It says a lot about the human condition that we all love “Garfield.” Jim Davis’s nearly 50-year-old comic strip tells the ongoing story of Jon Arbuckle, a lovelorn sad-sack loser, and his snide, pompous, hedonistic cat Garfield. Neither of them are conventional heroes. They rarely even leave their house. Jon symbolizes the misery that stems from seeking external acceptance, while Garfield symbolizes the inner peace that stems from accepting yourself, vices and all. Or maybe it’s just about kicking helpless dogs and eating lasagna. Your mileage might vary.
The point is there’s something about “Garfield” that endures. So they keep cranking him out in every way imaginable and we keep buying it. That comic strip is somehow still running, even though the funny pages are harder and harder to find. The cat’s iconic face has been slapped on clothing, toys, video games, telephones, typing tutorials and...

There are plenty of anime about cute girls doing cute hobbies but guys can be cute and do cute things too. Anime about cute boys doing cute things is all about an easy-going, tranquil and stress-free atmosphere. Either it’s running a cute cafe and bantering with a barista, talking about shared interests, collecting cute characters, looking after little kids or being clumsy and awkward — it’s all cute and sweet. It’s like covering yourself in a blanket with a content smile. Play It Cool, Guys Of course, this article wouldn’t be about cute guys doing cute things if I hadn’t started with Play It Cool, Guys , which is the epitome of cuteness, slice-of-life and comedy. Originally a full-colored web manga by Kokone Nata that has been serialized since 2019 on Pixiv, Play It Cool, Guys depicts the clumsy days of four different guys in modern Japan. Embarrassment,...

Voice actor Shouta Aoi reported on his official Twitter on May 17 that he was tested positive for Covid-19. According to the tweet, he has had a severe sore throat since late Thursday night, and after going for tests on Friday morning, he was diagnosed positive for the Covid-19 virus. As a result, he has to cancel his appearances at the two events in this weekend — "Voice Comic Live - Margaret and Bessatsu Margaret 60th Anniversary Memorial Performance" in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, on May 18 and the "TV anime My New Boss Is Goofy Dotennen Party" event in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, on May 19.

Throughout his career, Nicolas Cage has embodied countless characters in movies of various genres, but this year, he returns to horror. The actor’s latest flick, Benjamin Brewer-directed Arcadian, received a relatively rare for the genre Certified Fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes, but that’s not the thing that makes it stand out the most.
The Disney-inspired monstrosities do, as bizarre as it sounds.
Arcadian’s Monsters Are Goofy’s Cousins
Let’s admit it, no one has ever expected to see horror monsters directly inspired by one of Disney’s most wholesome and, well, goofy characters — and yet, here we are. When speaking to IGN, director Benjamin Brewer revealed the source of his inspiration and explained how Goofy can be terrifying and what drove him to do it.
“I had this idea of big nocturnal eyes and massive spaced-out teeth. Teeth way too big for the creature’s mouth.

Whenever you visit the “happiest place on Earth” you usually plan out your entire trip from going on all of your favorite rides to picking out your favorite restaurant and even picking up a souvenir or two. But what you don’t expect to happen is getting seriously hurt, which unfortunately can happen.
A woman named Katrina Griffin, who was visiting Disney’s California Adventure in April of 2022 with her family, is suing the Walt Disney Company due to injuries sustained on her trip.
The lawsuit states that on April 3rd, 2022, Griffin bent over to tie her daughter’s shoes. When a cast member dressed as the popular Mickey Mouse character Goofy ran into her and they both fell onto the hard cement with him on top of her. She claims that she felt all of his body weight on her.
The suit was filed at the Orange County Superior Court in March.

Last year I wrote about how Buddy Daddies had the most relatable anime man of 2023. This was because Rei Suwa was a professional hitman who, when he wasn’t on a mission, kept himself entertained with video games and comfortable sweatpants. Having a clear line between “work” and “comfort” speaks to me, so it was only natural that I’d gravitate toward the perfectly cozy anime that is Mr. Villain’s Day Off . Related: Buddy Daddies Has Brought Us Anime's New Perfect Man As you can imagine from the title, Mr. Villain’s Day Off focuses on a villain who is set on world domination... but not when it’s his day off. Despite his devastating presence, when he’s not on the clock he wants to be left alone, even telling his heroic nemesis to hold off on any battles until he punches in again. As a wannabe champion of self-care,...

At their best, films aimed at young kids can be enjoyed by adults as well and truly earn the "family movie" title. 2023 brought plenty of titles that fit the bill, from box office hits like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Migration" to streaming treats like "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget" and "Leo."
Now it's 2024's turn to show us what it's got, and while the early months of the year tend to be pretty dry when it comes to family movies, as studios are holding them back for school vacations and long summer days, there are some fresh, funny, and heartwarming new releases on offer.

“I wanted to experiment: can I develop a family which was not unlike my own upbringing?” says Nicolas Cage, while talking to Den of Geek about his new movie Arcadian, which premiered at SXSW 2024. “My dad did most of the heavy lifting, he did the raising because my mom sadly couldn’t be around. So it was just my father, and in this case, myself and my older brother. I saw that family dynamic in the [Elia] Kazan picture, East of Eden.”
From that description, you might imagine Arcadian to be an austere drama, something that takes place in a rustic farm house and focuses on the complex relationship between a father struggling to do right by his two boys. And you’d mostly be right… mostly.
But then Cage completes his thought. “And then I thought, well, wouldn’t it be interesting if this little family nucleus was contending with...

Nibbler the Nibblonian first appeared on "Futurama" in the episode "Love's Labours Lost in Space", wherein Leela (Katey Sagal) assumed he was a poor, lost animal that merely needed a home. She put an adorable red cape on him and outfitted him with a diaper. Nibbler had a voracious appetite and could consume many, many, many times his own body weight in pork products in a single day. Nibbler would then poop out perfectly round spheres of solidified dark matter that, quite conveniently, could serve as starship fuel.
It was later revealed that Nibbler was, in fact, Lord Nibbler, an impossibly ancient being -- born around 274 Bce -- who could speak in a clear, deep voice. He belonged to a species that possessed fleets of tiny, adorable warships and who were occasionally kidnapped and farmed for their fuel-pooping abilities. For years, whenever someone saw Nibbler speak, he could activate his...

Despite Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto being classified as the five "main" characters in the Disney canon (aka "The Fab Five"), it's actually the barrel-chested Pete who arrived before them all in 1925. Originally, Pete was a bear but evolved into Mickey's archnemesis for a time before settling into his role as the loudmouth cat often playing opposite of Goofy as we know and love him today. This new affiliation began in 1992 with the animated series "Goof Troop," which followed Goofy as a single father after he and his son Max moved back to his hometown of Spoonerville. The family ends up moving next door to Pete, a used car salesman with the integrity of Harry Wormwood in "Matilda," his real-estate agent wife Peg, their son P.J., and daughter Pistol. Max and P.J. become fast friends, forcing the two families to connect, and inspiring plenty of hijinks because of it.

One Piece unquestionably has some of the most interesting plotlines and powers for its characters which makes it all the more unique and stand out in the league of similar mangas and animes. One of these powers includes the exceptionally powerful Conqueror’s Haki — something that not everyone possesses, but those who do become incredibly powerful through the same.
The Conqueror’s Haki in action in One Piece
While there are quite a few characters from the main league in One Piece who possess the Conqueror’s Haki, there are also quite a few from the same league who are yet to officially discover it. One of these is none other than the Straw Hat Pirates navigator, Nami, though even her Conqueror’s Haki just may have been teased previously in the manga!

Disney announced today that it was shuttering its Disney Movie Club, a Columbia House-like service that provided exclusive titles on Blu-ray and DVD and heavily discounted catalog titles.
“We’ve enjoyed serving you for the last 23 years, but consumer behavior and viewing preferences continue to evolve so we have made the tough decision to close Disney Movie Club,” the official statement read. While Disney gives the closing date of July 20, patrons’ last day to order anything is May 20.
Launched in 2001, the Disney Movie Club was, ostensibly, a subscription-style service for those who wanted the latest and greatest in Disney physical home video. Every month you’d get sent the latest home video release, usually festooned with extras like lithographs or collectible pins.
But the Disney Movie Club served an essential, often overlooked secondary function, which was that they released hard-to-get and often forgotten films on physical media exclusively through the site.

It is not an uncommon sight to see how Mangakas often take inspiration from other franchises while working on their own projects. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, is one such mangaka who has even gone to the lengths to reveal from where he took the reference for the latest Luffy’s power transformation.
Luffy Gear 5 was something that many had been waiting for years, and we finally got to see it in One Piece chapter 1044, followed by an animated adaptation last year. There are some obvious references in these particular chapters and episodes taken from one of the most iconic and legendary cartoon shows ever.

“Atlanta” is bowing out with a final season and hoping to earn one last Best Comedy Series nomination after a stellar run at the Emmys.
Donald Glover‘s hit FX show, which he created, co-writes, co-directs, and stars in follows the multi-hyphenate as Earn, who tries to help his cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) make a career as a rapper in Atlanta named Paper Boi. Across the show’s run, they and Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) come across various issues that touch on money, race, relationship, status, and parenthood.
The show has moments of real drama and has received acclaim for its distinct brand of eccentric humor, driven by Glover. With moments of bizarre surrealness, the show is idiosyncratic in its ideas and executions and is one of the most unique shows from one of the most impressive storytellers out there.
The show has always been well-received and its fourth and final season,...

When looked at from the outside, the premises of the first two "Bill & Ted" movies are baffling. In the first film, the title characters (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) are a pair of slacker California dudes who are more interested in their band than in studying high school history. Randomly, a visitor from the future (George Carlin) appears in a high-tech, time-traveling phone booth and announces to Bill and Ted that their band will not only become successful, but that their music will become so profound as to unite humanity and usher in a new utopia. In order to form their band, however, they will have to pass an upcoming history exam and stay in school. The Carlin character gives them the phone booth, and they travel through time, viewing history in person through their particular slacker lens. In the sequel, Bill and Ted die and traverse the afterlife...

Debating which Disney animated film reigns supreme as the greatest of all time is a fool's errand, but if I was given a vote, I'd throw some love toward "A Goofy Movie." While it's not about a singing princess making her dreams come true or "Hamlet" but with lions, "A Goofy Movie" is a silly, heartwarming road-trip movie about generational differences and coming-of-age in a single-parent household. As a youngster, I very much saw myself in Max Goof (Jason Marsden), a rebellious teen constantly embarrassed by his well-meaning father and hiding his adolescent insecurity by performing. I distinctly remember sharing the second-hand embarrassment during the pair's excursion to Lester's Possum Park, imagining how I too would cringe out of my skin if my parents were that excited about broken, animatronic nightmare possums.
As I grew older, my perspective shifted. Re-watching "A Goofy Movie" as an adult, I couldn't help myself from immediately siding with Goofy.

When it comes to iconic Disney animated characters, Goofy comes up a few notches below Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. Those two saw massive popularity early on in the company's lifespan, and even got to lead theatrical movies like 1944's "The Three Caballeros" with Donald, or Mickey starring in the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" episode of the 1940 film "Fantasia." Goofy's appeal was different, less wide-ranging, and more eccentric than a perpetually exasperated duck or a blandly kind mouse. You couldn't even tell what species he was, although his longtime voice actor Bill Farmer claims he is a dog.
Goofy eventually did get to lead a theatrical film, although several decades after his 1932 debut. The character was best known for Disney shorts those days, and for his cartoony antics in them. As you could guess from his name, he was careless and clumsy, and his oblivious goofball shtick would often result in wildly elaborate slapstick.

On October 27, 2022, Kevin Lima received quite a surprise.
"My social media all just blew up," he told me. "I was like, 'What the hell is this?'"
Lima is the director of 1995's "A Goofy Movie," and although his film has become widely beloved in the years since its initial release, he certainly didn't expect it to be the subject of a full episode of the final season of Donald Glover's FX series "Atlanta." The fourth season's eighth episode, entitled "The Goof Who Sat By The Door," is a hilarious (and highly fictionalized) accounting of the making of "A Goofy Movie."
The episode completely breaks from the format of what "Atlanta" had ever done before, adopting a documentary style to riff on concepts that appeared previously in movies like "Putney Swope" (in which a fictional Black man is unwittingly made the CEO of a major company) and novels like...

Walt Disney Animation has a long history of presenting stories about adventures. The House of Mouse has taken its audience on adventures into the woods, under the sea, almost there, just around the riverbend, and into the unknown. Thanks to Pete Docter and Bob Peterson's "Up," Disney fans have been saying, "Adventure is out there!" which has become an unofficial motto for most of Disney's most beloved tales. Now, "Strange World," which is currently in theaters, is continuing the adventure. Sharing the recognizable vibes of newsreels and pulp novels, it would make sense to pair the latest film from Walt Disney Animation with the acclaimed Pixar classic for a double feature. However, the Clade Family's journey to save Avalonia has more in common with a different revered Disney movie: "A Goofy Movie."

Fifteen years ago, Disney charmed viewers by sending up its own film catalog with Enchanted, and now its director is opening up about challenges in getting the movie made — and his surprise at not being asked to work on the new sequel, Disenchanted.
Enchanted’s origins date back to the late 1990s. The initial script, written by Bill Kelly (Blast From the Past), focused on Giselle, an animated woman who enjoys singing with animal friends (much like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty) but longs for a happily-ever-after. After Giselle and the prince of the magical kingdom fall in love, the evil queen banishes Giselle to a live-action New York City. Kelly tells The Hollywood Reporter of his initial inspiration: “How could you do a modern-day Sound of Music?”
Over the years, the script went through rewrites, and such directors as Rob Marshall, Jon Turteltaub...

Bespin, Outer Rim — Star Wars fans across the globe concurred on Wednesday that the 11th episode of Andor was the Disney+ series’ “best one yet, dude,” due to its inclusion of a way-cool space battle and rubbery aliens that spoke funny.
“Um, best Andor episode ever!” said Dale Wilhoit, president of the long-dormant Sweattoc (Star Wars Enthusiasts Against Taxation-Themed Opening Crawls), in a phone interview with TVLine. “After all these weeks of deftly exploring class solidarity, colonialism and the slow but steady rise of fascism, wow, did you see how the Fondor’s laser thing sliced that Tie fighter in half?...

Tim Allen‘s Kringle has lost a bit of his jingle in Disney+’s The Santa Clauses, a six-episode continuation of the beloved Santa Clause film franchise that sees Scott Calvin contemplating his third act.
It’s been 28 years since Scott first transformed into Santa, and the world now suffers from a lack of Christmas magic. This becomes apparent to Scott when he is reunited with Sara, the little girl who left the allegedly lactose intolerant Claus soy milk in the original 1994 movie. She’s all grown up now, played in Episode 1 by Happy Endings‘ Casey Wilson, and things haven...

About 15 years ago, director Kevin Lima ("A Goofy Movie") made something pretty special with "Enchanted." The 2007 live-action riff on Disney tropes is loaded with charm primarily thanks to Amy Adams as Giselle, the marriage-hopeful Princess who finds herself leaving her animated world of Andalasia for the real world after falling down a well. "Shrek" may have beaten them to the Disney-satire punch, but Adams' earnestness about the whole affair sells the princess parody nevertheless.
Lima isn't returning for the sequel, as "Hairspray" filmmaker Adam Shankman has taken over directing duties. Fortunately, Shankman has worked with Disney before with "The Pacifier" and "Bedtime Stories." Funny enough, he seems to be one of the few people in Hollywood who knows how to effectively utilize James Marsden's talent and charisma, so it's pretty great news that they'll be reunited here.

“Atlanta,” which will air its final episode Nov. 10 on FX, is going out as a deeply strong and well-made show. And if it no longer quite feels like the major one it did in its early going, that suits it well, too.
This observation deserves clarifying, because I don’t mean to slight the work of series lead and driving creative force Donald Glover, or collaborators including frequent director Hiro Murai. But in the time since “Atlanta” first aired in 2016 — and, crucially, the years of its extended hiatus, from when it left the air in 2018 to its return earlier this year — the ground shifted around it. In its first two seasons, “Atlanta” looked like nothing else on television. That’s less true now. And the show’s return, with two new seasons both airing in 2022, felt muted in part because of its outlandish creativity: Its pointillistic portrait of the world of Earn,...
