    • “Feature Film” – Benji the Hunted

      • Synopsis -  Benji, a movie star dog, is lost in the water while filming a scene. Despite long and intensive searches, he is unable to be found and washes ashore in the wilderness alone. Right away he encounters a mountain lion, just in time to see her shot by a hunter. Despite his best efforts, he is unable to revive the cougar before the hunter appears to shoo Benji away and finish the job.

      • Benji soon discovers that the puma was a mother with four little cubs, and he makes it his responsibility to care for the little ones in their mother’s absence.

      • When his owner’s search extends to helicopter, Benji is forced to choose between reuniting with his beloved owner or continue raising the cubs - he chooses to stay and look after the cubs. 

      • Benji does his best to guide the cubs through the dangers of the wilderness - starvation, wolves, hunters and eagles. Ultimately, he is able to safely bring three cubs to another mother cougar, who only has one little cub. 

      • Trivia - 

        • Despite some really weird “facts” floating around on the internet, filming of Benji the Hunted was supervised by the Humane Society, which certified that no animals were harmed.

        • “Benji” is played by Benjean, daughter of the original Benji (actually named Higgins)

        • IMDB has some weird “trivia” that really needs to be fact checked.

        • The “wolf”, Dimitri - was actually a hybrid

    • “Feature Film” – Cool Runnings

      • Synopsis -  

      • Derice Bannock, a top 100m runner, fails to qualify for the Jamacian team going to the 1988 Summer Olympics when fellow runner Junior trips and falls, taking Derice and another runner, Yul Brenner, with him. To compete in the Olympics, Derice and his best friend, Sanka, a champion push cart racer, seek out Irv Blitzer, an old friend of Derice's father Ben who tried to recruit sprinters to the bobsled team years ago. Irving is an American bobsled two time Gold Medalist at the 1968 Winter Olympics who finished first in two events again during the 1972 Winter Olympics but was disqualified from the latter for cheating and retired in disgrace to Jamaica, where he leads an impoverished life as a bookie. Derice's persistence eventually convinces Irving to be their coach and return to the life he left behind. They eventually recruit Junior and Yul, though Yul is still upset over Junior's mistake at the Olympic Trial. The rest is, literally, history.

      • Trivia - 

      • Contrary to the story in movie, the Jamaican team was met with open arms by the international Bobsledding teams. One of the other teams even went so far as to lend the Jamaican team a back-up sled so they could qualify.

      • The Jamaican bobsledder characters in the movie were all fictional characterizations and were not based on their real life counterparts. John Candy's Irving "Irv" Blitzer coach character is also fictional.

      • Final John Candy starring film to be released before he died of a heart attack five months later.

      • The original cast who was envisaged by Disney for the film was Denzel Washington as Derice, Eddie Murphy as Sanka, Wesley Snipes as Yul, Marlon Wayans as Junior and John Candy as Irving Blitzer. Finally, only Candy played in this film.

      • The crash scene at the end of the movie, except for the close-up shots, was the real footage of the actual Jamaican bobsled team crash taken from the 1988 Winter Olympic Games.

      • Contrary to the movie, the infamous crash wasn't due to a mechanical error, but more or less losing control of the sled at such a high speed.

    • Segment: News/Announcements  “The Newsies Banner”

      •  Due to Covid-19  the Disney has postponed the release of the following movies: Mulan, Black Widow, New Mutants, Antlers, Personal History of David Copperfield, Woman in the Window, 

      • Production has been halted on the following: Live Action Little Mermaid, Shang - Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings, Home Alone remake, Avatar sequel, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, WandaVision.

      • Disney is shockingly closed still. Which is good. Stay Home and wash your hands.

    • “Feature Film” – Pixar’s Onward

      • SynopsisSet in a suburban fantasy world, Disney and Pixar’s “Onward” introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there. Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new original feature film is directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae—the team behind “Monsters University.” 

      • Trivia

        • Pixar's iconic Pizza Planet truck appears in the troll bridge toll scene.

        • Pixar's first film without any involvement from John Lasseter, following his departure as CEO of Disney's Animation Areas.

        • The fifth Pixar film to not feature any humans, after A Bug's Life (1998) and the Cars trilogy.

        • On January 27, 2020, a San Francisco tattoo artist named Sweet Cecily Daniher filed a lawsuit against Disney, Pixar, and Onward (2020) producer Kori Rae. In September 2018, Pixar rented a van owned by Daniher and decorated with a unicorn-themed mural for use in a one-day festival. She learned about the production of Onward in May 2019 and, after seeing images of the van used by Ian and Barley Lightfoot in the film, came to believe that Pixar had stolen the design of her van in violation of her rental agreement with the company. Daniher is suing for copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Visual Artists Rights Act, and California Artists Protection Act. She is also suing to prohibit distribution of the film and any infringing advertisements or merchandise. The suit is pending as of February 2020.

        • Tom Holland's third time voice acting in a theatrical film, after Spies in Disguise (2019) and Dolittle (2020)

        • This is the first Pixar film not to feature the credits "Disney presents" and "a Pixar Animation Studios film" in the opening.

        • Pixar's first film to not be released in either May, June, or November.

    • “Feature Film” – George of the Jungle

      • Synopsis

    George of the Jungle is a goofy comedy based on the 1967 cartoon series and classic “jungle boy” type stories of orphaned boys being raised in the jungle by the animals (Tarzan, The Jungle Book, etc.) It tells the story of heiress and ahead-of-her-time travel vlogger named Ursula venturing into the wilds of Africa. Her abhorrent fiance Lyle (Sandman from Spider-Man 3)  attempts to get her to return home, but Ursula continues her trek in the wilderness, where she encounters the “white ape” George - an oddly clumsy, but athletic and sincere man - raised by the denizens of the jungle, who saves her from a lion. They bond in George’s treehouse after the rescue. 

    When Ursula’s guides and Lyle encounter the pair, through a mixup involving a gun-shaped lighter, Lyle accidentally shoots and injures George. 

    Ursula immediately takes George home to the states to care for his injuries, and there is a huge culture clash when George tries to adapt to his current surroundings. 

    Despite being in love with Ursula, George is persuaded by Ursula’s horrible mother to go back to the jungle, and Ursula pursues to tell him she loves him.

    In the meantime, Lyle has somehow gained control of a radical organization and attempts to come between the two and force Ursula to marry him after all, but is ultimately foiled and we close on a scene of George and Ursula together in the jungle with their clumsy (like his father) son. 

      • Film Trivia –

        • All of the gorillas living with George were Jim Henson puppeteers in specialized suits

        • Brendan Fraser’s personal trainer brought a suit against him for not crediting him...and lost.

        • When George is interacting with the horses at Ursula's parents' party, the woman who wishes she could find a man like him is Brendan Fraser's girlfriend and future wife, Afton Smith.

        • It was after seeing this film that director Stephen Sommers considered Brendan Fraser for the role of Rick O'Connell in 'The Mummy' (1999)

    • “Feature Film” – Big Hero 6

      • Synopsis

        • Hiro Hamada is a 14-year-old high school graduate and robotics genius living in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo who spends much of his free time participating in illegal robot fights. To redirect Hiro, his older brother Tadashi takes him to the research lab at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, where Hiro meets Professor Robert Callaghan, the head of the university's robotics program. Amazed, Hiro decides to apply to the university.

    To enroll, he signs up for the school's showcase and presents his project: microbots, swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any arrangement imaginable using a neurocranial transmitter. He is accepted to the school but before he can celebrate a massive fire suddenly breaks out in the showcase hall and Tadashi rushes in to save Callaghan, the only person left inside. The building explodes moments later, killing both.

    Later, a depressed Hiro, in mourning for Callaghan's and Tadashi's death, inadvertently activates Baymax, the inflatable healthcare robot that Tadashi created. The two find Hiro's only remaining microbot and follow it to an abandoned warehouse. There they discover that someone has been mass-producing the microbots, and are attacked by a man wearing a Kabuki mask who is controlling them. After they escape, Hiro suspects that the fire that claimed his brother may not have been accidental and in fact started by the man in the kabuki mask to cover the theft of the microbots. 

    Film Trivia – IMDB

        • According to Scott Watanabe, the movie is set in an alternate future where after the 1906 earthquake, San Francisco was rebuilt by Japanese immigrants using techniques that allow movement and flexibility in a seismic event. After the city was finished being rebuilt, it was renamed San Fransokyo due to it being a city with Japanese and American architecture combined.

        • The production team watched videos of fire ants as an inspiration of the movement of the Microbots.

        • Although it is based on a Marvel comic of the same name, there are lots of changes to the names, the setting, the ethnicities of characters, the back stories, and several plot points.

        • While designing Baymax's super-suit, there is a drawing resembling the top half of Iron Man's helmet.

        • Like the Marvel movies, this film also has an end credit scene, although this movie is not connected with the same Cinematic Universe as the other current Marvel movies The end credit scene features Stan Lee as Fred’s Dad.

    ●     “Feature Film” – The Good Dinosaur

    ○     Synopsis

    ■     Luckily for young Arlo, his parents (Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand) and his two siblings, the mighty dinosaurs were not wiped out 65 million years ago. When a rainstorm washes poor Arlo (Raymond Ochoa) downriver, he ends up bruised, battered and miles away from home. Good fortune shines on the frightened dino when he meets Spot (Jack Bright), a Neanderthal boy who offers his help and friendship. Together, the unlikely duo embark on an epic adventure to reunite Arlo with his beloved family.

    ○     Film Trivia – IMDB

    ■     The Good Dinosaur (2015) experienced multiple production issues. The film was in production for six years and it suffered from creative differences, story problems, Pixar multitasking between film productions, and a quality slump the studio suffered from Cars 2 (2011) to Monsters University (2013). Director Bob Peterson was removed from the project in the summer of 2013, just under a year before the film's original release date in May 2014. Peterson moved on to another project, while John Lasseter, Lee Unkrich, Mark Andrews, and Peter Sohn stepped in temporarily to work on various sections of the film. In November 2013, due to further delays, Pixar laid off sixty-seven employees of its twelve hundred-person workforce, following the closure of its satellite studio in Canada a month before, when about eighty employees had been laid off, officially to refocus Pixar's efforts at its main headquarters. "For Pixar, it was a dramatic event", said Jim Morris, the studio's General Manager and Executive Vice President of Production. "It was tough on the company. Most studios would have said, 'The movie's fine. It's not bad.' And it wasn't bad; it just wasn't great. We wanted to have a great movie." On October 21, 2014, Peter Sohn was officially named the new director. The story was then re-worked, and some major changes included lowering the age of the protagonist and adding the concept of nature itself being the main antagonist. While John Lithgow still remained cast as Poppa in the film (he would later be replaced), he acknowledged the fantastic changes in the script and said that "(The film's) gonna be better than I ever imagined."

    ● “Feature Film” – Tinker Bell (Video 2008)

    ○ Born from a baby’s laugh and carried by the wind to Pixie Hollow in Neverland, Tinker Bell learns she is destined to be a Tinker fairy. She hears all about the amazing things the nature fairies get to do to bring spring to the mainland and is excited to go see it. Using her talent she creates devices she intends to take to the mainland to help her fellow fairies. Upon learning the upsetting news that tinker fairies do not go to the mainland, she asks her friends to teach her their nature talents, hoping she can go. None of her attempts are successful and she seeks Vidia (a fast-flying/wind fairy) for help and she purposefully sabotages Tinker Bell. The situation quickly turns into chaos, ruining the preparations the other fairies have made, preventing spring from coming on time. When Tinker Bell confesses her fault in the destruction to Queen Clarion, Vidia accidentally lets it slip that she put Tinkerbell in the situation to begin with. Tinker Bell takes initiative and invents things to help speed up production so spring can start on time. These things are successful and the fairies disembark for the Mainland. Fairy Mary, the leader of the Tinker fairies, discovers the music box Tinker Bell repaired and suggests that she go to the mainland to return it to the little girl who lost it. Tinker Bell gets her wish to go to the Mainland and returns the music box to a little girl who turns out to be Wendy Darling.

    ○ Mae Whitman – Tinker Bell, Kristin Chenoweth – Rosetta, Raven-Symone-Iridessa, Lucy Liu-Silvermist, America Ferrera-Fawn, Jesse McCartney – Terence.

    ○ 6 films in the series

    ■ Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, Secret of the Wings, The Pirate Fairy, Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast

    ○ Film Trivia – IMDB

    ■ The first Disney film to feature Tinker Bell in a speaking role

    ■ Sold 668,000 copies in its first day of DVD release, about 22% more than expected.

    ■ As a marketing tie-in with Southwest Airlines, a Boeing 737 was decorated and named "Tinker Bell One". Flight attendants wore fairy wings and awarded prizes to passengers in a Tinker Bell trivia competition.

    ■ The movie was considered to be around 80% finished when Pixar merged with Disney. Pixar's John Lasseter demanded significant changes to the plot of the movie. The original version was set in a London where Never Land had disappeared and all children had lost their imagination. The movie would have ended with the fairies going to see a band called "The Pixies Chicks".

    ■ The song that plays on the ballerina music box that Tinkerbell delivers to young Wendy, is actually the song "You Can Fly" which is featured in Disney's Peter Pan.

    ●     “Feature Film” – Tarzan 2 

    ○     As Tarzan is growing up with Kala, he struggles to fit in and to keep up. He and Terk play games involving the mythical monster “the Zugor”, which will definitely not come back later in the movie.

    As the band of Gorillas led by Kerchak is travelling, Tarzan is once again unable to keep up and falls down a ravine. Kala is unable to reach him, and is devastated. Tarzan actually is able to save himself, but overhears other gorillas saying it was probably for the best that he had died, so he runs away.

    After running away, Tarzan makes his way to “The Dark Mountain”, where he is found by two gorilla brothers and their controlling mother, Mama Gunda. They tell him that they can’t leave because they are trapped by the Zugor.

    Tarzan finds out by accident that the Zugor is a solitary silverback, who pretends to be a monster to defend himself. He agrees not to tell anyone if Zugor will let him stay and will help him find out what he is. After a long series of tests, they come to the overwhelmingly corny conclusion that Tarzan is not an ape, and is, in fact “A TARZAN!” just as Kala finds out that Tarzan did not die and comes to find her boy. Zugor marries Mama Gunda for some reason.

    ○     Film Trivia - IMDB

    ■     won a DVDX Award for Best Original Score (in a DVD Premiere Movie)

    ■      Kala tickles Tarzan’s toes the way he tickles Jane’s in the original

    ●     “Feature Film” – Frozen 2 - Wikipedia

    ○     King Agnarr of Arendelle tells a story to his young children, Elsa and Anna, that their grandfather, King Runeard, established a treaty with the tribe of Northuldra by building a dam in the Northuldra's homeland, the Enchanted Forest. However, a fight occurs, resulting in Runeard's death. The battle enrages the elemental spirits of earth, fire, water, and air of the forest. The spirits disappear and a wall of mist encases everyone in the forest. Runeard's son Prince Agnarr barely escapes with the help of an unknown savior.

    ○     Three years after her coronation,[b] Elsa celebrates autumn in the kingdom with Anna, Olaf the snowman, Kristoff the ice harvester, and Kristoff's reindeer Sven. When Elsa hears a mysterious voice calling out to her, she follows it and unintentionally awakens the elemental spirits, which forces everyone in the kingdom to evacuate. Grand Pabbie and the Trolls colony arrive to Arendelle and Pabbie informs that they must set things right by discovering the truth about the kingdom's past.

    ○     Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Kristoff, and Sven embark to the Enchanted Forest, following the mysterious voice. After the mist parts at Elsa's touch, the air spirit, in the form of a tornado, appears and sweeps everyone in its vortex. Elsa stops it, forming a set of ice sculptures. The sisters discover the sculptures are images from their father's past and that their mother, Queen Iduna, was a Northuldra who saved Agnarr. They encounter the Northuldra and a troop of Arendellian soldiers who are still at conflict with one another before the fire spirit appears. Elsa discovers the spirit to be an agitated magical salamander, and calms it down. Elsa and Anna form a truce between the soldiers and the Northuldra by explaining that their mother was Northuldran and their father was Arendellian. Elsa later learns the existence of a fifth spirit who will unite people and the magic of nature.

    ○     Elsa continues to head north with Anna and Olaf, leaving Kristoff and Sven behind. They find their parents' shipwreck and a map with a route to Ahtohallan, a mythical river told by their mother to contain all explanations of the past. Elsa decides to travel alone while sending Anna and Olaf away to safety. Elsa encounters and tames Nokk, the water spirit who guards the sea to Ahtohallan. Reaching Ahtohallan, Elsa discovers that the voice was the call of Iduna, and that her powers were gifted by the magic of nature because of Iduna's selfless act of saving Agnarr, making Elsa the fifth spirit. Elsa then learns that the dam was built as a ruse to reduce the Northuldra's resources because of Runeard's dislike of the tribe's connection with magic, and that Runeard was the one who initiated the conflict by killing the leader of the Northuldra. Elsa sends this information to Anna before becoming frozen, due to venturing into the most dangerous part of Ahtohallan, which in turn causes Olaf to fade away.

    ○     Anna receives Elsa's message and concludes that the dam must be destroyed for peace to be restored. Anna finds and awakens the sleeping gigantic earth spirits, and lures them towards the dam, which is destroyed by boulders hurled by the giants. Elsa thaws out and returns to Arendelle, stopping a flood from the destroyed dam. As the wall of mist disappears, Elsa reunites with Anna and resurrects Olaf. Kristoff proposes to Anna, who accepts. Elsa explains that she and Anna are now the bridge between the people and the magical spirits. Anna becomes the new Queen of Arendelle, while Elsa becomes the protector of the Enchanted Forest who regularly visits Arendelle as peace is restored in all the lands.

    ○     In a post-credits scene, Olaf visits Elsa's ice palace and tells Marshmallow and the Snowgies[c] about the events he experienced.

    ○     Film Trivia - IMDB

    ■    Young Elsa is voiced by Mattea Conforti, who portrayed Young Anna in the Broadway adaptation of Frozen.

    ■    In the beginning when young Anna and Elsa are playing with snow figurines, a figure resembling Baymax from "Big Hero 6" can be spotted in addition to one resembling Totoro from "My Neighbor Totoro”

    ■    In a flashback, Prince Agnar says he's reading a book by "some new Danish author." This is probably an allusion to Hans Christian Andersen, whose fairy tale, "The Snow Queen," inspired the plot of the original film.

    ■    Since Elsa was never barefoot in the original movie, the animators didn't bother giving her toes then. They had to remodel her feet with toes for the sequel.
