, haven’t even been open a year yet, but so far both continue to offer enough Star Wars immersion for fans of all ages. Though the California-based Star Wars attraction was the first of its kind to open in May 2019, at the moment it’s the Florida-based attraction inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios, at the Walt Disney World Resort that is gaining considerable attention....

Update: AAPL shares fell 2% on the report. A report today claims that Apple is cutting its iPhone X production targets in half in response to ‘disappointing holiday season sales.’ Apple is said to have notified suppliers that it has cut its production target for the first quarter of this year to 20M, after previously telling them to expect to produce 40M units … Nikkei carries the report, based on unnamed supply-chain sources....

Was “Marge Be Not Proud” the beginning of the end for The Simpsons? Everybody knows The Simpsons is not what it was. It hasn’t been for almost two decades; we’re much further from The Simpsons Movie than The Simpsons Movie was from good Simpsons. This can be easily seen by firing up any classic, seasons 2-8 episode and comparing it to what’s produced now; season 30’s currently airing and, while it may not be quite as nonsensical as the late teens/early twenties, the bite and verve is so removed they barely qualify as the same show....

There are many Easter eggs hidden in Disenchantment season 2 that pay homage to The Simpsons and Futurama. This is par for the course for series creator Matt Groening, who loves hiding shout-outs and in-jokes in his work - to the point of creating original languages just for the sake of planting coded messages into the backgrounds. The first season of Disenchantment started the tradition, by hiding a number of Easter eggs relating to the earlier animated series throughout its ten episodes....

The finale of Disenchantment season 2 was the culmination of 2 years of careful planning on the part of the series’ writers. While many felt the final episodes were rushed and introduced too many new elements at the last moment, virtually every development was foreshadowed at some earlier point. Despite having a much shorter episode order per season than most animated series, Disenchantment is noted for the number of Easter eggs it contains....

When it comes to adaptations, few have as testy a relationship as that between The Shining film and the novel. Stephen King famously disagrees with Kubrick’s vision, yet both are regarded as some of the best horror fiction ever created. With Doctor Sleep, Mike Flannagan aimed to resolve the two, creating a sequel that both honored the cinematic legacy of The Shining, as well as the peerless work of Stephen King....

Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Doctor Sleep. Doctor Sleep, the film adaptation of Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, introduces a frightening new antagonist: Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson), who leads a tribe of near-immortal creatures that feed on children with psychic abilities. These “shine vampires” are people who had the shining themselves before their transformation, and maintain their psychic abilities - which include everything from astral projection to mind control....

Although it has trouble reconciling the differences between King and Kubrick’s The Shining, Doctor Sleep is an affecting horror drama on its own. Stephen King is not a fan of Stanely Kubrick’s The Shining (as he’s perfectly happy to tell you), and has reason not to be. Kubrick’s film not only plays down the primary themes of King’s original novel, it also makes its central character, Jack Torrance, into less of a tragic figure that he was in the book, and seems to regard the story’s humans in general as little more than insects with no real say in their fates....

Here’s Trey Parker’s Despicable Me 3 villain Balthazar Bratt explained. The Despicable Me franchise began with the 2010 original, which followed Steve Carrell’s supervillain Felonious Gru, who comes to realize there’s more to life than evil schemes. The true breakout stars of the movie were Gru’s minions, which are small yellow creatures who speak in a language mostly comprised of gibberish. They soon became the franchise mascots, and of course, returned for both Despicable Me 2 and 3....

Detective Pikachu may not top Avengers: Endgame at the box office this weekend. Since opening at the end of April, Marvel’s latest blockbuster has dominated the marketplace, already crossing the $2 billion mark worldwide. It was always expected Endgame would do very well commercially, but nobody could have predicted the record-shattering numbers it actually posted. Prior to Endgame, the thought of a single movie grossing $1.2 billion in its debut was unfathomable, but the MCU was able to defy expectations....
