The first trailer for the series Renegade Nell has arrived and it looks fantastic. It's an intriguing blend of history, magic, murder, and highway robbery.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney: 

England, 1705: Nell Jackson returns from war to her family in Tottenham. Aided by plucky sprite Billy Blind, who gives her fighting superpowers, Nell takes on the local landowner's bullying son Thomas Blancheford but finds herself framed for murder. Forced on the run with her sisters Roxy and George, Nell becomes a highwaywoman. But as word of Nell's extraordinary power spreads, she attracts the attention of the sinister Earl of Poynton, who is hatching a magical plot against the Queen of England. Set on a collision course with Poynton, Nell and Billy realize that her quest for justice stretches further than she ever imagined, and that in order to clear her name, Nell first has to defeat Poynton and save the country.

More Star Tours Adventures Are Around The Corner

More Star Tours Adventures Are Around The Corner
Disney

"Star Tours: The Adventures Continue" is still one of my favorite rides at Hollywood Studios. It is a bit wild, and exciting, and for the last several years has had a multitude of combinations that can make up each journey. And now, Disney has announced that even more characters and adventures are headed to the ride.


Beginning on April 5, locations and urgent transmissions from Ahsoka, The Mandalorian, and Andor will be added to the lineup, bringing the the total number of possible combinations to more than 250. These new additions will be a part of the rides at DisneylandDisney World, and Disneyland Paris. I can't wait to see Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, Din Djarin and Grogu appear with messages about the Rebel Spy.

I'm Just Ken at the Oscars

I'm Just Ken at the Oscars
ABC

I always love watching the performances for Best Song at the Oscars. This year, Ryan Gosling performed "I'm Just Ken" from Barbie with a fantastically over-the-top number that included nods to classic Hollywood movies like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Dames. It was a seriously silly delight.
