The Birdmobile of the Enchanted Tiki Room

The birds of Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room in the Magic Kingdom are quite an exotic bunch. The showgirls on the Birdmobile are white cockatoos named Collette, Suzette, Mimi, Gigi, Fifi, and Josephine. Together with the other performers, they sing "Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing."

In this behind-the-scenes featurette for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we get a quick glimpse of the practical stunts in the film. The opening action sequence looks pretty incredible.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel: 

Four years have passed since the events of "No Way Home", and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. 

Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

The cast includes: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters on July 31st.

The Minions are back and doing what they do best... causing chaos and mayhem wherever they go. This time, they go to extremes just to film a movie.

Here's the official synopsis from Illumination: 

This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created. 

The acclaimed voice cast includes Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges, two-time Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch and Trey Parker. The cast also includes Bobby Moynihan and Phil LaMarr.

Minions & Monsters arrives in theaters on July 1st.

Wildwood Teaser Trailer

LAIKA

The first trailer for LAIKA's Wildwood has arrived and it looks incredible. Young Prue must enter a magical fairytale world to rescue her baby brother.

Here's the official synopsis from LAIKA:

After her baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows, headstrong teenager Prue McKeel launches a desperate rescue mission into the Impassable Wilderness — an enchanted forest hidden just beyond Portland, Oregon. Joined by her hapless but loyal classmate Curtis Mehlberg, Prue navigates a world of talking animals, bandits and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition. As the pair is drawn into a conflict threatening the balance of the forest itself, Prue must discover strength and belief she never knew she possessed. If she hopes to save her brother and protect Wildwood’s fragile future, she will have to risk everything.

From Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning LAIKA, Wildwood is a sweeping adventure about love, sacrifice, and the magic that reveals itself when we dare to look beyond the familiar.

Wildwood arrives in theaters on October 23rd.

Bring Me His Helmet

Lucasfilm

This clip from Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu shows that the Hutt Twins are back to cause more trouble. This time, they've captured Din Djarin and removed his helmet. I don't think this will end well for them.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu arrives in theaters on May 22nd.

Living With The Land Ambience

Disney

This video is so soothing. It is an hour-long journey through Living With The Land at EPCOT.

I love riding Living With the Land. It's fun to see what changes have arrived in the greenhouses each trip.
