food IS a theme park
Disney really gave us a lot to think about with its feature Soul. And we’ve seen it represented in everything from merchandise to a Disney World drink to a new exhibit based on the film at EPCOT!
Soul Mural
Soul starts off with Joe Gardner’s journey to the afterlife where he becomes a mentor for the rebellious soul only known as 22. But have you ever wondered what 22 was like before she met Joe Gardner?
You may have watched your favorite Disney movies HUNDREDS of times as a kid. But, you might not find out about all of the cool easter eggs, hidden details, and alternative endings(!!) until you’re much older.
Cinderella, We’re So Confused! Please Help!
When you’re older, you’ll also probably start to realize a bunch of things about the Disney movies that MAKE ZERO SENSE!! (Olaf LIED! 😆) Seriously, there are some MASSIVE plot holes in Disney movies that you may have never given a second thought to or noticed. And once you see them, believe us when we say you will NOT be able to unsee them ever again. You’ve been WARNED!
Get excited, friends! We’re here with a BIG Disney+ update.

April was FULL of fun stuff on Disney+, like The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, and Big Shot. But we’re lookin’ ahead to May, which is jam-packed with tons to watch, too!

It’s premiering on May 28th, 2021 in theaters (and on Disney+ for an additional fee!). That’s getting close, guys! We’ve been getting excited with the first full trailer and a little sneak peek of the film. And now, we’ve got a second trailer to tell us even more about Cruella’s backstory.
Ever since Marvel fans first saw Natasha Romanoff in The Avengers, they have clamored for a solo Black Widow film. And now, it’s on the way!

Black Widow was originally scheduled to release earlier last year, but then it got delayed until November due to the global health crisis, which closed many movie theaters. As the situation progressed, Disney delayed the release again until 2021.
With many folks stuck at home a lot more than usual in the past year, streaming services became kind of a big deal! Streaming stuff at home in your pajamas became basically THE quarantine activity (aside from baking bread and doing puzzles, of course).
WandaVision
Disney launched its Disney+ streaming service just prior to the global health crisis and it EXPLODED with popularity during 2020! With The Walt Disney Company suffering heavily in other sectors (namely the theme parks), Disney+’s popularity came at a critical time. Now, it might CONTINUE to be the company’s saving grace!
Calling all Frozen fans! If you’ve missed seeing our favorite sisters in action, you might want to check out a new, online Frozen event.
Anna and Elsa showing some sisterly love!
In preparation for Siblings Day, Disney has released a new YouTube series that lets us hang out with our fave sisterly duo, Anna and Elsa! We can’t wait to see these two celebrate family and show us that “Love Is an Open Door!”

There’s lots of exciting stuff coming to Disney+, but we’re waiting patiently for Disney’s new Obi-Wan Kenobi series (seriously, we are SO ready). We’ve already learned that Hayden Christiansen will be reprising his role as Darth Vader — he played the role in 2 of the 3 prequel films. And Ewan McGregor will star in the series, too! But today, we got even MORE casting news.
There’s no denying it: it’s been a WEIRD few years for movies.
Have You Seen Raya and the Last Dragon? ©Disney
In response to the global health crisis, Disney’s approach to releasing movies has been creative and surprising at times. It can seem kind of random how they decide to release each of their films. So, is Disney playing favorites with certain movies getting a “better” type of release? Let’s take a look!
Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon has taken off since its release on March 5th on Disney+ and in theaters! We have fallen in love with these characters, especially Raya’s iconic sidekick.
Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture
Disney is notorious for having some of the best sidekicks. We have seen Dante from Coco, Olaf from Frozen, and Hei Hei from Moana. Most recently we were given Tuk Tuk from Raya and the Last Dragon, and now we’re looking at how this lovable character was created!
