Welcome To Hexe, The World of Witches

Have you ever felt like you were a misfit in your own life? In Disney’s next animated movie, young Billie Doe feels that way, until she discovers something unexpected: a magical world where she just might fit in.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney: 

The new trailer for "Hexed" introduces the impulsive and unconventional teenage girl Billie (Hailee Steinfeld) and her cautious mother, Alice (Rashida Jones). When Billie accidentally unleashes secret magical abilities, she’s hurtled out of suburbia and into a magical realm called Hexe, where she’s greeted by an enchanted feather quill pen, Ms. Quill (Tracy Ullman) and a magical journal, Elias Quire (Stephen Fry). As Billie’s spectacle-filled journey unfolds, she uncovers family mysteries that could change the magical world of witches forever.

Hexed arrives in theaters on November 25th.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer & Poster

Marvel/Sony

A new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has arrived. It looks like Peter Parker has really had it rough since the world forgot him. And now, his mutation is evolving.

Here's the official synopsis from Marvel & Sony: 

It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.

The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters on July 31st. A special Amazon Prime early screening hits theaters on July 29th.

The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter LEGO

The LEGO sets from The Mandalorian are so fun. I recently acquired the N-1 Starfighter set from a few years ago. It has four minifigs: Din Djarin, Grogu, Peli Motto, and a tiny BD Droid. It's a great addition to my ever-growing Star Wars LEGO collection.

The first teaser trailer and poster for Pixar's Gatto have arrived. This animated movie looks hilarious: it's a mob story starring cats, set in Venice.

Here's the official synopsis from Pixar: 

Mark Ruffalo has joined the voice cast as the scrappy black cat Nero, and Laurence Fishburne will voice the ruthless mob boss cat Rocco. The teaser trailer introduces Nero and Rocco as they question another cat in a funny interrogation scene.

In “Gatto,” after years of maneuvering the canal-ridden, superstitious city of Venice, Italy, Nero begins to question whether he’s lived the right lives. Indebted to Rocco, the local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a quandary and is forced to forge a truly unexpected friendship that may finally lead him to his purpose—unless Venice gets the better of him first.

Gatto arrives in theaters on March 5, 2027.
