When it comes to producing live-action films of beloved animations, it seems that Disney is on a roll!
AMC Theater for ‘The Little Mermaid’
A live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid arrived in theaters on May 26th, and Disney has also told us that live-action versions of Lilo and Stitch and Moana are in the works. As far as Moana goes, many Disney fans were a bit confused as to why a relatively new animation was already becoming a live-action film. It didn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the films receiving live-action adaptations, as most are at least 20 years old at this point. However, that doesn’t seem to stop anyone’s excitement! We just learned a NEW detail about the upcoming film, and we have a feeling it’s only going to add to said excitement.
In case you needed another reason to love Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, we have one that includes both guacamole and tequila.

In 2020, the hospitality industry took a major hit as restaurant visitors dwindled due to the global pandemic. Local businesses and restaurant owners struggled to make ends meet in order to operate, and several unfortunately ended up closing. That’s when The Rock, together with his tequila brand Teremana, decided to come up with a way to support local restaurants while also celebrating Cinco de Mayo and his birthday.
We’ve seen current Disney CEO Bob Iger comment on a number of things — from Park Passes and Florida legal battles to gun control and rumors of a merger with Apple. But now someone else is doing the commenting — and it’s about Iger!

Disney is caught in the middle of a corporate debacle at the moment as Nelson Peltz and the Trian Group are preparing to stage a proxy battle following Peltz’s repeated requests to be added to Disney’s Board of Directors and Disney’s refusal to nominate him. Trian Partners, the activist firm, has about 9.4 million shares of Disney and Disney has urged shareholders to vote AGAINST adding Peltz to the Board. But just what does one celebrity think about all of this and about Iger as CEO? We’ve got the answer!
