Dave Filoni apparently isn't finished with the MandoVerse on the big screen despite the failure of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie. Despite The Mandalorian & Grogu delivering a deeply disappointing theatrical performance earlier this year, Filoni's long-planned...
The folks at Imagineering now have a story they’re telling, and we all know they loudly proclaim that it’s all about the story, right? This one’s a real doozy. They claim draining the Rivers (now swamps) Of America and removing as much Americana as they can from Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom is part of “reimagining” and helping guests discover and create “their own folklore.” (And the unstated subtext, as with all such pronouncements from Disney management in the past 10 years or so is—“…and if YOU disagree, you’re an ikky, yukky doodoohead, so there!”)
The Muppets are taking over Rock’n Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. But if you were expecting the new Aerosmith-removing reskin to be something worth looking forward to, think again. Imagineers have screwed up another big assignment.
When news broke that Disney would plant its next castle in Abu Dhabi, many assumed the decision was simply about money and oil wealth. After all, the United Arab Emirates has made a name for itself by luring global brands with deep pockets and glittering infrastructure.
For years, Disney has been accused of alienating men and boys, the very audience that once made Marvel and Star Wars global juggernauts. Now, according to a Variety exclusive, the company is quietly admitting its mistake. Executives are instructing their film division to create content specifically targeted at Gen Z males—boys and young men between the ages of 13 and 28, who Disney has been pushing away for years.
Walt Disney World removed native dining-reservation search from the My Disney Experience app today. Tapping “Check/Reserve Dining” now opens a web browser—mirroring how Park Pass once worked. BlogMickey first spotted the change, noting that other app functions (like...
Hollywood has long been a place where public figures keep in line with the prevailing political winds. Speaking positively about Donald Trump or his administration is generally a career hazard for actors working under the Disney umbrella or starring in Marvel blockbusters. Yet in a stunning turn, one of the biggest names in entertainment has broken that mold. Chris Pratt, beloved by audiences as Star-Lord in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films, went on Bill Maher’s podcast and defended the Trump administration — earning rare public agreement from Maher himself.
Disney has removed the iconic Adventureland sign in Magic Kingdom. Is this just a refurbishment or have “modern sensibilities” struck again?
Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is changing—dramatically. 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. The Rivers of America is nearly drained, leading some to wonder if current Disney leadership has little reverence for America’s frontier-era history.
Is KPop Demon Hunters a girl boss movie? Well, yes, and also no. Certainly not in the way that’s been infuriating movie goers for years.
Disney’s Marvel Studios is pulling the plug on Georgia as a production hub, and the fallout is already being felt across the state. Once hailed as the “Hollywood of the South,” Georgia built its entertainment economy around Marvel blockbusters like Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Black Panther.
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. The film was dogged by criticism before release, marred by political firestorms during promotion, and ultimately collapsed at the box office. Now, Gal Gadot—the actress behind the Evil Queen—has drawn renewed attention to Snow White after candidly suggesting that anti-Israel backlash was to blame for the movie’s failure.
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...
Guests heading to the Haunted Mansion this summer are being met with something more frightening than any ghost or ghoul inside the ride itself: giant industrial fans lined up in the outdoor queue.
