Next on our Western adventure is the Mickey Mouse “Giddy Up” Mineral Wash Sweatshirt, retailing for $64.99. This isn’t just any sweatshirt; it’s a cozy, stylish homage to cowboy Mickey. He’s encircled by a yarn “lasso” that spells out “Giddy Up,” and he’s pictured singing and strumming his guitar by a campfire. Seriously, how adorable is that? It’s mineral washed for that perfect vintage feel, making it super comfy and looking like it’s been your favorite for years. Whether you’re partnering it up with your go-to jeans or just want to add a touch of country charm to your look, even if you’re a city slicker, this sweatshirt is a must-have.

And finally, for those hot days when you still want to show off your Western spirit, there’s the Mickey Mouse “Not My First Rodeo” Tank Top for $29.99. Looking at how effortlessly Mickey handles his lasso on this tank, you’ll totally believe him when he boasts, “It’s not my first rodeo.” This image of cowboy Mickey is also adapted from that classic 1934 short, Two-Gun Mickey. This ribbed, enzyme-wash tank top is so cool and comfy, you definitely won’t need to be roped into wearing it. It’s perfect for showing off your inner rodeo champ, no matter where you are!

The ‘Wicked: For Good’ Trailer Is Finally Here!

Following Wicked: Part One’s blockbuster release last year, there’s a ton of excitement brewing for Part 2 of the fantasy movie musical starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. The official Wicked: For Good trailer is finally out to the public, following its debut at a special screening of the first film on June 4.

Related-Wicked Available on Home Video Starting Today with Three Hours of Bonus Content

wicked

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the Wicked films are based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical “Wicked,” which itself was inspired by Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel reimagining the iconic characters from The Wizard of Oz. The movie was split into two parts; Wicked: Part One was released on Nov. 22, 2024, while the second part, later renamed Wicked: For Good, will debut later in 2025.

For one day only on July 4, Wicked returned to the big screen for a nationwide special screening at a set time, allowing everyone to experience the movie together. Following the film, the official trailer for Wicked: For Good premiered in theaters before its online debut around 8:57 p.m. ET.

For one day only on July 4, Wicked returned to the big screen for a nationwide special screening at a set time, allowing everyone to experience the movie together. Following the film, the official trailer for Wicked: For Good premiered in theaters before its online debut around 8:57 p.m. ET.

What the Trailer Reveals

One major spoiler revealed in the trailer is that Dorothy Gale will have a bigger role in the films than in the musical, where she was only shown as a shadow. In the trailer, Dorothy and her friends are seen walking down the Yellow Brick Road on their way to see the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

wicked

“That intersection is the place that we were first introduced into Oz,” Chu told Vanity Fair of Dorothy’s role in the films. “We tread lightly, but try to make more sense of how it impacts our girls and our characters than maybe the show does.” And for the fans who might be nervous because of that change, he responded, “We’re delicate. We’re delicate. We’re delicate.”

In the trailer, fans can also hear part of a song that may not be recognizable from the original musical, possibly hinting at one of the two new songs written for Part 2. Additionally, Glinda is seen wearing a wedding dress, suggesting she may be walking down the aisle to marry Jonathan Bailey’s Fiyero – something that doesn’t happen in the beloved stage production.

wicked

“It’s life or death for all of them, so a wedding seemed appropriate,” Chu confirmed to Vanity Fair. He added that their nuptials could also heighten the ante for Glinda’s relationship with Fiyero and her friendship with Elphaba. “It’s harder to forgive certain things in certain scenarios,” he said. “It makes it more complicated.”

When Is Wicked: For Good Coming Out?

Wicked: For Good will premiere in theaters on Nov. 21, 2025 – almost exactly one year after the release of the first film.

What Will Wicked: For Good Be About?

Wicked: For Good picks up after the events of Part One, where Elphaba and Glinda discover that the Wizard is a fraud, and Elphaba is declared the new enemy of Oz.

wicked

The next chapter will focus on the lead-up to The Wizard of Oz, including how Elphaba becomes the Wicked Witch of the West and how Glinda becomes the Good Witch. “In full control of her powers, Elphaba is declared an enemy of the state by the Wizard and Madame Morrible,” the synopsis reads.

“I think the meat of what Wicked is all about happens in movie two. To me, this is why this story exists,” Chu also teased to Vanity Fair. “This is where our childhood dreams collide with our adult selves.”

wicked

Wicked: For Good is expected to feature beloved hits from the second half of the Broadway musical, including “As Long As You’re Mine” and “For Good.” However, viewers will also get to hear two new songs written specifically for the films, composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz confirmed to The Messenger in December 2024.

“The storytelling required it, and therefore they were created,” Schwartz said of the additions. “The intention was that they were organic and not imposed on the movie.”

wicked

Erivo later revealed that one of the new songs will be sung by Elphaba – and that she had a hand in co-writing it. “I don’t know if you’re ready for it,” the actress said on Variety‘s Awards Circuit podcast. “I feel like the song is very, very special. I have a feeling that even the title will move you.”

Here are some of the songs you can expect to hear in Wicked: For Good:

  • “Thank Goodness”
  • “The Wicked Witch of the East”
  • “Wonderful”
  • “I’m Not That Girl (Reprise)”
  • “As Long As You’re Mine”
  • “No Good Deed”
  • “March of the Witch Hunters”
  • “For Good”
  • Finale Song

I can’t wait for part 2 to come to theatres!!! Check out the official Trailer below!

Disney Jr. Inspires Preschoolers to Play!

Yesterday, Disney unveiled “Disney Jr. Let’s Play!,” a new global initiative aimed at encouraging preschoolers to embrace the joy of play. This multiplatform campaign will feature original content, consumer products, music, live events, and community activities, all inspired by Disney Jr.’s cherished characters and stories. The goal is to bring engaging and meaningful experiences to preschoolers and communities worldwide. Announced on Good Morning America, this campaign is part of Disney’s broader commitment to bringing happiness to kids and families, with more “Disney Jr. Let’s Play x GMA” segments scheduled throughout the summer.

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, ESPN’s “Take Back Sports” initiative is partnering with Disney Jr. and Every Kid Sports to offer sports grants for preschoolers from low-income families. These grants, available through the Fall 2025 Every Kid Sports Pass, will cover fall registration fees for qualified applicants, marking the first time the program has focused on this age group. Further details on how to register for these grants will be announced soon.

The “Disney Jr. Let’s Play!” campaign is supported by clinical expertise from the Child Mind Institute, emphasizing the crucial role of play in preschool development. The campaign draws inspiration from popular Disney Jr. shows like Bluey, Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and SuperKitties, all available to stream on Disney+.

jr

“At Disney Jr., play is more than a pastime — it’s a key part of how we tell stories, spark imaginations and help kids make sense of the world,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “Our characters aren’t just beloved favorites, they’re friends who inspire movement, creativity and joy. With ‘Disney Jr. Let’s Play!,’ we’re inviting families to take that playful spirit beyond the screen and into everyday life.”

Continuing throughout the year, the campaign will feature additional community-based activations, as well as the following:

  • A Disney Jr.-themed roller-skating experience from Disney Music Group at over 400 roller rinks across the country
  • A “Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Party” at Disney California Adventure Park and Downtown Disney District later this summer
  • The popular “Disney Jr. Live On Tour: Let’s Play!” traveling concert tour, now in its international run
  • “Disney Jr. Let’s Play!” YouTube shorts, designed around preschool routines that encourage play and laughter.

Kathryn L. Keough, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at the Child Mind Institute, added, “Play-based activities support the healthy development of preschoolers and allow them to experience the positive emotions that are essential for their well-being. When preschoolers pretend to play as their favorite characters, it gives parents and caregivers a natural ‘in’ to play along with them and brings joy to the whole family.”

Located on the ever-popular Purple Wall in Tomorrowland, just steps away from Tomorrowland Terrace, this year’s Magic Kingdom Pride mural is a powerful and colorful statement. The design features a sweeping rainbow, meticulously crafted from the hues of the Progress Pride Flag, with a striking purple Mickey icon prominently placed in front. At the heart of the mural, in a soft off-white shade, is the word “Love,” serving as a central message of inclusion and acceptance.

The choice of the Progress Pride Flag for this mural is particularly significant. Beyond the traditional rainbow colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, this inclusive flag incorporates chevron stripes of black and brown, thoughtfully representing LGBTQIA+ people of color.

Beyond its captivating appearance, the Maleficent Cone delivers a truly enchanting flavor experience. The lavender waffle cone offers a subtle, intriguing floral note that beautifully complements the creamy butter pecan ice cream. Far from overpowering, the lavender provides a refreshing counterpoint, allowing the distinct taste of the butter pecan to shine through. Guests will find that the more pronounced lavender flavor truly emerges as they savor the treat down to the very last bite.

The chocolate horns are a charming and fitting detail, adding to the treat’s villainous allure. While the green sugar dipping the cone contributes more to the visual appeal and an interesting textural contrast than to the overall flavor, it undeniably enhances the cone’s “devilishly cool” aesthetic.

The Maleficent Cone is not just a treat; it’s a themed culinary experience that perfectly embodies the spirit of Disney’s beloved baddies. Head over to Hollywood Scoops and indulge in this delightful homage to one of Disney’s most iconic villains – it’s a treat that’s unfairly ever after delicious!

Could Josh D’Amaro be Disney’s next CEO?

Sources close to The Hollywood Reporter are suggesting that Josh D’Amaro, Disney Experiences Chairman, is in a prime position to be the company’s next CEO.

eefdcddbfefc

Josh D’Amaro, currently the Chairman of Disney Experiences, is widely considered a leading candidate to become the next CEO of The Walt Disney Company. With a career spanning over 26 years at Disney, D’Amaro has held numerous leadership roles across the company, both domestically and internationally. His extensive background includes serving as President of both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, demonstrating his deep understanding of the parks and guest experience.

As Chairman of Disney Experiences since 2020, D’Amaro oversees a vast portfolio that includes 12 theme parks worldwide, Disney Cruise Line, Disney Vacation Club, Adventures by Disney, and Disney Consumer Products. He is also responsible for Walt Disney Imagineering and the company’s digital games and apps business, including a collaboration with Epic Games. His leadership in this segment has been marked by significant growth, with a focus on creating groundbreaking experiences through a planned 10-year, $60 billion investment in new attractions, lands, hotels, and technology.

While D’Amaro’s experience in the parks sector is robust, some speculate that the board might favor a candidate with a broader background in content, distribution, and global sales, with figures like Dana Walden also being considered strong contenders. Bob Iger’s contract as CEO is set to end in December 2026, and the company is actively working through the succession process. D’Amaro’s participation in investor conferences, a role previously held by Iger, suggests he is being positioned as a key leader within the company’s future plans.

What do you think about D’Amaro possibly being Disney’s next CEO?
