New Hulu Update Will Closely Resemble Disney+ and ESPN+ Format

New Hulu Update Will Closely Resemble Disney+ and ESPN+ Format. Hulu is gearing up for a massive update that will closely model the interface format used on Disney+ and ESPN+. This comes as no surprise since the Disney owned streaming services are currently available to be bundled for $12.99/month and will allow subscribers to stream seamlessly between the three streaming services.

In a press release shared by Hulu, current and future subscribers were informed on what the updates will entail.

“With our growing audience, we’re constantly thinking about creating the best possible experience for our viewers, by getting them to the content they want to watch quickly while also helping them discover their next favorite movie or series to binge. We listened to feedback from our viewers and heard they loved how easy it was to continue watching the shows and movies they love, but not as easy to discover new content.That’s why today, we’re announcing some changes to our experience which will be available to some viewers on Roku and tvOS devices beginning today and roll out more broadly over the next few months.”

“Viewers can now navigate through collections vertically and explore within a collection by moving horizontally. This navigation pattern is something our viewers are accustomed to and matches the navigation pattern across Disney+ and ESPN+, making it easier for viewers who subscribe to the Disney bundle to switch between services and navigate with ease. When testing, viewers found it easy and intuitive to adjust to this updated navigation pattern.

We’re also simplifying navigation. Categories of content like TV, Movies, and Sports will be moved to the master navigation, which gives our viewers a clear pathway to find what they’re looking for. In the mood for a dramatic movie? This new navigation provides an easy way to navigate our vast library of content with fewer clicks than before.”

‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ May Resume Filming Very Soon

‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘ May Resume Filming Very Soon. Marvel Fans have been waiting to hear news about the future of the MCU and when filming will resume for several big name projects currently on hiatus after the shutdown of studios due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Well Marvel fanatics, looks like filming will resume very soon!

One of the rumored cast members for the Shang-Chi film potentially leaked the restart of filming in Australia with a photo on Instagram and the caption, “Guess who’s back. Quarantine look after 10 weeks of isolating myself. Hope y’all are safe, time to get back to normal.”

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Shang-Chi. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Producer Roy Lee shared there is relief at Marvel Studios regarding production concerns after it was learned a vaccine for COVID-19 would not be required in order for filming to resume.

“Initially, when the shutdowns began, I feared that we would have to wait for a vaccine to be developed before any production would be back up and running. But now I’m optimistic that there will be a plan in place to allow for smaller-scale productions to start before a vaccine is developed,” Lee speculated. “I believe that it will be one of the first studio productions that will start once we figure out the proper protocols that will ensure that the cast and crew are as safe, if not more, during production than they would have been pre-pandemic.”

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is expected to hit theaters on May 7, 2021.

Lately, a lot of Disney fans have had a bit of extra time on their hands and Disney Mom Candace, decided she would tackle a DIY project that had been on her mind. Candace decided to paint their family playhouse to look like Carl and Ellie’s house from Disney-Pixar’s Up.

“We bought the playhouse last year and I kept thinking about painting it like this. Finally I had the time to motivation to make it happen!” shared Candace in a post to their family Instagram account: @epicfamilyquests. “This was probably one of my favorite photoshoots to do, because of all the work put into it.”

Check out the posts shared by @epicfamilyquests of their adventures with their new “Up” playhouse:

Do you have a favorite character from Up?? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Mine is tied between Kevin and Doug ? I wish they had talking collars in real life! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ This was probably one of my favorite photoshoots to do, because of all the work put into it. We bought the playhouse last year and I kept thinking about painting it like this. Finally I had the time to motivation to make it happen! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I bought Behr paint from Home Depot and started in. Took about 3 days (thanks to rain) and it was finally complete! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ My husband bought balloons from Party City and we had to be pretty quick. Unfortunately 3 of the 15 balloons popped before we could even dress the kids! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I also have a video of the kids playing and acting out scenes from the movie. Can’t wait to share!! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I plan to make a blog post if anyone else wants to copy our playhouse idea, but even painting it different colors makes it so fun. Glad it’s finally complete and now the kids can enjoy it even more. ??⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #pixarup #uppixar #pixar #adventureisoutthere #disneycosplay #disneybound #disneybounding #wildernessexplorer #uphouse #disneypic #disneyphotos #disneymagicmoments #disneystrong #disneyfamily #disneyphotography #disneymagic #disneylifestyle #ohmydisney #abc7eyewitness #ilovedisney #disneyside #disneylove #disneyaddicts #カールじいさんの空飛ぶ家 #ディズニーに行きたい #ディズニーリゾート #ディズニーコーデ #ディズニー好き #ピクサープレイタイム #ディズニーバウンド @pixar @disneyfamily ⠀

Tom Hanks Presents Special Pandemic Diploma for 2020 Graduates

Tom Hanks Presents Special Pandemic Diploma for 2020 Graduates. First and foremost: Congratulations to ALL the 2020 Graduates! Wether you are graduating from College, High School, and even to the 8th Grade, Elementary, Kindergarten, or Preschool graduates, the entire team at Chip & Co. is very proud of your dedication to education. We know you may feel robbed on the symbolism of going through a tradition graduation, but YOU DID IT! And THAT is worthy of celebration, even if we have to do it at a safe distance.

It seems Disney Legend Tom Hanks (Toy Story), who himself beat COVID-19 this year, wants to help you celebrate this major accomplishment too. Hanks shared a tweet with a photo of a special Diploma he had created for 2020 Graduates that worked hard and managed to finish their education despite the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Tom shared, ” To all the Grads of 2020, you Chosen Ones! Print this up on sheepskin! Hanx”

Clearly he is not serious about the sheepskin part, but the intention is clear. 2020 Grads deserve to celebrate this major accomplishment and be commended on their efforts to pursue their degrees despite the craziness going on in the world.

To the Class of 2020, hang this Honorary Diploma up with pride and we would love, Love, LOVE, to see your photos and hear your stories about how you celebrated your well deserved graduation in the comments! Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney and congratulations Class of 2020! You DID it!

Live-Action ‘Mulan’ Disney+ Release Date Potentially Revealed

Live-Action ‘Mulan’ Disney+ Release Date Potentially Revealed. A dedicated Disney fan on Twitter had been requesting information regarding the Disney+ release of Disney’s live-action Mulan and shared the response from the Disney+ Help Center. Unexpectedly, a representative at the help center may have let loose the premiere date of Mulan on the new streaming service. Oopsie!

The tweet read: “Hi Caroline, it’ll be approximately available to subscribers on October 27, 2020. Let us know anything you’d like to see added in the future here https://t.co/Lg7hfi84VG. Thank you for your time.”- Disney+ Help (@DisneyPlusHelp) May 22, 2020

The tweet has since been removed from the site, likely either due to inaccuracy or the unintended slip causing the House of Mouse to request its removal, but that hasn’t stopped the news from spreading far and wide. (Insert: “Now all of China knows you’re here.” Joke Here)

This comes as a bit of a surprise, and likely is outdated/incorrect information, given that Mulan is only set to premiere in theaters beginning July 24, 2020, and eagle eyed individuals noticed the leaked date matches the standard “6-months post theatrical release” Disney+ streaming date from the original release date, March 27, 2020.

Likely, this was an oversight by the Disney+ Help Center and Mulan will be added to Disney+ around the end of the year or in January 2021. Regardless, we are very excited for the release of Mulan and can’t wait to see this retelling of the classic story featuring the Hero of China.
