Even though Sarah Silverman was only on Saturday Night Live for one season, she still remembers how the show’s “energy” could make her “feel like a piece of shit.”

During the early start of her career, the two-time Emmy Award winner joined the sketch-comedy show as a cast member in 1993. However, after just one season, Silverman was fired, and she recently reflected on her time with SNL being “so magical” and “amazing,” despite the “anxiety” that comes with being a part of the cast.

“[SNL], it’s so magical, it’s so amazing, but there is just something about it where they just have this energy that puts you in your place where you feel like a piece of shit and terrified [with] the anxiety,” she said during an appearance on the Howard Stern Show. “It’s very hard to be zen and chill there.”

After the Wreck-It Ralph star was fired from the show,...

Alright, let’s be clear, Lazarus kicked things off like a champ. Shinichirō Watanabe hooked us up with this wild futuristic sci-fi setting where people pretty much cheated death thanks to a miracle drug. It’s 2052. No more pain. No more sickness. Just chill vibes. All thanks to this brilliant neuroscientist, Dr. Skinner, who introduced this magic cure called Hapuna, and then just disappeared.

Years later, he shows up out of the blue to drop a bomb: Hapuna has a short shelf life. Everyone who took it? Dead in three years. Surprise! You’re on a countdown to doom. That’s when a badass global task force called ‘Lazarus‘ steps in, running against the clock to find Skinner and stop this ticking apocalypse. The setup? Killer. The action? Slick. The vibes? Immaculate. Then came Episode 5. Then came Popcorn Wizard. And it all went straight downhill.

Since leaning toward 3D animation, DreamWorks has built a reputation for being anti-Disney when it comes to its most recognisable IPs, whether it’s the beloved Shrek or the Martin Scorsese-starrer Shark Tale. While the studio doesn’t compare to something like Pixar when it comes to delivering emotionally resonant stories consistently, when it does, we get gems like How to Train Your Dragon and The Wild Robots.

Unfortunately, one such poignant story that deserved its own franchise was brushed under the rug, even though it had a lot more to offer than its competitors during the same timeframe.

Rise of the Guardians‘ failure stings deeply Rise of the Guardians | Credit: DreamWorks

For a studio that is notable for integrating pop-culture into its stories, in the early 2000s, DreamWorks branched out its slate with How to Train Your Dragon, arguably the best non-Disney Disney animated releases of that era.

Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament has returned, and as you’ll see from the most profitable films of 2024 that we’re disclosing, a movie’s game doesn’t end at the box office. Rather, its downstream revenues and subsequent home windows must be taken into account. Streaming continues to be a wildcard: While traditional motion picture studios such as Disney, Warner Bros, Sony, Paramount and Universal rely on lucrative pay two and pay three streamer deals to catapult their slates into the black, those streamers who’ve embraced theatrical (specifically Amazon MGM Studios and Apple Original Films) have a clandestine metric as to how they evaluate a movie’s post-cinema success. By traditional studio P&l standards, some of those releases would be considered flops. Given that, Apple and Amazon are excluded from this year’s survey. The Most Valuable Blockbuster series runs later rather than sooner as we gather...

Walt Disney Animation Studios is paying tribute to female talent in art and animation at a one-of-a-kind exhibition during the Gran Canaria-based Animayo. From May 7-10, the exhibition Whimsy & Wonder will be exclusively on display during the fest.

Disney, an official sponsor this year, will celebrate the female artists who helped shape Disney’s visual storytelling for more than a hundred years. These include the trailblazing Mary Blair, who transformed the use of color in the 1950s, and the visionary women behind modern favorites like “Frozen,” “Encanto” and “Moana 2.” The exhibition is a homage to the women who have shaped the past—and are defining the future—of animation.

In the 1940s and ’50s, Blair, a celebrated color stylist and art director, brought a bold new vision to Disney animation. Her imaginative use of vibrant colors and whimsical shapes sparked a transformative shift...

Movie characters are just like us, and sometimes, that involves showing them playing video games. To make a film more immersive, this can entail showing off an actual game that exists in the real world, like Thor (Chris Hemsworth) getting all worked up about "Fortnite" in "Avengers: Endgame" or Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) playing "Rage" in "Breaking Bad." These can be fun nods to the gamers in the audience, but for a more immersive experience, some films decide to create an entire new game from scratch.

In many instances, the game featured is a one-off joke but nonetheless looks enticing from what we can see. In other cases, the fake video game is pivotal to the plot. We learn more about the game's mechanics even if they have real-world consequences. We wouldn't want to actually play something that sets the world up for nuclear annihilation, but as a game to play with friends,...

Movies based on a gaming premise are nothing new for cinema enthusiasts. In the cult favorite “Ready Player One,” the Chinese blockbuster drama “Love O2O,” “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” or “Free Guy,” world-building acts as the strongest fulcrum, elevating the immersive quality of the movies. The 2025 Malayalam language thriller “Bazooka,” written and directed by debutant Deeno Dennis, is one such genre-bending film that merges multiple genres, including action, gaming, heist, and thriller. But does the film pass with flying colors? Or does the execution make the idea on paper look foolish and unbearably tiresome? Let’s find out.

“Bazooka,” as intriguing as the name sounds, has an equally intriguing premise. It follows a serial robber, a monomaniac gamer, who commits multiple challenging robberies in the city and comes out unscathed, proving to be a menace to the city police. Enter Kochi Acp, the prestigious, decorated police officer Mr.

Minecraft blew theater doors wide open in its initial weekend, surpassing even optimistic projections and grossing a record-breaking $163 million domestic — the best domestic debut of all time for a video-game adaptation. We’re in a new era for video-game adaptations, with the series The Last of Us and Fallout becoming serious Emmy players and films like the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and The Super Mario Bros. Movie proving wildly popular at the box office. It’s a far cry from, well, Far Cry and other maligned adaptations of yore, as Hollywood studios are finally figuring out how to adapt and sell video-game-derived movies to the masses. Considering that The Super Mario Bros. Movie contended for Golden Globes, could A Minecraft Movie’s follow a similar trajectory and translate its box-office success into awards love?

The first live-action feature-length video-game adaptation intended for theaters was 1993’s Super Mario Bros. Taking liberties...

Video game movies are hot and that makes it the perfect time for Disney to bring a beloved game series to the big screen!

For a long time, movies based on video games didn't have the best track record. With the exception of 1995's Mortal Kombat and the Resident Evil series, the genre has been hit with multiple bombs and critically ravaged films. 

Disney themselves know that. In 1993, they released Super Mario Bros under its Hollywood Studios Banner, which regularly tops the list of the worst video game movies. It was everything that fans have slammed about these movies: Terrible casting, a plot bearing almost no resemblance to the games, a lousy script, and everything coming together in the worst way. 

In Disney's defense, they're not the only ones who have made this mistake with other video game movie flops. However, the last few years has seen the tide turning.

Sarah Silverman is returning to Netflix with her second stand-up special for the streamer.

Titled “Postmortem,” the comedy hour will see Silverman finding humor in grieving her parents. It will debut on Netflix on May 20.

The logline reads, “Following the recent death of both of her parents, comedian Sarah Silverman finds comedy in the darkest corners of life. She hilariously navigates the absurdities of death with her signature wit, from unexpectedly finding the ‘deal of a lifetime’ while planning their funerals to cherishing the bittersweet experience of hearing her mother’s last words.”

Filmed at the Beacon Theater in New York, “Sarah Silverman: Postmortem” is directed and executive produced by Silverman, with Amy Zvi and John Skidmore (Best Kept Secret Productions) also executive producing.

Silverman’s last special for Netflix was 2017’s “Speck of Dust.” She has also put out specials with HBO including 2013’s “We Are Miracles” and 2023’s “Someone You Love.

Alan Tudyk’s Hoban “Wash” Washburne was one of the characters you wouldn’t forget from Nathan Fillion’s Firefly. Even though the series ran just for a single season, it was enough for Malcolm Reynolds and his group of misfits aboard the Serenity to make people fall in love with them. Fillion, Tudyk, and the rest of the cast returned for Joss Whedon’s follow-up film, Serenity.

While Fox ruined the show during its original run with a messed-up release order, the show gained a cult status after people discovered Whedon’s intended vision. Fans have since been calling for a revival of the series, despite the film’s box office disappointment.

Alan Tudyk is all for a revival of the beloved series, but he would hate it for the reason that he wouldn’t be able to return to the series.

Disney Dreamlight Valley fans are expressing their frustrations regarding the Valley Visit Station, a mandatory piece of decor that can't be removed from the Valley. The futuristic-looking portal is unlocked through a quest by Vanellope von Schweetz and allows players to access the multiplayer features of Disney's cozy life sim. It might be a useful tool, but many fans wish they could remove the item from their valleys.

Since there isn't an option for complete removal, fans have shared many creative solutions for how to hide the item from sight. In a Reddit thread started by Grouchy_Radish_6676, players come up with some great tips, from effective ways to make the station blend into the background to ways to integrate it into similar-looking decor, and more.

It was criminal that the Best Animated Film category didn’t exist at the Oscars before 2001. Iconic films like The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Aladdin, and Mulan missed out on the golden statuette. While Beauty and the Beast became the first animated feature to be nominated for Best Picture, the absence of a dedicated Animated Feature category left a void in recognizing the artistry of animated films at the Oscars.

The creation of the award, in hindsight, inadvertently confined animated films to their own category. Following the 81st Academy Awards, cinephiles noted that no rule prevented Wall-e from being nominated for Best Picture, sparking debates on animated films’ true recognition.

At the time of the award’s introduction, Disney had cooled off, and Pixar (distributed by Disney) took the reins, dominating with creativity and innovation. Pixar has claimed 11 of the 23 Oscars for Best Animated Feature.

Today, the animated landscape is more competitive than ever.

Many movie lovers are caught up in the chaos of Quentin Tarantino's "final" film. The legendary director seems dedicated to only directing 10 movies in his career in order to leave behind a flawless track record. Despite his basically spotless record, he seems scared to flex his filmmaking chops long into old age. It's admirable that he wants to curate his legacy, but he has to realize that his legacy is not up to him to determine. The legacy of any filmmaker is entirely left up to the audience, and the best way to leave behind a footprint is to give the audience as much material as possible. Recent all time greats like Clint Eastwood have accomplished this, self-mythologizing themselves and chronicling their growth through their films,...

Hollywood has, in recent years, truly begun to crack the code on video game movies. The impressive success of adaptations such as "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" has cemented the fact that we've truly turned a corner in that regard. That being the case, just about every major video game is probably going to be targeted by studios in the coming years, and Grand Theft Auto will undoubtedly be on that list. Interestingly enough, though, a truly excellent movie set in the world of GTA recently hit theaters, and with the full support of GTA creator Rockstar Games, no less.

One would be forgiven for not knowing about it since it's kind of a small movie, but the documentary "Grand Theft Hamlet" recently hit theaters via the folks at Mubi. For those who aren't aware of it, as the title implies, it mashes together the worlds of GTA and William Shakespeare,...

The world's most beloved Disney characters typically have heart, spunk, a fierce ability to love, and occasionally a villainous streak. Their stories steal fans' hearts, and their voices, whether speaking or singing, are instantly recognizable. Fans can hear some of the franchise's most iconic voices among multiple characters in different films.

Viewers might not recognize the voice immediately but eventually, realize that a character in one film sounds similar to another. Whether an actor has a distinct sound or can change their voice to fit any persona, Disney brings many of the best voice actors back for multiple projects.

Disney is known for making some of the most popular animated movies ever, including classics like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. A key reason why their films have remained so popular among generations of fans is thanks to how much audiences have connected to their characters.

Many Disney characters have cute, charming designs that are hard to forget. Whether it is due to their appearance or personality, the endearing characters helming these movies strike chords in audiences that even their silhouettes are recognizable. From timeless characters like Lion King's Simba to contemporary hits like Wreck-It Ralph's Vanellope, Disney has a massive catalog of cute characters.

The best Alan Tudyk movies and TV shows include a strong mix of comedy and action roles and a career full of animated voiceover roles. Tudyk got his start in the entertainment industry in 1997 when he picked up a role in the independent film 35 Miles from Normal, which earned him more attention, including a role in the Robin Williams film Patch Adams, where he played one of the patients in that medical comedy-drama. He got his biggest notice thanks to his supporting role in Heath Ledger’s A Knight’s Tale in 2001.

However, most people know Tudyk from his television roles and his animated voice projects. For his television roles, his most popular are as Wash in Firefly and as Harry in Resident Alien, making him a popular actor for sci-fi and genre fans. He also has several great voice roles, in everything from Ice Age and Wreck-It Ralph to Zootopia...

30 Rock remains one of TV’s most beloved comedy series. It was awarded 16 Emmys in its 7-year stint at NBC. What really set the show apart was both the fast humor and the characters that fans still remember. Developed by Tina Fey and mostly inspired by her own work for Saturday Night Live as a head writer, the show depicted fictional sketches of the working environment of an NBC sketch comedy show.

Most memorable performances from the show were delivered by characters like manipulative executive Jack Donaghey played by Alec Baldwin, and Liz Lemon portrayed by Tina Fey among many others. As we enter 2025, the actors who made viewers laugh for seven seasons have followed different careers.

Disney movies are filled with unforgettable heroes, villains, and several characters in between, but their side characters often steal the show. From loyal animal companions to hilarious comedic relief, these supporting roles add heart, humor and depth to every story.

Whether they’re guiding the protagonist through challenges, providing emotional support, or simply delivering laugh-out-loud moments, Disney’s side characters have become fan favorites in their own right.

With movies like Universal’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog franchise leveling up at the box office, film adaptations of video games are finally being taken seriously in Hollywood. Though many see Mario and Sonic as competitors, times regarding crossovers and team-ups across rival IPs are changing. While walking the blue carpet for Sonic the Hedgehog 3‘s premiere, Sonic voice actor Ben Schwartz told Variety that a team-up of epic proportions could happen as a Super Smash Bros. movie. While nothing is in the works, a film based on Nintendo’s legendary platform fighting game would be monumental, and now I can’t stop thinking about the possibilities.

When asked if there’s a Sonic crossover he’d like to see, Schwartz told Variety, “There’s two things I would love. I love Chris Pratt. I think he’s amazing, and he plays...

A sleeper science fiction comedy hit since its debut in 2021, "Resident Alien" has steadily been entertaining audiences with its extraterrestrial hijinks. The show adapts the comic book of the same name by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, starring Alan Tudyk as an alien hiding in the small town of Patience, Colorado. Posing as the town's doctor Harry Vanderspeigle, the alien initially intends to wipe out humanity as part of his otherworldly directive, but then he learns to appreciate it. This change of heart is informed by the friends that Harry makes in town, with "Resident Alien" boasting a strong ensemble of actors joining Tudyk.

A lot of the charm in "Resident Alien" comes from its principal cast, along with the solid writing by series creator Chris Sheridan. As the series progresses, much of these characters' backstories are gradually revealed, giving heart to the wacky sci-fi antics Harry unleashes on the town.

Hello Kitty is undoubtedly one of the best-known brands in the world. The character first appeared in 1975 on a vinyl coin purse, after having been created a year before by Yukio Shimizu. Sanrio owns the rights to the character, who has appeared in numerous aspects of popular culture, from video games to anime.

In this report, we are going to provide you with more information about the announced Hello Kitty movie, a project that Warner Bros. announced back in 2019. Since then, updates on the project have been scarce, but as it seems, it is – indeed – moving forward.

Hello Kitty fans have just received a major update on the upcoming Warner Bros. and FlynnPictureCo's movie. Per a new report, the rough script has finally been completed, five years after the film's initial announcement.

Via Nikkei, Sanrio president Tomokuni Tsuji was in Beverly Hills in mid-August to meet with Leo Matsuda, the co-director of the upcoming Hello Kitty movie (alongside Jennifer Coyle). Matsuda reportedly told Tsuji, "Hello Kitty's 'Getting Along Together' concept is applicable worldwide." Nikkei adds that while the film's release date is undecided, a rough script has notably been completed, and Tsuji, Matsuda and others are currently working to finalize the concept.

2012's Wreck-It Ralph was a unique movie for Disney in a lot of ways. It was a hit-animated film that used video game tropes in a way that many other movies based on actual video games had not succeeded previously. It had a fairly positive reception from both audiences and critics alike and got a sequel in 2018: Ralph Breaks the Internet. Introduced in the movie was a new character whose Disney Princess status has been largely overlooked since the film's debut: Vanellope von Schweetz. Vanellope is a feisty young racer from a fictional racing video game called Sugar Rush.

Voiced by Sarah Silverman, Vanellope's spunky attitude reflects that of her vocal talent.

Some of Disney's modern films have used the same trope over and over again. The iconic studio has been churning out animated classics for over a century now, with new ones coming out every year. From Disney's timeless classics like Peter Pan and Cinderella to modern hits like Frozen and Moana, Disney movies have covered a vast assortment of topics and stories as they continue to entertain their audiences.

However, in recent years, it does feel as though the studio has become a bit more repetitive in its storytelling. It has become noticeable that several tropes seem to appear in just about every movie Disney has produced in the last decade or two. While these elements are likely included because they generally appeal to audiences, they can certainly cause the films to feel redundant if used too frequently. Whether viewers like them or not, these common tropes have come to...

Box Office: Moana 2 $ Wicked Are On Their Way To Set New Thanksgiving Holiday Record (Photo Credit – Instagram)

This November, rather than this Thanksgiving, will be remembered for a long time by the film industry and the exhibitors. The trio of Moana 2, Wicked, and Gladiator II will smash the box office and take the total reportedly above $300 million to $400 million. The Moana sequel is the main force driving the collection past 2018’s record-breaking Thanksgiving weekend. It was mainly because of Ralph Breaks the Internet in 2018. Scroll below for the deets.

Ralph Breaks the Internet was released in 2018 and was directed by Rich Moore and Phil Johnston. It was the sequel to 2012’s Wreck It Ralph. It collected an estimated $18.5 million on its release day, which was the biggest opening day ever for a Thanksgiving release. John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, and Ed O’Neill reprised their character roles from the first film.

Hello Kitty fans finally have an update on the official upcoming movie by Warner Bros., FlynnPictureCo., and Sanrio, receiving some positive production news nearly six years after its initial announcement in 2019 and three years since its previous major update.

Following years of silence, the Hello Kitty movie is still in production at Warner Bros., as revealed in a Sanrio media alert by Fortune through Afp last month. The film was first announced nearly six years ago in March 2019, with Warner's New Line Cinema (Lord of the Rings trilogy) and FlynnPictureCo. acquiring the rights to the film. The official Hello Kitty theme park in Hainan, China, is likewise on track to open next year.

One charming aspect of early "The Simpsons" seasons is how janky the animation looks. Season one of the show was a marked improvement over the animated shorts that buttressed "The Tracey Ullman Show" commercial breaks back in the '80s, but it still looked pretty funky compared to the series that airs today. Back when "Futurama" premiered almost 25 years ago, however, the show actually looked pretty good. Matt Groening's second major TV project debuted with a relatively clean animation style that took advantage of 3D rendering to deliver a hybrid 2D/3D style that set the aesthetics of "Futurama" apart from "The Simpsons."

Of course, as with any TV series, initial designs weren't quite the same as what we eventually saw on-screen. For example, an early design for Bender gave him three antennas, gloves, and Bart Simpson's clothes.

As Disney announces what the new Villains Land will be like, it just proves why a 5th gate would be better for Wdw!

D23 had a lot of big announcements for Disney World. Among them was the transformation of Frontierland into a Cars-themed area, getting rid of the Rivers of America, which has not been a popular decision.

There's also the confirmation of the long-rumored Villains Land, which does make sense. An area dedicated to Disney villains is logical, and the artwork is unique, showcasing it. We now have a bit more info courtesy of D23 Brazil as Disney Parks head Josh D'Amaro announced which villains are coming to the land:

Moana 2 looks to be fixing Disney Animation's recent villain problem. Set a few years after the events of the first Moana, the new film will bring back the titular wayfinder as she embarks on a new quest across the ocean. This is a great chance for the film to expand her universe, bringing back fan-favorites while setting up Moana 2's cast of characters to grow in exciting ways. One of the most intriguing of these new characters is Matangi, one of the film's antagonists.

Played by Awhimai Fraser, Matangi is set to be one of Disney's only overt villains since 2010's Tangled. For the last fourteen years, Disney villains have gone through an interesting (and sometimes very compelling) direction that has also had the unfortunate side-effect of making them less memorable. Even Wish's attempt to course-correct with Chris Pine's King Magnifico ultimately didn't work. Here's the...

When fans first tune into Dancing with the Stars, they may assume that the reality show is just about seeing people dance. However, like other reality shows, there is a lot of Dancing with the Stars drama. For example, a pro spoke out about Anna Delvey, fans are shocked the pros get paid so much less than the stars, and even the Hough siblings have had bad blood. With all that in mind, it makes sense that so many Real Housewives have competed on DWTS.

While appearing on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast, Gil’s Arena, he indicated he spent nine hours the other day practicing dances.

Howard also spoke about his harrowing ordeal during another reality TV competition show.

According to Howard, he experienced “Ptsd” after he participated in Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

Watch the new trailer below.

The second animated feature from John Lasseter-led Skydance Animation (part of the impending Paramount-Skydance Media merger), the musical fantasy from director Vicky Jenson (“Shrek”) is a modern fairy tale that takes place in the mythical kingdom of Lumbria as Princess Ellian embarks on “an invigorating quest” to break the spell. Boasting bright, eye-catching animation from Skydance Animation Madrid, the look of Lumbria (production designed by Brett Nystul) was influenced by the iconic architecture of ancient Spain, known for its domed rooftops and Moorish arches.

There is a decidedly Disney-esque musical spectacle propelling this modern fairy tale, led by eight-time Oscar...

NBA Champion Dwight Howard with partner Daniella Karagach. Howard suffered from some serious stage fright last week, which impacted his performance and pushed him down the leaderboard. He’s got to take control of his anxiety! He certainly did something, because his tango to a Wreck-It Ralph tune was filled with joy. The audience was wowed! Inaba, however, wasn’t. “The way you are able to get through that tango is very impressive that needs to be celebrated,” she said. “But you did have a lot of mistakes and you did go off time a lot.

Judge Derek Hough called it “martial arts with the stars” and predicted the number would be a viral hit. The action-packed routine earned three 9s for a score of 27.

The remaining eight couples paid tribute to iconic Disney characters, including Ariel, Hercules, Tarzan and Cruella de Vil. Week 6 also brought the first group dances of the season, set to songs from “The Goofy Movie” and “The Lion King.”
