A new trailer for the upcoming Dreamworks Animation film, Trolls, has debuted.

Are you excited for the film?
In sad news, actor Anton Yelchin has passed away at the age of 27 due to a freak car accident. He was found pinned between his car and a security fence. Anton Yelchin (1989-2016) was probably best known for his appearances in the recent Star Trek films as well as in Alpha Dog, Charlie Bartlett, and Terminator Salvation.
In terms of animation, he provided the voices of Shun in the English dub of From Up on Poppy Hill,
the Albino Pirate in the American version of The Pirates! Band of Misfits,
and Clumsy Smurf in the recent Smurfs films.
He shall be missed!

We finally got the teaser trailer for Disney’s upcoming film, Moana, and it’s looking amazing! The animation is gorgeous, the characters (especially the pig) look awesome, and it looks like a great deal of fun! I wish we saw more characters though, but this was a joy to see after the tragedy that happened in my hometown this morning!
What do you think of the teaser trailer? Are you excited for the movie?
We’ve finally gotten a full-length trailer for the upcoming animated Illumination Entertainment film, Sing.
I’ve always been optimistic about this film and am still liking what I’m seeing. Yes, it probably won’t be an Inside Out, but I think it’s interesting enough to hold its own and is definitely a lot more intriguing than something like The Secret Life of Pets is.

The sad news today is that actor Alan Young has passed away at the age of 96! Alan Young (1919-2016) was an actor in films and TV shows with many knowing him from his role on the sitcom, Mr. Ed.
But, Disney fans knew him best as the voice of the stingy Scottish Scrooge McDuck in various films/TV shows from the 1980s to the present.
He also was the voice of Mr. Flaversham in The Great Mouse Detective.
Mr. Young, you shall be missed!
