Monsters University Harveys Collection Coming To shopDisney

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?

The Origins of Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber Have Been Revealed

The Origins of Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber Have Been Revealed. Many Star Wars fans have been curious about the creation of Rey’s new lightsaber since its reveal in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but do you know the origins of Kylo Ren’s unique lightsaber?

In Star Wars: The Last Jedi it is revealed that Ben Solo (Kylo Ren, before turning to the Dark Side) had a blue lightsaber while training under Luke. In a canon Marvel comic series called The Rise of Kylo Ren, it is revealed that after Ben attacks Luke and leaves the training compound, as he turns to the Dark Side he decides to make the cyber crystal in his lightsaber “bleed” and in doing so cracks the crystal, causing the saber to become unstable and short out. Ben then decides to add the exhaust ports that make the cross guard and then “Kylo Ren“and his iconic lightsaber were born.

The comic is worth the read for fans and gives better understanding and details that were too tedious to be incorporated into the films. The comic was written by Charles Soule with artwork by Will Sliney. Check out a synopsis for the comic below:

“Young Ben Solo is legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker’s most promising pupil. As the son of Rebel Alliance heroes Leia Organa and Han Solo, as well as Luke’s own nephew, Ben has the potential to be a great force for light in the galaxy. But the Skywalker legacy casts a long shadow, the currents of the dark side run deep, and Darth Vader’s blood runs in Ben’s veins. Voices call from both his past and his future, telling him who he must be. He will shatter, he will be reforged, his destiny will be revealed. Snoke awaits. The Knights of Ren await. Ben Solo’s path to his true self begins here.”

‘Avatar 2’ Poster, Plot Details, and Movie Title Potentially Leaked Online

‘Avatar 2’ Poster, Plot Details, and Movie Title Potentially Leaked Online. Though production is currently at a stand-still, the production team for the Avatar sequels have still been showing photos from the set that give us a little insight into the direction of the films, but some have fans even more curious about what paths the story may take.

Director James Cameron has shared that the stories will not be directly tied to one another, so you won’t have to watch the films in order to understand what is going on in the story, but he did share that a potential title for the film is Avatar: The Way of Water, some time ago. Well, it appears that either a very dedicated fan created a convincing movie poster for the sequel or somehow the actual movie poster was leaked online, giving us the films title. Check out the poster below:

Recently, the official Avatar page on Twitter shared some photos taken on set before production was frozen of director James Cameron giving direction to actors filming a mysterious underwater sequence for the films. “From the set of the sequels: [James Cameron] directing the actors before they dive underwater for performance capture. Fun fact: That layer of white on the water’s surface is comprised of floating balls that prevent lights from interfering with filming underwater.”

It is unknown which of the four sequels will feature the footage taken from this film set, as all four movies are being filmed and produced simultaneously, but the studio did share a little tidbit of information regarding how filmmakers keep too much light from ruining any shots. A good portion of the film tank is filled with pingpong balls to help with the lighting effect underwater! Pretty cool, right?!

It was also revealed that Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Vin Diesel, and Edie Falco have been added to the cast of the sequels, with Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang reprising their roles. Weaver and Lang will be reprising their roles for flashback sequences since their characters died in the first film.

Not much is known about the new characters, but we do know that Kate Winslet will be playing a Na’vi who lives underwater. We also know the sequels will follow the children of Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) as they explore other aspects of Pandora.

We love learning new and creative techniques in filmmaking and can not wait to see the Avatar sequels in theaters! Currently, the films are slated to release in December 2021, 2023, 2025, 2027, and production delays are not expected to change these release dates. Be sure to follow Chip and Co. for updates and all things Disney!
