Earlier this year On The Red Carpet caught up with the actor at D23 where he shared how he loves to embarrass his family while waiting in line for "Soarin'" attraction. "Before I come on screen, I might turn around to everybody in line and ask them politely if everyone can please be quiet. We're going to get some very important safety information from a very young dynamic actor," he explains.

The Disneyland Resort will in 2026 be getting a little more patriotic. Soarin' Around the World at Disney California Adventure will in 2026 be converted to Soarin' Across America, a move timed to the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. The makeover is planned for next summer at both California Adventure in Anaheim and in Florida at Walt Disney World's Epcot.

From Apple TV Plus to Peacock, a number of streaming services have recently increased their pricing - and Disney Plus is no exception. Starting on Tuesday, October 21st, the standalone plan with ads will jump from $9.99 to $11.99 a month, while the ad-free Premium tier will increase by $3 to $18.99 a month. The ad-free annual plan is also going up by $30, at which point it will cost $189.99 a year. Ouch.

"Tron: Ares" powered up the box office grid in the top spot this weekend, but Disney's third entry in the sci-fi franchise fell short of expectations. Despite some favorable reviews - including a three-out-of-four-star one from The Associated Press - the new "Tron" film starring Jared Leto, Greta Lee and Jeff Bridges earned $33.5 million, according to Comscore estimates on Sunday. The big-budget project, reported to cost around $150 million, arrived 15 years after "Tron: Legacy" opened to $44 million before grossing more than $400 million globally.

It represents persistence, innovation, imagination, family, magic, joy, taking chances and going all in on your dreams,

Hey, we may not get more Spider-Man, but more Spider-Pig is always welcome. Disney and 20th Century Studios confirmed The Simpsons 2 with a poster on September 29. "Homer's coming back for seconds," it reads, and the "all-new movie" is set for release on July 23, 2027. Initially, that date was to be taken by a yet-untitled Marvel film - but now there's nothing between 2026's Avengers: Doomsday and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars, both of which were postponed to December from May.

The creators of the long-running hit series attended San Diego Comic-Con and attended an autograph signing. While chatting with On The Red Carpet at pop culture's biggest event, Groening dished on his unique room, "I have a special 'Simpsons' themed guest bedroom. And, it's got 'Simpsons' bed sheets, and 'Simpsons' pillows, and a 'Simpsons' lamp, and 'Simpsons' wallpaper, and 'Simpsons' draperies."

Local ABC broadcast affiliate owner Sinclair Broadcasting, however, appears intent on pushing its luck. We've long pointed out how the right-wing broadcaster is basically GOP propaganda pretending to be local news. The company has an extended history of kissing Trump's ass, airing all kinds of pro-Trump propaganda (the company's infamous "must run" segments), and is often cozy with white nationalists.

Disney+ subscribers, including those who bundle, get ready for another price hike. The service's plan with ads will increase from $9.99 to $11.99 a month, while the ad-free plan will increase by three dollars to $18.99 a month. The news follows the ongoing tempest surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's politically motivated suspension from his Disney-owned talk show last week. There's no way to say for sure what factors led to Disney ending Kimmel's suspension on Monday (with the host now returning for his Tuesday evening show).

Are you ready to pay more for Bluey? Disney thinks so. The company has announced it's raising prices for a bunch of its subscription tiers just a year after the last hike. This reveal of the new streaming tax also comes just a day after the company announced Jimmy Kimmel would be back on the air, sorta, following calls for a boycott of all Disney products after his late-night show was indefinitely pulled.

Among the biggest mistakes Iger made late in his first time as a CEO was the launch of Disney's streaming product Disney+. The service kicked off in November 2019. It had about 500 movies from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. It was too small and had too little content to compete with industry leaders Amazon and Netflix. In February, Forbes put the operating loss of Disney+, the proxy for which is Disney's Direct To Consumer (DTC) segment, at $10.7 billion since the service started.

Cookie tins are a great way to keep holiday baked good fresh, or to use so you can package them up to gift to others. But much like vintage kitchen storage jars, cookie tins can also be reused in a myriad of ways. Use tins to store sewing supplies, parts for your kitchen gadgets, and other miscellaneous items that are making your kitchen shelves look cluttered.

As of now, all we know for sure is that Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is officially happening, and that production will begin next year. Brad Winderbaum, the head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios, confirmed this to on September 18. While the statement is broad, we can speculate based on the production of previous seasons. Born Again Season 1 underwent extensive retooling, but we can look to Season 2 for guidance.

We're screaming and waving our arms all wiggly, Kermit-style. Disney is bringing back The Muppet Showin its OG variety-show format [ Kermit: Yay!]. For one stand-alone special [ Kermit: makes angry-fist face]. We're getting exactly one of something we want infinitely repeated, sometime in 2026. The Muppets made the announcement on social media, showing the new backstage set and Kermit's mug.

I started at Disney in 2011 with an eight-month internship as a cast member. My end goal was to go back after finishing my degree and rise through the company's ranks.

In addition to being a world-class games experience and interoperating with Fortnite, the new persistent universe will offer a multitude of opportunities for consumers to play, watch, shop and engage with content, characters and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar and more. Players, gamers and fans will be able to create their own stories and experiences, express their fandom in a distinctly Disney way, and share content with each other in ways that they love.

The Walt Disney Company has agreed to pay $10 million to settle allegations by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that it violated children's online privacy laws. The settlement, disclosed on Tuesday, addresses claims that Disney failed to properly label certain YouTube videos as "Made for Kids," allowing personal data to be collected from children under 13 without parental consent. This oversight led to the videos being targeted for online advertising, drawing the attention of federal regulators.
