Big Hero 6: The Series

Disney

Big Hero 6 is coming to DisneyXD as an animated series. Picking up where the film ended, the story follows the adventures of Hiro, Baymax, and all their friends from the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.

Here's the official description from Disney:

As the new kid at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, Hiro faces daunting academic challenges at the prestigious “nerd school” and the social trials of being the “little man on campus.” Luckily, Hiro has his brains, his ingenuity and his best friend bot to help him find his way. But it’s off campus where things get dangerous. Along with neat freak Wasabi, bubbly mad scientist Honey Lemon, fanboy Fred and no nonsense Go Go, the friends form an unlikely, but awesome super hero team – Big Hero 6. Together they face madness and mayhem as a colorful array of science-enhanced villains threaten San Fransokyo.

And here's a special clip from Comic-Con showing a scene from the series.

Big Hero 6: The Series will debut on DisneyXD in fall 2017. 

DuckTales Woo-oo

Disney

If you grew up in the late '80s, you probably remember watching DuckTales. The cartoon series followed the adventures of Donald Duck's nephew's, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and their great-uncle, Scrooge McDuck.

Disney has created a new series, loosely based on the original, which will feature an amazing cast, including David Tennant as Uncle Scrooge, Danny Pudi as Huey, Ben Schwartz as Dewey, Bobby Moynihan as Louie, Kate Micucci as Webby, Toks Olagundoye as Mrs. Beakley, Beck Bennett as Lauchpad McQuack, and Tony Anselmo as Donald Duck.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Featuring a distinct animation style inspired by the classic Carl Barks’ comic designs, DuckTales chronicles the high-flying adventures of Duckburg’s most famous trillionaire Scrooge McDuck, his mischief-making triplet grandnephews – Huey, Dewey and Louie, temperamental nephew Donald Duck and the trusted McDuck Manor team: big-hearted, fearless chauffer/pilot Launchpad McQuack; no-nonsense housekeeper Mrs. Beakley; and Mrs. Beakley’s granddaughter, Webby Vanderquack, resident adventurer and the triplet’s newfound fierce friend.

Disney

The story unfolds as Donald Duck reluctantly takes Huey, Dewey and Louie to the home of their reclusive great-uncle Scrooge McDuck. Enthralled by their once-legendary great-uncle and the wonder of McDuck Manor, the triplets and Webby learn of long-kept family secrets and unleash totems from Scrooge’s epic past, sending the family on an adventure of a lifetime to the Lost City of Atlantis.

DuckTales will debut with a 24 hour marathon of the first episode on DisneyXD August 12.

Quote of the Week

An object cannot make you good or evil. The temptation of power, forbidden knowledge, even the desire to do good can lead some down that path. But only you can change yourself.

Star Wars Rebels Season 4

Lucasfilm

Well, it had to happen eventually. It looks like Star Wars Rebels will end next year at the end of Season 4. I've loved watching this show, which takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. I'll be sad to see it go.

DuckTales Reboot

Disney

An all new version of DuckTales is coming to DisneyXD next summer. It looks like all of your favorite characters will be returning, but with new voices. Bean was most excited about David Tennant as the voice of Scrooge McDuck. In a fun nod to the original series, the new cast of DuckTales sang the old theme song.

DuckTales debuts in summer 2017.

Lego Star Wars: the Freemaker Adventures

Disney

Bean and I have started watching the latest Lego Star Wars TV series: the Freemaker Adventures. This show is absolutely hysterical! I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I am. The in-jokes and ridiculous situations are a perfect fit for the Lego Star Wars Universe.

The story takes place between the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The Freemakers, Kordi, Xander, and Rowan, run a salvage and repair shop, selling parts for spacecraft. They, along with their droid Roger, are unwillingly searching for Kyber crystals, which can be used in lightsabers. This leads them into many dangerous, not to mention humorous, situations. I can't wait to see how it all turns out. Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures airs weekdays at 10 am ET on DisneyXD.

Princess Leia Is Coming To Star Wars Rebels

Disney

Are you a fan of Star Wars Rebels? Bean and I love it, especially the twists and turns the story takes with familiar characters. And it looks like we're in for more surprises on tonight's episode. I can't wait to see a teenage Princess Leia's first appearance!

Star Wars Rebels: "A Princess on Lothal" airs tonight at 9 pm ET on DisneyXD.

Star Wars Rebels

Disney

Bean and I love Star Wars Rebels. I got her watching the movies when she was quite little and we both love seeing what new stories Lucasfilm has come up with to fill out the Star Wars universe. Star Wars Rebels, which recently started it's second season, takes place in the time between the third and fourth movie.

The rebels are a ragtag group of misfits with one common goal: stop the Empire at any price. They're led by Hera, a Twi'lek pilot, and Kanan, a Jedi Knight. A Mandalorian artist and explosives expert named Sabine, a Lasat warrior named Zeb, a Padawan from Lothal named Ezra, and a droid called Chopper round out the crew of the Ghost. Together, they strive to defeat the Empire and restore peace to the galaxy.

Along the way, they must evade the Inquisitors who seek to destroy the few remaining Jedi. This season, a new Inquisitor will be introduced: the Seventh Sister. She is devious and cunning, as well as ruthless in her search for Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker's former Padawan who helped the crew of the Ghost at the end of last season. The Seventh Sister will be voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame. (The funny thing about that is, her husband Freddie Prinze, Jr., is the voice of Kanan.)

Here's a sneak peak of the Seventh Sister,  and a little clip of Sarah's view of the role.

Halloween is coming to the Disney Channels!

Disney

It's nearly time for Halloween again, and that means movies, magic, and fun, fun, fun! Disney Junior is set to kick off their Boo For You Halloween programming starting this today. Special episodes of Sofia the First, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Doc McStuffins will appear each Friday all month long.

The Disney Channel is also planning a special Monstober line-up featuring Halloween episodes from several of their popular series as well as Disney Channel original movies. New episodes of Dog with a Blog, Girl Meets World, and Jessie air tonight. Phineas and Ferb scare up some fun in "Night of the Living Pharmacists" alongside a new Gravity Falls on Saturday night, while Austin and Ally and Liv and Maddie will be on Sunday. Some of the movies this month include Under Wraps, Girl vs. Monster,  both Twitches films, and all four Halloweentown movies. And since it's Disney,  there will most likely be a new Halloween movie as well.

Disney XD will also get in on the fun beginning October 17.  Lab Rats, Mighty Med, the 7D, and Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. will all have special Halloween episodes. An animated cross-over featuring the cast of Jessie and Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man: Web-Warriors is also set to debut in October.

With all of the new episodes and great movies,  it should be a Monstober to remember. And since Halloween is my favorite time of year,  I can't wait!
