Black Widow and Cruella will be released in theaters and as Disney+ Premier movies.  Pixar’s Luca will skip theaters and will be a regular Disney+ release.

We did end up getting Raya. My daughter liked it.

Michael Stuhlbarg, Boardwalk Empire's embodiment of Arnold Rothstein, fittingly plays an evil Purdue exec. This is gonna be good.

I know WHY you posted the trailer but it still makes me giggle seeing the Hulu tag in the Disney+ thread (and yes I know Disney owns the majority stake in Hulu)

From the blurb, I don't think we're getting this on D+ immediately in the States. I don't know if it'll be launched on Hulu instead or what.

I saw the trailer a few weeks ago - in the states it will be on Hulu

[Curt McGirt]

I really didn't think about it too hard, I just saw "Michael Keaton" and decided to check out the trailer haha

Here's the trailer for Muppets Haunted Mansion:

 

 

[NikoBaltimore]

That's gonna be so much fun. Also might be worth watching "Behind the Attraction" for Haunted Mansion before this as that had some neat stories in it. 

[Leonidas]

Don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but on Disney there is this show "Only Murders In The Building", it's a light entertainment crime comedy starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez.

It's just something I put on for 30 mins every week while I eat my dinner, but the most recent episode was really good because it was entirely silent, mostly coming from the point of view of a deaf character. Really put it into perspective how difficult a lot of life would be without actually hearing voices or other noises. Anyway I just wanted to put the show over for doing something different for one episode.

[Swift]

We've been bingeing it lately. It's a fun show. I don't think I've seen too much of Selena Gomez, but she seems like a poor actor here, all unexpressive and monotone. That might just be how she's playing the character, because I assume coming from the Disney TV sitcom world (I think?) she'd have to have been bouncy and peppy before.

I found the episode in question a bit too gimmicky tbh. I'm glad someone is trying something different, but I guess I found it a bit too goofy to have silence in scenes where the deaf character wasn't present at all.

[Casey]

Isn't that show on Hulu?

[Swift]

Maybe in the US? It's on Star on the Disney+ platform in Canada.

I don't disagree with this but I thought Haunted Mansion was the best Muppet thing in a while. I like how they overlaid elements of the show (like the dance segments) into the Mansion and the plot. Both kids were pretty into it (range of 4 and 9) which is not usually the case for Muppet things.
