‘Lilo & Stitch’ (2025)

Dean Fleischer Camp directs this live-action adaptation of the animated favorite, following Hawaiian sisters Lilo and Nani as their home life collides with an interstellar chase when “Experiment 626”—soon nicknamed Stitch—crash-lands on Earth.

Marc Webb’s live-action re-imagining adapts the landmark animated feature into a contemporary fairy-tale adventure, following Snow White’s clash with the Evil Queen and her alliance with companions who help her reclaim her standing.

Rachel Zegler stars as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen. The production is led by producer Marc Platt, with a screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson and new songs by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul alongside classic melodies; additional score work is by Jeff Morrow.

‘The Amateur’ (2025)

The narrative moves through major European capitals as a desk analyst evolves into an operator chasing a trail that turns increasingly personal.

James Hawes directs the adaptation of Robert Littell’s novel, with a screenplay by Gary Spinelli and additional work by Ken Nolan.

‘LEGO Disney Princess: Villains Unite’ (2025)

In this animated special, Gaston hatches a scheme with classic villains—among them Ursula, Jafar, and the Evil Queen—that pushes a cross-princess team-up into motion via the Magic Mirror. The brisk adventure brings together fan-favorite heroines in brick form for a quest that hops between kingdoms.

Randi Rodrigues and Jake Wilkinson direct, with a voice cast featuring Auliʻi Cravalho as Moana, Mandy Moore as Rapunzel, Anika Noni Rose as Tiana, Jodi Benson as Ariel, and Katie Von Till as Snow White. Additional performances include Jennifer Hale, Julie Nathanson, Kate Higgins, Richard White, Jonathan Freeman, and Susanne Blakeslee; the special carries a TV-G rating and runs around the half-hour mark.

‘Incredibles 2’ (2018)

The sequel picks up immediately after the first film, with Elastigirl fronting a campaign to restore public trust in supers while Bob Parr stays home to manage Violet, Dash, and a rapidly developing Jack-Jack. A new foe called the Screenslaver leverages media and perception, forcing the family to balance domestic life with a coordinated response.

Brad Bird writes and directs for Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures. Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter return as Bob and Helen, with Sarah Vowell, Huck Milner, and Samuel L. Jackson rounding out the family and friends; new additions include Bob Odenkirk as Winston Deavor and Catherine Keener as Evelyn Deavor. Michael Giacchino returns to compose the score.

Set during a glacial migration, this adventure follows a mismatched trio—a woolly mammoth named Manny, a talkative sloth named Sid, and a solitary saber-toothed tiger named Diego—who are thrust together to return a lost human baby to its tribe. Their journey runs into shifting herds, treacherous ice fields, and a persistent saber-toothed squirrel named Scrat whose acorn antics punctuate the trek.
