Disney is missing a huge opportunity to make 'The Mandalorian' a major event by releasing it when many people are asleep
There's no reason "The Mandalorian" should be released in the middle of the night (at least in the US). Disney should make it more accessible.When so many shows and films have been delayed or affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the return of Disney's hit "Star Wars" series following Mando's adventure to reunite the memeable 50-year-old creature with his kind feels like one of the few bright spots of 2020.

"Dance what you feel" and "Dance the s--- out of it!" are sentiments that all dancers (and dance movie fans) know well. But it's time to take an unflinching look at the real-life drama and struggles behind the glossy veneer of films like Center Stage in the new Disney+ docuseries On Pointe — and EW has your exclusive first look at the trailer.

© Provided by Entertainment Weekly The first trailer for Disney+ ballet docuseries 'On Pointe' is like a real-life 'Center Stage.' Launching Dec. 18, the six-part series follows young ballet dancers vying to become prima ballerinas (for the girls) and premier danseurs (for the boys). Think Cheer, but instead of cheerleading, it centers on ballet — a.k.a. the "unforgiving art form" — and the dancers who "can't live without it."

From extravagant birthday parties to cheating scandals and cheesy paparazzi posing, see the stars who committed some serious faux pas this year. "On Point," a 10-part docuseries about AAU basketball featuring appearances by NBA stars, will premiere on Crackle Plus in February. Like Crackle Plus, which runs streaming platforms including Crackle and Popcornflix, Screen Media is a unit of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.
Disney+ is the ultimate streaming destination for entertainment from Disney , Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. Stream now on disney+ stream disney+ originals now on disney+ . Their story continues.
The show will feature unprecedented access to New York's prestigious School of American Ballet, upon which Center Stage's fictional American Ballet Academy was based. Chronicling the lives of world-class students age 8 to 18 pursuing their dreams of becoming professional ballet dancers in an uber-competitive environment, the series reveals what it's really like to make it as a professional dancer, including all the highs of success and the very low lows. While older students rigorously train for professional careers, younger students are put through their paces as they rehearse and perform in New York City Ballet's holiday classic George Balanchine's The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center.
On Pointe is produced by Imagine Documentaries and DCTV, with Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes, and Matthew O'Neill serving as executive producers, and Larissa Bills directing and producing.

Disney Investor Day Review: It’s All About Streaming, ‘Star Wars’ & Marvel, Stupid; Bob Chapek Shows Steady Hand In CEO Role .
It might not entirely be Bob Chapek’s Disney yet, but Thursday’s virtual Disney Investor Day event made it clear that Baby Yoda is boss. Pulling out every trick, IP and franchise in the book, the nearly four-hour extravaganza emphasized that Disney is almost all about streaming less than a year after Disney+ launched with The Mandalorian as its marquee offering. Rocketing to more than 86 million subscribers, as was unveiled today by CEO Chapek, the service itself will be full of much more Star Wars, much more Marvel and more movies as the coronavirus pandemic looks to shutter cinemas deep into 2021.
