Walt Disney Animation Studios’Raya and the Last Dragongot shifted to next spring (amidst a creative leadership shake-up) and Pixar’sSoulremains, like the characters in the movie, in a nebulous state of limbo. Thankfully, the streaming services are picking up the slack, with Apple TV+’sWolfwalkersfrom the Cartoon Saloon gang (it’s directed byThe Secret of the KellsfilmmakerTomm Moore) and Netflix’s highly anticipated computer-generated extravaganzaOver the Moon....

While I’ve been so incredibly lucky to make these films with both the master of horror Wes Craven and the wonderfully talented Matt and Tyler team, I’ve dreamt for many years of how amazing it would be to make one of these movies with Kevin Williamson at the helm....

Among the legions of celebrities that have openly picked a fight with PresidentDonald Trump,Stephen Colberthas been particularly vocal in his criticisms. The late-show host got himself into a spot of trouble in early 2017 for referring to Trump’s mouth as a kind of, er, holster, and at one point, he started incorporating an animated Trump into some of his routines. Last summer, he confirmed that the animated Trump would be expanded into its own Showtime series and today, we got our first full look atOur Cartoon Presidentvia a new railer unveiled at Showtime’s TCA panel, which you can take a look at below....

Just as often as the Oscars fail to actually recognize thebestpicture/actress/screenplay, the Razzies go for the low blow rather than actually singling out the worst of the worst. More often than not, the Razzies simply jump on the biggest target rather than taking a good hard look at the year in film and highlighting filmmaking that’s genuinely lazy or uninspired....

Universal has released anotherRide Along 2trailer online. The sequel reunitesIce CubeandKevin Hartas partners and brothers-in-laws-to-be who take a road trip from Atlanta to Miami to take down a drug dealer who’s been funneling product into their hometown. While theprevioustrailer looked like it was made up mostly of footage from the first movie, this trailer doubles down on how much affection audiences have for Hart. Apparently, the studio believes they can get a lot of mileage by tossing him around like a rag doll, and I believe they’re right....

Soul(coming to Disney+ on Christmas Day) is the kind of Pixar movie that could have only sprung from the mind ofPete Docter. Docter started at Pixar after graduating college, in 1990 at the age of 21. He went on to contribute to the studio’s pioneering short films and initial features likeToy Story, and made the leap to director with 2001’sMonsters, Inc. (a film that lost the inaugural Best Animated Feature Oscar to, ugh,Shrek)....

Netflix has released the first trailer forSpringsteen on Broadway, which bringsBruce Springsteen’s critically acclaimed Broadway stage show to the masses. Indeed, if you heard everyone raving about the iconic artist’s Broadway show and were insanely jealous that you didn’t get a chance to see it in person, Springsteen—man of the people—is offering up a recorded version of the show on Netflix.
