The #Zootopia2 trailer dropped today which expands the universe to include...reptiles. For @cartoonbrew.bsky.social,
I spoke w/ co-directors Byron Howard & WDA CCO Jared Bush about building out the world & where the sequel fits in their overall studio goals:

Emma Thompson battles Judy Greer on the frozen tundra of Dead Of Winter, and that's all that needs to be said Emma Thompson gets her own grizzled geezer action movie in Dead Of Winter. Even better, she's up against Judy Greer.

Emma Thompson vs Judy Greer on paper is a match-up that immediately has my attention. They star in #DeadofWinter which opens today in theaters. I found it to be an absorbing thriller that's also an effective meditation on loss. My @avclub.com review:

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey Is an Engaging Road Trip Until It Crashes Out Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell are inspired, but A Big Bold Beautiful Journey cheats us of the catharsis it aims to deliver.

For half of #ABigBoldBeautifulJourney, I was charmed by the tone & Robbie & Farrell's chemistry. And then it crashed out hard in the last act. What a disappointment. My

Yesterday, while @tarabennett.bsky.social & I were at @theacademyusa.bsky.social Museum, we were thrilled to discover the Academy Museum Store sells our book 'Marvel Studios: The Art of Ryan Meinerding.'

This was a special moment. And so we say, "Thank you to the Academy" for liking our book. :)

Exactly - Andor over both.
