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.

All images: LAIKA

LAIKA's next animated movie is a magical adventure called WildwoodIn this behind-the-scenes featurette, we get a closer look at some of the incredible birds of the Avian Principality.


Here's the official synopsis from LAIKA: 

Based on the novel by The Decemberists' Colin Meloy, Wildwood is a tale of love, loss, sacrifice, and secrets, and of the magic you can find on your doorstep, if you’re willing to look for it.

Beyond Portland’s city limits lies Wildwood. You’re not supposed to go there. You’re not even supposed to know it exists. But Prue McKeel is about to enter this enchanted wonderland. Her baby brother Mac has been taken by a murder of crows into the forest’s depths, and she – along with her hapless classmate Curtis – is going to get him back. Prue might think she’s too old for fairytales, but she’s just found herself at the center of one. One filled with strange talking animals, roguish bandits, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions.

The Avian Principality rises above the forest as a kingdom of wings and wind, where the rulers of the skies watch over the hidden world below.

Disneyland Handcrafted

Have you ever wondered about all that went into the building of Disneyland? Most fans have likely watched the special Walt had made back in 1955 about the park, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. It turns out, they had filmed a lot of the work that went into creating the Happiest Place on Earth. And now, Leslie Iwerks (who has quite the family history with Disney) has brought it all together for a new special: Disneyland Handcrafted. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Disneyland Handcrafted.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney

The magic of Walt Disney’s dream unfolds when Disneyland Handcrafted, a feature documentary from Leslie Iwerks, takes viewers on an unforgettable journey through the exhilarating year that gave rise to The Happiest Place on Earth. 

Disneyland Handcrafted reveals the extraordinary artistry and grit it took hundreds of craftspeople to bring Walt Disney’s impossible dream project of Disneyland to fruition – from groundbreaking to Opening Day on July 17, 1955.

The documentary captures both the legacy and nostalgia of the year leading up to the creation of the Disneyland Resort. Through newly unearthed materials from the Walt Disney Archives, Iwerks and her team uncovered long-forgotten 16mm film reels and audio recordings. The result is an unpolished, fly-on-the-wall perspective that captures what was truly happening behind the scenes, told through the firsthand accounts of the artists, craftsmen, and Imagineers who were there.

Since opening over 70 years ago, Disneyland laid the groundwork for a massive global industry that is currently in the biggest era of growth, making this film a truly special treat for Disney fans.

Welcome, Foolish Mortals

Welcome, Foolish Mortals
Disney

The Haunted Mansion is one of the most iconic Disney rides. There are five ghostly haunts around the world: Haunted Mansion in Disneyland, Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland, Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris, and Mystic Manor in Hong Kong Disneyland. Each mansion is unique, with the Phantom Manor being the spookiest in my opinion. The latest episode of We Call It Imagineering goes behind the scenes of these spectral abodes that have kept us fascinated for over 50 years.


"We have 999 happy haunts here,
but there's room for a thousand. 
Any volunteers?"

One Last Adventure

Stranger Things: One Last Adventure
All images: Netflix

The final season of Stranger Things begins in just 2 months. It has taken nine years to tell the stories of a group of kids from Hawkins, Indiana, and the ending looks fairly epic. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the making of season 5.


Here's the official synopsis from Netflix

The fall of 1987. Hawkins, Indiana, is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: to find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s (Noah Schnapp) disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.

Stranger Things Season 5 will be released in 3 parts on Netflix.
Volume 1 arrives on November 26th.
Volume 2 arrives on December 25th.
