An “Eragon” live-action TV series is in early development at Disney+, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The series would be based on the Christopher Paolini young adult novel series “The Inheritance Cycle,” with “Eragon” being the first of the four books in that series.

According to sources, Paolini will serve as co-writer on the series. Bert Salke will executive produce under his Co-Lab 21 banner, with 20th Television producing. Salke is currently under an overall deal with Disney Television Studios, of which 20th TV is a part.

Reps for Disney and Paolini did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

“The Inheritance Cycle” tells the story of a farmboy named Eragon who discovers an egg that hatches into a dragon he names Saphira. Through their bond and the help of his mentor Brom, Eragon learns to be a Dragon Rider, an ancient order that had long been thought to be wiped out by the evil king Galbatorix. Eragon and Saphira set out to defeat Galbatorix and free the land of Alagaësia from his tyranny.

“Eragon” was first self-published in 2002 before it was republished by Knopf in 2003. It was followed by “Eldest” in 2005, “Brisingr” in 2008, and “Inheritance” in 2011. The whole series has proven to be incredibly popular, with over 41 million copies sold worldwide.

Should the project move forward, it would not be first time that “Eragon” has been adapted for the screen. The book was previously adapted into a film of the same name in 2006 with Ed Speleers as Eragon, Rachel Weisz as the voice of Saphira, Jeremy Irons as Brom, and John Malkovich as Galbatorix. The film was widely panned by critics upon its release and grossed approximately $250 million at the worldwide box office against a reported budget of $100 million. In 2021, fans of the books began using the hashtag #EragonRemake in an effort to get Disney to produce a series version given their disappointment with the film.

“Eragon” would also be the latest high-profile YA novel series to get adapted into a Disney+ series. The streamer is currently working on a series version of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books starring Walker Scobell in the lead role.

Paolini is repped by WME and Writers House.

Note: An earlier version of the story stated Paolini would be co-showrunner on the series, but it is now understood that the project is in such early stages that no such decision has been made officially.

According to John Musker, why does Disney rely on live-action remakes rather than producing new stories?

How does Peter Pan and Wendy enhance inclusivity?

How has Disney leveraged nostalgia in recent years?

By turning classic animations into live-action films with major stars

"It’s not enough to ask if the film [is] entertaining and well executed."

Title:

Content: It’s possible that being an only child was one reason I was not exposed to the phenomenon of Disney princess worship during my youth. On the other hand, the lack of a coordinated merchandising effort during the 1970s probably had much more to do with the fact that the company’s princess lineup wasn’t yet emerging as a cultural trend.

In that decade, Disney focused most of its marketing on the so-called “Sensational Six” core characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Daisy Duck; along with product tie-ins to the 1977’s “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.”

Of course, Disney had only made three princess movies up to that time. Those included 1937’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” 1950’s “Cinderella,” and 1959’s “Sleeping Beauty.” Following the introduction of Aurora in 1959, Disney would make moviegoers wait 30 years for the next princess to arrive in a film that would herald the start of the Disney Renaissance.

And that film was 1989’s “The Little Mermaid.”

Written and directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, the 28th Disney animated feature film was very loosely based on the 1837 Danish fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. It boasted a string of memorable songs that brought imbued the production with Broadway panache. Alan Menken wrote the score, and collaborated with Howard Ashman on the songs. The film scored three Academy Award nominations, winning two for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for “Under the Sea.”

The animated film featured the voices of Jodi Benson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Pat Carroll, Samuel E. Wright, Jason Marin, Kenneth Mars, and Buddy Hackett.

Buoyed by the success of “The Little Mermaid,” the Disney Renaissance ran from the late 1980s to the late 1990s and unleashed a series of critically and commercially successful animated films. Of the 10 films considered part of this period, five were Disney princess films. By 2000, the list of Disney princess included Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Andy Mooney, a former Nike executive who had been named president of Walt Disney Company's Disney Consumer Products division, saw an opportunity. He pitched the Disney Princess franchise line — and a generation of children became entranced consumers.

More than 20 years have gone by since the end of the Disney Renaissance and the official launch of Disney’s Princess Line. These days, Walt Disney Pictures is focused on making live-action adaptations of its animated films. The latest of these is “The Little Mermaid,” directed by Rob Marshall from a screenplay written by David Magee. The film was released theatrically on May 26.

When evaluating a remake, adaptation, or reinterpretation of a classic film, one must consider not only the quality of the new film, but also how it compares to the original. It’s not enough to ask if the film entertaining and well executed. One must also determine what makes the remake valuable in its own right.

“The Little Mermaid” is set in the 1830s in the Caribbean. Ariel (Halle Bailey), youngest child of King Triton (Javier Bardem), lives in an underwater kingdom. Disney wisely mentions in its synopsis of the film that Ariel is 18 years old — not 16, as she was in the animated version.

Unlike her older sisters, Ariel is defiant and rebellious. She is captivated by a world beyond her reach, defying her father’s orders to study humans and collect their possessions from shipwrecks. She is often joined in this endeavor by her aquatic companions Flounder and Sebastian (voiced by Jacob Tremblay and Daveed Diggs, respectively); as well as by the birdbrained Scuttle (voiced by Awkwafina), a seabird whose understanding of human culture is amusingly erroneous.

When a sailing ship she has been watching is destroyed in a storm, she rescues Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King). When Triton learns Ariel interacted with the surface world, he goes on an overprotective father rampage, destroying her collection of bric-a-bracs, baubles, and curios while reiterating his mandate that she should not indulge her inclination to learn, explore, or meet new people. Ironically, Prince Eric’s adoptive mother, Queen Salina (Noma Dumezweni) places similar constraints upon him because she is fearful of the outside world and of losing her son.

Desperate to be reunited with Prince Eric — who she is in love with despite the fact that the two haven’t even actually met at this point — Ariel turns to Triton’s evil sister Ursula (Melissa McCarthy), a scheming sea witch who sees this as an opportunity to oust Triton and take power over all the world’s oceans. Ursula strikes a deal with Ariel, giving her legs in exchange for her voice. There’s a catch: If Ariel fails to receive true love’s kiss from Eric before the end of three days, she will become Ursula’s property. To make sure Ariel fails, Ursula also causes her to forget about needing to score that kiss.

That’s just the setup. If it seems a bit drawn out, imagine how it feels watching it on the screen. With a runtime of 2 hours and 15 minutes — 53 minutes longer than the 1989 animated version — it sometimes feels like we’re treading water. One wonders if, in a post-pandemic world filled with ADHD brains, kids can manage to maintain focus on this narrative that meanders its way from scene to scene without a sense of urgency. Sebastian and Flounder know that there is a looming deadline, but in this version of the story, Ariel has been robbed of that knowledge. In the animated version, she at least had a specific objective. She actively worked toward that goal. In this version, she is a starry-eyed young woman crushing on someone she barely knows, drifting dreamily between infatuation and limerence.

Because it is both a retelling of a classic fairy tale and a redesign of a beloved Disney property, the film suffers from a pronounced scarcity of creativity and originality. There are updates to the story, changes in individual characters, and a few additional songs. Some of these facelifts work, such as the addition of Queen Salina. Some of these addendum fall flat, such as Eric’s song “Wild Uncharted Waters,” written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Miranda’s song “The Scuttlebutt,” performed by Awkwafina and Diggs, is a more palatable add-on, despite that fact that it is jarringly different tonally from other music in the film.

All the film’s flaws and miscalculations can be forgiven by its most impressive saving grace: Bailey’s performance is as remarkable as it is enchanting. Bailey stands out again and again in the murky, sketchy CGI undersea sequences, glowing with charisma and agency. She brings the magic that is noticeably lacking in elsewhere in the film, balancing the nostalgia of childhood memories with a contemporary attitude. She carries this film on her shoulders, filling it with a sense of wonder and awe that will inspire children to seek out unexplored horizons and work toward achieving their dreams.

Mind you: I’d prefer Ariel did not have to literally transform — for a man — to be deemed successful. This version somewhat mitigates that theme. Personal transformation is fine when prompted by a desire to become a better person, while self-change enacted strictly to please an individual or a group is unwise and unhealthy.

The film also features recurring examples — both subtle and palpable — that show gender equity, diversity, and inclusivity are beneficial to society. These are the very same principled concepts extremist legislators and ultraconservative judicial officials currently vilify as “woke,” as if being socially aware, compassionate, and empathetic has somehow become objectionable. If you ascribe to that mindset, you should probably skip this movie.

The bottom line is “The Little Mermaid” may not be as artistically inspired as the animated version, but a standout performance by Bailey keeps the film afloat. It frequently captures the kinetic energy of a Broadway stage production, delighting audiences both with signature songs and newly added sequences that enhance the story and the characters. It is consistently entertaining, with sporadic moments of dazzling brilliance.

If you don’t trust an old curmudgeon to properly evaluate a Disney Princess film, I’ll share a few points my 16-year-old daughter made.

According to B.C. Zumpe, the film’s CGI could have been better. She particularly enjoyed a scene in which Ariel and Eric are dancing in a village near his castle, while a Caribbean band plays.

“Some people want all the characters to look exactly like the originals,” she said. “It wouldn’t be fair if Disney excluded Halle just because of her skin color. They chose her for her voice and her spirit. Even if you’re only upset because she looks different from the Ariel you grew up with, you can’t expect them to keep everything the way you want it.”

My daughter also felt that Awkwafina did a good job in voicing Scuttle. She appreciated how the film promoted the idea that it is good to interact with other cultures and be open to new ideas.

She’s a good kid.

Content: Shang-Chi Director Sticks With Disney For Action-Comedy Series American Born Chinese

In an ideal world, talented up-and-coming filmmakers who have caught the attention of major blockbuster franchises would then take advantage of the boost in publicity afterwards to work on various intimate projects that are near and dear to their hearts — as opposed to simply remaining in the blockbuster cycle for the foreseeable future. Lately, however, there's been a pervasive narrative out there that these directors don't actually seem to follow this trajectory in the same way that names like Christopher Nolan or Taika Waititi did. They're the exceptions rather than the rule, the idea goes. For one recent example, James Gunn has worked on superhero properties almost exclusively since getting his big break with Marvel in 2014 and, well, that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon.

"Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" director Destin Daniel Cretton is looking to reverse that trend, however, as the news comes down that he's set to direct a new Disney+ series that focuses on cultural issues as they relate to the immigrant experience.

American Born Chinese

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Destin Daniel Cretton's next project after bringing some much-needed diversity to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" will be a series adaptation of a graphic novel titled "American Born Chinese." Disney+ has already given the green light for a straight-to-series order from co-creators (and sibling creative team) Kelvin Yu and Charles Yu. Kelvin Yu has worked as a writer, story editor, and co-executive producer on "Bob's Burgers" and has also acted in numerous films, ranging from appearances in "Felicity" and "Frasier" to roles in "Cloverfield" and "Master of None." Charles Yu served as co-producer on "Legion," producer on "Sorry for Your Loss," and has been a writer and story editor on "Westworld." Kelvin will be showrunner on this new project.

President of Disney Branded Television, Ayo Davis, said the following in a statement:

"We are delighted to continue our relationship with [executive producers] Melvin Mar and Jake Kasdan and thrilled that Destin Daniel Cretton is set to direct. The team are visionaries in bringing character-driven adventures to life, and we cannot wait for our audience to experience this fantastically memorable and imaginative adaptation of the graphic novel. This is a great universal story that moves between worlds and explores the impact of culture, identity, and acceptance through the lens of adolescence."

The "American Born Chinese" graphic novel follows the character of Jin Wang, who is described as "a teenager juggling his high school social life and immigrant home life. When he meets a new foreign student on the first day of the school year, even more worlds collide as Jin is unwittingly entangled in a battle of Chinese mythological gods." The heightened and fantastical-sounding story should provide plenty of opportunity for exploration into matters of culture and assimilation, as Cretton in particular has proven to be quite adept at. He released a statement on the project as well, saying:

"Reading Kelvin's riveting adaptation of Gene's incredible novel had me laughing and crying and jumping out of my chair on every page. I feel deeply connected to the characters in this story and the brilliant team bringing it to life. This show is going to be unlike anything we've experienced on TV, and I can't wait for the world to see what we're cooking up."

For those looking for more information on the graphic novel, the novel appears to be well worth checking out.

What does Disney's reliance on sequels and spin-offs instead of new IP suggest about its creativity?

A stalling of the company's creative engine.

Title:

Content: A few years ago, the brutal Galactic Empire fell.
But its governors and generals only lurked in anticipation of revenge.
And it won't be long to wait.
A group of imperial loyalists have discovered an ancient route leading beyond the known galaxy to where Thrawn, the Empire ’ s greatest general, is in exile.
To prevent his return and a new war, Jedi Ahsoka Tano, along with his Mandalorian pupil Sabine Ren, go in pursuit of the villains...
In the next series...
Ahsoka
Genre: space fantasy
Showrunner: Dave Filoni
Cast: Rosario Dawson, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ray Stevenson, Diana Lee Inosanto, Lars Mikkelsen
Duration: 8 episodes, 37 – 57 minutes each
Premiere: August 22 – October 3, 2023, Disney +
Similar to “The Mandalorian, ”“ Rebels, ” “Willow. ”
The main thing to remember before getting acquainted with “Asoka ”: this is not an independent series.
Over the past six months, Lucasfilm has finally declassified plans for the future of the Star Wars universe, apparently drawing on colleagues from the Marvel franchise.
In this logic, the third season of “Mandalorian ” brought a spectacular line under the first phase of the story, and“ Ahsoka ”, therefore, opens the next chapter, represents the new composition of the heroes and the main villain of the so-called “Mandovers ”.
The culmination of the project is a full-length crossover from Dave Filoni, showrunner of "Asoka" and one of the main architects of the universe.
And although almost nothing is known about his film now (including the date of the premiere and the composition of the participants), avid ZV-fans quite clearly considered the hints.
It seems that we are waiting for an adaptation of “The Heir of the Empire ”, the epochal novel by Timothy Zahn, who in 1991 revived interest in the franchise and first introduced readers to the brilliant blue-eyed strategist Mitt ’ rau ’ nuruodo; for enemies, it ’ s just Thrawn.
"The Heir" and its two sequels ("Trilogy of Thrawn") won such good fame that for a long time they were considered the main official sequels of "Star Wars".
And it is not surprising that many old fans took bayonets to restart the universe for the sake of a new trilogy.
Trawn, however, did not disappear for long.
In 2016, Filoni returned the admiral to the canon in the third season of the animated series Rebels.
Timothy Zan even gave this version of the character his blessing - in exchange for the right to write about him six more prequel books.
And even more: it is unlikely that the master will miss the opportunity to show how Thrawn spent exile in an alien galaxy.
Now, one of the most famous and colorful villains in the history of Star Wars has targeted the big screens.
Of course, the literal adaptation of the “Heir of the Empire ” is not a question.
Too much has changed in 30 years, both inside the universe and behind the scenes.
At least Filoni will have to decide something with the heroes of the original trilogy.
It is unlikely that Luke Skywalker teammates will miss the fight with Thrawn, but the whole film to hide the actors (those of them who are still alive) behind the “rejuvenating ” digital makeup will not come out - as the recent Indiana Jones showed, the result is clearly not worth it.
So, not to avoid recast and related problems...
But that ’ s tomorrow ’ s problem.
Today, the return of Thrawn is the main plot engine of Asoka, and the series openly declares itself as a prequel to the future film.
Of course, together with the villain, the entire surviving composition of the Rebels moved here, and Asoka Tano herself has already experienced many adventures in the animated series.
Moreover, according to rumors, Filoni originally developed this story for the animated series, but halfway canceled the project when Mandovers began to take on a specific form.
So, the main task of “Asoka ” is not to continue“ Rebels ”, but to re-introduce their animated characters to the audience of the upcoming crossover.
The series is very friendly to beginners: acquaintance with “Rebels ” or“ Clone Wars ” is welcome, but not necessary.
In fact, the only thing you need to know before watching is that Ahsoka was a student of Anakin Skywalker between the second and third episodes of Star Wars.
The rest of the context becomes clear as the story progresses, though not immediately.
Filoni, a native of television dramaturgy, used to play for a long time.
He tries to avoid frontal flashbacks and explanations, instead enveloping them with a flurry of mysticism and silence.
Even scenes recreating Clone Wars (for the first time with live actors!) are shown as a shaky, subjective dream.
Is it worth believing these events and how exactly to interpret them?
Decide for yourself, based on other hints in the course of the series.
Hint: the “final ” explanation of the conflict between Asoka and Sabine does not fit very well with the visions of the heroine from the fifth series – and this is not for nothing.
It is clear that this approach will infuriate many viewers.
But at the same time, Filoni stirs up the imagination, spurs curiosity.
Reminds me that beyond the framework of a single series there is a whole universe of Star Wars, full of tempting stories.
And for almost half a century of its existence, it has not yet exhausted itself.
So where's the rush?
Brotherhood of the Hyperdimensional Ring
The atmosphere of mystery seems all the more appropriate, if we recall the genre of the series.
Last year ’ s “Andor ” kept as mundane as possible and, it seems, completely ignored the mystical aspects of the universe, but“ Ahsoka ” is a full-fledged cosmic fantasy.
All sources of inspiration in plain sight: “Princess Mononoke ”,“ Chronicles of Narnia ” and, of course, “The Lord of the Rings ”.
During the season, Ahsoka even cosplays Gandalf, dressed in white clothes after a spiritual rebirth.
Star Wars by Dave Filoni is a world of ancient ruins and gloomy forests, sinister castles and omnipotent witches, undead fighting and ghostly knights.
Heroes are inextricably linked with wildlife: in the fight against evil, all sorts of wolves, cats and star whales help them every now and then.
And between life and death there is some other, incomprehensible reality beyond space and time.
If you listen closely, its echoes can be discerned in the sound of the surf.
What a fantasy!
Dialogues and acting are also designed in an old-fashioned fairy-tale style.
The backs are straight, look beyond the horizon, less emotions, more pauses and understatement.
This does not mean that there is no human warmth or good jokes in the script at all (“When you become a general, you can also break orders, ” says Hera Sindulla, an ally of Asoka from the New Republic Navy), but still the mood of the series is leisurely and solemn.
All the central characters in Asoka are somehow connected to the Force — even those who have not previously shown such inclinations.
For example, the despotic official Morgan Elsbeth from the second season of “The Mandalorian ” suddenly turns out to be the heir to the witchcraft clan of the Night Sisters.
And the pragmatist Thrawn, whose collapse in the Rebels was due to the Force, a phenomenon beyond his comprehension, is now hedging his bets and reassuring his plans to three clairvoyant witches.
In addition to the obvious reference to Macbeth, here you can see the paraphrases of the “Heir of the Empire ”: in the books, Thrawn was forced to cooperate with the insane dark Jedi S ’ waof.
The Force is most interesting in the young Sabine Ren, who can be called the second main character of the series.
At first, her apprenticeship with Asoka seems far-fetched.
There are too few prerequisites for this, even taking into account the "Rebels", where Sabine mastered the possession of the Mandalorian lightsaber under the command of Jedi friends.
But, firstly, the characters complement each other well: two emotionally closed girls, each of whom in its own way copes with the accumulated load of injuries - one through rebellion, the other through stoicism.
Secondly, the story of Sabine violates the usual canons of Star Wars.
Usually, viewers are shown the adventures of selected prodigies, the Power in which is so great that they can not cope with it.
Now we see how the most ordinary person gradually acquires minimal, but no less miraculous abilities.
And this, in turn, returns the understanding of the Force to the original vision of George Lucas of the late 1970s: everyone can become a “cosmic wizard ” with due diligence, discipline and faith.
Paradox: the more the prequels and especially the video games showed the capabilities of the Jedi, the more mediocre the Force looked — just as a set of skills that are pumped with experience (hence the claims to Maryuschnost Rey in episodes VII – IX).
Philoni returns to the Force a mystical, almost divine dimension.
It really lives everywhere and manifests itself in different ways in the world.
It can be heard by a mother who trusts her son unconditionally, or a girl who is ready to risk the fate of the entire galaxy for the sake of saving a friend.
The main thing is, according to the glorious Buddhist tradition, to renounce the ego and find your place in the universe.
Philoni ’ s esoteric quest, however, does not stifle his inner child.
If every hero of the series can hold a lightsaber, then there will be more spectacular fights!
And indeed, action in “Asoka ” more than in any other series on“ Star wars ”.
The battles are staged technically and beautifully, albeit without much dramatic intensity.
Fans of the prequel trilogy will certainly feel at home; those who are used to the emotionally charged choreography of new films or Obi-Wan Kenobi are at risk of getting bored.
In battles, one way or another, the character of the characters is manifested.
For example, Ahsoka bets on speed, Sabine combines the sword with the usual blasters, and the dark Jedi Baylon (the bright role of the suddenly deceased Ray Stevenson) takes brute force.
That's just Filoni almost does not use the action for the development of heroes, the battles are as if parallel to the story.
It may even seem that their main task is to slow down the progress of Asoka and Sabin in the script.
And often it really is!
A student becomes a teacher
Despite all the mysteries, innuendo and mysticism, the plot of "Asoka" is quite simple.
It ’ s too easy for eight episodes.
The straightforwardness of the script would be envied by many video games: the characters consistently move towards the same goal, facing increasingly powerful bosses along the way.
Without special surprises, insurmountable obstacles and unnecessary secondary characters.
Against the background of the complex multi-figure stories of “Mandalorian ”,“ Andor ” and even “The Defective Party ”, Filoni ’ s new project looks unexpectedly chamber – although, it would seem, we are talking about a journey to another galaxy.
Not that there are no large-scale episodes in Asoka (shootings in space are in no way inferior to similar scenes from the films), but the structure of the season itself is more sharpened under the full-length format.
Filoni seems to rehearse before going to a big movie - and at the same time shows his skills to his superiors.
And in fact, he will not refuse professional growth.
In just 15 years, he went from the television “padawan ” of George Lucas to the creative head of the studio.
From the unsightly pilot of The Clone Wars to the grand finale of The Rebels; from the first cautious episodes of The Mandalorian to the controversial but entertaining experiment with the rejuvenated Luke Skywalker in Bob Fett ’ s Book.
And in Asoka, as a director, he owns perhaps the most memorable episode of the series - the scene of the migration of space whales, full of genuine magic and pathos.
Last but not least, Filoni ’ s experience in animation helps him work with Lucasfilm ’ s main asset, the StageCraft digital miracle pavilion, which is a challenge for filmmakers like Deborah Chow (Obi-Wan Kenobi) or Taiki Waititi (Thor: Love and Thunder).
And in general, "Asoka" regularly impresses with a thoughtful visual range.
For example, the locations in which the heroine feels confident are designed in shades of orange and silver - the colors of her skin; that is, Ahsoka literally harmonizes with the environment.
Finally, in favor of Filoni says his ability to comprehend and rethink the established material of Star Wars.
This applies to both the above changes in the interpretation of the Force, and the almost impeccable adaptation of the animated characters of the Rebels to a live movie - only too bright lenses are striking (sorry for the pun).
And the director shows the greatest audacity in flashback visions of the Clone War.
Focusing on the fragile figure of Asoka the teenager, Filoni emphasizes all the horror and immorality of the conflict, turning inside out the frivolous mood of his old animated series.
So now there is no doubt: Dave Filoni is ready to jump on the big screen, whenever this jerk happens.
Another thing is that the director himself seems to be in no hurry with the culmination.
Although Asoku has not yet had time to renew for a second season (Hollywood is still waiting for the end of mass strikes), the final leaves a lot of material for the continuation and possible echoes with “Minimum Crew ” – the next big TV series, also created under the supervision of Filoni.
But will the showrunner have a choice?
The multi-phase plan of Mandovers was formalized even under the old Disney administration, which firmly believed in the success of streaming services.
Recently, this belief has been shaken, a wave of layoffs swept through the company (about 7,000 people were fired!), and Bob Iger again took the chair of the head, who has already announced a course for the return of Star Wars to theaters.
It is likely that Filoni will want to force the film; but, as Asoka shows, this approach is unnatural for him.
Of course, a lot of time has passed since the trilogy of sequels, and the audience probably managed to miss Star Wars in the cinema.
However, this franchise does not like haste.
The secret to its success is its longevity.
In stories that continue endlessly and pass from generation to generation, both among the audience and behind the scenes.
A galaxy far, far away is like a puzzle: looking at a finished picture is not as interesting as collecting scattered pieces for years into a single whole.
Preferably for company with friends and family.
Asoka is a leisurely series, but spectacular and intriguing; even if its intrigue requires patience and attention from fans.
This is not so much a continuation of the old animated series as a prologue to the next big chapter of Star Wars.
And, judging by the skill of showrunner Dave Filoni, he is more than anyone else able to pave a course for the legendary franchise to new horizons.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings set a record for Labor Day box office (this year on September 6) in the United States and Canada.
In the four days since Friday, September 3, it raised $90 million, although it was expected that the fees will be at the level of $45 – 50 million, writes the online edition Seeking Alpha.
The surge in box office receipts was a long-awaited news for investors: the shares of cinemas went into growth.
On September 7, AMC prices soared by 8.7%, Cineplex - by 5.1%, IMAX - by 3.3%, Cinemark - by 3.9%.
In Russia, the premiere took place on September 2, for two weeks the fees exceeded $3.3 million.
Shan-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is Marvel ’ s first Asian superhero film.
It was directed by Destin Cretton, whose mother is Japanese American, and the script was written by Dave Callaham, who has both parents of Chinese descent.
Shan-Chi appeared in print Marvel comics back in the 1970s and was the son of villain Fu Manchu.
In those years, the West swept the fashion of kung fu, and the first Shan-Chi was similar to Bruce Lee to a degree of confusion.
In the story of paper comics, Shan-Chi first helped to malign his father, then came to his senses and began to fight against him.
In those years, China was the enemy of the United States as a communist power.
Then he became a trade competitor.
And now it has turned into a large and important film market with its own specifics.
For example, as soon as the actor of “Fast and Furious 9 ” John Cena mentioned and called Taiwan a“ country ”, a storm of indignation arose in China and the fees of the film fell sharply.
Marvel doesn ’ t seem to forget that.
Paper comics of the 1970s were the quintessence of American stereotypes about Asians.
“I don ’ t believe it was done maliciously, ” Callagham told The Nerds of Color,“ It ’ s just that there was a very different era of comics created by two white men about Asian people.
It does not reflect the reality in which we now live <... > And it is necessary to give them credit, Marvel understood it.
So they invited us [with Cratton] to do what we want. ”
They not only added typical Asian features like the fact that, unlike paper comics, the characters finally began to undress before entering the house.
They made the flat book villain more multifaceted in the film.
“This is a broken man who has done a lot in his very long life and desperately wants to believe that he can bring everything back, it ’ s very human, ” Callaham told The Hollywood Reporter. – But we still needed him to look like the head of a giant terrorist organization that <... > torments people in their dungeons and all that.
Finding that balance was not easy. ”
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Monkey friends
Callaham was born on October 24, 1977 in Fresno, California, to Chinese Americans.
As a child, he pretended that he was no different from the white-faced kids in the neighborhood.
“I thought it wasn ’ t cool to be [Chinese], ” he told The Nerds of Color.
David didn ’ t go to study English at the University of Michigan because he liked literature.
Everything else attracted him even less.
“By the end of my training [in 1999], my best friend and I still didn ’ t know what we wanted to do, ” he admitted (here and then quotes from the website of the Hollywood consulting agency Fresh Voices).
They caught the eye of an article in Penthouse, how cool the writers live in Hollywood: “It had pictures of absolute nerds in the Jacuzzi in the penthouse. ”
So, as soon as they got their diplomas, the friends went to conquer Los Angeles.
They even co-wrote a script called Los Angeles Zoo.
Something similar to “Friends ”, and the highlight was that the two main characters were played by … monkeys, who were mistaken for ordinary people.
The authors did not hide that they borrowed the idea from the old series Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp, which aired on ABC in 1970-1971: about a spy monkey and his human partner.
Callaham and a friend quickly realized that selling such a script would not be easy.
They moved on to more mundane topics.
For example, they wrote scripts for two episodes of “Friends ”.
Then a comedy in the style of the then popular film “American Pie ”.
Alas, they received refusal after refusal from the studios.
To earn money, both got a job in a company producing dog food.
Then the friend got engaged, finally broke up with the dream of becoming a screenwriter and went to the bride in Michigan.
And Callaham continued to write alone and got a job as an assistant in a law firm: they paid more.
Callahama ’ s girlfriend turned out to be an acquaintance who worked for the CAA (Creative Artists Agency).
She gave him an interview.
He decided to try to work in the CAA, as they also selected actors and writers for Hollywood.
“I was told it would be a terrible job, I would be mistreated and paid less for it than [at the law firm], ” Callham recalled.
For about a year, Callham replaced various assistants who fell ill and were unable to go to work.
Then he settled in with producer Craig Goering's crew.
He was promised that he would gather the contacts of many famous people in the industry and get access to a large number of materials, from scripts to specifications.
And it turned out to be true.
At one time, Callaham ’ s workplace was near the office of CAA President Richard Lovett.
When everyone was leaving for lunch, Callagham copied documents from his desk and read them at night.
Among others, there were secret ones: scripts that the studios secretly sent to Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise for consideration, correspondence with the authors about changes in the text and plot, and much more.
“I stole scripts from the tables and read them – and that ’ s how I learned to write, ” Callagham once told The Hollywood Reporter.
“I realized that most writers are guys who can be pretty good or not very good, but the main thing is that they are motivated and work hard, ” he summed up in an interview with Fresh Voices. – I saw the profession of a writer from the point of view of the buyer. <... > And importantly, I found that in most cases, the script is read first, like me, the assistant.
If you can't conquer it, the producer will never see your script.
So my goal is always to write a good first act <... > So that on the fifth page you will be interested in reading everything else. "
Tribute to the Apocalypse
He managed to work for Goering for eight months when he realized that he was tired of the CAA.
His next job was the production company Deep River Productions.
At the same time he continued writing.
First, he created a drama from the life of college students “My Generation ”.
He was, in his own words, pretentious.
Then a drama about the afterlife called "Koda".
She turned out to be absolutely terrible.
Then he wrote a comedy.
And it was liked by the people Callaham gave it to read.
The point is that the guy invents teleportation to get into the apartment of his beloved, living on the other side of the country.
They never saw each other: their romance began by correspondence and phone.
But the teleport was wrong.
Callahan's hero is stuck inside the wall.
Even though the girl was now not hundreds of miles, but a few centimeters, he still could not see and touch her.
By that time, Callaham himself had been dating his girlfriend for six years.
But she had to move to another city – why the idea of the script came up.
And then she dumped him.
And Callaham, abandoning the comedy, sat down to write a gloomy thriller to spill out his feelings.
He came up with the story of the detective whose wife died.
Immersed in his grief, he becomes more and more distant from his sons, and the only joy is work.
He relentlessly catches a killer maniac decorating a crime scene in accordance with the prophecy of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse.
“I would come home from work, drink, and then start writing.
“I had candles all over the room, I turned off all the lights, I listened to music and hung pictures of crying people and photos of corpses from movies. ”
It cost him a couple of times.
He brought home a new girl, she glanced at the photos and flew out of the apartment with a bullet.
In 2002, Callahum completed a script called Horsemen and sent it to everyone he had gathered while working for the CAA.
“Until now, people in the film industry tell me that they remember reading The Horsemen, ” he laughs.
As a result, talent manager Gaimon Cassidy became interested in the work.
He had just sold 20th Century Fox David Benioff ’ s psychological thriller Stay (2005) and was looking for a new author.
However, he honestly warned: to sell such a complex and gloomy scenario will not be easy.
And I got Callahan to rewrite.
Callaham doesn't like to rewrite.
One of his colleagues gives the script to lie down, and then, having a fresh look, refines it.
Callahan works differently.
Having put the last point, immediately hands over the script and, if it were his will, would leave it in its original form. But alas.
Almost every time he receives comments and corrections from the studio.
“If you throw a tantrum, you will earn a reputation as a difficult person.
And as soon as you get that reputation, there will be a million other aspiring writers in your place, ” he says. – The biggest problem, I think, is sometimes overcoming your pride.
Understand that this is not just my scenario, but someone ’ s investment.
So I have to do what they want.
I don ’ t always do that well. ”
The "Horsemen" script was eventually liked by Platinum Dunes.
It was founded just a year ago, in 2001, and just launched its first film – a remake of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre ” (the first“ Massacre ” was released in 1974).
But the studio wanted to produce original content, and the creation of Callahama seemed appropriate to them.
However, they released "Horsemen" only in 2009.
$20 million was spent on shooting, and the film collected 8 times less.
And Platinum Dunes for a long time earned mainly on the remakes of “Friday, 13 ”,“ Nightmare on Elm Street ”, “Ninja Turtles ”.
Horsemen / Platinum Dunes
How to defeat Stallone
In the same year 2009, another film based on the script of Callaham was released – “Tell-Tale ” (Tell-Tale) produced by the film company Social Capital Films.
It is based on the story of the same name by Edgar Poe.
The main character transplanted the heart of a murdered person, and he begins to see pictures from his past life.
That includes finding out the killer.
The film was produced by Tony and Ridley Scott, and directed by Michael Cuesta, who directed the series "Dexter" (began to appear in 2006) and tried to make a similar film.
It turned out so bad.
If “The Horsemen ” and“ The Convictor Heart ” took many years for the manuscript to reach the screen, then the film Doom all about everything took only two years.
Callaham was called to a meeting with people from the leadership of Warner Bros, not really explaining why.
He was asked if he had played Doom.
He was playing.
The next question was, what movie would he make based on it?
Callaham recalled the secrets of selling scripts learned during his time at the CAA, quickly formulated a few ideas – and was hired.
However, the film did not meet the expectations of a huge audience of fans of the computer game and collected less than $60 million spent on it.
Perhaps because there is nothing left of the game in the film – even the BFG weapon has little to do with the gun from the game except the name.
The contract for the script for Doom provided that Callaham would write another script for Warner Bros.
He did not wait until he was given a task, and he wrote a story about the dictator of a small island (“Barrow ”, Barrow), who is overthrown by American mercenaries – he was inspired to read an article in the newspaper about the Blackwater PMC in Iraq.
Management did not like the idea, and the script lay on the shelf.
A few years later, Sylvester Stallone wanted to shoot an action movie in the style of the good old 70s and began to look for material for him.
Someone at Warner Bros sent him a script for Callahan.
Stallone was fascinated by the idea, but he did not take the script, but wrote his own based on it, which he called "The Expendables" (The Expendables, 2010).
It didn't turn out very nice.
In 2009, the production of the film was in full swing when Callaham learned that his name would not be in the credits of the film and that he would not receive a cent for the fact that his script served as a starting point for Stallone.
I had to look for justice in the Writers Guild (WGA).
They listened to the arguments of the parties and decided that Callaham should be considered a co-author of the film and receive $102,250 (the film itself collected $274.5 million at the world box office).
Moreover, since Callaham was listed as one of the authors of the first film, he is entitled to pay for all subsequent films in the series and mentions with the wording "the film is based on characters created by Callaham".
Stallone was invited to star in the first “Expendables ” by Jean-Claude Van Damme.
He refused, which he later regretted.
So in the second “Expendables ” he was taken, but for the role of a bad hero, and at the end of the film Stallone personally killed him.
But Callaham again showed the viewer the good Van Damme.
In 2016-2017, the Amazon streaming service released the series “Jean-Claude Van Johnson ” (Jean-Claude Van Johnson) about the fact that the hero of the militants is actually a special agent named Johnson, who used his film career as a cover.
He returns from retirement to work.
Return failed: after the first season, the series was closed.
Chainsaw President
While working on the script for “Mound ” –“ Expendables ” Callaham read biographies of mercenaries, their memories of armed conflicts and other materials of this kind.
And for the next script, he read the official 600-page guide on disaster response and watched many nature documentaries.
After all, his next hero, he considered just a giant animal: it ’ s a remake of “Godzilla ” (Godzilla, 2014).
The monster there is more of a positive hero: he saves humanity from other monsters that are preparing to multiply in terrible numbers.
However, with a budget of $160 million, the film collected more than 3 times more.
Callaham managed to work on the remake of “Welcome to Zombieland 2 ” (Zombieland: Double Tap, 2019) together with the screenwriters of the original film, Rett Reese and Wernick Wernick.
And then, according to The Hollywood Reporter, accidentally made a name for himself in the superhero industry.
In fact, he agreed with director Patty Jenkins to work on the criminal comedy “Jackpot ” – a remake of the 2011 film, the script for which was written by Yu Nesbø.
But Jenkins went to another project - Wonder Woman 1984 (2020), and Callaham stayed to work on "Jackpot" with Will Gluck.
Jenkins and Jeff Jones wrote a draft of the script for several months, received approval from Warner Bros - and immediately after that, they dragged Callaham into their team to bring the plot to mind.
Alas, despite all their efforts, Gal Gadot as a superheroine turned out to be much less attractive than Godzilla.
With a budget of $200 million, the film grossed $166.5 million.
But the jackpot didn ’ t come out.
Callaham had previously worked with Marvel on several films.
For example, “The Wolfman ” (2010).
But it was rather a short consultation, and he was never offered to create something from scratch.
But Callaham managed to get acquainted with almost all the leaders of Marvel.
So when they needed an Asian writer for Shan-Chi, they knew who to call.
“My dream has come true! ” Callaham shared his joy with The Hollywood Reporter.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
This year has been very fruitful for Callahan.
In addition to Shan-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, two of his films were released.
Mortal Kombat (2021) is another film adaptation of the famous computer game.
Opinions of critics and viewers sharply divided, wrote the site Rotten Tomatoes.
The audience he scored quite a high rating – 87%.
Critics of the creation categorically did not like, and in the media were not uncommon such headlines as “The Last Disappointment from Hollywood ”.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the critical rating barely reached 55%.
However, as noted on the site, it still made it the fourth in the list of the best video game adaptations in the history of cinema.
The third novelty that year was the full-length cartoon “America: The Motion Picture ” (America: The Motion Picture, 2021).
Cullaham began working on it 10 years ago, deciding to tell how the United States gained independence in the fight against the British Empire.
That sounds dull.
But, as Callagham said in an interview with Inverse, “The [real] story isn ’ t as exciting as George Washington with two chainsaws. ”
In the cartoon, the American president really fights with two chainsaws.
And there is a centaur robocop, helicopters on pedal traction, football balls - cannibals.
The following of historical facts can be judged by such an example.
If you believe the cartoon, then Abraham Lincoln was killed, and in the theater.
He was killed by Benedict Arnold, who was actually a werewolf.
This is the first animated film made by Netflix that has an R rating (for persons under 17 years of age, the presence of an adult is mandatory).
“America: The Movie ” is proof that I can be funny.
I hoped that he would help me become an action comedy writer.
That ’ s what happened, ” Callaham explained on the pages of Inverse his plans for the future. – Now most comedies are comedic action movies.
In Marvel movies, for example, there is a lot of comical.
But for me, writing a comedy is somehow more fun than a story in which people die all the time. ”
In the films he is working on, there will be fights and humor.
The first project is a remake of the Spider-Man story.
This time a full-length animated film.
He doesn't even have a name yet.
Callagham writes with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller.
“Sometimes one of us works.
Sometimes two.
Sometimes all three depend on who can, ” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
The second project is the complete opposite of the first.
This is a remake of the 1997 animated film.
Hercules with real actors.
It ’ s hard to say anything about him, Disney approaches such remakes differently.
For example, the movie Lion King (2019) created on the computer repeats the original cartoon quite accurately.
But “Mulan ” (Mulan, 2020) with real actors is a fairly free interpretation of the source.

On June 21, Disney + will release the first episode of Secret Invasion, a spy thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson based on the Marvel comic of the same name.
“World of Fantasy ” recalls what happened in the comic book, tells what to expect from the series, and compares the show with the original source.
How "Secret Invasion" Happened in Comics
In 2008, a large-scale crossover was launched in Marvel comics by screenwriter Brian Michael Bendis.
Throughout the eight issues of the main series (and piles in the neighboring - the event affected about five dozen episodes) Iron Man, Reed Richards, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Luke Cage and other characters reflected another threat to Earth.
Only this time, none of them knew which of the friends and allies can be trusted.
Shortly before the beginning of the crossover, Tony Stark made a terrible discovery: spies of the alien race of werewolves Skrull for some time replace the heroes and villains of the Marvel universe.
Realizing that they have been revealed, werewolves begin to act.
Having lured the most powerful heroes to the Wild Earth, turned off all the devices of the Stark Enterprises and neutralized the ships of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Skrulls arrange a full-scale seizure of the Earth, starting, of course, with New York.
As a result, it all boils down to another large-scale, for a couple of numbers, massacre, in which the reunited heroes win a crushing victory over the skrulls.
But at the same time, several events have long-lasting consequences:
In a decisive battle with the Skrulls, Janet van Dyne (Wasp) is killed.
In the comics returns Captain America, who was believed to have died after the events of the Civil War.
The real Cap turns out to be one of the Skrull kidnapped heroes.
The President of the United States blames Tony Stark for what happened.
The government breaks all contracts with Stark Enterprises, and Stark himself is dismissed from his post as director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
• The President dissolves S.H.I.E.L.D., replacing it with a more “relevant and effective ” organization — M.O.L.O.T.
• All registered superheroes, including the Avengers and the 50 States Initiative, are placed under the control of Norman Osborn.
Secretly from everyone, Osborn assembles a group of Emma Frost, Namor, Doctor Doom, Hood, and Loki, triggering a chain of events that will eventually lead to the events of the new Dark Rule crossover.
What we know about the series
In the comics, the Skrulls were cruel and insidious invaders, but in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they themselves turned into innocent victims of interplanetary war.
When Nick Fury and Carol Danvers first came across them in the mid-1990s (in Captain Marvel), Fury promised their leader Talos to find a new home for the Skrulls if they would work for him.
And that's the problem: for thirty years, the Skrulls have been doing their part of the deal honestly, but Fury never found anything.
During this time, a new generation of skrulls managed to grow up, which was tired of waiting, asking and hiding in someone else ’ s skin.
In their ranks, an extremist movement has formed, ready to seize our planet.
Preferably secretly, but if necessary by force.
And every day more and more young people are united around the extremist leader Gravik.
For Talos, the conflict quickly moves to a personal level, because his own daughter Guy'ya joined the ranks of extremists.
Returning to Earth, Fury faces an overwhelming task: he must assemble a team and repel a secret alien invasion.
But how to do this without knowing who is a friend and who is an enemy?
You don't know who you can trust and who you can't.
This series is looking for answers to many current questions of our time, in particular about what happens when people are afraid and cease to understand each other.
In this case, the guilty cannot be distinguished from the innocent.
Samuel L. Jackson in an interview with Vanity Fair
Who is who
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) is a former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and founder of the Avengers Initiative.
After the events of the Final, Fury left Earth for a long time and has not responded to the messages of his deputy Maria Hill for a long time.
Fury was on the defense of the planet long before Iron Man, but recent events seem to have broken even him.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jackson explains that one of the reasons Fury is hiding somewhere in the depths of space and ignoring messages is that he no longer believes he can fix things.
Maria Hill (Kobe Smulders) is Fury's longtime deputy and ally.
For several years now, she has been trying to put out all the fires on her own.
Everett C. Ross (Martin Freeman) is a former CIA officer who is not the first to deal with secret societies.
Rody Rhodes (Don Cheadle) is a former high-ranking Air Force officer and a close friend of Tony Stark, and now the right-hand man of the President of the United States.
And in this position, Rhodes is forced to make many difficult decisions that turn out to be both good and bad.
Talos (Ben Mendelssohn) is a Skrull leader and a close friend and ally of Nick Fury.
He impersonates Nick Fury while he is absent from Earth.
Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) is the leader of an extremist group of young Skrulls, tired of Fury's promises and disillusioned with Talos' policies.
He founded his base on an abandoned nuclear power plant in Russia.
Guy'ya performed by Emilia Clarke
Gai'a (Emilia Clarke) is Talos' daughter.
Disillusioned with her father and Fury's empty promises.
Sonia Falsworth (Olivia Coleman) is a high-ranking MI6 agent.
In the past, I ’ ve crossed paths with Nick Fury, sometimes on the same side, sometimes on different sides.
At first glance, it seems that she cares about the national security of the UK, but perhaps she is pursuing her own interests.
Vanity Fair reports that Falsworth will be more of an opponent than Fury's assistant.

Gravik's parents were killed by the Kree race.
Nick Fury's wife is Skrull.
How does a comic book series play out?
In short, no way.
"Secret Invasion" borrows from the source only the name and the basic idea: the Skrulls are secretly preparing to take over the Earth, and its defenders have no idea who to trust.
That's where the similarities end.
Executive producer Jonathan Schwartz directly says that the creators of the series were inspired primarily by other sources - spy thrillers John Le Carré and modern television series like Homeland and Americans.
The original comic was a crossover, collected on the pages of almost all significant superheroes and supervillains Marvel.
The Skrull invasion helped repel the New, Secret, and Young Avengers, the Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, and dozens of other characters all the way up to Howard the Duck.
Nick Fury was just one of dozens of actors, far from being the main one.
In the series, he comes to the fore.
Moreover, in the television "Secret Invasion" will not be a single superhero - Fury deliberately decides not to call his powerful friends and acquaintances and seek help exclusively from the same spies, operatives and special agents as himself. Why?
“In due time, we know everything, ” Jackson promises.“ He has a very good reason to do this. ”
What critics say
Critics were shown the first two episodes of "Invasion", and so far the rating of freshness of the series stopped at a neutral mark of 65%.
Emily Murray of Total Film liked the series in general: she notes the magnificent cast, the difference from other Marvel series in the atmosphere and the promising villain in the face of Gravik.
And at the same time, Murray did not have enough scenes with Gravik, the author believes that both episodes could be shortened, eliminating excessively long scenes, and “wooden ” Clark spoils the impression of otherwise excellent acting.
Josh Spiegel of SlashFilm notes that the first episodes of "Secret Invasion" is a promising, gloomy atmospheric spy thriller with potentially serious consequences, but warns that by now, a cheerful start and a weak finish have become almost the standard for Marvel series.
Ben Travers of IndieWire is disappointed that the authors of “Secret Invasion ” are more interested in“ surprising the audience with unexpected plot twists than rewarding an interesting story ”, and the show itself falls far short of the level of the series “Americans ” and the declared genre of geopolitical thriller.
Travers also laments that the numerous talents of the bright and impressive cast have been reduced to "dull exposure, mechanical dialogues and tortured jokes."
For Daniel Finberg of The Hollywood Reporter, the first two episodes were also a disappointment.
“The great cast makes the series watchable, but for the most part, Secret Invasion is harsher and more boring than would have been expected from Graham Green-style and John Le Carré spy novels, ” he notes.
Finberg is also unhappy with the complete lack of action.
“With the exception of the dynamic chase scene at the beginning of the first episode and the brief torture scene in the second, both episodes are almost entirely dialogue. ”
* * *
Promising trailers and, at best, neutral press reviews counterbalance expectations from The Secret Invasion, but so far it ’ s indisputably the main event of the year in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the finale of The Guardians.

The film [The Lion King: Mufasa] is expected to be released on May 5, 2024.

Title:

Content: A new part of The Lion King.
The story of Mufasa as you never knew it.
About five years after the release of The Lion King in 2019, Disney is offering a live-action version of the film, Mufasa: The Lion King, a new story that takes audiences back to the familiar tale of the film, as Simba explores the history of his father, Mufasa, and his father ’ s relationship with his younger brother. Reer Scar.
The film also comes on the 30th anniversary of the original Lion King, released in 1994, as part of Disney ’ s experiments in turning animated films into reality, such as Cinderella, The Mermaid, and Aladdin.
It is a safe strategy to ensure a financially successful product, without risking capital in new experiences that may not generate revenue.
The film is expected to be released on May 5, 2024.
Simba explores the history of Mufasa
The first real-life version of The Lion King in 2019 grossed nearly $1.6 billion worldwide.
The new version of The Lion King is expected to surpass the previous film because it explores an old story never presented before, while retaining all the reasons for the success of the original film, the story of the evil brother "Scar" and his relationship with his brother "Mufasa", a focal point in the main film, and the audience always wondered about the causes of the great evil inherent in the character "Scar".
Disney is looking to make an artistic epic, or a series of films as a result of the film ’ s manifold story, which carries more than one story, especially if its makers can find clues to the stories, because despite the worlds of Disney and its large production of films, it has never produced a major series like Star Wars, for example, and the story of the Lion King can be the beginning of movie series, especially as it moves narrative between the past and present....
Heroes of the New Story
The film was officially announced by Barry Jenkins, and Jeff Nathanson, the screenwriter of The Lion King (2019), completes his role as the writer of the new work "Mufasa".
Genghis said that there are many familiar characters will appear in the next film, and that the version will include new stories about the characters that the audience knew and associated with, and the story will go back in time with the heroes, to know the audience history and how they became what they are in the end, as the film tells how "Mufasa" came out of a modest life to reach the top of power, after he was a young cub roaming alone in life.
The film includes some changes to the voices of the heroes from the previous film, where the voice of young "Mufasa" will be performed by Aaron Pierre, while the voice of Mufasa was provided in the previous film, and in the older film of 1994 James Earl Jones.
Familiar voices that won ’ t change include John Kanye, who will cast Mandrel Reviki, Billy Eichner, who will cast Timon, Seth Rogan, who will cast Pumbaa, Kelvin Harrison, Jr., who will cast Scar, and Beyoncé, who will cast Nala.
Why is Disney bringing back the old stories?
Although audiences on social media complain about reproducing Disney ’ s classics, the box office always favors reproducing the classics, and there are many reasons for audiences to watch animated films in their real-life versions, including the attraction of old fans and the desire of the new generation to explore the modern context of the tale.
From here, such films have a double audience, especially in that story that touches on fatherhood, family, friendship, love and life. Mufasa remains one of the most famous Disney characters, and did not explore his story as befitting his fame and the story of his sad death in the original film, which separated the audiences against their will.

The film includes some changes to the voices of the heroes from the previous film, where the voice of young "Mufasa" will be performed by Aaron Pierre, while the voice of Mufasa was provided in the previous film, and in the older film of 1994 James Earl Jones.
Familiar voices that won ’ t change include John Kanye, who will cast Mandrel Reviki, Billy Eichner, who will cast Timon, Seth Rogan, who will cast Pumbaa, Kelvin Harrison, Jr., who will cast Scar, and Beyoncé, who will cast Nala.
Why is Disney bringing back the old stories?
Although audiences on social media complain about reproducing Disney ’ s classics, the box office always favors reproducing the classics, and there are many reasons for audiences to watch animated films in their real-life versions, including the attraction of old fans and the desire of the new generation to explore the modern context of the tale.
From here, such films have a double audience, especially in that story that touches on fatherhood, family, friendship, love and life. Mufasa remains one of the most famous Disney characters, and did not explore his story as befitting his fame and the story of his sad death in the original film, which separated the audiences against their will.

What does Disney's reliance on sequels and spin-offs instead of new IP suggest about its creativity?

A stalling of the company's creative engine.

Why is Disney bringing back the old stories?

Title:

The story of Mufasa as you never knew it.
About five years after the release of The Lion King in 2019, Disney is offering a live-action version of the film, Mufasa: The Lion King, a new story that takes audiences back to the familiar tale of the film, as Simba explores the history of his father, Mufasa, and his father ’ s relationship with his younger brother. Reer Scar.
The film also comes on the 30th anniversary of the original Lion King, released in 1994, as part of Disney ’ s experiments in turning animated films into reality, such as Cinderella, The Mermaid, and Aladdin.
It is a safe strategy to ensure a financially successful product, without risking capital in new experiences that may not generate revenue.
The film is expected to be released on May 5, 2024.
Simba explores the history of Mufasa
The first real-life version of The Lion King in 2019 grossed nearly $1.6 billion worldwide.
The new version of The Lion King is expected to surpass the previous film because it explores an old story never presented before, while retaining all the reasons for the success of the original film, the story of the evil brother "Scar" and his relationship with his brother "Mufasa", a focal point in the main film, and the audience always wondered about the causes of the great evil inherent in the character "Scar".
Disney is looking to make an artistic epic, or a series of films as a result of the film ’ s manifold story, which carries more than one story, especially if its makers can find clues to the stories, because despite the worlds of Disney and its large production of films, it has never produced a major series like Star Wars, for example, and the story of the Lion King can be the beginning of movie series, especially as it moves narrative between the past and present....

How has Disney leveraged nostalgia in recent years?

By turning classic animations into live-action films with major stars

Title:

Content: Disney has released a short film about its long list of heroes.
Cairo - Center Gate Monday 16 October 2023, 02: 12 pm
More than 500 Disney heroes and characters come to life, from Mickey to Elsa to Captain Hook, in a short film in the form of a “love letter ” to the popular animation studio celebrating its centenary in a turbulent climate on Monday.
The Disney platform is providing this funny and moving video, titled “Once Aban A Studio, ” four months after it was shown at the French Annecy Festival where it was met with great acclaim, and the nine-minute work blends digital images, handmade drawings and real footage, according to AFP.
The two-year film features 543 characters from 85 long and short films, emerging from paintings displayed in the corridors of the group ’ s American headquarters where they gather to take a family photo after the employees leave.
Return of actors by the way.
Co-director Trent Corey said that working on the film was “like putting together the biggest disjointed puzzle game of his life, and Corey hired more than 100 people, along with former animators and 40 actors who returned to work specifically for the occasion.
Co-author Dan Abraham explained the goal of the work: “All characters look exactly the same as in their original films, and have the same voices, ” and based on a previously unpublished recording of actor Robin Williams, who died in 2014 in which he played the role of Genie Aladdin in in English.
Paper and pencil
The film helps restore the traditional animations that have been permanently replaced by the three-dimensional ones in Disney ’ s feature-length films since Winnie the Pooh in 2011.
According to artist Eric Goldberg, who previously worked on Aladdin and Pocahontas and oversaw the two-dimensional part of the retrospective, “of the 543 characters in the film, about 450 are hand-drawn ” in pencil on paper,“ we didn ’ t take any of the existing films, be it three-dimensional or two-dimensional, so it was technically difficult. ”
The film also pays homage to Disney animator Burney Mattinson, who died in February, and Mary Poppins composer Richard Sherman, who, at 94, recreated the music of Walt Disney ’ s favorite song “Fed the Birds, ” with Dan Abraham commenting that“ everyone wanted to be one of these birds! ”

The entertainment giant will intensify its activities on its centenary through concerts, exhibitions and others, the most prominent of which will be the Disney classic-inspired film WISH, which will be shown in November, but the release of the short tape coincides with the date that is considered the date of the founding of the company « Walt Disney ».
On October 16, Walt Disney and his brother Roy, who founded Disney Brothers Studios in a Hollywood garage, signed an important distribution deal for their short film series Alice Comedy, which deals with the adventures of a young girl of flesh and blood in an animated world. He fell into oblivion.
“It ’ s already a hundred years we look back and thank the people we worked with and our fans, ” said Elaine Itze, president of Disney ’ s French subsidiary, recalling that the presence of France ’ s entertainment empire began in 1934 with Journal du Mickey.
Disney is going through a rough time.
The California-based company that acquired Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel in the 21st century is going through a tumultuous period, with the number of Disney subscribers declining, and the company has taken several measures to address this situation, most notably the layoffs of 7,000 employees in an effort to reduce expenses and achieve some savings, while the historic Hollywood actor strike continues.
Walt Disney has lost much of his aura after being accused of fierce union hostility, racism and misogyny, though some are now critical of Disney ’ s progressive stance, which has chosen a black actress to play the mermaid in the new version of its famous movie “Little Mermaid. ”
According to Eric Goldberg, Disney movies are often the first thing children see in cinema, and he remarked that Disney characters and stories “gave a lot of joy and hope, ” hoping it would last“ another hundred years. ”

The deal, which Netflix has been working on for the past three years, is one of the company’s biggest global deals to acquire the intellectual rights to an integrated world full of events and characters such as Marvel and DC.

Title:

Content: A deal worth a billion dollars.
Why did Netflix take over the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
How will the fairy tales that enchanted the children of the fifties and sixties be addressed and presented, to fascinate the generations of the thirties of the millennium?
In what is the biggest deal in its history to date, Netflix has acquired all of Roald Dahl ’ s intellectual property rights, including the rights to use fictional characters and worlds created by the late British writer Roald Dahl.
The deal, which Netflix has been working on for the past three years, is one of the company ’ s biggest global deals to acquire the intellectual rights to an integrated world full of events and characters such as Marvel and DC.
Netflix will also help build its arsenal of content in the online streaming wars against competitors, including Disney +, Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max.
The global platform intends to create an extended and integrated world based on the late writer ’ s stories and novels, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with the huge deal – details of which were announced last Wednesday – granting Netflix all rights to the author ’ s 16 titles and characters, as well as potential opportunities in many works beyond Netflix ’ s core series. It allows them to control licenses for games, live theater shows, virtual reality, and ads that use "D" characters.
Over the past three years, Netflix has paid nearly $1 billion for the rights to animated series and movies, based on 16 British fiction stories, including Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, The BFG, The Twits and Matilda.
In its announcement on Wednesday, Netflix said it was working on a new Roald Dahl series based on the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with director Taika Waititi, and is partnering with Sony and Working Title to adapt the musical theater show Matilda.
Ted Sarandos, co-CEO and chief content officer at Netflix, and Luke Kelly, grandson of Roald Dahl Story, said: “As we bring these timeless tales to more audiences in new forms, we are committed to preserving their unique spirit and global themes of surprises, while adding some new visual magic to the mix. ”
“Netflix and Roald Dahl ’ s story share a deep love of storytelling.
Together, we have an extraordinary opportunity to write multiple new chapters of these beloved stories, delighting children and adults around the world for generations to come. ”
Sarandos and Kelly said, “We want to thank all those who have contributed to the success of this great deal so far. ”
Looking ahead, we are excited to continue the close working relationships RDSC has established with existing rights holders and publishing, theatre and entertainment partners, to protect and grow the great legacy of these beloved stories.
Under the deal, all 26 employees of Roald Dahl Story will retain their roles and functions at the company, while Roald Dahl Story will operate as an independent unit within Netflix, expanding the implementation of plans currently in place to 19 television programs, films, theatrical performances and live experiences.
A significant portion of the proceeds from the sale will also be directed to the establishment of a charitable trust fund, which will focus on supporting existing and new charitable partners in the areas of child health and combating hatred and racism.
Born in Wales to Norwegian parents in 1916, Roald Dahl participated in World War II within the ranks of the British army, then went on to write fiction after his return from the war. His writings were light and harmonious with the drawings of his comrade Quentin Blake. His works have been translated into 63 languages and sold more than 300 million copies worldwide. Sutter Fox, Willie Wonka and Charlie.
These new characters and stories may give Netflix the ability to counter Disney ’ s own chains and titles owned by rival platforms in the online streaming market, but how will these stories, which enchanted children of the 1950s and 1960s to enchant the generations of the 2000s, be addressed and presented?
That ’ s what we ’ ll soon find out anyway.

About five years after the release of The Lion King in 2019, Disney is offering a live-action version of the film, Mufasa: The Lion King, a new story that takes audiences back to the familiar tale of the film, as Simba explores the history of his father, Mufasa, and his father ’ s relationship with his younger brother. Reer Scar.
The film also comes on the 30th anniversary of the original Lion King, released in 1994, as part of Disney ’ s experiments in turning animated films into reality, such as Cinderella, The Mermaid, and Aladdin.
It is a safe strategy to ensure a financially successful product, without risking capital in new experiences that may not generate revenue.
The film is expected to be released on May 5, 2024.
Simba explores the history of Mufasa
The first real-life version of The Lion King in 2019 grossed nearly $1.6 billion worldwide.
The new version of The Lion King is expected to surpass the previous film because it explores an old story never presented before, while retaining all the reasons for the success of the original film, the story of the evil brother "Scar" and his relationship with his brother "Mufasa", a focal point in the main film, and the audience always wondered about the causes of the great evil inherent in the character "Scar".
Disney is looking to make an artistic epic, or a series of films as a result of the film ’ s manifold story, which carries more than one story, especially if its makers can find clues to the stories, because despite the worlds of Disney and its large production of films, it has never produced a major series like Star Wars, for example, and the story of the Lion King can be the beginning of movie series, especially as it moves narrative between the past and present....
Heroes of the New Story
The film was officially announced by Barry Jenkins, and Jeff Nathanson, the screenwriter of The Lion King (2019), completes his role as the writer of the new work "Mufasa".
Genghis said that there are many familiar characters will appear in the next film, and that the version will include new stories about the characters that the audience knew and associated with, and the story will go back in time with the heroes, to know the audience history and how they became what they are in the end, as the film tells how "Mufasa" came out of a modest life to reach the top of power, after he was a young cub roaming alone in life.
The film includes some changes to the voices of the heroes from the previous film, where the voice of young "Mufasa" will be performed by Aaron Pierre, while the voice of Mufasa was provided in the previous film, and in the older film of 1994 James Earl Jones.
Familiar voices that won ’ t change include John Kanye, who will cast Mandrel Reviki, Billy Eichner, who will cast Timon, Seth Rogan, who will cast Pumbaa, Kelvin Harrison, Jr., who will cast Scar, and Beyoncé, who will cast Nala.
Why is Disney bringing back the old stories?
Although audiences on social media complain about reproducing Disney ’ s classics, the box office always favors reproducing the classics, and there are many reasons for audiences to watch animated films in their real-life versions, including the attraction of old fans and the desire of the new generation to explore the modern context of the tale.
From here, such films have a double audience, especially in that story that touches on fatherhood, family, friendship, love and life. Mufasa remains one of the most famous Disney characters, and did not explore his story as befitting his fame and the story of his sad death in the original film, which separated the audiences against their will.

Co-author Dan Abraham explained the goal of the work: “All characters look exactly the same as in their original films, and have the same voices, ” and based on a previously unpublished recording of actor Robin Williams, who died in 2014 in which he played the role of Genie Aladdin in in English.

What we want you to know is
Disney animation has been a hundred years, from the small studio, to the animation kingdom, and now the film and television entertainment empire, but they continue to extend different tentacles, produce a variety of subject matter works at the same time, but also do not forget those classic animation works that are deeply rooted in people's memories.
What ’ s so interesting about the recent exhibition “Disney Animation Show ”?
This article is presented once.
Text: Lan Ying
In my opinion, we still have a lot of stories to tell.
— — Walt Disney
What are the animations that accompanied you in your childhood? Maybe the works of Miyazaki and Ghibli Studios, maybe Pixar, DreamWorks and other animation companies, and Disney, which has a place in American animation, must be on the list of many people ’ s childhood animations, and it accounts for a large proportion?
I remember when I was a kid, the first animation I came into contact with was a reel of Disney animations that my father had bought — Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Little Mermaid, Bambi, The Lion King, Strange in the Wind, and so on.
Disney not only opened the door for me to see animation, but also the first medium I know fairy tales, which accompanied my childhood, that is, more than 20 years later, I still have a special feeling for it, still remember.
A group of passionate and dreaming people and a mouse build a century-old animation kingdom.
Disney Animation Studios, founded in 1923, is turning 100 this year.
The world famous Mickey Mouse - Mickey was born in 1928, Disney produced, with Mickey as the main character of the world's first audio animation, more than 7 minutes of "Willie Steamboat" was also released in November of the same year, and since then Mickey has become a household name animation star.
The exhibition site not only displays a number of animated manuscripts, but also broadcasts the complete "Willy Steamboat" animation, set up an automatic hand-drawn animation simulation device, so that the public can see the characters in the high-speed movement of the situation, feel the most original animation production method.
The beautiful manuscript brings you closer to the brush strokes and attentions of the animator. Even after many years, you can still feel the warmth of the carefully crafted work from the patterns on the paper.
After Mickey became popular, Minnie, Donald Duck, Gao Fei, Bruce and other characters have also appeared in the animation, accompanying many children through their childhood.
But Disney did not stop here, and began to try the animation feature production that no one had tried at that time. In the era of animated short films that were no longer than 10 minutes, making an animated feature film was a wild idea, and there was a lot of effort, resources, and manpower involved.
But if you stop trying and settle for the status quo, maybe Disney animation will not be the most classic today.
The mirror not only finds Snow White, but also shows the future of animation.
In 1937, Disney's first classic animated feature, Snow White, which took three years to produce and adapted from Green's fairy tale, was released, and sparked Disney's plans for the next animated feature.
In addition to the large output of the image drawings of the early stage of production, the exhibition hall also set up a mirror scene, and loop play "Mirror ah, who is the most beautiful woman in the world"?
Many people stopped to take pictures to commemorate the moment when they met their childhood again.
Disney Animation show this century years divided into different periods, each period has picked out a number of classic animation, and those works have accompanied many Disney fans to spend a good childhood, such as "Little Elephant", "Bambi", "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "101 Loyal Dog", etc., looking at these familiar animation and its characters, like old friends. Once again, those familiar stories, the time spent together, all came back to mind in the exhibition.
In the exhibition hall, each section of the animation on display is clearly divided, according to the tone of each animation, to give the appropriate color matching, the exhibits are mostly divided into pictures and animation manuscripts - there are characters, there are scenes, there are also models showing how they originally made and shot the animation.
However, after the death of the Disney brothers, the Disney animation studio also faced difficulties in the internal personnel changes and subsequent production failures, and fell silent for a short period of time.
From the ocean, the little mermaid sparks the waves of revival.
At the end of 1989, The Little Mermaid, Disney ’ s 28th classic animated feature, based on Andersen ’ s fairy tale, was released, and the Broadway musical style allowed the work to win praise not only for its animation, music and characters, but also for its commercial success.
"Under the Sea" won the Academy Award for Best Original Score and Best Original Song.
The success of "Little Mermaid" also marked the arrival of the Renaissance era of Disney animation, allowing Disney to clear the shadow of a series of losses in the early 1980s and welcome the opportunity to regain a new life.
During this period, Disney continued the style of musical production and introduced computer production technology to assist in animation, releasing many works that are still popular today, such as "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "The Lion King", "Strange in the Wind", "Mulan", "Tarzan" and so on. In recent years, many works have been slowly adapted into live-action movies to return to the audience, which shows the success and deep rooted hearts of these works.
However, when the last work of this period, "Tarzan" was launched, Disney animation slowly went down again, and it was bound to find a chance to return to the peak in the challenge of technological innovation and peer competition.
Embrace technology and continue the original intention to open a new century of entertainment
After the revival of traditional hand-drawn animation with its own characteristics in the late 20th century, Disney suffered the market impact of computer animation in the early 21st century.
During this period, although Disney also released other blockbuster movies (such as "Fantastic Voyage: Pirates of the Caribbean"), only "Star Baby" animated movies were popular because of its cute shape.
After a series of changes and consolidation, Disney acquired Pixar Animation in 2006, which is the path to computer animation production.
However, although most of the works of this period were produced using computer animation, there are still "Princess and the Frog" and "Winnie the Pooh Movie" are hand-drawn animation, of which "Winnie the Pooh Movie" (2011) is the last Disney animated film to be produced using hand-drawn animation.
After years of trying, Disney launched "Frozen" in 2013 swept the world, the theme song "Let it go" even people who have not seen the works will know which song to hear the melody, which shows that the legendary degree is extremely high.
Subsequent animated films, whether new works or sequels, such as Animal City, Invincible Destroyer 2, and Full House of Magic, have been successful.

How has Disney leveraged nostalgia in recent years?

By turning classic animations into live-action films with major stars

"In my opinion, we still have a lot of stories to tell.

According to John Musker, what should Disney prioritize in its remakes?

But Disney did not stop here, and began to try the animation feature production that no one had tried at that time.

But if you stop trying and settle for the status quo, maybe Disney animation will not be the most classic today."

What does Disney's reliance on sequels and spin-offs instead of new IP suggest about its creativity?

A stalling of the company's creative engine.

Content: 2000% Disney Character BE @ RBRICK came to Hong Kong to interview MEDICOM TOY Director Ryuhiko Akashi
Author: Kathleen Leung
Published: Updated:
【 BE @ RBRICK / ART TOY 】 BE @ RBRICK has always been one of the most popular collectibles in Hong Kong. MEDICOM TOY has held three exhibitions in Hong Kong. This large-scale exhibition in Harbour City will introduce 100 Disney characters, 53 of which are new limited designs, and only 2000% @ BE RBRICK has been sold for the first time. And...
We have invited Tatsuhiko Akashi, Managing Director of MEDICOM TOY, to share with us the design considerations behind this legendary art toy and the highlights of this exhibition.

Q: What are the general considerations when choosing an artist or brand that works with BE @ RBRICK? How do you choose the theme or concept of BE @ RBRICK in general?
Red: When I first conceived BE @ RBRICK, I wanted to use BE @ RBRICK as a drawing board to allow all kinds of people to express themselves freely on it.
At first, I tried to find some friends to do different designs on it. After three months of experimentation, more and more people gradually got to know BE @ RBRICK, and got a lot of cooperation suggestions, and began to make formal production.
As for the specific artists or brands to cooperate with, there is no unified standard.
Honestly, this is a very abstract process, mostly emotional first, if the feeling of cooperation will be happy will be clapped.
Of course, if you and the artist or partner feel that the work is not up to the standard, you will also be generous and the other party may not be suitable for each other.
A lot of times feel that when the time comes, they will cooperate.

Q: How do you think BE @ RBRICK has evolved since it was first released? How do you see the relationship between art, design and toys?
Compared to the market change, I think it is more that the factory technology has improved.
A lot of design that was not done in the past can now be realized, and now it can be expressed in the works to expand a lot, which is the biggest change I think.
As for art, design and toys, I think the three are mutually affected, and there is no big dividing line.
When it comes to design, I think of one thing.
During the epidemic, the number of visitors to the Louvre decreased, the income was greatly reduced, and the stores inside were close to deficit, and even some of the collection had to be sold.
Later, I learned about this through my acquaintances, and the Louvre collaborated to launch a Mona Lisa BE @ RBRICK. The response was good, the proceeds were directly returned to the art world, and to a certain extent BE @ RBRICK as an art toy can also contribute to the art industry.
One of the highlights of the collaboration is BE @ RBRICK Gingerbread Mickey Mouse (Image: Harbour City)
Q: How do you balance BE @ RBRICK with artist style? Why do you think so many people like BE @ RBRICK?
Red: The most important thing is that the finished product will not have a sense of discord, will not feel strange, and will not feel that it is not similar to the past BE @ RBRICK.
Of course, it must be done to make people feel cute, to have a cool feeling, which is one of the principles.
Sometimes after making a product, it will make people feel "abominable! You have been preempted", which is why I think BE @ RBRICK can achieve the effect, to have a "sense of joy" to be in the front end.
I can be a BE @ RBRICK “dad ” and it ’ s hard to comment on their charm.
But after all these years of “parenting ”, I think it ’ s been pretty good.
Q: So many cross-border cooperation, what is the most impressive?
What do you think is the main highlight of this trip to Hong Kong?
Red: I feel that I am most impressed by BE @ RBRICK THE KAISER Karl Lagerfeld, a collaboration with CHANEL, which is a rare experience.
As for this exhibition, BE @ RBRICK Gingerbread Mickey Mouse is probably the most symbolic of them. I felt quite genius when I saw the design.
Q: Are there any plans for future cooperation that can be revealed?
Although I have some preliminary ideas, I will not directly draw up a 10-year plan, after all, I can not even understand how my life will be in ten years. (Laughter) Now, all I can do is to find out from various external feedback suitable for BE @ RBRICK elements and then output them.
As for what can be revealed now, next year BE @ RBRICK will collaborate with Apple TV to produce an animation, which I think will be very interesting.

The opening of the Chorus of Hope was filmed at Datun Mountain Nature Park and Xiaoyintan Waterfall in Yangmingshan, while Ah Mei continued to record at the Taipei Pop Music Center ’ s auditorium and off-site venue, which was the first time that the Center provided space for music video shooting.
Talking about the production process, director Huang Zhongping said: “You can feel the joyful notes in the air. A Mei will seize the spare time to exchange the skills of singing Disney ’ s famous songs with the indigenous children, and even sing together, which is impressive. ”
On the other hand, in order to interpret the rapping creation of the classic style and the spirit of the new generation, Skinny E.SO was filmed at Zhongshan House, showing the ultimate contrast between classical and modern. The National Taiwan Museum and the old building of the Ching Yeh Bank have created an atmosphere in which Disney + has officially entered Taiwan. ”

Disney CEO Iger: The first priority is to make the streaming platform profitable
2022 / 11 / 29 16: 20

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Walt Disney ’ s newly appointed chief executive, Bob Iger, said today that one of his top priorities is to monetize the company ’ s streaming platform business.
Iger pushed Disney to fully develop its streaming platform and launch Disney +, the company ’ s signature business.
But Iger admits that the measure of success has changed, and Wall Street investors are now focusing on profitability, not just subscriber growth.
Speaking at a conference at Disney ’ s headquarters in Burbank, California, Iger said, “Instead of pursuing [subscriber growth] through aggressive marketing and aggressive spending on content, we might as well start pursuing profitability. ”
“To achieve this, we have to look very, very seriously at the cost structure of all of our businesses. ”
Disney ’ s board of directors announced the appointment of Iger as CEO on November 20, following the firing of former CEO Bob Chapek.
Bao was previously the CEO of Iger ’ s choice before he left the job in 2020, but after two years at the helm of the company, he lost the support of senior executives.
Speaking on stage at Disney Studios, Iger said he returned with a sense of urgency to the Disney he had led for 15 years.
He said he had recently been listening to Lin-Manuel Miranda ’ s musical “Hamilton, ” and he was struck by the song“ What'd I Miss? ”
Iger said: “Things are not going back, things have changed a lot.
But the sun still shines brightly. "
In response to a question, Iger said it was an “unexpected surprise ” that he was asked to return to work at Disney for two years.
And first, he is most concerned with originality.
His predecessor, Bao Zhengbo, had a rough time at the helm of Disney, though it is believed that Bao had led the company through the worst of the epidemic.
Mr. Iger said he intends to maintain the hiring freeze imposed by Mr. Bao while evaluating Disney ’ s cost structure.
Iger did not disclose a timeline for the restructuring of its main business unit, Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution.

Donald Duck's 90th Birthday Voice Actor Animator Reveals Character Charm

(Central News Agency reporter Lin Honghan in Los Angeles on the 7th) Accompanied several generations of children to grow up, the classic animated character Donald Duck (Donald Duck) is 90 years old this year.
Behind the scenes, voice actors and animators were interviewed by the Central News Agency to share the unique charm of Donald Duck's unique voice and forthright personality, which have been popular around the world for nearly a century.
Donald Duck will turn 90 on June 9. Disney has invited the media to Burbank headquarters to introduce the history of Donald Duck ’ s 90 years of development, the latest animated short film and a series of contemporary products.
“I don ’ t actually use vocal cords, and the sound I make with my mouth and diaphragm is kind of like magic, ” Tony Anselmo, who has been Donald Duck ’ s voice actor for 39 years, told the Central News Agency about his pronunciation skills.
For the past 40 years, his mouth has made Donald Duck ’ s most unique sound.
Anselm is the voice actor of the second generation of Don Duck.
Donald Duck ’ s original voice actor Clarence Nash died in 1985 and was succeeded by his apprentice Anselm, who continued to voice the classic character born in 1934.
Anselm analyzed the reasons for Donald Duck's 90 years of longevity, because of its unique character: it acts as a licorice character in the story, and is prone to temper when faced with obstacles, likes to prank and have fun, and all kinds of behavior can always make the audience laugh.
Anselm said, “Donald Duck can do things that other characters can ’ t do, and it ’ s easy for the audience to resonate with him.
It is actually a happy character, likes to find fun in life, likes to prank, is a naughty ghost.
When something gets in the way of its enjoyment, it gets angry. ”
Donald Duck, along with Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Gao Fei, and Brutto, are listed as The Sensational Six.
Disney ’ s legendary animator Mark Henn, who has 43 years of experience, has retired, but recently returned to direct a short animated film starring Donald Duck called D.I.Y. Duck.
How can a character as well known around the world, like Donald Duck, retain his charm in the latest short film after 90 years? Henn said, “The most important thing is the story itself ”, as a storyteller, thinking about the situation in which Donald Duck is placed to make people resonate.
This short film by Henn is Disney ’ s celebration of Donald Duck ’ s 90th birthday, and it ’ s been 63 years since 1961 that Disney has released Donald Duck as the main character.
In the film, Donald Duck is initially just to change the light bulb, but it turns into a series of disasters.
Donald Duck has a global reach, and Henn shares his insights as the soul behind the animated film.
He said that at Disney Studios in Los Angeles, animation directors don ’ t always put the audience first when they think of films, but rather make the story as interesting as possible. The first step is to please themselves, and then make it public to the world after they are satisfied.
Henn said: “It ’ s incredible to think that our role has such a global impact.
When creating, we don ’ t take these things to heart, we just try to create the best work and create the most interesting characters.
He was surprised to learn that Donald Duck is a well-known classic cartoon character in Taiwan, “a reminder of how big the world is and how wide our audience is. ”
Donald Duck not only exists in animated films, but also makes a variety of peripheral products to accompany people.
For 90 years, the Disney Archives has collected everything from stuffed toys, dolls, comic books, food packaging, soda bottles, billboards and more.
Becky Cline, director of the Disney Collection, shared that Donald Duck has played different roles over time.
For example, in the 1940s, during World War II, Donald Duck supported the US military and encouraged people to pay taxes; in the 1950s, Donald Duck appeared in public service films promoting child safety; in the 1960s, Donald Duck became more educational, teaching children about mathematics and the history of wheels.
Today, Disney launched a series of commemorative products to celebrate Donald Duck ’ s 90th birthday, and Stephane Kardos, vice president of global character art, said that the product design “story is key ”, and a good creative idea can keep Donald Duck in line with the trend of youth 90 years later, and keep him alive in front of consumers.
