The Mandalorian’s Season 2 Trailer Is Here, and It Brought Baby Yoda

This is the way to more episodes of The Mandalorian. And more Baby Yoda adorableness, of course.

This Mandalorian Video Illustrates Just How Wild the Production Was

Disney’s Mulan Faces Backlash for Thanking Chinese Region Marred by Human Rights Violations

Disney’s Mulan is the story of a woman who overcomes systemic oppression to serve her country.

Mulan Is an Epic Martial Arts Film With Social Relevance

Mulan is an epic martial arts film that knocks previous remakes of beloved Disney animated classics off their magic carpets. And it does so by daring to be different. While The Lion King (2019) reboot was nearly a frame-by-frame copy of its predecessor, Mulan deviates significantly from the 1998 animated film. Without musical numbers or…

Mulan Will Be Free for Disney+ Subscribers…Later This Winter

Because the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic has made it unsafe for many movie theaters to open themselves to the public, Disney made the interesting choice of pushing its much-delayed Mulan remake straight to its Disney+ streaming service.

With the Covid-19 pandemic shutting completely down film and TV production, streaming services are getting creative when it comes to sourcing new content.

Giancarlo Esposito on What It’s Like to Play a Person of Color Among Star Wars‘ Fascist Villains

When we first met the Empire in Star Wars’ original trilogy, their fascist roots in the real world iconography of forces like the Nazis were immediately apparent: not just in their stark uniforms and the dehumanizing armor of the Stormtroopers, but in the whiteness of their officers. But when we see Star Wars’ villainous Empires…
