Pixar’s Onward: Bridging the Familial Gap

Pixar’s Onward is just a few weeks away from its March 6th release. The film is already starring to resonate with fans on an emotional level with its previews and sneak peeks. There’s a reason why the story of Onward hits so close to home. It starts with trust and bridging the gap in a family.

For director, Dan Scanlon, this story starts at home. The family dynamic of Ian and Barley Lightfoot with their long lost father is something Scanlon can relate too. Dan and his brother lost their father at a very young age. In Scanlon’s mind, everything his father is was always a mystery. This is the same way that the Lightfoot brothers feel about their father.

Ian and his brother are left with a letter from their father, a magic spell, and a staff. Following their father’s instructions and an old spell, the two attempt to bring their father back from the dead for one more day with him.

When things don’t according to plan, the brothers embark on an epic journey. They will have to overcome unforeseen obstacles, face their fears, and learn how to trust one another and their own instincts. They must bridge that familial gap and grow closer together in order to see their father one last time.

Pixar’s Onward arrives in theaters on March 6th, 2020. This feature takes viewers on a journey of epic proportions! You do not want to miss this!

‘Turner & Hooch’ Reboot Starring Josh Peck Coming to Disney+. Drake & Josh star, Josh Peck, has been cast as US Marshall Scott Turner for a reboot series of the 1989 film, Turner & Hooch. The role originally played by Tom Hanks, followed Scott Turner, a US Marshall who’s only witness and lead to solving a mysterious murder is the victims dog.

The film was originally adapted for a television series in the 90’s, but was ultimately shelved by NBC and Touchstone Television. This revival comes as a bit of a happy surprise for fans, who are interested to see how the story will develop in a new day and age, with a similar plot point and new cast.

Matt Nix is signed to pen the 12-episode series for Disney+. Josh Levy is set to co-executive produce the reboot. Disney CEO Bob Iger has been very enthusiastic about the new and renewed content coming to Disney+.

“We will continue to add [programming], we’ve got a lot coming up — we’ve just had a spot in the Super Bowl for three new original Marvel series, Mandalorian will come back in October, we have more Star Wars series in development, there are a lot of original movies — so that will continue,” The Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger shared on CNBC. “And there will be growth in investment in original content. But this will never be what I’ll call a pure volume play. It will be about high-quality, branded content.”

Are you excited for a Turner & Hooch reboot? What other series are you excited to stream on Disney+? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney+.

February 11, 2020

Following the announcement of Disneyland Paris’ Walt Disney Studios planned expansion back in 2018, blueprints have emerged for the new Frozen land expansion! Disneyland Paris Media Expo back in 2019, promised guests a new Frozen experience of a fully immersive land. Guests will be transported to Arendelle opposite a new magnificent lake in the centre of the park. The Media Expo promised “an attraction” that will take them to the centre of the Kingdom alongside character encounters, a new restaurant and two shops, which will secure a permanent presence of this beloved franchise at Disneyland Paris.

Well since the announcement back in 2019, little news has been released until now as Twitter User, OutsidEars insiders, has released images that resemble blueprints of the new Frozen Land expansion!

From what the images detail, you can see Arendelle mountains promising to be “40 meter-high” along the back of the new land, as well as the mountains surrounding a beautiful castle and the village of Arendelle. There also appears to be a large space on the plans which could contain the mentioned “attraction”, many believe this to be a replica of the Walt Disney Resort attraction, Frozen Ever After, which replaced Maelstrom in the Norway Pavilion, in Epcot back in 2016. As mentioned, the new Frozen land will also feature a character meet and greet space, a restaurant and two shops! Check out the concept art of the new land below! The lake is rumoured to feature “advanced lighting, sound, special effects technology and fountains” possibly for a new water show!

The new Frozen themed land is currently set to open in Disneyland Paris in 2023. However, the newly refurbished Hotel New York: The Art of Marvel is opening this Summer and the first phase of the Walt Disney Park expansion is set for 2021!
