Soul
The newest film from Disney Pixar makes its much-anticipated debut. The film follows Joe, a middle-school band teacher whose life hasn’t quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is jazz, but when he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have a soul. The film stars Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey, Graham Norton, as well as others. Unlike Mulan, Soul will be available to anyone with a Disney+ account on December 25th, 2020.
Surprising Santa Claus
HGTV is surprising the town of Santa Claus, as well as two lucky families, with holiday cheer, home renovations, and a top-secret gift! Earlier this year, a casting company sought applications from Santa Claus residents hoping for holiday home renovations. There were nearly 100 submissions! After rigorous reviewing and interviews, the team narrowed in on four finalists by the fall. During a “normal” year, the production team would visit the area to scout locations and determine an action plan for filming. This year, as we all know, is a bit different. Logistics were worked out via Zoom with a few locals to address everything from crew lodging to helping source local hand sanitizer. The 90-minute holiday special will air at 9 pm ET on HGTV.
Wonder Woman 1984
The much awaited sequel to Wonder Woman debuts! The sequel follows Diana Prince as she lives quietly among mortals in the vibrant, sleek 1980s, an era of excess driven by the pursuit of having it all. Though she’s come into her full powers, she maintains a low profile by curating ancient artifacts and only performing heroic acts incognito. But soon, Diana will have to muster all of her strength, wisdom, and courage as she squares off against Maxwell Lord and the Cheetah, a villainess who possesses superhuman strength and agility. The film will be available in both theaters and on HBO Max on December 25th.
