Disney knocks it out of the park again and again with their animated and live-action movies. Each one is usually box office gold and fans can’t get enough of them. Disney is basically printing money at this point and I’m buying what they’re selling. Hocus Pocus 2 is a no-brainer for Disney and fans of the original film will be thrilled about the sequel. The Little Mermaid is going to be a smash hit just like all the other live-action adaptations of Disney animated classics. Disenchanted looks as charming as the first. All and all Disney is the king of family entertainment and they will be for the foreseeable future. They have the properties everyone loves and they continually produce quality films. The future looks great for fans of all the Disney properties and hopefully, the films live up to all the hype. You can catch The Little Mermaid on May 26th, 2023, Hocus Pocus 2 on September 30, 2022, and Disenchanted on November 24, 2022.
