Scooby-Doo Is Returning To TV With A New Series

Hanna-Barbera

An all-new Scooby-Doo series is coming to Cartoon Network. Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? takes the Mystery Inc. gang back to their roots: solving silly crimes with the help of comedians, sports stars, musicians, and comic book super heroes. I must say, this feels a bit nostalgic, and I love it. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Here's the official synopsis from Hanna-Barbera:

In this new animated series, Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang - Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy - are facing their toughest mysteries yet... but have no fear because help is on the way! Each week, the gang is joined by a different celebrity guest and together, those "meddling kids" will get to the bottom of any mystery. Celebrity guest stars include NBA superstar Chris Paul, comedian Ricky Gervais, Weird Al Yankovic, and even Batman himself (voiced by Kevin Conroy). Scooby-Doo and Guess Who is premiering on the Boomerang streaming service on June 27, with episodes coming to Cartoon Network this July.

Can You Feel The Love Tonight in This Lion King TV Spot?

Disney

The latest TV spot for Disney's live-action The Lion King features Simba and Nala singing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" interspersed with scenes of Mufasa telling young Simba about the kings of old.

It looks quite stunning. Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Disney’s “The Lion King,” directed by Jon Favreau, journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. Staying true to the classic story, Favreau utilizes pioneering filmmaking techniques to bring the iconic characters to the big screen in a whole new way. Also featuring James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and Billy Eichner as Timon, Disney’s “The Lion King” opens in U.S. theatres on July 19, 2019.

It sound like another fascinating story. I can't wait to learn more about it.

The Edison Review

I recently had the chance to try lunch at The Edison and I must say, I was fairly impressed. The food is good and the atmosphere is excellent.

A giant clock in the lobby.

Although I didn't have a reservation, it was easy to get a seat around 11 am.

Gears and machinery surround the main staircase.

The hostess, who was dressed as a flapper, guided us down the grand staircase to the main dining room.

The leather wrapped bar is quite stylish.

We were seated at a table near the bar, which is very Art Deco. The dining room has two separate bars and is broken up into several different spaces within the room.

The dining room has a stage for a live band.

On special weekend nights, this part of the dining room becomes a dance floor with a live band. The rest of the time, it's a dining room and scenes from old movies and cartoons are projected on the wall.

DB 'Clothesline Candied Bacon'

After looking over a decent sized menu, we decided to try the DB 'Clothesline Candied Bacon'. The maple and black pepper bacon arrives clipped to a clothesline with actual wooden clothespins. It's accompanied by sweet and spicy pickle and fruit mustarda. The bacon is crisp, slightly sweet, and very peppered. The pickles were a little too spicy for me, but the mustarda was delicious.

The dining room is very 1920s, which I loved.

Next up, the entrees. We ordered three: The Edison Burger, Organic Tomsto Soup and Gooey Grilled Cheese, and Unibroue Beer-battered Fish & Chips. They were all delicious.

The Edison Burger

The Edison Burger is a blend of sirloin, short rib, and brisket with Cabot cheddar, crispy onions, smoked bacon, house-made pickles, lettuce, tomato, and special sauce. The burger, which comes with a ridiculous amount of fries, is absolutely huge! It was also absolutely fantastic.

Organic Tomato Soup and Gooey Grilled Cheese

The Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese are also generous portions. The soup is wonderfully tomatoey and the grilled cheese is made up of fontina, muenster, gruyere, and Alpine swiss on buttered sourdough. I'm not a big tomato soup fan, but the sandwich was a big hit.

Unibroue Beer-battered Fish and Chips

Finally, the Unibroue Beer-battered Fish and Chips. The battered cod filets are delightfully flaky and perfectly fried. The tartar sauce is wonderful and the fish is accompanied by a large amount of crispy house-made fries.

The second bar is very classy as well.

The Edison is a little on the pricey side, but the portion sizes make the prices seem more appropriate. The portions are large enough that we didn't even consider dessert, although there are a few I would love to try next time. I would definitely recommend trying The Edison on your next trip to Disney Springs.

The First Full Trailer For Frozen II Is Here!

Disney

The first full length trailer for Frozen II is here! It looks like it's going to be a fantastic adventure. In Frozen II, Anna and Elsa must travel north through enchanted woods to uncover a secret in their past.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Why was Elsa born with magical powers? The answer is calling her and threatening her kingdom. Together with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven, she'll set out on a dangerous but remarkable journey. In“Frozen,” Elsa feared her powers were too much for the world. In “Frozen 2,” she must hope they are enough. From the Academy Award®-winning team—directors Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, producer Peter Del Vecho and songwriters Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez—and featuring the voices of Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff and Josh Gad, “Frozen 2” opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 22, 2019.

A New Frozen II Poster Has Been Revealed

Disney

A new poster for Frozen II has been released and it looks a bit ominous. Anna and Elsa are surrounded by swirling fog, with very determined looks on their faces.

Toy Story Treats At Hollywood Studios

Toy Story 4 is just around the corner, so fun new Toy Story inspired treats have been popping up at Hollywood Studios. This Forky eclair has an edible topper that declares "I'm homemade." It's filled with an orange cream over a chocolate ganache. It may be my new favorite Disney dessert because it's very orangey but not overwhelmingly sweet. The Forky eclair can be found at Backlot Express.

The angry Hamm cookie is hilarious! It's two giant sugar cookies around a chocolate ganache with sour cherry filling in the center. The whole cookie sandwich is dipped in pale pink coating with a modeling chocolate nose. It's sweeter than I'd like, but still very good. And it's huge! Definitely one to share. The angry Hamm cookie can be found at The Trolley Car Cafe.

This last Pixar inspired treat can be found at Woody's Lunch Box in Toy Storyland. It's a blueberry and lemon Lunch Box Tart with a Luxo ball decoration. The tart is very fruity and not super sweet. I really enjoyed it. Which Toy Story treat will you try?

The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy From Toy Story 4

Disney/Pixar

Randy Newman has done it again. He has written memorable songs for every Toy Story movie, including the upcoming Toy Story 4. His latest song is called "The Ballad of the Lonesome Cowboy." It seems to be all about Woody and how having friends has changed his life.

The soundtrack for Toy Story 4 is available now. The movie arrives in theaters on June 21.

These Toy Story 4 TV Spots Are Hilarious

Pixar

The latest Toy Story 4 TV spots are hilarious. In the first spot, "Making a New Friend", we see Bonnie creating her new friend Forky.

In the second spot, "Meet Forky", Woody introduces the toys to Bonnie's new friend. I love that the first thing Rex notices is how long his arms are.

Toy Story 4 arrives in theaters on June 21.

The Lion King "Come Home" TV Spot

Disney

In the latest TV spot for Disney's live-action the Lion King, we finally hear the animals speak. Nala, voiced by Beyonce, tells Simba that its time for him to come home.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Disney’s “The Lion King, directed by Jon Favreau (“The Jungle Book”), journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.

Here's Your First Look At Pixar's Onward

Pixar

Pixar's next project sounds quite unique. Onward is the story of two elf brothers who go on a "grand and glorious quest", or perhaps "just a really fast and strange errand." Either way, they're looking for old-fashioned magic in a modern world.

It looks fun, right? And it's got quite the cast: Tom Holland, Chris Pratt, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Octavia Spencer. Here's the official synopsis from Pixar:

Set in a suburban fantasy world, Disney and Pixar’s “Onward” introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there. Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new original feature film is directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae—the team behind “Monsters University.”

Pixar

Onward cometh to theaters on March 6, 2020.
