New Behind the Scenes of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

The cast of “Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil” takes you behind the scenes in this brand new featurette, which includes some new never-before-seen footage for the upcoming film!

“Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil” opens on October 18th.

“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” is a fantasy adventure that picks up several years after “Maleficent,” in which audiences learned of the events that hardened the heart of Disney’s most notorious villain and drove her to curse a baby Princess Aurora. The film continues to explore the complex relationship between the horned fairy and the soon-to-be Queen as they form new alliances and face new adversaries in their struggle to protect the moors and the magical creatures that reside within.

Disney To Make Live-Action Fox & The Hound

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney+

Those who grew up watching The Fox and the Hound should get ready to sob all over again.

Disney is reportedly in the early stages of developing a live-action remake of the 1981 animated classic for a new generation of fans. Though nothing has been confirmed by the studio as of yet, the film is likely to land on the Disney Plus streaming platform.

The voices of Mickey Rooney, Kurt Russell, Pearl Bailey, Jack Albertson, Sandy Duncan, Jeanette Nolan, Pat Buttram, John Fiedler, John McIntire, Dick Bakalyan, Paul Winchell, Keith Mitchell, and Corey Feldman were all featured in the film. It’s unknown who will make up the cast this time around, but it’s likely that Disney will manage to nab some big stars.

Since many of the characters are animals, the reboot will be likely be done in a style similar to the highly successful reimagining of The Lion King. This means that all of the characters onscreen will probably be hyper-realistically animated. Unlike the aforementioned film, however, there are actually humans in the original Fox and the Hound as well. Because of this, the studio will likely blend CGI with real actors, just as they did for Dumbo and are expected to do for the upcoming Bambi remake.

Stay tuned to any new updates on this or other projects.
