Although the film was originally supposed to head to theaters on August 14th, director Thea Sharrock has stated that “The world has changed in a heartbeat. People all over the globe have shared important, life changing experiences in ways we have not seen for a century. In response to this, I am so happy that we can share Katherine Applegate’s delightful and original story, The One and Only Ivan with the world this August on Disney+, bringing some joy through this unique movie of true friendship, inspired by a true story.”

The movie will follow an unlikely friendship between 400-pound silverback gorilla Ivan and a baby elephant named Ruby. As Ivan finds out that Ruby was separated from her family to be brought to their communal habitat in the shopping mall, he starts to wonder what the meaning of life is and how he fits into this world.

The movie adapted from Katherine Applegate’s Newbery Medal Award-winning book will feature the voices of Angeline Jolie, Danny DeVito, and Bryan Cranston when the film arrives on Disney+ soon. Although movie theaters are looking to reopen their doors to guests sometime soon, we’re still VERY excited to watch The One and Only Ivan at home when it arrives!

Lionel Richie and Disney Collaborating on an ‘All Night Long’ Musical

Lionel Richie and Disney Collaborating on an ‘All Night Long’ Musical. Award winning performer and American Idol judge Lionel Richie is teaming up with Disney to create a musical using his most iconic music from his impressive career.

The working title for the project is called All Night Long after Richie’s most notable song from 1983 that plays on radio and streaming stations around the world to this day. Pete Chiarelli (Crazy Rich Asians) is reportedly penning the script for All Night Long.

Current plans aim for a theatrical release of the musical and the studio has claimed it will not be a biopic, but a musical incorporating Lionel Richie’s music to a new story. A full list of songs for the musical has not been released and it is unknown if the song will be rerecorded for the film and performed by the actors within the production or if Lionel Richie will contribute to the piece with potential new recordings.

Are you excited to see a new musical in development? What famed song from Lionel Richie do you hope to see incorporated into the project? We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions in the comments. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Disney!

The ‘Dinosaurs’ TV Show is Coming to Disney+ This Fall

The ‘Dinosaurs’ TV Show is Coming to Disney+ This Fall. During the airing of Ryan Reynolds new ABC TV Show, Don’t, the famed actor and businessman shared that the early 90’s hit show from ABC, Dinosaurs, is on the way to Disney+ sometime this fall! Reynolds did not give any specific dates, but it comes as no surprise that Disney is looking to add nostalgic titles to the streaming service and allow subscribers to enjoy their favorite shows while growing up or raising their families.

Not familiar with the series? Check out this synopsis of the show: “Dinosaurs live like humans in this 1990s sitcom set in 60,000,003 B.C. in Pangaea. Blue-collar dinosaur Earl Sinclair tries to cope with short-tempered boss Bradley P. Richfield of the Wesayso Corporation so he can put food on the table for his large family: sweet-natured and long-suffering wife Fran, rebellious teenage son Robbie, shop-til-she-drops daughter Charlene and precocious Baby, not to mention his crusty mother-in-law, Ethyl. On his rare night out, Earl pals around with his buddy Roy Hess. The show touched on a number of topical issues, including environmentalists, endangered species, LGBT rights, censorship and corporate crime.”

Along with Disney theme parks around the world, the Disney Cruise Line has closed for the time being to guests as a health and safety precaution.

Disney Cruise Line

While the Disney Magic won’t be sailing until October at the earliest and different cruises have been canceled through July (along with Adventures by Disney), the cruise ships are actually expected to resume sailing pretty soon.

If you’d like to take a little getaway on the Disney Cruise Line, you can receive up to 25% off a cruise booked on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy this August and September!

Castaway Cay

On August 14th, the Disney Dream will be setting sail on a 3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral for travelers to enjoy the island life and visit Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay. The 3-night cruise costs $831 per person with taxes, fees, and port expenses of $76 per person. The price is based on double occupancy in a stateroom (and so are the rest of the cruises mentioned below).

News: Disney Is Suing Orange County in Florida Over Property Tax Appraisal

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 12, 2020

Walt Disney World takes up thousands upon thousands of acres in Florida.

Cinderella Castle

And it should come as no surprise that Disney has to pay a LOT of taxes on said acreage.

But, according to The Orlando Sentinel, the amount of money Disney should pay in property tax, is well, to be debated.

Spaceship Earth

Disney is suing Property Appraiser Rick Singh over its property taxes, saying that its 2019 property tax appraisals were too high. The company has filed a dozen lawsuits in the Orange Circuit Court.

Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom

According to Singh spokeswoman Beth Watson, “[Walt Disney World] had been undervalued for decades by previous property appraisers.” Meanwhile, Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said, “As we have shared before and as a matter of public record, we have challenged the property appraiser’s assessments and we will continue to dispute the errors by the property appraiser as any property owner in Orange County would do.”

Cinderella Castle Makeover Was Stopped Due to the Halt in Construction

According to Disney’s lawsuit, Singh listed the value for EPCOT at $539 million, Magic Kingdom at $504, Animal Kingdom at $435 million, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at $394 million. Disney didn’t say what it thought its resort’s value was, but called Singh’s numbers “excessive.”

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Lawsuits between Disney and the Orange County Property Appraiser’s Office are a regular occurrence. According to the Sentinel, this has been happening every single spring since 2016, and Disney has “dozens of court cases” pending.
