The 2019 animated film The Addams Family, featuring Carolyn Hennesy as the voice of Grandma Frump, will be available to stream on Netflix starting February 20th. The movie was a financial success, earning $203 million worldwide on a budget of $24 million.
People generally enjoy seeing things updated, which explains why remakes and revivals often face criticism when their visual style changes. This is especially true with animation, which has dramatically changed over the past century, moving from traditional hand-drawn techniques to the incredible computer-generated imagery we see today. During a conversation on The Town podcast with Matt Belloni, Disney’s Bush acknowledged that animation at Disney might change again soon.
According to FlixPatrol, viewers streamed the first three seasons of Snowpiercer for a total of 44.2 million hours in 2025. The show, which was originally based on the movie starring Chris Evans, first aired on TNT. The fourth and final season moved to AMC. Even a year after the series finale on September 22, 2024, Snowpiercer continued to attract a large audience on streaming platforms.
Marvel Studios has already done a lot of exciting crossovers, but there’s still plenty of potential for more. For example, Marvel published a comic series called Aliens vs. Avengers in 2024. Now that both franchises are owned by Disney, it would be great to see this epic storyline adapted into a show on Disney+.
Some fans briefly believed in a conspiracy theory called #ConformityGate, hoping the show would get a completely revised finale to address its problems with plot and characters. While that didn’t happen, many fans still wished for a better ending.
Pixar’s Soul was originally planned for a 2020 theatrical release, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays. Though it eventually premiered in theaters worldwide in 2024, the long wait meant many people missed seeing it on the big screen.
From its disturbing beginning to a finale that feels like a scene from Travis Bickle’s imagination, Taxi Driver is a starkly realistic film, presented through the eyes of a lonely outcast with inflated ideas about his own importance. It deliberately blurs the line between dreams and reality, exploring the very space that movies are uniquely suited to create.
Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby adapted James S.A. Corey’s (Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) popular novels and short stories into the series The Expanse. The show depicts a future where humans have colonized the solar system, but are still plagued by political intrigue, betrayal, and criminal activity. Frequently compared to Game of Thrones in space, The Expanse benefited from the creators’ strong science fiction background, having previously collaborated on successful projects like Children of Men, Iron Man, and the entertaining space western, Cowboys & Aliens.
The show 24 was well-known for its surprising character deaths and plot twists. Kiefer Sutherland’s character, Jack Bauer, seemed to be the only one consistently safe. It’s been over ten years since Sutherland last played Bauer, but there’s currently discussion about him reprising the role in a possible 24 movie.
The enduring popularity of certain stories is clear when even shows based on spin-offs get made, like George and Mandy’s First Marriage and Andor. The growth of streaming services has only increased this trend, leading to tons of spin-offs for big franchises like The Walking Dead, Yellowstone, and Star Trek, and many more. Even with so many spin-offs already available, there’s still space for another one.
