But Disney’s live-action/CGI Lilo and Stitch feature will hit theaters next summer.

If Rachel Zegler’s live-action Snow White wasn’t so busy humming and whistling while she worked in the film’s new trailer, she might notice that Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen is clearly trying to poison her.

Even though Marvel’s Agatha All Along Disney Plus series is going to be something of a comedy, its latest trailer is big on witchy vibes that’ll be perfect for its September 18th two-episode premiere.

We knew Disney Plus’ new Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series (out December 3rd) would feature Jude Law as clever Force user, but the show’s first trailer is all about the kids getting into Goonies-style space mischief.

Disney chief creative officer and Frozen co-director Jennifer Lee took to the stage at this year’s D23 to announce that the Frozen 3 will debut some time in 2027, and be followed up by a subsequent film.

After spending two films knocking around Riley’s waking mind, Disney is taking the Inside Out franchise in a new direction with Dream Productions. It’s a Disney Plus series (out next year) about how dreams are kinda sorta like movies.

Disney kicked off its big Entertainment Showcase at this year’s D23 with a new Moana 2 trailer that reveals more about how its titular wayfinder will set sail to reconnect the islands across Oceania.

A multiverse kinda feels like the last thing Star Wars needs right now, but the first trailer for Disney Plus’ LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy mini(fig)series actually makes its premise seem like the rare modern Luke Skywalker story that might liven up the franchise when it premieres on September 13th.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga only hit theaters a few months ago, but Warner Bros. announced today that the film is already making its way to Max next week on August 16th.

The layoffs, which affect around 2,000 workers, come as Paramount looks to cut costs ahead of its merger with Skydance. In its earnings report today, Paramount also revealed a $5.98 billion write-down on its legacy networks — similar to Warner Bros. Discovery.

That’s what Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence told Collider when asked about what’s next for the series following its season 3 finale:

Whatever Jason [Sudeikis] feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it… Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children... As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.

Visit the “Disney Horizons Live from D23” island in Fortnite (island code 7908-6413-2516) at 11:30PM ET on August 10th to catch the show. If you miss it live, the in-game island will be available until August 16th, where the presentation will be on a loop.

That’s what WBD CEO David Zaslav said during an earnings call on Wednesday, referencing the company’s $9.1 billion goodwill impairment charge linked to the value of its legacy TV networks and “uncertainty” about sports rights now that the NBA is headed to streaming:

It’s fair to say that even two years ago, market valuations and prevailing conditions for legacy media companies were quite different than they are today, and this impairment acknowledges this and better aligns our carrying values with our future outlook.

A journalist discovers a novel in which she appears to be the main character and all of her dark secrets are laid bare. The first trailer for the Apple TV Plus series based on Renée Knight’s book doesn’t spell out what those secrets are, but hopefully it’s better than the last time Apple tried a similar concept.

After Disney agreed to buy Comcast’s 33 percent stake in Hulu with an initial payment of $8.6 billion, the two companies entered arbitration to determine Hulu’s fair value. Now, Disney says in an SEC filing that it could end up paying up to $5 billion depending on the outcome of arbitration.

The Financial Times reported last month that WBD execs considered splitting its streaming and studio business from its struggling TV networks. But now, execs have determined this may not be “the best option at this time,” according to the FT.

Instead, WBD reportedly plans on selling smaller assets, such as the Polish broadcaster TVN or a stake in its game’s business.

A new environment in the Paramount Plus app for the Apple Vision Pro transforms your surroundings into Bikini Bottom, complete with SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward’s homes. If you decide to watch SpongeBob in the environment, SpongeBob himself will join you with a bowl of popcorn.

While the platform currently cuts away from live content to display video ads, YouTube is now experimenting with live mid-rolls that will instead launch and run alongside the broadcast in Picture-in-Picture mode.

That should be less disruptive for viewers, and may also dissuade them from installing adblockers to avoid paying for YouTube’s ad-free premium service — something YouTube has been cracking down on.

The latest tvOS 18 beta enables Apple TV devices to share external links with nearby iPhones or iPads — getting around Apple TV’s lack of a web browser.

At the moment, the feature is only working with promotions for Apple’s Vision Pro, but 9to5Mac notes it should expand to allow users to share other content from their Apple TV right from the tvOS app.

In the Apple Vision Pro, that is. Disney Plus has rolled out a National Geographic edition virtual environment for its visionOS app that lets you watch movies in a snowy corridor in Iceland’s Thingvellir National Park.

The environment uses “3D models captured on-site using photogrammetry,” according to Disney’s announcement. When you watch a movie, it turns dark and shows you the Northern Lights!

Even though you can’t see Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise in this new teaser for HBO’s It prequel series Welcome to Derry, it’s pretty obvious the clown’s going to be up to his regular, degular demonic tricks when he makes his small screen debut.

It’ll be a while before before House of the Dragon is back for a third season, but HBO’s forthcoming A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms spin-off series looks like it’ll keep Game of Thrones fans fed when it premieres next year.

Season two of HBO’s The Last of Us Adaptation will see Catherine O’Hara join the cast as someone very keen on seeing Ellie alive and well. And it looks like Joel’s going to move hell and high water to keep the girl safe in this new preview from the show’s next chapter.
