When you think of movies that could attain a cult following, you wouldn't think of a $200+ million blockbuster made by Fox, before they were bought by Disney, based on one of the most beloved manga properties of all time. Yet that is the position that 2019's Alita: Battle Angel found itself in. While the […]

There are plenty of movies that might have their hearts in the right place but still succumb to problematic tropes. That is something that the people behind Pixar's new movie were doing their best to avoid. They brought on a massive cultural counsel to help them with the movie and brought on Kemp Powers as a […]

Earlier this month, the Disney Investor Day had so many announcements that the Bleeding Cool writers were utterly overwhelmed. Kathleen Kennedy came out and announced a bunch of Star Wars TV shows, which we all sort of expected, but what we didn't expect was a movie announcement that no one saw coming. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins […]

Two of the mega corperations that own most of the things we love took gambles over the Christmas weekend. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic really hurt the entertainment industry in multiple ways. What, at first, looked like movies getting delayed a few months and everything would be fine has morphed into people wondering if summer 2021 […]

Sometimes a joke is a little too dark and too obscure for even Pixar, and this is the company that started off Up by cutting your heart out and laughing while you ugly cry. Or maybe not. There are some things that are a little much, and there was one joke, in particular, that was cut […]

When it comes to dealing with dark and deep themes and story points, Pixar is here to make you weep like a child. No one has caused more people to help than Pete Docter between just Inside Out and Up. With Soul there was a good chance that Pixar was going to explore some more deep and dark […]

Marvel is getting ready to kick off a truly insane 2021. We're getting four Marvel movies and six TV shows on Disney+, not to mention starting production on a bunch of movies and TV shows as well. One of the movies that are kicking off its production early in 2021 is Thor: Love and Thunder. […]

The box office is a fascinating thing to look into right now because there are so many different factors we need to consider when we look at numbers. Even in places where theaters are open, that doesn't mean all theaters are open or how many people they can let into each screening. It's like we've […]

No one knows how to roast you harder than little kids, and A-list actors are no different. Jamie Foxx is no stranger to animation, not by a longshot, but apparently, or at least according to his 11-year-old daughter; you haven't 'made it' until you've done a Pixar movie. Foxx is voicing Joe Gardner in the […]

People don't always understand that voice acting and in-person acting are two very different things, and just because someone can do one doesn't mean that they can do the other. That's why we sometimes get really awkward celebrity voice acting performances in movies. The ones that can do both tend to be amazing, and Jame […]

Tina Fey has been in the business forever, but there some things that even she is curious to see behind-the-scenes of. In the case of Soul and Fey being brought on to voice 22, a soul that doesn't want to go down to Earth to live, she was curious to see what the legendary Pixar […]

When it comes to diversity in animated movies, at least in Western animated movies, it tends to be a bit lacking, to say the least. There are countless stories about similar-looking white people, but when it comes to people and women of color on screen, their appearances tend to be regulated to the indie territory. […]

Star Wars fans feel more united than ever after the conclusion of the second season of The Mandalorian this past weekend. While, in my opinion, not quite as strong as season one, the show certainly dazzled fans and had all of our jaws on the floor in that excellent last episode. I am sure you […]

Another major movie has happened over at Disney in terms of its executives. Earlier this year, Bob Chapek took over as CEO of Disney from Bob Iger. To keep things working well, and was probably a good idea considering the pandemic really started to kick in a month later, Iger would stay around and be […]

The Beatles are going to be a subject of a far-reaching documentary being overseen by Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson, releasing in 2021. Disney will be releasing the doc in theaters next August, and it will feature footage of the band from over 60 hours of unseen footage with restored audio. The big selling point is […]

Soul is yet another homerun not just for director Pete Docter, who is almost scary good at this point, but also one of Pixar's best. Director: Pete Docter and Kemp Powers Summary:  A musician who has lost his passion for music is transported out of his body and must find his way back with the help […]

Thor: Love & Thunder is ramping up more and more these days, and the stars are letting loose with what they are doing in the film. We already know Thor will return, Valkyrie will have a huge role, and Natalie Portman will return as Jane Foster and probably become Lady Thor. We also know for […]

In August 2019, word came down from the rumor mill that Gemma Chan was in talks to join the cast of Eternals, and everyone raised a collective eyebrow. Chan had just appeared in a Marvel movie mere months before in Captain Marvel, and her character died. We already knew that Eternals was going to span thousands of years, so […]

Disney had their Investor Day yesterday. Now the internet is in the middle of the "Disney is ruining things forever" and "let people enjoy things" debate, which has made Twitter pretty much more unreadable than usual. We got a lot of new titles and other things yesterday, and today Disney sent out a press release […]

The Disney Investor Day had so many announcements that we're still trying to make our way through all of them. Lucasfilm and Kathleen Kennedy came out and proceeded to make so many announcements that the writers at Bleeding Cool had no possible way of keeping up. We got all of the big releases out of the […]
