This clip from Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogushows 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.

Wednesday Addams is returning to Nevermore Academy for another year of creepy and kooky mysteries. But this time, her little brother Pugsley is joining her. Of course, Wednesday has a few ground rules for his time at Nevermore.
Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), returns to prowl the Gothic halls of Nevermore Academy, where fresh foes and woes await. This season, Wednesday must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into another year of delightfully dark and kooky mayhem. Armed with her signature razor-sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is also plunged into a new bone-chilling supernatural mystery.
This year, Wednesday is joined at school by a new member of the Addams family: her little brother Pugsley (Isaac Ordonez), who begins his own Nevermore journey. Their parents, Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez Addams (Luis Guzmán), will also have an increased presence on campus — a rare new form of torture for the fiercely independent amateur sleuth.
Familiar favorites like Wednesday’s roommate Enid (Emma Myers), frenemy Bianca (Joy Sunday), barista by day and murderous Hyde by night Tyler (Hunter Doohan), Uncle Fester (Fred Armisen) and, of course, Thing (Victor Dorobantu) are returning. They will be joined by a few new faces, such as Grandmama Hester Frump (Joanna Lumley) and Principal Dort (Steve Buscemi).

Most of the trailers and clips for Marvel'sThe Fantastic 4: First Stepshave been fairly lighthearted, celebrating the family and their world. But this clip of the Silver Surfer introduces the villain.

Each new glimpse of Marvel'sThe Fantastic 4: First Steps is amazing. It looks so delightfully retro and all about family. This clipshows the importance of Sunday dinners together to this family.
Pixar'sElio looks like another amazing animatedmovie about family and fitting in. In this clip, Elio's aunt Olga is more than a little overwhelmed with her new responsibilities.
It appears that Pixar has done it again. Eliolooks so fun and cute! In this clip, Elio is beyond excited to have finally been abducted by aliens.

Disney'slive-actionLilo & Stitchlooks so cute, and fluffy! It appears to be a fantastic remake of a beloved movie. This clip is from the scene where Lilo first meets Stitch, the talking "dog".
Lilo & Stitch arrives in theaters today, May 23rd.
I'm so glad Disney kept so many of the songs from the original Lilo & Stitchin the new live-action film, but with a twist. They re-recorded "Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride" with singer Iam Tongi, but once again included the Kamehameha Schools Children's Chorus. The result is just as wonderful as the original.
With season 2 of the Star Wars series Andorheading to DisneyPlus soon, I finally sat down to watch season 1. It was not what I was expecting, it was more. Andor tells the story of Cassian Andor and how, no matter how hard he tries to avoid it, events are pushing him to choose a side, to become a Rebel. Caution: Spoilers Ahead!
There are a few truly memorable speeches in this series. This one is the speech Cassian's mother, Maarva, recorded in B2EMO's memory banks to be played at her funeral. It's powerful enough to spark a rebellion on Ferrix.
Andor season 1 is available now on DisneyPlus. Season 2 arrives on April 22nd.

Star Wars: The Acolytelooks more amazing with each clip. I can't wait to watch this new glimpse into what came before the Star Wars stories we know and love.

Marvel'sWhat If...? series is always interesting. All nine episodes of Season 2 have now been released, and I think I enjoyed it even more than Season 1. "What If... Kahhori Reshaped The World?" was definitely my favorite this season. So many of the episodes tied into each other and drew you in that the season finale came far too soon. Fortunately, Marvel has already teased Season 3. It looks like the Red Guardian and the Winter Soldier are going on a road trip.
The release date for What If...?Season 3 has not yet been announced.
