Muppets Now to Premiere July 31st on Disney+

Muppets Now Disney+

This morning, as part of Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+’s celebration of National #StreamingDay, Disney+ announced the new original series “Muppets Now” will premiere July 31 on the service. Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the gang joined in the fun sharing their own unique spin on the series.

Muppets Now

“Muppets Now” is The Muppets Studio’s first original series for Disney+. In the six-episode season, Scooter rushes to make his delivery deadlines and upload the brand-new Muppet series for streaming. They are due now, and he’ll need to navigate whatever obstacles, distractions, and complications the rest of the Muppet gang throws at him.

Overflowing with spontaneous lunacy, surprising guest stars and more frogs, pigs, bears (and whatevers) than legally allowed, the Muppets cut loose in “Muppets Now” with the kind of startling silliness and heartfelt fun that first made them famous.

Here are some fun tweets from the Muppets reacting to today’s announcement.

Wait, I thought we were going with this #MuppetsNow key art! Didn’t we all agree it needs more chickens?? And more exploding socks… and, of course, lava spiders. pic.twitter.com/8egBdUNd8K

Who chose these distinctly un-groovy options for #MuppetsNow key art? Let’s go with something way more far out… and with way more Animal! pic.twitter.com/d57NES7vbV

Dr. Bunsen Honeydew here. My research shows that using this #MuppetsNow art would yield impressive results. After all, it was created by Muppet Labs, where the future of key art is being made today! pic.twitter.com/uYuOatQ9zB

Dios mio, you gotta be kidding me! No Pepé in any of this #MuppetsNow key art?? Unbelievable, okay! Lucky for you, I’ve mastered Photoshop after watching one video on YouTubes. See for yourself… pic.twitter.com/WM9sSn4RFz

Puh-lease! We all know why people will watch #MuppetsNow, so why hide it? Ta-da! Some perfectly chic, simply stunning, positively MOI key art! pic.twitter.com/R49u1q2Fco

Good grief. Sorry about this, @DisneyPlus. Don’t worry, we love the #MuppetsNow key art! Though, if you’re looking for my suggestion, I was always partial to this one… I cleaned my banjo right before the photo was taken. pic.twitter.com/xZBlqDb777

Disney calls on Congress to provide $1 trillion in coronavirus relief to local governments

Congress

Business leaders and corporate executives in the state of California are urging members of Congress to approve a budget increase for state and local governments affected by COVID-19.

The business leaders are members of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s business recovery task force. Their objective is to help repair the economy by recovering jobs and business activity. The business recovery task force is specifically asking Congress to provide $1 trillion in pandemic relief for all U.S. states.

Disney Executive Chairman Bob Iger is one member of the California business recovery task force. He is joined by nearly 100 other corporate leaders from companies such as Netflix, Salesforce, Facebook, and etc. Bob Iger is helping the task force since the Walt Disney Company represents a sizable part of the California economy. Stewardship is a big responsibility for business leaders because they must look out for the best interests of their employees and environment. Bob Iger and these other task force members are collaborating on how to best serve the interests of everyone during this national pandemic. The letter the task force sent to Congress includes the following excerpt:

“Reopening our economies is a welcome step forward, but the success of our efforts ultimately relies on building greater confidence among consumers that it is safe to shop and greater certainty for workers that the services they rely on to do their jobs will remain in place. Without that, we will be a re-opened economy in name only.”

They stress the importance of pandemic relief by stating how it will protect core government services and help people financially recover from the effects of COVID-19. Ensuring safety and helping people return to work are priorities mentioned in the letter to Congress.

Monsters University Harveys

Harveys is at it again with another fabulous new Disney collaboration! This time a new Monsters University Harveys Collection is coming to shopDisney! If you missed out on the previous Monsters inspired Harveys collection, you won’t want to miss this one!

Monsters University Harveys

Monsters University Harveys

Harvey’s has been releasing sneak peeks of the new collection, which will launch on shopDisney on May 22 at 7:00 AM PST! The collection will feature Mike and Sulley in their college days at Monsters University. That means we’ll see them in their MU, and OK Frat outfits, as well as their MU friends and foes.


The showcased crossbody will even come with an MU pennant coin purse! It’s reversible too, one side is an MU pennant, while the other side is an “OK” pennant! I truly love the details that Harveys puts into their collections. Harveys collections do tend to sell out quite quickly, so make sure you aren’t late if you want to snag some of these monstrous pieces.

Monsters INC, and University have always held a special place in my heart, so I can’t wait to see this entire collection! Will you be adding a new Monsters University Harveys bag to your collection?
