An Aladdin spin-off is in the works, as Disney is reportedly developing a spin-off of the live-action remake following Prince Anders. The project is intended to premiere on Disney+ and likely won’t be having a wide theatrical release akin to Aladdin. Billy Magnussen is expected to reprise the role from the movie, and Disney has hired Jordan Dunn and Michael Kvamme to write the screenplay. Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich are also on board to produce for Rideback, with Ryan Halprin executive producing.

Though the live-action Aladdin remake was largely faithful to its source material, it did introduce some original characters. Magnussen’s Prince Anders is one of the movie’s standout creations, thanks in large part to his amusing portrayal...

Disney’s upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid has found its Prince Eric, as Jonah Hauer-King has reportedly officially signed on for the role. According to a new report, Hauer-King screen-tested twice for the role, with the second occurrence just a few days ago on Nov. 9 in London with director Rob Marshall. Apparently, Marshall likes what he saw in Hauer-King, as the young actor will now star opposite Halle Bailey as our new Ariel, the titular mermaid.

Jonah Hauer-King is a rising star in Hollywood who most recently portrayed a younger version of Tim Roth’s character in the drama movie The Song of Names. His casting in The Little Mermaid is not particularly surprising in that he had previously been reported to be among one of two finalists for the part along with Krypton star...

The release of Disney Plus is just around the corner. Numerous trailers are being released for the upcoming films and series, as well as original content, that will feature on this groundbreaking streaming platform. Fans are absolutely excited at what’s in store for the subscription service.

Disney Plus allows for a lot of opportunities to revisit old properties. While we already know that the animated division of the company will be heavily explored through the service such as the old Marvel animated series, there’s also an option to create new animated shows. With so many films in the Disney library now, any one of them could be brought back and reworked as a series. Here are three confirmed animated films that are getting a revival, as well as seven that definitely should return!

After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company. But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluct...

The official trailer for Robert Downey Jr.’s Dolittle is now online. This will be the first film the actor has starred in since his swan song as Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame, in addition to the first non-MCU movie he’s appeared in since 2014’s The Judge. Universal spent an estimated $175 million to make the Doctor Dolittle adaptation, in the hope of scoring a sizable hit with families powered by RDJ’s star appeal. Unfortunately, there’ve already been signs of trouble, beginning with Dolittle being delayed from April 2019 to January 2020.

More recently, it was reported the film was undergoing major reshoots, with Chris McKay (The LEGO Batman Movie) writing new material and Jonathan Liebesman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) directing. The reshoots have since been completed, and Dolittle – ...

‘Onward’ Trailer: Meet Pixar’s Newest

There are some classic Pixar elements in the new trailer for the studio’s next animated, feature, Onward. It’s about a pair of mismatched buddies — brothers, in this case — who set off on a journey to find something, and reconnect with their father and each other along the way. Of course, there are new aspects too. Not too many Pixar movies have a hard rock score or elves tooling around a fantasy world in a beat-up old van.

The brothers are voiced by Tom Holland and Chris Pratt. They try to bring their late father back to life with a magical spell — but something goes wrong and only half of him comes back to life. Like, literally, he’s just a pair of legs with no torso or head...

‘Toy Story 4’ Easter Eggs

While Toy Story 4 breaks from series traditions in some ways — there’s no Andy, except in a brief prologue, as he passed on his toys to a little girl named Bonnie at the end of Toy Story 3 — it still maintains many of the hallmarks of the series that introduced the world to Pixar Animation Studios back in 1995. From the very beginning, Pixar loved littering its films with Easter eggs; references both to itself and to other beloved movies. Toy Story 4 might have more of these Easter eggs than any Pixar production to date. (It helps setting a big chunk of your movie in an antiques store; you can hide a lot of shoutouts in all that bric a brac.)

Below are 20 of the coolest Easter eggs we found in Toy Story 4. (There are also a few minor SPOILERS, bu...
