Frozen favorite Olaf will star in a new animated short coming this Friday, October 23rd to Disney+. In this new short, we go back to when Olaf was brought back to life by Elsa and watch as he searches for an identity…and what to use as a nose. Adventure awaits him and us. All of […]

2020 has become the Year of Mulan and in a bad way. Not only was Disney's live-action remake of the 1998 animated movie widely panned and a bomb in China, but there were also three more Mulan live-action movies and a new animated movie, all of them bad. Disney's Mulan cost $200 million and had […]

When it comes to Star Wars on the big screen, we really have no idea what to expect. We have several people lined up to work on movies and even a bunch of release dates, but we don't know what those movies will be about. Right now, the Star Wars content is on a much […]

COVID-19 has forced many studios to make some very tough choices when it comes to their releases. Some have elected to just push everything back to next year with the hope that the United States will get its collective shit together and get this pandemic under control. Some have elected to sell their movies to […]

The New Mutants heads home and on digital next month. After so many delays and years of holding our breath, the film released into theaters a few weeks ago to a world where very few screens were available and audiences were staying away. Somehow that seems fitting. Expect this release to do extremely well, though, […]

Pixar and Disney let us see about the first half of Soul and if there was one aspect of this movie that blew my stupid brain was the concept of the counselors. They are probably one of the coolest looking things that Pixar has brought to life so far. The still images of them are cool, […]

One of the things that makes Pixar great is that they don't talk down to the kids in the audience. Something that a lot of animated movies seem to think is that kids are just small, dumb adults, but they have a very unique way of looking at the world. When you're talking about a […]

Pixar is all about bringing things to life that should be impossible and giving them a sense of empathy that should be impossible. They've done it with toys, with bugs, with cars, with emotions, and now they are doing it again with souls. The concept of bringing a soul to life and what exactly would […]

There are a couple of things that make Pixar's Soul unique but one of the big ones is that this is the first a black character has been front and center in a Pixar movie. The studio said that they went through a lot of work to make sure that the movie was authentic and we […]

And another domino in the 2020 row falls, and this one isn't that surprising. It's not good, though, for the theater chains that are holding out on the off chance that 2020 was somehow going to turn around. As of a month ago, we heard from sources at Disney that they were planning on releasing […]

With more and more new releases getting delayed to 2021 and beyond, the domestic box office is living on re-releases right now. Most of the time, when you think about a re-release, you think of something from your childhood or a classic, like Hocus Pocus is currently the number two movie in the country, but […]

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is in something of a holding pattern due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We aren't getting a Marvel Universe movie this year, which hasn't happened since 2009, and the shuffling of the release date of the films and even the television shows are getting almost comedic at this point. If this […]

Alita fans (myself included) look for hope in just about every possible way when it comes to an Alita: Battle Angel sequel, but one rumor has officially been shot down by Alita and Suicide Squad star Jai Courtney. In an Instagram post a few months back, Courtney shared an image of himself in a motion […]

How did Point Break escape Mulan's fate? By luck more than judgment. In recent months, Bleeding Cool has excerpted-a-plenty from Chris Fenton's new book Feeding The Dragon. Fenton, formerly of Valiant-owners DMG and of IDW Entertainment, has a lot of experience creating media in China and the USA and is looking back at those experiences […]

Josh Brolin was the perfect actor to bring the Mad Titan Thanos to life in the MCU. I think we can all agree on that. The actor has been offered quite a few comic roles in the past, but a bad experience on Jonah Hex back in the day seemed to have turned him off. […]

One of the biggest challenges artistically is capturing the essence of ancient Chinese culture in Disney's live-action Mulan. I spoke with costume designer Bina Daigeler, who admits the film was her biggest and most ambitious project to date. "Mulan was a beautiful challenge to design the costumes," she said. Daigeler said the conceptualizing from art […]

Tron fans were let down a bit today, as the Mondo reissue of Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy score went up for sale this afternoon. Sadly, even as a preorder, the vinyl soundtrack release sold out in just under 7 minutes. With a first pressing that sells on the aftermarket for $100's of dollars, there are […]

The Disney live-action remake train is chugging along. While we don't have the exact numbers on Mulan, we can assume that it didn't do too terribly since Disney is still moving ahead with their live-action movies. There's also the fact that three of those remakes have cracked a billion dollars, so while there are plenty of […]

Mondo releases new vinyl special editions every single Wednesday. They are the ultimate edition of whatever they put out, featuring extensive liner notes, brand-new commissioned artwork, and always have a limited-edition size. The vinyl itself is usually colored or a photo disc, as well. Basically, it's like the Criterion Collection of movie and gaming soundtracks. […]

Despite all things happening in the world, the Disney movies keep on spinning. While Mulan didn't have the blockbuster release that Disney wanted, that doesn't undermine how well movies like The Lion King and Aladdin both did. While COVID-19 is still very much slowing down productions, that doesn't mean that Disney isn't filling out the casts of […]
