“Jungle Cruise” Poster and Trailer

I went on the Jungle Cruise ride at Disneyland when I was a youngster. It was my favorite ride at the time because it was so mellow. I am sure Jaume Collet-Serra is not creating such a laid-back movie.

Jungle Cruise stars Emily Blunt as Lily Houghton and Dwayne Johnson as Frank. Disney Studios describes the movie based on the theme park ride. A small riverboat takes a group of travelers through a jungle filled with dangerous animals and reptiles, but with a supernatural element.

Glenn Ficarra, Michael Green, and John Requa scripted the movie. The movie also stars Jesse Plemons and Paul Giamatti.

The last line in the trailer delivered by Blunt, “This is real,” says it all.

“The Little Prince” Featurette

Directed by Mark Osborne, The Little Prince is a feature-length animated film inspired by the French novella Le Petit Prince, first published in 1943 by poet, author, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The novella is one of my daughter’s favorite books.

The movie uses four types of animation: hand-drawn 2D animation, CG animation, paper cutout animation, and stop-motion animation to bring this fable of friendship, love, loss, and loneliness to life.

The Little Prince cast of voices is impressive by Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Mackenzie Foy, Marion Cotillard, James Franco, Albert Brooks, Benicio Del Toro, Ricky Gervais, Bud Cort, and Riley Osborne with Paul Giamatti. The Little Prince includes an original score and songs by Hans Zimmer and Richard Harvey featuring Camille.

I have to admit this trailer is so cute and sweet. Netflix is producing some notable movies, and I am a happy subscriber.
