‘Mario Galaxy’ Movie Merch Reveals Subtle Redesign for Toad

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie won’t arrive in theaters until April 3, but merchandise for the film is already hinting at a minor redesign for Toad. For the last few months, the voice of Toad, Keegan-Michael Key, has been dropping hints that the character would be “finding his light” in the new movie. Now it’s clear what he meant.

‘Zootopia 2’ Becomes Disney Animation’s Highest-Grossing Film Ever

At the end of a rough year for the company, Disney had a historic win. Zootopia 2 has become Walt Disney Animation’s highest-grossing movie ever, with $1.46 billion at the global box office. Previously, the record was held by 2019’s Frozen II, with $1.45 billion. While many of the company’s 2025 releases, like Snow White and Captain America: Brave New World, faltered at the box office, Zootopia 2 could provide a template for projects in other franchises.

Disney Celebrates America’s 250th Anniversary in 2026 Tournament of Roses

Remember when Disney was steeped in Americana? Being welcomed to Disneyland by hearing “Walkin’ right down the middle of Main Street, USA” sung with glee by The Dapper Dans felt as American as baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie! Well, in what seems like for the first time in forever, Disney is bringing back that Americana with their entry in this year’s Tournament of Roses Parade: a brand new, grand float to be called “Disney Celebrates America”.

One Month After Release No One Is Playing Sweet Baby Inc.’s South of Midnight — Player Count Plummets Despite Gaming Media Declaring It a Success

Despite what you might have heard from the gaming media, the South of Midnight player count is anything but a success a month after release.

When South of Midnight was announced, it promised something bold—a narrative-driven action-adventure steeped in Southern Gothic folklore with a unique stop-motion art style. It debuted with fanfare during Microsoft’s showcase events and landed day-one on Xbox Game Pass. From the moment it was revealed, the gaming press rallied around it.

But a month after launch, the South of Midnight player count numbers tell a very different story: almost no one is playing it.

Disney CFO ‘Encouraged’ by Trump Film Tariff Plan – ‘He Wants to Make the Industry Stronger’

In a surprising twist that’s turning heads across both Hollywood and Washington, Disney Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston has responded to President Trump and his proposed film tariff with something most didn’t expect—encouragement.

During a CNBC interview following Disney’s quarterly earnings report, Johnston addressed Trump’s call for a 100% import tax on movies made outside the United States. Rather than outright rejecting the idea, the Disney executive offered a surprisingly diplomatic take.

Disney Abu Dhabi Expansion Raises Eyebrows as Virtue Signaling American Company Partners With Restrictive Middle Eastern Regime

The Walt Disney Company made waves this week with its announcement of a brand-new theme park and resort coming to Abu Dhabi in the United Aram Emirates.

Bob Iger Praises Thunderbolts as Marvel’s Turning Point Despite Record-Low Opening

Disney CEO Bob Iger has declared Thunderbolts the “first and best example” of Marvel’s renewed focus on quality over quantity—even as the film delivered the lowest summer opening weekend in MCU history. In a way he’s right. The film’s quality has been praised by critics and viewers alike, but it hasn’t made a large quantity of money.

Marvel Uses Robert Downey Jr. to Sell Ironheart Ahead of Disney+ Release — Explains Why Riri is More “Remarkable” Than Tony Stark

Marvel is invoking the name of Robert Downey Jr. in an attempt to justify its upcoming Ironheart series.

Marvel’s Ironheart is gearing up to close out Phase Five of the MCU on Disney+, and the studio appears to be going into full damage control mode ahead of the premiere. Despite fans still scratching their heads over her inclusion in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel is now rolling out legacy name-drops, strategic comparisons, and emotional appeals in a thinly veiled attempt to build hype—and legitimacy—for a show that few asked for.

Disney is Building a Brand New Theme Park in Abu Dhabi But Isn’t Spending a Dime to Build It

The Walt Disney Company just made a major announcement—but it’s not one that will cost them much upfront. Disney is expanding its theme park footprint to the Middle East, teaming up with Miral to bring a brand-new park and resort to Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. This marks Disney’s seventh global theme park resort, but unlike the company’s $60 billion investment plan for its other parks, this one is being built entirely on someone else’s dime.
