Zootopia Official US Trailer #2

About Zootopia

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootopia,” a comedy-adventure directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore and co-directed by Jared Bush, opens in theaters on March 4, 2016.

Reports (via; toonzone.net) have surfaced, of confirmations, of an all new Justice League animated series from Warner Brothers Studios. After the sighting of a promo poster at the Burbank Studios has led to rampant rumors on the inter-web chat rooms.

This led to questions from fans that ended up getting replied to by Cartoon Network Canada, who responded to a fan question on their Facebook page with (via; toonzone.net): “We will be premiering a new Justice League series, but not likely until next Fall.”

That confirmed that the promo poster was indeed viable and the release date to be rumored around fall of 2016.

The last time fans got to enjoy the Justice League animated series on TV was back in 2006 with Justice League Unlimited. The successful series had a long run on TV, and now had enjoyed a lengthy stay on Netflix along with the original series Justice League. One thing DC Studios is known for is their animated greatness so I’m pretty exited to hear this fantastic news.

The news of the new Justice League animated series happens to also coincide with the launch of Zack Snyder’s DC Studios movie. A DC film universe which will be including Batman Vs. Superman next March, Suicide Squad next August, followed by Wonder Woman and the Justice League Part 1 film. Not to forget plans for Aquaman and possibly more Batman films as well.

The promo poster also seems to spotlight Firestorm who’s on the Arrow and Flash WB shows.   Legends of Tomorrow’s Hawkgirl is also seen and possibly a Supergirl type figure is also spotted. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are surely a given.

For now let’s just be happy with more DC Animated awesomeness in the future! I’ll still keep on enjoying the classics via streaming services or on DVD.

Sony Chairman Tom Rothman announced at CinemaCon that there will be an animated Spider-Man movie released to theaters on July 20, 2018.

The new animated movie will be based after Spidey’s appearance in the 2017 movies and will be directed by Phil Miller and Chris Lord.spiderman 1

This is not in place of any other Spider-Man plans, but in addition to the already planned live-action movie.
See the full press release below;

On July 20, 2018, Phil Lord & Christopher Miller the directors of The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and 21 and 22 Jump Street, are taking Spider-Man back to his graphic roots with the first-of-its-kind animated Spider-Man feature, it was announced today at CinemaCon by Tom Rothman, chairman of the Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group. The film will exist independently of the projects in the live-action Spider-Man universe, all of which are continuing.

Lord & Miller are masterminding the project, writing the treatment and producing the film.

As previously announced, Spider-Man will next appear in a live-action Marvel film from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, a live-action film being produced by Kevin Feige at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. The animated film from Lord & Miller, dated July 20, 2018, has Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, and Pascal also serving as producers.

That means that not only is Spider-Man back with Marvel where he belongs, but he is being fully embraced by the MCU.

Guardians of the Galaxy Animated Series Cast Announcements

by April Carvelli
written by April Carvelli

Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-Animated-Series-Full-PosterIt looks like the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series is going full bore. They have been throwing announcements all day regarding their casting and it is an interesting selection of actors.

Star-Lord aka Peter Quill will be voiced by former Boy Meets World actor Will Friedle. Being a hero isn’t new to Friedle as he has previously voiced Terry McGinnis in Batman Beyond, Blue Beetle in Batman: The Brave and the Bold as well as Deadpool in Ultimate Spider-Man. Other heroic roles included Prince Ragnar in Green Lantern:The Animated Series and Bumblee in Transformers:Robots in Disguise.

Trevor Deval has been cast as the smart-mouthed, gun-toting Rocket Raccoon. This is familiar territory for Deval who had previously voiced Rocket in the 2014 episode of Ultimate Spider-Man which featured the Guardians. Strangely enough the voice for my favorite character, Groot, from that episode will also be returning. Kevin Michael Richardson will be returning to his 2014 character. They have now also announced that David Sobolov will be returning to voice Drax the Destroyer.

rocketThe fact that they have brought in three actors from the Ultimate Spider-Man episode might mean that they will also be bringing in Nika Futterman for Gamora, but we have to wait and see if that actually happens.

While we are waiting for the next announcement, check out the test footage for the series.
