We might not get fireworks this Fourth of July, but we will have them inside our homes. That is because Bob Iger, Executive Chairman, The Walt Disney Company, and Lin-Manuel Miranda announced on Good Morning America this morning that Hamilton will be coming to Disney+ on July 3rd.
This recording of the Broadway show’s performance was recorded for three days back in June 2016 before some of the original cast members left the musical to pursue other opportunities. It is directed by the man who directed the original production.
Miranda described it as, “just imagine having the best seat in the house.” Now, we have the best seat in that house, in our houses anytime we want! See fireworks!
This movie was originally slated to hit the big screens in October 2021, I am so thankful Disney moved it because it is exactly what we all need now.
Last year, Disney+ announced that they were reviving Lizzie McGuire with Hilary Duff. Then last month, they fired the creator, because they wanted to go in a different direction, and put the show’s production on hold. Yesterday, the actress took to social media, asking that Lizzie move from Disney+ to its sister streaming site Hulu like the Love, Simon sequel will do.
Was incredibly excited to launch “Lizzie” on Da- and my passion remains! However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans’ relationship with LIZZIE who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her. I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating. It’s important to me that just as her experiences as a preteen / teenager navigating life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable. It would be o dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again!”.
To me, it sounds that Lizzie will no longer be happening. At least we are getting Proud Family!
Over the weekend, we fell in love with Lady and The Tramp all over again. Today, we have more reason to arfdore the live-action film that is coming to Disney+ on November 12th. Justin Theroux shared Monty’s (The Tramp) story and it is the perfect tail, I mean tale, for National Dog Holiday. A day, my cat thinks is far from purrfect.
Anyways, here is what Theroux wrote:
MEET MONTY!!!! 🐕 ❤️ Sometimes things work out perfectly. PLEASE scroll through for HIS VERY very cool story.. Monty was rescued from @halorescue … an amazing NO KILL shelter in Phoenix AZ 🙏🏼 … he was found by @disney who was looking for shelter animals to cast in LADY AND THE TRAMP! IN which there are TONS of rescue dogs. 🐾 Woohoo! Including, yours truly… KUMA who was given a really huge starring role (okay, it was teensy but don’t tell her 😬). A huge thank you to @disney for giving not just Monty, but so many dogs a big break, not just in the movie, but a life outside of the shelter!
And a huge thank you @ladyandthetramp for letting me be Monty’s voice, so he can show the world how amazing shelter animals really are.

@tessamaethompson my Lady! ❤️
I love when movies, like this and Pet Sematary, give rescue animals a second chance of life. One that is better than us people, who walk on two legs, can ever imagine. Thank you, Disney, for rescuing Monty and all of the other dogs.
My first cat was a stray and my other two are rescues. Therefore, I strongly believe is Adopt Don’t Shop. Thank you to Seth and Rachel MacFarlane, and Heaven on Earth for letting me adopt my latest furbaby from Perry’s Place.
We are less than four months away until the final episode of Star Wars comes out and now we are seeing some video from Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker. Over the weekend, Disney released a special look at the film during a panel at D23.
Fans of the franchise say that they can predict what might be happening, but they will not know for sure until December 20th. At that point, all the answers will be answered. Unless you cannot get the day off of work to see it. Then you will have to wait until the 21st. Or if you are Jewish, then on the 25th.
I wonder if this movie will beat out Avengers: End Game in box office titles. I doubt it, so it will be interesting to see how it does as compared to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I still have not seen that movie.
Like OMG! Hilary Duff is going back to where it all started for her because Disney+ is doing a Lizzie McGuire revival for the streaming service. We don’t know when it will air, who will be part of it or what it is about. However, we do know that show creator Terri Minsky and Hilary Duff are attached!
The series that was a mix of live-action and animation aired from 2001-2004 with a 2003 movie on the big screen.
If that is not enough exciting news for you Disney Channel fans, they also announced Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe.
How excited are you that that is happening? Netflix must be getting nervous or at least they should be.
