    Will Buffy the Vampire Slayer Get a Disney Makeover?

    Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, may not be Disney Princess material, but now that Disney owns the IP, we may see the popular vampire slayer brought back from beyond the grave. It wouldn’t even be a stretch to say that it’s inevitable – after all, a show like Buffy the Vampire Slayer can only be ignored for so long before Disney recognizes the potential. In fact, it was recently confirmed that a brand-n

    What Shocking Moments Fans Can Expect From ‘Star Wars: Visions’

    It’s hard to believe there was ever a time when Star Wars wasn’t churning out new material. Sure, certain forms of media from the faraway galaxy have never really stopped, such as books, graphic novels, and video games. Still, Star Wars has actually gone through more than one hiatus since its inception in 1977. The first was the period between Return of the Jedi in 1983 and The Phantom Menace in 1

    Does Buffy the Vampire Slayer Have a Place in Disney Parks?

    When one thinks of Disney Parks, they hardly tend to associate them with all things dark, mysterious, supernatural, and terrifying, but to say that they’re strangers to the world of horror – even in its most universal form – would be a lie. After all, what would a Disney Park be without the likes of The Haunted Mansion, an experience that isn’t exactly lacking in the undead department? Since Disne

    Is Amazon’s Cinderella Actually As Bad As Reviews Say?

    Amazon's version of Cinderella has still been a major talking point among Disney fans this week after it premiered last weekend, and opinions on the movie adaptation are still mixed. This version of the Cinderella story features Camila Cabello as Ella, an aspiring dressmaker whose focus on her dream job has been strangely off-putting to an audience that usually adores “girlboss” charac
