Best Animated Shows on Netflix to Stream

Animation has never been in a better place. Over the past few years, with the advent of streaming channels, animation has been able to do things previously unseen for episodic television. The stories have become more complex, the characters deeper, and we’ve even been starting to see more and more shows geared toward adults!  It’s a good time to be a fan of animation so we’ve rounded up some of the best-animated series that are available on Netflix right now. Some are action series, some comedy, but all are quality in one way or the other. Fire up the queue…

Captain Marvel 2 Release Date Revealed

In the slew of release date changes, comes a release date announcement… for 2022. Disney/Marvel has announced that Captain Marvel 2 will hit theaters on July 8th, 2022. Sure, sounds like a nice date. It also honestly feels like it’s about three centuries from now, but it’s nice to get a release date announcement that feels safely outside of the possible pandemic window. (Please let 2022 be outside the pandemic window…) For those keeping track at home, Captain Marvel 2 will take the slot of a previously untitled Marvel movie that was slated to open on July 29, 2022. Was…

Black Widow Moves to November, Pushes Eternals to February

In not entirely surprising news, Disney is starting to claim some of the shifting release calendar real estate in 2020 and 2021. Chief among its biggest moves is the revelation that the Mouse House has pushed Black Widow from its previous May 6 launch date to Nov. 6. The announcement, which accompanies news of Mulan moving to July and Jungle Cruise being delayed a full year until summer 2021, has resulted in Marvel’s entire movie release calendar getting shifted and shaken. Indeed, the Nov. 6 release date that Black Widow moves to was previously staked out by fellow Marvel Studios…

Artemis Fowl Movie to Debut on Disney+

Artemis Fowl is the latest Hollywood film to have its planned rollout changed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney announced today that the adaptation based on the bestselling Eoin Colfer kids fantasy series would be happening not in cinemas, as planned, but on Disney+. The film was set to be released in theaters on May 29th. As of this writing, there was no date for the Disney+ release, but I would imagine it will be sooner rather than later. We really are living in a new age of movie distribution. Perhaps we were already heading towards more direct-to-streaming…

Ant-Man 3 Lands Screenwriter From Rick & Morty Team

Although Ant-Man 3 has yet to appear on any official Marvel Studios release schedule — except maybe for that big, years-spanning whiteboard in Kevin Feige’s office that we’ve all heard about — a script for the movie has been commissioned and a writer has been hired to pen it. That writer is Jeff Loveness, who has been a co-producer and member of the writers’ room for the animated Rick & Morty series for much of the last year or so. Loveness got his start writing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! From 2011 to 2015, and his other credits include the Oscars,…

Candyman Release Date Delayed Until Fall

Universal Pictures has pushed back the release of its Candyman remake/reboot from June 12 to September 25 of this year, according to Variety. Candyman was actually one of the last holdouts on Universal’s upcoming slate. Tentpoles such as F9: The Fast and Furious Saga, Minions: The Rise of Gru and Sing 2 have been moved to later this year, next year or TBA, while this month’s Trolls World Tour is still meeting its April 10 release date, only on demand. Other major spring and summer releases that have been shifted into the future include Black Widow, Mulan, Wonder Woman 1984,…

How Shifting MCU Release Dates Could Impact Spider-Man 3

As reported earlier today, Marvel Studios and its parent company Disney unveiled a slew of new release dates for upcoming films, primarily the next seven theatrical entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not surprisingly, the interconnected nature of the MCU means that one release date change has a domino effect on the rest of the slate. So as Black Widow moves from May 2020 to November, then Eternals moves from November to February 2021 and so on (all the details are at the link above). But there is one outlier in all this: the third Spider-Man adventure starring Tom Holland…

Marvel’s Shang-Chi Movie Gets New Release Date

The coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the film industry in ways big and small, and not even the biggest, most successful franchise behemoth of the last decade is immune. Disney announced new release dates for every single one of Marvel Studios’ MCU Phase 4 projects, a necessary and expected step after Black Widow was pulled from its planned May 1 release date. We all had a feeling a “chain reaction” would follow, as the carefully planned Marvel Cinematic Universe would need to move its other release dates ahead to make sure that the intricacies of Kevin Feige’s blockbuster world would…

Mulan Moves to July and Leads Disney Release Schedule Shake-Up

Things are changing fast for Disney and its usually reliable conveyor belt of blockbusters. After being one of the most proactive studios in hunkering down during the coronavirus pandemic—delaying Mulan and other releases early in March and suspending all film production—the Mouse House is looking at a more hopeful fall… and summer. Indeed, Mulan is back on the release calendar in 2020 and sooner than you might expect. With a new release date of July 24, Mulan is now scheduled to essentially be one of the first summer releases, even as the summer is beginning to wind down into its…

Will The New Mutants End Up on Streaming or Disney Plus?

Poor The New Mutants. Initially one of the bolder and more interesting X-Men projects to originate out of 20th Century Fox, the superhero spinoff has turned into a corporate football delayed by studio mandates, merger politics, and now the coronavirus crisis. When The Walt Disney Company announced The New Mutants would be delayed alongside Mulan and Antlers last month due to the pandemic, it amounted to the fourth time New Mutants’ release date has been pushed back or postponed. In the more bizarre corners of fandom, this has resulted in whispers of “curses,” and in the less crazy parts, it’s…

AMC Theatres Credit Rating Downgraded Amid Coronavirus Crisis

In what is most unwelcome news for folks who love going to the movies, the biggest movie theater chain in North America, AMC Theatres, has been given a bad credit rating and forecast by S&P Global. In lieu of the continuing coronavirus pandemic, which appears to be only accelerating in North America and most of Europe, the financial corporation has reevaluated its credit score for AMC Entertainment, downgrading it from a B to a CCC-. This moves the company’s prospects from “highly speculative” to “default imminent, with little prospect for recovery.” AMC Theatres, which was among the first national movie…

Top Gun: Maverick Won’t Hit Theaters Until Christmas

We’ll all have to wait a little longer to see the much-anticipated follow-up to iconic 1980s American action film Top Gun, titled Top Gun: Maverick. Paramount just announced (via The Hollywood Reporter) that the sequel film starring Tom Cruise, originally slated to be released in June, will now hit theaters on December 23rd. Top Gun: Maverick is the latest Hollywood film to be pulled from and/or shifted on the 2020 release schedule in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic which has seen many theaters in the United States and internationally closed for the foreseeable future. Most early summer blockbusters have…

How to Watch Trolls World Tour at Home

Later this month Universal Pictures’ Trolls World Tour will make history. Previously scheduled for a theatrical release on April 10, the film is still technically slated to premiere in some theaters on that day. But it will also be arriving on video-on-demand streaming, marking the first time a studio has broken the theatrical window for a major release so it can have a day-and-date premiere on VOD. In less than a few weeks, families hunkered down in self-isolation in North America and the UK will be able to watch the DreamWorks Animation follow-up to a loved 2016 hit from the…

A Quiet Place Part II Moves to September for Theatrical Release Date

In what many in the film industry—or just self-quarantine—will take as a hopeful sign, Paramount Pictures has moved from being one of the first studios to delay a spring release in the face of the coronavirus crisis to now putting that same movie back on the calendar at the end of summer. Indeed, A Quiet Place Part II, which was supposed to come out last month, now has a release date of Sept. 4, 2020. The news, which came as Paramount further rearranged its 2020 release schedule by moving Top Gun: Maverick from June to December, is the latest sign…

Snowpiercer TV Show Release Date, Cast, Trailer, Story, and News

Snowpiercer, TNT’s upcoming hour-long TV show will adapt newly Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho’s 2013 South Korean dystopian sci-fi film of the same name. The Snowpiercer TV show will be headlined by an Oscar winner in Jennifer Connelly, who is joined by Hamilton stage standout Daveed Diggs. Plus, Doctor Strange helmer Scott Derrickson directed the pilot (sans reshoots). With Snowpiercer’s uniquely stylized dystopian premise, coupled with its overt political themes of class division, there will certainly be much with which to work when it comes to a prospective ongoing television series. TNT has ordered the project to series, although it always seemed likely, as…

How Shudder’s Cursed Films Explores the Most Troubled Horror Movies Ever

Some movies are born bad. Poltergeist, The Omen, The Exorcist; these are iconic horror films with reputations of misfortune and mishap. Either due to a series of grim coincidences that form a pattern or one or two notable tragedies, a handful of films are said to have near-evil legacies. Maybe it really is as Shirley Jackson mused in The Haunting of Hill House? If some spots attach to themselves an atmosphere of goodness, “It might not then be too fanciful to say some houses are born bad.” So why not movies too? Within horror films, curses are caused by the…

SXSW Film Festival Moving to Amazon Prime

The cancellation of the SXSW in Austin, Texas last month—an intersection of festivals and conferences in film, music, and technology—was one of the first major social upheavals caused by the coronavirus pandemic in North America. It of course would not be the last. However, as prudent a decision as it was by the city of Austin to prevent 400,000 global revelers to descend upon their city, there is no denying the heartbreak of denying hundreds of independent filmmakers, many of them first-timers, their moment of triumph. That’s why it’s a ray of good news that SXSW and Amazon Prime Video…

Best Family Movies on Netflix to Streaming With Kids

With so many of us staying safe and staying home, we may be finding ourselves with an abundance of screen time compared to our normal lives. If you’re looking for some ideas of what to watch with your kids (that won’t drive you crazy), you can try some of these movies on Netflix. Incredibles 2 (2018) – U.S. Only The Incredibles has long been one of my favorite superhero movies (and I love superhero movies). I was worried that when the sequel came out that it wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but it managed to surpass them, sticking with…
