Too cute: Penneys and Disney are releasing a Dumbo collection

Mar 6, 2019

It is impossible for us to walk into Penneys without buying something, whether that’s a pair of pyjamas, a giant pack of tealights or a t-shirt that we don’t really need, but it’s on sale for €2 and you can never say no to such a bargain, right?

We have been crazy about Penneys' Disney collections and their latest range is by far the cutest.

Penneys have teamed up with Disney to bring you a brand-new range of classic Dumbo products.

Landing in stores from March 11, this range is compiled of 62 products perfect for little ones and adults alike.

With everything from the cutest kidswear, adorable accessories and kitsch kitchenware, this collection will delight all Disney fans.

With prices ranging from €3.50 to €22 head down to Penneys to get your hands on this must-have collection.

There’s no doubt we’ll be sprinting to our nearest store to stock up on the Dumbo range.

Disney debuts live-action Lion King footage with the mane man himself

Feb 25, 2019

Disney's live-action reboot of The Lion King may well break box office records, judging by the insane level of excitement built up around it.

The flick nailed an all-star cast featuring the original Mufasa himself (James Earl Jones), Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, Donald Glover (AKA Childish Gambino), Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Oliver, John Kani, Eric Andre, Keegan Michael-Key and…

Who are we forgetting?

Oh yes… BEYONCÉ KNOWLES-CARTER as Nala. We're slain.

Naturally, there's an ecstatic amount of nostalgia, especially from us 90s kids out there. Thankfully, during last night's Oscars ceremony, Disney released an extended The Lion King trailer and we died.

How can we possibly wait until July 2019 to see Jon Favreau's epic Pride Lands tale, based on Shakespeare's Hamlet?

More live-action reboots are on the way, following the success of The Jungle Book, which boasts the same director as The Lion King. Dumbo, directed by Tim Burton will arrive in theatres this March, followed by Guy Ritchie's Aladdin in May.

Just like The Jungle Book, Favreau's Lion King uses CGI to bring an entirely animal cast to life in an incredibly realistic-looking format.

Donald Glover, This Is America musical legend, stars as Simba, the orphaned lion cub who returns to Pride Rock to take his place as king.

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter plays Simba's love interest, Nala, while Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the villainous scar. Seth Rogen and Billy Eicher were cast as Pumbaa and Timon, Simba's beloved comic relief companions

We honestly won't be able to see this in cinema, we'd have to be restrained due to the sheer excitement of it all. Cannot cope.

One of our fave Disney tales will be made into a live-action movie

It feels like every Disney movie is getting the live-action treatment, and we must admit, we’re pretty happy about it.

We are mega Disney fans so seeing our favourite tales being remade into live-action movies is pretty exciting.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, one of our favourite Disney movies will be transformed into a live-action movie.

Rumour has it, we’ll soon be reunited with our favourite Disney duo as Lilo and Stitch is set to be remade into a live-action movie.

We’ll be returning to Hawaii in the live-action/CG hybrid and we’re intrigued to see how the team will transform the beloved animated tale.

Disney has lined up quite the impressive creative team for the Lilo and Stitch remake with Mike Van Waes working on the script and Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich producing the beloved tale.

The producers are already working on the Aladdin remake so it’s safe to say the live-action Lilo and Stitch won’t disappoint Disney fans.

Lilo and Stitch may not have been a massive box office success, especially when you compare it to films like Frozen and Moana, but it is one of our favourites.

Lilo’s sassy attitude, her deep love for Elvis’ music and her kind-heart make her one of the greatest Disney characters.

There’s no scene we relate to more than the one where Lilo lies down on the ground, listens to her Elvis record and yells, “Leave me alone to die.”

We can’t wait to be reunited with the Elvis-loving, Hawaiin-dancing heroine.

So, DUMBO is getting a live-action remake, and we are really excited

Oh we are SO excited about this news!

Our favourite little elephant is set to hit the big screen once again, in a live action remake of Disney's Dumbo.

Tim Burton, the genius behind The Nightmare Before Christmas, is planning to produce this reboot, and is already approaching some of Hollywood's biggest actors.

This week it was confirmed that Will Smith is in talks with the producers of the film, to play the father of children who form a bond with Dumbo.

Tom Hanks is also being considered for the role of the movie's villain, which would certainly be a change from his typical roles.

We certainly cannot wait to see this elephant fly!

After the success of Maleficent, Disney have decided to tell Dumbo’s tale once again, only this time with a blend of computer graphics and real-world settings.

Ehren Kruger, who wrote Transformers: Age of Extinction, is set to write the script.

We can’t get enough of these Disney remakes – Cinderella is out next March and The Jungle Book is in pre-production. Bring on Dumbo!
