Disney’s chairman Alan Horn said in a statement:

“Indiana Jones is one of the greatest heroes in cinematic history, and we can’t wait to bring him back to the screen in 2019. It’s rare to have such a perfect combination of director, producers, actor and role, and we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure with Harrison and Steven.”

Harrison Ford will return to his title role and Steven Spielberg will direct.

Disney today launched it’s 3rd season of its popular digital series, As Told by Emoji. The season premiere retells the story of the newest Disney animated film, Moana – with emoji-fied versions of Moana and Maui, as they navigate the ocean without GPS and play “Tekamon Go!” to restore the heart of Te Fiti.

Moana As Told By Emoji is the 14th episode to debut in the series, which is created in collaboration with the original filmmakers, who are excited to see their movies retold for a mobile-loving audience.

Director John Musker says, “Moana as Told By Emoji is a funny, playful and entertaining way of telling our story, but distilled down to its essence, finding clever ways of communicating certain ideas, whether it’s a boat sinking or whatever it might be. In a way, it’s like seeing an alternate reality version of our movie.”

The series has been translated into 25 languages and has reached more than 125 million views across platforms since debuting last year.

Live Action Beauty and the Beast Cogsworth Clock Replica

March 7, 2017

I have to admit the new Live Action Cogsworth makes me do a double take to find his face! This Cogsworth Clock Replica is one of the many incredibly detailed collectibles inspired by the new Live Action Beauty and the Beast movie.

The Live Action Cogsworth is so incredibly ornate and detailed. It’s hard to even notice it’s an “alive” character until you look closely at the clock face. Cogsworth is a limited edition of 2000 resin figurine. The details inside the clock base are just breathtaking to me! I also love how they’ve disguised “arms and legs” as different parts of the clock as well. Cogsworth and Lumiere would look quite dashing on a shelf together!

Would you display this Cogsworth Clock Replica in your home?
