Disney made the 2000s a decade to remember. In addition to teaming up (and eventually buying) the masterful CGI animation studio known as Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios got busy dreaming up its own theatrical hits. This combination made for many critically and commercially successful films. We’re here to look at the best of these now, using the ranking system on Rotten Tomatoes. The review aggregation website has given every Disney film to be released during the years 2000 and 2009 a Tomatometer rating....

Hidden Figures screenwriter Allison Schroeder has been recruited to cowrite Disney’s Frozen 2 with Jennifer Lee (who is further co-directing the film alongside Chris Buck). In addition to her Oscar-nominated screenwriting efforts on the aforementioned historical NASA memoir, Schroeder recently cowrote the Mouse House’s live-action film Christopher Robin (which opened in theaters earlier this month). Disney finally confirmed that it was making a Frozen sequel in March 2015, more than a year after its original animated fairy tale musical became an Oscar-winning smash hit that grossed close to $1....

Earlier today, Apple unveiled a host of new accessibility features coming to iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS later this year. In the screenshots shown off in Apple’s press release, we can see what appears to be the Settings app with inset cells and a navigation bar that’s merged with the background. While both of these things are already possible to do in iOS 14, it looks like we might be getting a first look at a subtle but welcome UI refresh....

In anticipation of Detective Pikachu arriving in theaters next month, Twitter released some Poke-tastic new emojis featuring five of the best-loved first generation Pokemon. Originally released as a spinoff video game for the 3DS, Detective Pikachu felt like a curious choice for a first ever live-action Pokemon movie and as the project progressed, even more unexpected details began to emerge. Ryan Reynolds, fresh from Deadpool success, was announced as voicing the titular electric mouse, with supporting turns from Ken Watanabe, popstar Rita Ora, acting veteran Bill Nighy and a selection of younger talent....

According to Digitimes, Apple’s next-generation iPad mini’s enhancements will center around the device’s display resolution. Digitimes says its sources did not specify whether or not this new iPad mini would feature a Retina display, but knowing Apple’s want to ensure application compatibility, it is highly likely that if Apple goes higher-resolution on the iPad mini, they will be going to the third and fourth-generation 9.7-inch iPad’s resolution of 2048 x 1536 (something to note is that Digitimes says that the current 9....

Disney Parks revealed the title of their Star Wars land will be Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and it will include a Millennium Falcon attraction. Lucasfilm’s Star Wars franchise has been massively popular since George Lucas’ Episode IV - A New Hope debuted in theaters in 1977. For some time, Star Wars only consisted of the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy - with the latter receiving a bad reputation among fans - but when Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, it was with the reveal that they had plans to revive the immensely beloved brand....

New concept art for Disney’s upcoming Star Wars resort has been revealed, teasing an immersive new experience for fans. Disney’s long-running Star Tours was once the best way to dive into the world of Star Wars, but that all promised to change when the company bought up Lucasfilm. The result has seen an explosion of Star Wars media, but it’s also meant the imminent arrival of a new themed land coming to Disney Parks in Florida and California....

If you’re looking to step up the production value of your videos shot on iPhone, then boosting the sound quality is an easy way to do so. While no shortage of hardwired external microphones are available, a truly wireless microphone setup, like what we find with the late-2021-announced DJI Mic, provides much greater flexibility. The $329 DJI Mic, which is now available, is a wireless microphone system based around two transmitters and a receiver....

Detective Pikachu didn’t have the smartest story for a video game movie, but it’s exactly what the first live-action Pokémon film needed to be. The thing is, gamers have been eager for a good video game movie for decades. Truth be told, Hollywood has come close a few times with ventures like Tomb Raider and Warcraft, but Detective Pikachu is the first video game movie to garner enough critical praise and box office success to feel like the long-awaited triumph gamers have deserved....

The DCEU has not been without controversy and Diane Lane may have accidentally added to that by saying Justice League won’t be better than The Avengers. Warner Bros. has made a big push to get the DCEU off the ground and running, and one of the biggest ways to jump start the universe has been the formation of the Justice League before each character gets a solo movie. This strategy allows for Justice League to come out years before and capitalize on the boom in comic book movies, which can be largely equated to the success of The Avengers....

After an extensive testing period, DirecTV Now is officially launching its Cloud DVR feature to everyone. Though the company notes the feature is still technically in “beta,” everyone can now give it a shot.

The popular game franchise that captivated players first on the PlayStation 2 is now on PS4! In the 2020 release of Destroy All Humans on PS4, we are introduced to all new trophies and achievements waiting to be unlocked. But for the sake of the long-time fans of the classic Destroy All Humans games, the developers made sure to maintain the game’s originality. This means that even the new release, which came out only a few weeks ago, contains similar stories and missions with the first instalment of the game from 15 years ago....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 writer/director James Gunn has finally met Mark Hamill. It may still be a few years and (at least) four more MCU films before the next adventure for everyone’s favorite cosmic heroes hits theaters, but it already appears that Hamill could be among the new players that join the Marvel Studios sub-franchise in Vol 3… assuming his coffee date with Gunn went as well as Gunn says it did....

You may have noticed that if you visit some website on Google Chrome, a pop-up springs up asking to show you all notifications from that site. Then either you click Allow or Block notifications. I know for most of you guys it’s irritating to see that pop-up. So, I will tell you how you can disable constant notifications from any website. Let me tell you that this tweak is only possible if you are accessing a site using the Chrome browser on a PC....

A recent survey shows the majority of Netflix customers have no interest in subscribing to the Disney Plus streaming service. The Mouse House has been working overtime for the past year to makes its upcoming streamer a viable alternative to Netflix, between purchasing Fox’s movie and TV show assets to beef up Disney Plus’ library of content, and producing brand-new shows like The Mandalorian (the first ever live-action Star Wars series) as exclusives for the platform....

Long-time fans of the Pokémon franchise were treated to some amazing renditions of their favorite Pokémon in Detective Pikachu. They were brought to realistic life by the creative teams at The Pokémon Company and Warner Bros Studios. Fan favorites like Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle (who work as tiny firefighters!), are all there, as well as many others from the first generation of Pocket Monsters. Other generations get their due as well, like Greninja (employed as ninja-star throwing henchmen) and Loudred (as beatboxing DJ’s) which feature prominently....
