Has President Trump come to Disneyland?
A new artistic decision at Disneyland is raising eyebrows—and more than a few chuckles—as fans react to a revamped silhouette of Walt Disney installed as part of the resort’s 70th anniversary esplanade display. But it’s not the pose or Mickey Mouse that’s catching attention. It’s the hair.
Yes, the hair.
Disney’s baffling decision to re-release its live-action Snow White remake this past weekend has resulted in one of the most humiliating flops the studio has ever experienced — and that’s saying something in the post-Wish era.
Initially intended as a crowd-puller for Mother’s Day weekend, Snow White was dropped into over 1,300 theaters across the United States. The result? A pathetic haul of just over $200k, averaging just $50 per theater.
As Doctor Who continues along its new era under returning showrunner Russell T Davies, key cast members are pushing back hard against long-running fan backlash and criticism that the show has embraced ideological messaging at the cost of its storytelling.
In an entertainment industry where press tours increasingly double as political soapboxes, Tom Cruise just proved that a movie star can still stay focused on the movie. During a press conference in Seoul promoting Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the man many call “the last real movie star” was asked a pointed question about President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on films produced outside the United States.
This week, The Hollywood Reporter ran a smug editorial by Patrick Brzeski blaming President Donald Trump for the film industry’s diminishing appeal on the world stage. The argument?

Years of ridicule over the warped Paris scene has finally led to a fix as Disney Imagineering will update the Eiffel Tower in Soarin’ Around the World at Disney California Adventure.
For years, one of Disneyland’s most talked-about visual oddities hasn’t come from a mischievous animatronic or a breakdown on Rise of the Resistance—it’s been the Eiffel Tower itself. The iconic Parisian landmark, featured in Soarin’ Around the World, has long appeared unnaturally curved when viewed from the sides of the theater. Now, Disney has finally decided to straighten things out—literally.
In a recent BuzzFeed UK interview, actor Alan Cumming—who famously portrayed Nightcrawler in X2: X-Men United—spoke candidly (and maybe a little too freely) about returning to the superhero genre in Avengers: Doomsday. But one offhand comment in particular set off a frenzy online.
Like him or hate him, Pedro Pascal’s portrayal of Joel Miller helped anchor The Last of Us as one of HBO’s standout successes. But just two episodes into its second season, the showrunners made the bold decision to maintain one of the original video game’s more controversial decisions and end the character. This sparked not only controversy but a sharp decline in The Last of Us season 2’s viewership.

In a quiet but sweeping update to its user agreement, Nintendo now states it reserves the right to permanently disable your console—yes, brick it—if you’re caught attempting to pirate games, run unauthorized software, or tamper with any of the system’s protections.

Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps is entering dangerous territory with late stage reshoots just months before it hits the big screen. With two and a half months until its scheduled July 25, 2025 release date, the highly publicized Marvel reboot is currently undergoing filming once again in Los Angeles—and for many, this echos a familiar disaster for Marvel studios and Disney.
Weeks after Pedro Pascal hurled an insult at J.K. Rowling, calling the Harry Potter author a “heinous loser” over gender issues, the backlash hasn’t faded—it’s shifted. What started as a blunt remark posted to Instagram has evolved into a culture war moment, fueled by Rowling’s subtle, symbolic replies that put the final nail in the drama.
