The first trailer for the series Renegade Nell has arrived and it looks fantastic. It's an intriguing blend of history, magic, murder, and highway robbery.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney: 

England, 1705: Nell Jackson returns from war to her family in Tottenham. Aided by plucky sprite Billy Blind, who gives her fighting superpowers, Nell takes on the local landowner's bullying son Thomas Blancheford but finds herself framed for murder. Forced on the run with her sisters Roxy and George, Nell becomes a highwaywoman. But as word of Nell's extraordinary power spreads, she attracts the attention of the sinister Earl of Poynton, who is hatching a magical plot against the Queen of England. Set on a collision course with Poynton, Nell and Billy realize that her quest for justice stretches further than she ever imagined, and that in order to clear her name, Nell first has to defeat Poynton and save the country.

Renegade Nell arrives on DisneyPlus on March 29.

More Star Tours Adventures Are Around The Corner

Disney

"Star Tours: The Adventures Continue" is still one of my favorite rides at Hollywood Studios. It is a bit wild, and exciting, and for the last several years has had a multitude of combinations that can make up each journey. And now, Disney has announced that even more characters and adventures are headed to the ride.

Beginning on April 5, locations and urgent transmissions from Ahsoka, The Mandalorian, and Andor will be added to the lineup, bringing the the total number of possible combinations to more than 250. These new additions will be a part of the rides at Disneyland,  Disney World, and Disneyland Paris. I can't wait to see Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, Din Djarin and Grogu appear with messages about the Rebel Spy.

I'm Just Ken at the Oscars

ABC

I always love watching the performances for Best Song at the Oscars. This year, Ryan Gosling performed "I'm Just Ken" from Barbie with a fantastically over-the-top number that included nods to classic Hollywood movies like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Dames. It was a seriously silly delight.

X-Men '97 Is Just Like Old Times

Marvel

X-Men '97 arrives on DisneyPlus on March 20. X-Men: The Animated Series is currently available on DisneyPlus.

Woody in Rodeo Roundup BBQ

The decor in Rodeo Roundup BBQ in Toy Story Land is amazing. Much like Toy Story Mania, you enter the world of Andy's toys as if you were a toy as well. And, of course, Andy has added a few of his own special touches,  like this drawing of Woody riding Bullseye. 

Inside Out 2 Trailer

The first full trailer and poster for Inside Out 2 are here and they look hilarious. In this sequel, Riley is experiencing all new emotions, and they're taking over her world.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney and Pixar:

The little voices inside Riley’s head know her inside and out—but next summer, everything changes when Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” introduces a new Emotion: Anxiety. According to director Kelsey Mann, the new character promises to stir things up within headquarters. “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” said Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.”

Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone. Maya Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Liza Lapira as Disgust. 

Inside Out 2 arrives in theaters on June 14th.
