So They’re Making a Scooby Doo Cartoon Movie
There have been approximately one million Scooby Doo cartoon reboots and relaunches over the years. And now for the first time ever, they’re making a cartoon movie for the big screen. Here comes Scoob!
What an odd trailer. Looks like an awkward origin movie, crossed with an alien abduction story? I don’t know. It just looks so weird. I was a big fan of A Pup Named Scooby Doo when I was a kid, but seeing Scooby as a puppy in that trailer was kinda creepy!
Anyway, it comes out on May 15, for better or worse.

Pixar is Just Cranking Them Out Now!
We already know that Onward is coming out next year from Pixar, but now we’ve also got Soul! Perhaps Pixar is going back to meaningful, non-sequel movies. I have hope.
Though that cowboy dance at the end isn’t very heartening. Must even Pixar reduce themselves to silly nonsense comedy? Leave that to the Arctic Dogs of the world.
Soul comes out on June 19.

6 Things I Want to See in the Into the Spider-Verse Sequel
It was excitingly inevitable that we would get a sequel to the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I really do think the animated feature is my favorite of all the many Spider-Man movies. It was just a brilliant use of the character, exploring the meaning of being a hero with verve, wit, flashy animation and pretty much perfect everything.
Only two years away!
So what can we expect to see in a sequel to something so expansive and creative as Into the Spider-Verse? There are some obvious answers, especially considering that tease at the end of the movie. And obviously we’ll probably see all of the main characters back for another go around. But surely with the Spider-Verse foundation built, we’re going to go bigger and wilder when the movie arrives in 2022.
Join me after the jump for some ideas and characters I’d like to see in the big, hopefully bombastic sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse!
New Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Trailer Sure is Something!
The newest and possibly last trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker arrived last night and it sure is something! It’s chock full of Star Wars stuff and peeks at characters we knew were going to be in the movie.
I’m sure the movie will be fine. I liked The Last Jedi just fine, and I’m largely interested in these characters. I hope it ends well. I hope there are exciting lightsaber moments.
I dunno. I’m not particularly excited and I’m not particularly worried that it’s going to suck. It’s just going to be another Star Wars movie, and that will be that.
The Rise of Skywalker comes out on Dec. 20!
