MSNBC is no more. At least, not in name. The network unveiled a new identity on August 18, 2025, announcing MSNBC will soon be known as MS NOW as part of a corporate restructuring under a new media company called Versant.

Big Thunder Mountain remains under refurbishment, construction walls are up around Pirates of the Caribbean and Frontierland, and the only remaining nod to America’s frontier history seems to be the Country Bears, which now highlights modern Disney songs.

Disney’s Snow White remake was supposed to be a surefire hit. Instead, it became one of the studio’s most controversial misfires in years.

Lookout, world. There's a new winner in animated movie soundtracks. For the last many decades, Disney has owned the modern movie-musical charts. Whether it was The Little Mermaid (1989), The Lion King (1994), or Phil Collins singing "You'll Be in My Heart," The...
