“iCarly” is Back! The Official Trailer Drops for a Summer Reboot

by Sarah ShebekJune 1, 2021

It’s been a long nine years for iCarly fans, but the wait is almost over! Paramount+ just released the official trailer for the reboot and Carly will be back with her web show on June 17!

The OG show ran for six seasons and followed Carly Shay, whose skyrockets to online fame. Only one problem: her parents are abroad and there’s suddenly a lot of new success (and problems) to deal with. So Carly recruits the help of her friends Sam and Freddie, plus older brother Spencer to help juggle stardom and high school life. iCarly initially ran on Nickelodeon and a 2010 episode was the second-most watched in network history. The two-part final episode took place in November, 2012. But as today’s trailer demonstrates, the gang is (finally) getting back together.

Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress will all reprise their original roles, only this time they’re navigating life as twenty-somethings, including dating and love lives. Laci Mosley is a new addition as Carly’s roommate and Jaidyn Triplett joins as Freddie’s snarky stepdaughter. And of course, the web show is back with the same set and familiar pranks that iCarly fans have been missing. Only now it’s shot on an PearPhone!

You’ll get three fresh episodes on June 17 if you’re a Paramount+ subscriber, with new episodes coming in weekly. In total, 13 have been ordered up for the first season of the reboot. In the words of Carly, “I know somehow we’re gonna get there and feel so wonderful!”

by Karly WoodApril 7, 2021

As if we couldn’t be excited enough for the slew of Disney movies to debut this summer, the powerhouse has just dropped the second trailer to the highly anticipated Cruella. It was just over a month ago that the studio shared the first sneak peak, and its successor brings the queen of mean to a whole new level.

In the newest trailer, we get a bigger backstory on Estella de Vil, the budding fashion designer who comes under the tutelage of the Baroness. To put it bluntly, the film is Emma (Stone) vs. Emma (Thompson) in the best way.

Estella turned Cruella gets her due in the subsequent scenes as we finally get a peak at a few Dalmatians, Horace and Jasper and some of the crazy driving you’ll recognize from 101 Dalmations.

Catch Cruella in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access starting May. 28.

The Mighty Ducks Look a Lot Different in New Disney+ Trailer

by Karly WoodFebruary 25, 2021

The Mighty Ducks are back, but they look nothing like the 90’s team we grew up watching. Disney+ provided the first trailer for its’ new series, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers and we couldn’t be more excited to tune in.

Set in present day Minnesota, 12-year-old Evan Morrow gets cut from his dream team, The Mighty Ducks, now an elite youth hockey team. In the released trailer, Morrow and his mom, played by Lauren Graham, gather a group of misfits to form their own team.

Can the new team challenge the “win-at-all-costs” culture that youth sports embodies today? With Gordon Bombay at their side, the group just might be able to find that playing because they love the game is enough.

You can catch The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers when it drops on Disney+ staring Mar. 26.

Disney Drops the First Full-Length Trailer for “Mulan”

by Erica LoopDecember 10, 2019

Disney recently released the new trailer for the live-action reboot of Mulan—and this is one princess who can seriously kick butt!

The remake of the now-iconic animated classic may not come out until next spring (Mar. 27), but we’re totally ready for this sneak peek into the soon-to-be blockbuster film.

Along with the full-length trailer, Disney also debuted the first poster for the film. The film, which stars Yifei Liu in the title role, follows the story of Mulan as she takes the place of her ailing father to serve in China’s Imperial Army.

Even though Disney dropped a teaser trailer last July, the new clip is the first full-length look we’ve gotten into the non-animated awesomeness. The new trailer also reveals some of the updated film’s score, including an instrumental version of the 1998 animated classic’s “Reflection.”

If you’re wondering just how different the 2020 version of Mulan is, you can expect some serious changes. At least, based on the new trailer and recent reports. Unlike the original, the live-action reboot isn’t a musical. It’s also rumored to include more than a few completely awe-inspiring martial arts sequences—specifically, ones drawn from the Chinese film genre Wuxia (which focuses on ancient Chinese martial arts heroes).
