Recent shows at the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, along with comments from people in the theater world, have sparked speculation that Disney might create a stage version of Tangled. However, Disney hasn’t officially confirmed any plans. During the festival, which took place from January 16 to February 23, 2026, Disney on Broadway showcased concerts featuring songs from its animated movies.
Things turn around for Dermot when he discovers a farmer in Cork selling a valuable collection of Robert Johnson blues records for just £30 – a tiny fraction of their actual worth of £40,000. The rest of the film follows Dermot and his companion on a road trip in an old, unreliable car. Like many road movies, they encounter a series of funny mishaps along the way, meeting characters like a nun (Claire Malone) and a stripper (Kimberley Wyatt, a former Pussycat Doll who is proving to be a talented actress), and a potential love interest.
Though the original film by John Alan Schwartz came out 48 years ago, its core idea feels incredibly relevant today. We’re all constantly bombarded with strange and often unsettling AI-generated content online, much like the film’s premise. The original was a notoriously violent horror movie, so extreme it was banned in dozens of countries – a fact that became a brilliant marketing slogan: “banned in 46 countries.” By establishing the original film as part of the story, the writers, Isa Mazzei and Goldhaber, have given themselves a lot of creative freedom. Back in 2023, when the reboot was announced, Mazzei and Goldhaber shared some interesting thoughts about their approach.
The 2017 film showed an Apex Cybernetics base on Skull Island, and Kong’s arrival quickly disrupted things.

Stories about time travel often don’t focus on the details of how time travel works. Instead, they use it as a simple way to move the plot forward, and frequently ignore the rules they initially set up.
Watching Boruto, it’s clear the powers work very differently than in Naruto. Instead of focusing on things like chakra control, strategy, and hard work, Boruto characters seem to gain power through this idea of Otsutsuki evolution, which unlocks incredibly strong and unique abilities. It really feels like Boruto is leaning into these almost unbelievable powers, a big shift from the more grounded, skill-based battles we saw in Naruto.
Actually, The Godfather isn’t even Robert Duvall’s strongest work with director Francis Ford Coppola in the crime genre. They teamed up again just two years later on The Conversation, a brilliant but often overlooked crime film that came after The Godfather revolutionized filmmaking.
Musafar was a leading figure in the “Modern Primitives” movement, a subculture known for pushing the boundaries of body modification through extreme piercing and tattooing. This practice often blended spiritual exploration with altered states of consciousness and fostered a uniquely queer community. Once unfairly labeled as self-harm or exploitative, this art form is now increasingly recognized as “outsider art,” beautifully highlighted in the film A Body to Live In by filmmaker Angelo Madsen Minax. Despite showcasing intense body modifications, the film is surprisingly easy to watch because it emphasizes the deliberate and meaningful nature of Musafar’s work.
