...and we're back! 

For the first time ever, ComicBookMovie is in attendance at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, where we're expected to receive major updates regarding the future of Walt Disney Studios. . 

The weekend is, of course, highlighted by two major studio presentations, the first of which will shine a spotlight on the highly secretive Disney Live Action, Pixar Animation Studios, and Walt Disney Animation Studios slate. 

While we don't know what to expect, there's a strong probability that we'll get updates and possibly new trailers for Hocus Pocus 2Strange WorldDisenchanted, Haunted MansionThe Little Mermaid, and Elemental. As for any major reveals, expect to get some sort of first look at Rachel Zegler as Snow White and there's a good chance they'll unveil who will be playing the title role in Guy Ritchie's upcoming Hercules

Maleficent 3 is something I have not heard anything about. I did like the first two so this is good news for me.

Sidenote: I haven’t seen Lightyear but the it has 2 1/2 stars on itunes

@PantherKing - Lightyear was imo fine. First half is surprisingly really good. Kind of a slower paced but interesting concept involving time dilation between a space traveler and the people on the planet. Second half becomes generic though with him having to train a team of ragtag losers to defeat alien invaders. In the end just feels a little cyclical that it could have been it’s own thing but slapped the Toy Story branding over it in the hopes of making more money.

@PantherKing -


It was ok but didn't have the heart of a Pixar film. It was good but it felt....off🤔?



When buzz and his cat are together it's awesome but when the side characters join the story it lost me🥲



Some heartfelt moments for sure but was not Pixar quality imo

Hocus Pocus should be October. Mid-October at that. Who in marketing botched that up?

I read in a couple of places that Sherlock Holmes 3 is to begin filming this year. If so then I expect Hercules to be a while from now. Well unless Guy is not involved with Sherlock Holmes 3.
