The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences today revealed the nominees for its third annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, the stand-alone competition that honors creativity and innovation in children’s entertainment.

See the full list below.

Winners will be feted during the 2024 Children’s & Family Emmys ceremony March 15 in Los Angeles. Winners in the Juried Individual Achievement in Animation categories will be announced early next year, as will the Lifetime Achievement honoree and ceremony host and presenters.

“This year’s nominations are particularly meaningful as much of the work being honored was delayed due to last year’s strikes,” said Rachel Schwartz, Head of the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards. “It is a privilege to have been named head of a competition that is not only honoring exceptional talent but is also shaping the way children and their families interact with the world.”

French animation outfit Blue Spirit (the studio behind Netflix sensation “Blue Eye Samurai”) will introduced an in-house digital creation and development label under the moniker Blue Spirit Creative. Offering full-service creative and graphic development for features, series, ads and games, the creative label will be run by the Paris-based team behind Digital Banana, which Blue Spirit acquired last year.

“We can now offer a one-stop-shop,” says Blue Spirit CEO Olivier Lelardoux. “Whether in 2D, 3D, real-time engines or across hybrid models, we can guarantee it all through Blue Spirit Creative.”

The new label will launch with four development projects already in the pipeline – including two American brands – but for the most part will specialize in pan-European content. Across the pond, Blue Spirit will team with Ottawa-based studio Mercury Filmworks (“The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse”) to launch Seraphim, targeting the US market with premium and adult skewing content.

The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, a popular animated series, is coming to an end after releasing over 120 episodes since 2013. The final short film, "Steamboat Silly," pays homage to Mickey Mouse's first appearance in "Steamboat Willie" and features a meta twist on the story. "Steamboat Silly" is being released just before Mickey Mouse's copyright for his appearance in "Steamboat Willie" expires, and it remains to be seen if Disney will use it to retain the copyright. The short premieres on July 28th on Disney+.

The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, Disney’s series of animated short films that tells fun stories starring Mickey, Minnie, and more, is coming to a close. The shorts under what would become this umbrella were released in 2013 (they were originally known simply as Mickey Mouse shorts), and over 120 episodes have been released between 2013 to 2023. The shorts have also won a number of Emmy awards,...

Finding Easter movies to watch can be a difficult task, as the holiday is not as universally marketable compared to holidays like Halloween and Christmas, but there are some great Easter movies on Disney Plus. The streaming service boasts an impressive library, and many of the best movies on Disney Plus are its animated classics or entries in massive cinematic franchises like Star Wars and the MCU. But its catalog also has movies for every holiday, including Easter.

Easter is a unique holiday in that it's celebrated and viewed in many different ways. For some, Easter is associated with the beginning of spring, and animals like bunnies and newly-hatched chicks. Others might think of holiday traditions like Easter egg hunts or getting presents from the Easter Bunny, and some celebrate Easter as a Christian holiday. The Easter movies on Disney Plus have something for everyone, and the streaming service offers...

Margo Martindale and Chris Diamantopoulos have been cast in the lead roles of the upcoming Amazon series “The Sticky,” Variety has learned exclusively.

The show was originally ordered at Amazon back in April 2022. As previously reported, the series is inspired by the true story of “The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.” The real heist involved the theft of $18 million dollars (Cad) of of Quebec’s national maple syrup, which is more than 70% of the global maple syrup supply.

Per the official logline for the half-hour comedy series, “‘The Sticky’ revolves around Ruth Clarke (Martindale), a tough, supremely competent middle-aged Canadian maple syrup farmer who’s had it with being hemmed in by the polite, bureaucratic conventions native to her country’s identity. Especially now that that very bureaucracy is threatening to take away everything she loves: Her farm, her comatose husband, and her right to freedom. With the help of Remy Bouchard,...

The television academy first formally acknowledged the art of small screen music composition by honoring the “Dragnet” score in 1955, and they have similarly awarded other series every year since 1968. Since 2019, only continuing scripted shows have been allowed to compete for the Best Music for Series Emmy, while others are now either relegated to the Best Music for Limited Series or Best Music for Documentary Series categories.

The 2022 slate of Best Music for Series nominees includes comedies “The Flight Attendant” (HBO Max), “Only Murders in the Building” (Hulu) and “Schmigadoon!” (Apple TV+) and dramas “Loki” (Disney+), “Severance” (Apple TV+) and “Succession” (HBO). Each nominated composer, most of whom have been recognized before, currently has a shot at achieving their first victory in this category. The playing field sounds fairly level, but let’s look closer to see if any contenders have a leg up. Be sure to make your Emmy predictions...

July is the month that North America goes back to the movies in earnest. There have already been some theatrical release of note this summer, but as everyone knows the blockbuster movie season doesn’t get started until a Marvel movie premieres. Thankfully, with its list of new releases for July 2021, Disney+ is offering up some options for those who prefer to stay home.

In addition to arriving in theaters on July 9, Black Widow will premiere on Disney+ as well. Disney+ subscribers can purchase the first Marvel movie released since 2019 for $29.99. Judging by the early buzz, that “Premier Access” price may be worth it. Disney+ is keeping the original summer movie parade going in July with The Rock’s latest action film, Jungle Cruise, premiering on July 30.

Disney+ is shaking up its release strategy for its original series.

The popular streaming service has announced episodes will unspool on Wednesdays instead of Fridays.

That's right:

Wednesday is the new Friday at Disney+!

The news comes a week after the series premiere of Loki broke records, becoming the most-watched Disney+ premiere to date.

This means it beat out The Mandalorian, WandaVision, and even Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

As a result, a string of original series with already planned premieres have found their dates changed.

Below is the full list.

- Monsters at Work from July 2, 2021 to July 7, 2021

- Turner & Hooch from July 16, 2021 to July 21, 2021

- Behind the Attraction from July 16, 2021 to July 21, 2021

Loki, the Tom Hiddleston-fronted Marvel television series, premiered on Disney+ on Wednesday, June 9.

This was a bit of a surprise given that it originally was dated for a Friday and other series such as WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier had launched just ahead of the weekend.

But the move paid off as Disney+ said that Loki, which was created by Michael Waldron and directed by Kate Herron, became its most-watched series premiere.

Going forward, the streamer will drop all of its originals on Wednesdays. This will include all original scripted, unscripted and animated series.

Disney+ Original Movies will continue to premiere on Fridays.

Here are the new premiere dates for several series:

Monsters at Work moves from July 2 to July 7

Turner & Hooch moves from July 16 to July 21

Behind the Attraction moves from July 16 to July 21

Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life moves from July 23 to July 28

For Disney+, Wednesday is officially the new Friday.

In the wake of Loki‘s record-setting midweek launch, Disney+ has decided to abandon its traditional Friday episode “drops” for all of its original series in favor of Wednesday, TVLine has learned. (Disney+ original movies will continue to premiere on Fridays.)

Disney Plus will now starting releasing its original series episodes on Wednesdays instead of Fridays, the streamer announced.

The news comes on the heels of the launch of the Marvel Studios series “Loki” on the platform, which has now released two episodes on Disney Plus as of June 16.

According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, the decision will apply to all scripted, unscripted, and animated series going forward. Disney Plus original movies will continue to be released on Fridays.

The move will officially take effect for all other Disney Plus shows aside from “Loki” beginning in July. As such, the premiere dates of multiple shows — including “Monsters at Work” and “Turner and Hooch” — have now shifted and can be seen below.

Premiere date changes:

“Monsters at Work” from July 2, 2021 to July 7, 2021

“Turner & Hooch” from July 16, 2021 to July 21, 2021

“Behind the Attraction” from July 16, 2021 to July 21, 2021

Disney+ is permanently switching up the release schedule for its original series from Fridays to Wednesday. The decision comes after Marvel Studios’ “Loki,” which debuted last Wednesday, became the most-watched original series in the streaming service’s short history.

The new release schedule will apply globally and begin with the service’s July original series, which include Pixar’s “Monsters at Work” and the reboot of “Turner and Hooch.” “Monsters at Work” will now premiere on July 7, while “Turner and Hooch” will debut two weeks later on July 21.

Before “Loki,” Disney+ premiered all of its original series on Fridays. Unlike other streaming services, particularly Netflix, Disney+ has stuck to a weekly rollout model. The Wednesday rollout will only be for original series. Original movies like Pixar’s “Luca” will continue to debut on Fridays.

Here is how the rest of Disney+’s summer schedule will rollout. The animated Marvel series,...

The 2018 sequel to the hit 2012 animated flick, it once again stars John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman as Ralph and Vanellope as they journey from their arcade machine into the World Wide Web. The second new film, meanwhile, is the latest D+ original. Safety is a moving sports drama about a young...

It’s finally the weekend, and with most places around the world still experiencing lockdowns to some degree, not to mention cold weather beginning to take over in a lot of countries now that it’s winter, many people will no doubt be looking to remain indoors and flip on some quality content. And lucky for them, the various streaming services continue to deliver.

Be it Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu or HBO Max, there’s a ton of great stuff to dig into and each of the major platforms is constantly updated, with this weekend bringing several exciting titles that might be worth your time. And down below, you can see the complete list of what’s set to arrive across today, Saturday and Sunday.

Forget about the 12 Days of Christmas – it’s the 12 Disney Plus Originals of Christmas this year. The Mouse House’s streaming service is releasing a bunch of new movies and TV series across the next few weeks, with the highlights being the original content that’s coming our way. Included in their number is a quartet of must-see pics, a short film, a couple of docuseries and a load of new episodes of hot D+ shows.

First up, after its debut on Premier Access, Mulan is finally being made available on Disney Plus for all subscribers at no extra cost. So, if you haven’t caught the all-action remake, now’s your chance. The same day also sees the debut of fantasy comedy movie Godmothered, starring Jillian Bell as a fairy godmother who answers a little girl’s wish for help, only for it to turn out that she’s...

The holiday season is here and Pixar has a little gift for Disney+ subscribers.

After the animation studio’s next major effort was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the powers that be finally made the decision to release it on Disney’s streaming service. And that’s why you will now be able to watch Soul via Disney+ on Christmas Day. Soul stars Jamie Foxx as Joe Gardner – an inspiring jazz musician who finally gets his chance when his soul enters the Great Beyond.

Soul isn’t the only gift on Disney+ in December 2020. The sure-to-be-thrilling finale of The Mandalorian season 2 will arrive on Dec. 18. After those two beg exciting tentpoles, it’s pretty much business as usual for Disney+ this month (not that that’s necessarily a bad thing). An original movie of note, Safety, premieres on Dec. 11 and should at least be of interest to Clemson football fans.

December is almost upon us, and Disney Plus has a great haul of movies/TV shows coming on Friday to kick off the month in style. In total, there are 11 titles hitting the Mouse House’s streaming service this week and while there’s no explicit Christmassy content to be found, the new arrivals do include a bunch of nostalgic favorites which make for perfect viewing this time of year.

First up, beloved 90s Fox animated effort Anastasia has always been mistaken for a Disney flick and now it officially is as it joins D+ on Friday. Legendary comedy film Big, which earned Tom Hanks his first Oscar nomination, likewise is on its way. Elsewhere, fans have been waiting to see 2005 superhero pic Sky High on Disney Plus ever since the platform launched and finally, the wait is over this week.

Check out the full list of everything arriving on...

As we head towards the weekend, let’s take a look at everything new that’s coming to the various major streaming services over the next few days. With the enormous hauls of December 1st just around the corner, there isn’t a ton to dig into, but there are almost 30 fresh titles arriving across Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Hulu and Prime Video, which should keep you going until Monday.

First up, Netflix dropped eight movies and TV shows today, mostly originals. In particular, a bunch of international content debuted, such as Spanish horror Don’t Listen and Italian crime drama The Beast. Not to mention German festive comedy Over Christmas, which arrives along with a selection of other holiday-themed titles, like children’s special A Go! Go! Cory Carson Christmas and cooking contest Sugar Rush Christmas.

Check out the full list of what’s hitting streaming from Friday, November 27th to Sunday,...

It’s the last Friday of November, and you know what that means? Yes, it’s time for the final haul of the month on Disney Plus.

Today, the streaming service is offering up 10 new titles for subscribers to feast on over the weekend, ranging from a couple of fresh movies, some great TV episodes and a batch of whole seasons of shows that should keep users occupied for a while. And obviously, there’s the latest outing of The Mandalorian as well.

First off, we have new National Geographic documentary Alaska: Port Protection, as well as New Zealand children’s series Party Animals. Another collection of top episodes is formed for your entertainment with November’s Simpsons Forever, while season 3 of animated series Marvel’s Spider-Man, which goes by the subtitle Maximum Venom, likewise lands. You can also catch the whole first – and only – season of Ouat spinoff Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.

Take a look at new footage from "The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse", an original series of animated shorts created by Disney Television Animation, showcasing 'Mickey Mouse', 'Minnie Mouse', 'Donald Duck', 'Daisy Duck', 'Goofy', 'Pluto' and a whole lot more, now streaming on Disney+:

"...'Mickey' and his best pals – 'Minnie', 'Donald', 'Daisy', 'Goofy' and 'Pluto' – embark on their greatest adventures yet, navigating the curve-balls of a wild and zany world where the magic of 'Disney' makes the impossible possible..."

Voice cast includes Chris Diamantopoulos, Kaitlyn Robrock, Tony Anselmo, Tress MacNeille, Bill Farmer, Jim Cummings and Corey Burton.

December 2020 marks 30 years since the release of Home Alone – three decades since Moira from Schitt’s Creek and the crooked cop from The Sopranos forget to take Roman from Succession’s brother to France, so he set fire to Tommy from Goodfellas. If that news has you spiralling into a pit of what-have-i-done-with-my-life despair, you’ll be in need of some distraction.

Here’s a bit of that, with a list of the new additions to Disney + UK this December. On Christmas Day, there’s Pixar’s Soul to look forward to, but before that is the free-to-subscribers debut of the live-action Mulan, plus the ongoing weekly episodes of The Mandalorian and Marvel’s Agents of Shield season seven.

We’ll keep this list updated as more announcements are confirmed.

Disney Plus is adding 10 new titles this coming Friday to end November with a bang. Before the Mouse House’s streaming service ushers in the holiday season in December, there are a few more exciting movies and TV shows on the way, including a new D+ original film, a batch of complete seasons to binge and, of course, the latest episode of The Mandalorian season 2.

To begin with, Friday sees the debut of Black Beauty, a modern day retelling of the classic novel by Anna Sewell. Kate Winslet voices the famous horse, with Mackenzie Foy (The Nutcracker and the Four Realms) as Jo, a spirited teenager who becomes Beauty’s best friend once she’s taken from her home and family in the American West.

The animal-themed adventures continue with Far From Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog, a little-remembered 20th Century Fox drama movie from 1995, while another film that...

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for Disney Plus to add a bunch of new titles to its library. Today sees seven movies and TV shows go up on the streaming service in the US, including five new episodes of original shows and a couple of freshly licensed movies. There’s much to enjoy, then, but the highlight of the haul probably has to be the premiere of a much-anticipated Marvel series.

Marvel 616 might not be a new entry in the McU, but it is a Marvel Studios production, acting as a neat introduction to the franchise’s upcoming exclusive D+ shows. The anthology documentary series is set to explore the historical, cultural and societal impacts of the Marvel Comics Universe and its intersection with the world. It kicks off its first episode of six today and should keep fans going through December, ahead of WandaVision dropping in January.

This coming week is a big one for Disney Plus, as the streamer is breaking convention and adding content on other days as well as Friday. The Mouse House’s platform typically only updates its library on the last day of the week, but the next seven days are an exception as new titles are also dropping on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Of course, we’re talking about the 17th’s Lego Star Wars Holiday Special and the 18th’s double bill series premiere of The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse. The reason why these titles aren’t landing on Friday along with the rest is because they have significant ties to those specific dates.

The Lego special is a tongue-in-cheek homage to 1978’s infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, which aired on CBS – for one time only – on November 17th. And as for the new Mickey Mouse animated series, the legendary...

Despite production disruptions from the 'Covid-19' virus unleashed on an unsuspecting world, the TV industry is determined to get back on track, scheduling November 2020 premiere dates for new series and new seasons of returning shows including "The Crown", "Moonbase 8", "Animaniacs" and a whole lot more:

Mickey Mouse is an icon, albeit one who has grown into more of a corporate mascot than an actual character. But in recent years, he’s enjoyed a resurgence thanks to Disney Television Animation’s aptly titled Mickey Mouse shorts. Combining a classic artistic aesthetic that calls back to the old animated shorts that played in theaters with modern […]

A chorus of Happy Birthday, please, for one Michael Theodore “Mickey” Mouse, who reaches the grand old age of 92 this month. As befits his advanced years, Mickey will likely be celebrating with a swig or two of Pepto Bismol and the Band of Brothers DVD boxset. Or, if he fancies, he could always fire up Disney + UK and catch some new episodes of The Mandalorian (starting Friday the 30th of October) The Simpsons, and Agents of Shield, all of which will be on the streaming service in November.

(Though now I think about it, Mickey Mouse lives in America, doesn’t he? So he’ll already have seen most of that. And Noelle, the new Anna Kendrick Christmas film that came out in the US last year. Some people have it all.)

Here’s what’s new on Disney Plus UK this November:

6 November

The Simpsons season 31

13 November

Marvel’s Agents of S.
