Well, I just got back from seeing "Haunted Mansion", and I can definately say it is a fun ride throughout!
It does some good character work, and a lot of good expansion on the lore of the attraction. There are plenty of homages made to the Attraction itself obviously, and I do like how well they integrate them into the story.
I especially love how they are able to use both the Disneyland & Disney World Facades for the Mansion. You'll Know what I mean, if you see the film. You get a couple of good spooks during the course of the film, too.
Together, I say it is a really fun film, and I feel people would respond more warmly to this adaptation, than they would the 2003 version. Definately worth a watch.
I admit, I wouldn't mind them doing a sequel to this. Maybe, adapting "Phantom Manor" at Disneyland Paris, or "Mystic Manor" at Hong Kong Disney?

Did anyone hear about that new Snow White? It already sounds like a terrible idea.
For one, I'm not sure about what they will do about... well, the dwarfs because they do have Grumpy cast despite claims that they would not appear, but while casting Gal Gadot as the Wicked Queen sounds inspired... is anyone looking forward to Rachel Zegler playing Snow White? You know, Snow White being played by a Latina?
I think this is just a bad idea all around.

I actually thought they were going to go with mythical creatures in place of them. Though I did hear that they were planning to make a seven dwarfs spin-off movie, but it’s been cancelled due to the backlash. Though I do know the movie itself has been postponed due to the writers strike, but they haven’t announced a new date yet.

I think it could still work but making it Snow White is gonna hold it back, like Cruella. It would be a better story as like "Princess Lupita and the Mythical Alliance" or something but making it Snow White hurts it because of the expectations.

From what I hear on the "Snow White" Film, it's actually going to be from the director of the recent "Barbie" Film, which does intrigue me, and also makes me wonder if, like the Barbie Film, it shall have a level of Self-Awareness?
I'd be willing to give the film a chance, though. I feel we should, at least, wait for a trailer before giving an initial reaction, Eh!?

Looking at the Disney Line Up, for the next couple of years, that has been shown this week, we got some more news on release dates for their "Live Action" Films.
Firstly, this December, we got "Mufasa", a prequel to the "Live Action" "Lion King" Film. I do wonder if they will take the comments made and potentially try to make the animals look a bit more expressive in it?
Secondly, we have the "Live Action" "Snow White" Film for the Twenty-First of March 2025! The "Live Action" "Moana" will then air on the Twenty-Sixth of June, of the same year.
Here be me source...
Although, I feel the 2025 Releases will be Disney Plus Exclusives. Do you think the "Mufasa" one will be a Theaterical Release, or a Disney Plus Exclusive?

We are also getting the live action Lilo & Stitch next year. I am pretty sure that one will be going directly to Disney+. However, I think Mufasa, Snow White and Moana are all planned to get a theatrical release.

I just heard that there was a leadership change at Disney. Because of this there's a rumor that their live remake of Bambi has been cancelled.

So, some months ago, it was announced that there is a "Live Action" "Moana" Film in the works. Originally, the film was planned to premiere during June of next year, however, it is being reported by DiscussingFilm that the film has been pushed back to July 2026.
I have several theories about why this is. One can be they want it to coincide more with the "Animated" Film's Tenth Anniversary, or they didn't want it too close to "Moana II"'s Premiere. Or, it could be due to the Hollywood Strikes a year ago causing some delays. Or, since Bob Iger's return to Disney, they have announced that Disney will be restoring decision-making to creative leaders, and prioritizing quality over output (Quality over Quantity), so it's possible they're delaying it to give it more time to properly bake too, Eh?
I have heard rumours about "Snow White" too, but I can not say for certain if that has been confirmed or not.
You hear on this, Pups?

Is the live Snow White still active? Things just seem very shaky right now so who knows what's happening with that.
I think it might be for the best if they cancelled it though.

I’m sure they will announce the news regarding these at D23. I won’t be going to that panel, but I’ll probably look up blogs of what they announce.

Ooooooooh, so we have an upcoming follow-up to the "Descendants" Franchise, known as "Rise Of Red", which I think is about the Descendant of the "Queen Of Hearts".
However, a very intriguing piece of information I have from this is that we are going to have Cinderella and her Prince in it...however...it's not the Cinderella one may expect.
For the film, Brandy Norwood & Paolo Montalban shall be in the roles respectively. For those who may not know, this is the cast of the "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella" Disney Television Musical from 1997, Norwood as Cinderella and Montalban as Prince Christopher!
So, this is a pleasant surprise for a Role Reprisal. That now makes me wonder...does that mean that the "Rodgers & Hammerstein" version of Cinderella is the canonical version in the "Descendants" Continuity, or more just a case of a fun little Casting Gag?

Well, looks like we have got a trailer for “Mufasa”, Pups! Looking at what I can see in this trailer, it looks like they did take some of the criticism on board from the first “Live Action” film, and are doing a conscious effort to actually make the animals more expressive in their facial movements. One of my critics of the first “Live Action” film was that it followed the story of the “Animated” one too closely, and didn’t mix it up a bit. Hopefully, this one shall have a more unique story! Also, the Musical Numbers shall be written by LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA! Why do I now want to see a Lion Production of “Hamilton”!? m.youtube.com/watch?v=MjQG-a7d41Q&pp=ygUObXVmYXNhIHRyYWlsZXI%3DI am willing to give this film a chance! What do you think of the trailer, Pups!?
