The Fantastic 4: First Steps Music

Marvel

Composer Michael Giacchino helped to kick off the premiere of Marvel's The Fantastic 4: First Steps with an amazing orchestral performance. The music included the Marvel Theme and the theme for Fantastic 4, which is delightfully unique and somewhat retro.

The Fantastic 4: First Steps is in theaters now.

Willie Nelson Quote

"We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the common denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul."

The first teaser trailer for season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians has arrived and it looks fantastic. I loved season 1, so I'm really looking forward to season 2. This time, Percy and his pals Annabeth and Grover must take on the forces of Kronos and travel the Sea of Monsters.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney: 

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on “The Sea of Monsters” - the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series by award-winning author Rick Riordan. Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians arrives on DisneyPlus on December 10th.

Starlight: Dream the Night Away Parade

Disney

Disney World's new nighttime parade looks like a dream come true. It reminds me of an updated version of the Main Street Electrical Parade, which has long been a fan favorite. Traveling down the parade route from Main Street USA to Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom are many familiar characters covered in twinkling lights, each with a dream or wish.

The Starlight: Dream The Night Away Parade can be seen most evenings at 9 & 11 PM.
