What Could Have Been: Treasure Planet 2
You might remember the Disney movie Treasure Planet, or you might not, because it's never really achieved the same level of fame as the rest of the Disney pantheon - but not because it was a bad movie. It was a hybrid 2D/CGI updated version of Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' - in space! With classic sailing-ship-looking crafts that sailed in an airy space atmosphere called the Etherium. It had a blend of Celtic-sounding music with some 90's grunge songs (by Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik) mirroring the steampunk-ish vibe of old-meets-"new," and brought in an element of parental abandonment and found family.

Luckily, I was able to get ahold of Kyle Walters, who is one of the creators of the series as well as the star, and he filled us in on a few things to expect from the new season, who he relates to most, and where this all began.

Donald Glover Is Spiderman...And So Is This Epic Miles Morales Cosplayer!
The internet is buzzing about the recent (and completely awesome) confirmation of Donald Glover as the voice of Spiderman incarnation Miles Morales on animated series Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors. It's about darn time, and while there's already been a bunch of great coverage about this on Moviepilot and tons of other places, I'm doing what I do best and focusing on the fans. Their reactions and initiatives are important and often brilliant - and that's what we get here in a gorgeous cosplay modeled by Nikolas A. Draper-Ivey.
