The film is a fantasy movie about the power of Wishes and dreams and explores the origin of the iconic Disney wishing star. Set in the Kingdom of Wishes, it's a magical land where wishes can literally come true. The theme was chosen for Disney's 100th anniversary and ties together a major theme across all Disney movies, that wishes can come true.

The art style of Wish combines watercolor animation, Disney's original art style, with CG which Disney uses in the modern era.

Wish will star two heroines, Asha (Ariana DeBose), a 17-year-old driven optimist and leader in the making. She will face one of the most formidable enemies in the universe and will have to team up with Star, a cosmic force and boundless ball of pure energy and maybe chaos.

Alan Tudyk, Disney's modern good-luck charm will be a voice in Wish, playing a goat named Valentino who gets his wish to communicate fulfilled. The soundtrack is composed by Grammy-nominated artist Julia Michaels. The audience at D23 got to listen to the very first song, More for Us, performed by DeBose.

Disney Pixar just unveiled Win or Lose - an all-new, original Pixar series.

The show is Pixar's first attempt at a long-form TV series, all about a softball team... and while it looks as though it'll have all the usual Pixar charm, it also has a deceptively simple premise:

"It’s about a team called the Pickles in the run-up to the championship game," said co-creator, Michael Yates, who developed the upcoming show alongside Carrie Hobson.

Will Forte stars as Coach Dan - the Pickles team coach who keeps this rag-tag team of misfits all together. Each week, the show will focus on an individual character, with audiences learning about them and how they might be feeling.

And one of the highlights is Frank the Umpire.

Frank is a middle-school teacher who's trying to get back into dating but also happens to be a softball umpire. Attendees at Disney's D23 expo were shown a brief clip of Frank getting his very own meet-cute with a local barista as he nervously orders a soy latte. But while he tries to ask her out, it becomes clear that she just isn't interested in him.

Thankfully, his friends are ready to rally around to cheer him up.

Win or Lose looks set to be more than just a sports show, with individual characters providing much of the emotional core of the series.

Cue a sizzle reel set to the soundtrack of We Will Rock You and it looks as though Win or Lose is onto a winner. Let's hope the Pickles take home the championship. We'll certainly be cheering them on from the sidelines.

Pixar has announced a sequel to Inside Out which sees Amy Poehler and her fellow emotions return inside Riley's head.

During the D23 Studio Showcase, Pixar boss Pete Doctor was about to end the segment on Pixar before being interrupted by Amy Poehler who starred as Joy in the 2015 Pixar animated film, Inside Out. Poehler was there to announce a surprise sequel to the film, Inside Out 2.

While Doctor says it's still early in production, Kelsey Mann will take over as director on the sequel and the movie will follow the original human, Riley, but as a teenager. Poehler teased that there will be new emotions this time around, though the creative team didn't reveal which.

Inside Out 2 will be coming out Summer 2024 and is the last announcement from Pixar at D23. The studio already announced its animated romance, Elemental, its first long-form series Win or Lose, and the new animated film Elio.

Paper Girls has been canceled by Amazon Prime after one season.

According to Deadline, the recent sci-fi series which debuted on Amazon Prime back in July has already been canned, despite a solid critical reception.

The show was produced by Amazon Studios and Legendary TV, the latter of which is reportedly shopping the series in an attempt to tap into the popularity of the likes of Euphoria and Sex Lives of College Girls by “offering another show with three-dimensional young female characters at the center.”

Paper Girls is based on the 2015 comic book series by Brian K. Vaughn and tells the story of Tiff, Erin, Mac, and KJ – four young girls who get caught in a war between different factions of time travelers.

IGN’s Paper Girls Season 1 review gave it 7/10 and said: “Paper Girls works best as a character study of four feisty, engaging 12-year-old girls who navigate a string of unimaginable adventures when they’re thrust into a future time war. The core four cast are what makes this series worth investing in, as their crazy circumstances give them the unique opportunity to determine who they are, and who they want to be for one another. The time story is less compelling with genre-familiar paradoxical themes, future tech, and good vs. evil factions that function more as placeholders rather than something tangible and meaningful to the characters. A second season that’s more aggressive about its overall storytelling would be very welcome.”

Nevertheless, the show’s strong opening wasn’t enough for Amazon Prime.

But then, Paper Girls came along at a tricky time, sitting in the shadow of Amazon’s Rings of Power – the high-concept, high-budget Lord of the Rings show that’s been at the center of a huge marketing push over the last few weeks and months.

Unfortunately, audiences didn’t find the show despite the strong critical reception… and Paper Girls failed to break into the Nielsen ratings.

Paper Girls starred Sofia Rosinksy, Camryn Jones, Riley Lai Nelet, and Fina Strazza in its leading roles.

The show was created for TV by Stephany Folsom, who also worked on The Rings of Power. Folsom originally acted as co-showrunner alongside Christopher C. Roger before exiting during Season 1.

Executive producers included Rogers, Folsom, Christopher Cantwell, Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, Steven Prinz, and Plan B.

Amy Hennig’s untitled Marvel game is being described as a team-up between Captain America and heroes from Wakanda, most prominently Black Panther. But if you’re thinking of teaming up with a friend to fight the Nazis, you’ll have to choose another game as this title will not be co-op.

When IGN asked Hennig in an interview for the untitled Marvel game if this was a co-op title, the director responded, “Narratively yes, gameplay mechanics-wise no.”

While the title will indeed see Captain America and Black Panther (Azzuri, T’challa’s grandfather), gameplay wise don’t expect to team up with your friend in local or online.

“We experienced something partly intentionally partly by happy accident on Uncharted that for people playing our game it was a shared living room experience… even if their hand wasn’t on the controller,” Hennig responded. The goal for this title is to capture that same kind of shared living room experience even if players aren’t actively playing together.

Given that details remain light, what we do know is that the untitled Marvel game will focus on four characters, Captain America, Black Panther, Howling Commandos member Gabe Jones, and a Dora Milaje warrior.

While each character will be distinct, and potentially playable, the game itself will not support co-op.

There are however several superhero games that will feature co-op as a key gameplay mechanic including Gotham Knights and the upcoming Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League.
