The Hit 2009 Disney Christmas TV Special “Prep and Landing”, will be airing again this holiday season on ABC, along with a new 7-minute short “Operation: Secret Santa” starring Betty White as the voice of Mrs.Claus. But that’s not all, a sequel (“Prep and Landing: Naughty vs. Nice”) will air in 2011. I hope the network decides to run them back-to-back, instead of eliminating the original from their schedule.
And since these specials are so popular, could a “Prep and Landing” feature-length film be part of Disney’s plans for the future? There’s something to put on your Christmas wish list.
In movie news, “Iron Man 3” is set to kick-off the Summer 2013 season, with a just announced release date of May 3rd. And the soon to be released “Morning Glory” will be released even sooner than expected. The film has been moved up two days to Wednesday, November 10th. Interesting, move since the Wednesday opening isn’t connected to a holiday. I’ll be curious to see how it does at the box office those first two days.
The first “Cars 2” teaser trailer is finally out (seen below). Thankfully not a whole lot is given away. I’ve already begun counting down the days until the it’s out.
