Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Fireworks

No matter what they're called (Hallowishes or Not So Spooky Spectacular), the fireworks at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party are still my favorite. And while they're great when viewed from the front of Cinderella’s Castle (mostly so you can see the projections as well), they're pretty spectacular from Frontierland as well. 

Paddington Bear Returns

StudioCanal

A new trailer had arrived for Paddington in Peru and it looks delightful. Paddington and his family, the Browns, are off on a quest through the jungles of Peru to discover why his Aunt Lucy has gone missing.

Here's the official synopsis from StudioCanal:

Get ready for the journey of a lifetime as "Paddington In Peru" brings the world’s most beloved bear back to his roots, his homeland Peru. Following the adventures of "Paddington" and "Paddington 2", Paddington is still living happily with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens. When he receives a letter from the Reverend Mother, the blithe guitar strumming nun who runs the Home for Retired Bears, informing him that Aunt Lucy misses him dearly, he knows he simply must visit her as soon as possible.

With his shiny new British passport in hand, Paddington is joined by the Browns, including the ever-resourceful Mrs. Bird, on an epic journey that none of them will ever forget. Along the way the group meet new friends, including the dashing riverboat captain Hunter and his daughter Gina. They join them on their thrilling escapades through the Amazon rainforest and up to the stunning mountain peaks of Peru. Together they encounter unexpected challenges, and Paddington begins to uncover surprising secrets about his past. Throughout the ups and downs, his unwavering optimism and kindness shine brightly in this brand-new Paddington cinematic adventure that reinforces the importance of family, and the joy of embracing one's heritage.

Paddington in Peru arrives in UK and Irish cinemas on November 8th and in US theaters on January 17, 2025.
