I also hear with the “Haunted Mansion” film, Jamie Lee Curtis shall be playing Madame Leota, shall she!? Indeed she will be, bab! We are also getting Jared Leto playing the Hat Box Ghost! Also, according to the trailer they showed at D23, it looks like Winona Ryder, Owen Wilson and Danny DeVito are going to be in the cast too! Dang! That’s quite an all-star cast, so this movie is really going to be a big deal! I’m sure this will be in the right hands unlike that Eddie Murphy atrocity we got 20 years prior.

So, earliar this week, we got a trailer for "Peter Pan & Wendy", which I shall note does have an intriguing look to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ji5U2sTlLUBut, today, we have got a trailer for the upcoming "Haunted Mansion" Film! It definately does look like it shall be a fun ride (no pun intended), and shall also try to lean in more to the horror aspect, more than the other "Haunted Mansion" film does. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gartMjonTXcI am intrigued though, and may watch these films. What do you think of the trailer, Pups?

Indeed, bab. I also heard that they pushed the release date for the Haunted Mansion movie to July 28, two weeks earlier than its original initially planned release date.

I do like the one of Haunted Mansion, but the Peter Pan and Wendy one just sounds terrible.

Okay, I don't think anyone was expecting this...
They have announced a "Live Action" Re-Imagining of...MOANA! With Dwayne Johnson and Auli’i Cravalho seemingly reprising their roles of Maui and Moana respectively...
I mean, it's barely been a decade since the film... I am not sure if this was an April Fools they uploaded a day or so later my mistake but...Hm...
Is this going to be a full on remake, or more a factor of it exploring the Pacific Islands, discussing its history and the inspirations behind Moana?
What you think, Pups?

It probably is an April Fool’s Day joke, bab.
Although, Disney did announce recently that for the upcoming live action remake of Lilo & Stitch that they have the role of Lilo casted for it.

The thing is...the video is posted TODAY, and other outlets are saying Dwayne Johnson is set to act as producer for the film, via his production company, Seven Bucks Productions. Moana's voice Auli'i Cravalho, will executive produce with Scott Sheldon of Flynn Picture Co.
So, I don't think this is a prank, especially if its two days after April Fools, Eh?

I did see the new Little Mermaid last night.
I did enjoy it, even though I was aware there were some things there weren't perfect. Like how due to some 'changes' made to the story, it leads to a few 'idiot plots' and some stuff that doesn't make sense. And don't while she did a fine job, Haley Bailey isn't going to replace my picture of Ariel.
I did enjoy a good part of it though, as I felt some of the 'updates' like how there is a lot of Latin American influence probably in light of the success of Encanto, was appropriate. Oh and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula? *mwa!*
After the terrible year Disney had in 2022, they finally are getting their act together and making enjoyable movies this year.

I just saw the movie myself! I must say, this was easily one of the best live action remakes Disney has ever done! I especially loved Awkwafina’s performance as Scuttle, and she even got a song in the movie! Definitely recommend it!

Well, I saw the "Live Action" Little Mermaid, yesterday, and I got to say, I did really enjoy it.
While I will admit, I probably prefer the "Animated" one, this film in itself is still a good film on its own merits. It doesn't pull a de-saturated look to everything, and there are multiple scenes of good colours throughout.
Unlike "The Lion King" Remake, which just felt like a shot for shot remake, this film does make notable changes, which I do appreciate. One addition which I like is how they massively expanded on Prince Eric's Character, in a way showing him as a Land-Based Ariel, complete with his own collection, which definately helps with the two's relationship and giving them something to bond over.
On top of that, the cast do give a wonderful job throughout the film. Daveed Diggs gives a fun performence as Sebastian, Awkwafina gives the type of perky behavior you expect from Scuttle, and Melissa McCarthy does capture Ursula well. Of course, the real MVP is Halle Bailey, who is wonderful as Ariel, with a good voice to match. Oh, also, without giving too much away, Jodi Benson, the original voice of Ariel, does make a cameo in the film. You'll likely Know who when she comes on screen.
Still, like I say, I had a good time watching it, and it is definately one of the better Disney Remakes.
Who has also seen the film?
