CinemaBlend Disneys new Jungle Cruise movie is based on the popular ride found at Disney theme parks around the world. While the ride does take guests down some of the most famous rivers in the world to see (mechanical) wildlife, theres another reason that most people go on the ride again and again, the terrible terrible jokes. The Jungle Cruise skippers are known for their ability to sling one hilariously bad joke after another, and in the Jungle Cruise movie, as Skipper Frank, Dwayne Johnso...

Copy to clipboard Disney has found remarkable success creating live-action remakes to its animated classics, so it only stands to reason that as new animated classics are made, there will eventually be live-action remakes of them. This means that its only a matter of time before we get a live-action Toy Story movie. But if that sounds like a terrible idea, let me run something by you, a live-action I recently had a chance to sit down with the two main stars of Jungle Cruise was pitched 10 ye...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Its been 20 years since Star Tours received its major update and became Star Tours: The Adventures Continue.

We look for rumors of whats to come and try to figure...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Im not sure its too controversial to say that Dwayne Johnson is one of the hardest working guys in Hollywood. Before the pandemic his Instagram feed was full of pictures of him standing on runways, leaving one film shoot, and frequently heading straight to another. If not that, then hes at home reading scripts and getting on the phone in his role as a producer. With everything the man has going on in his life, you wonder when he finds time to sleep, and it turns ou...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard Decades before Star Wars: Galaxys Edge was even a pipedream, Disneyland and George Lucas came together to create the first Star Wars theme park attraction. Star Tours was a one of a kind ride that brought guests into the world of Star Wars in a way that no movie ever could. It was such a popular attraction that, despite plans to upgrade the ride over time, the original concept stayed in place for over 20 years. However, in 2011, Star Tours finally saw a major upgra...

CinemaBlend Dwayne Johnson is arguably the biggest movie star in the world, but like many actors that reach his level, he does so much more than make movies. With his production company Seven Bucks, Johnson has produced many of the most recent films that hes starred in, but youll also see Seven Bucks involved in many other productions that arent directly related to The Rocks on-screen career. One such project is the upcoming Disney+ series, Behind the Attraction. While Dwayne Johnson does appe...

CinemaBlend Star Wars before it, James Camerons Avatar franchise has had an interesting path in the world of both films and theme park attractions. Disney made a deal with Cameron to bring Avatar to Disneys Animal Kingdom as Pandora: The World of Avatar, which opened in 2017, and while Avatar was not a Disney IP at the time, it is now, following the purchase of 21st Century Fox. Now that Avatar is truly part of Disney, we can expect a lot more to be done with the world of Pandora in the them...
