Leave it to Disney to make fun of their own releases. This seems to be the theme for all the teasers and posters we’re getting for the upcoming live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch.” This morning, it was a good-natured joke at the expense of “Mufasa: The Lion King.” Dean Fleischer Camp (“Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”) directs. Newcomer Maia Kealoha will bring Lilo to life in the film. Sydney Elizebeth Agudong, Billy Magnussen, Tia Carrere, Hannah Waddingham, Chris Sanders, Courtney B. Vance, and Zach Galifianakis also star. “Lilo & Stitch” is set to hit theaters May 23rd, 2025.

When cabler HBO first purchased the rights to iconic children’s programming staple “Sesame Street,” there was understandable concern. A show that had ALWAYS been free via local public broadcasting stations (PBS) suddenly paywalled? Think of the generations of kids who had the show to thank for teaching them things- counting, concepts like sharing, and imaginative songs and sequences.

Discovery (WBD) owned streaming service MAX will continue to license library episodes through 2027, but are shifting back to more “adult” themed programming. “It has been a…
