Hi it's Roger here from what's on at Disney+.com it's time for a quick Disney+ news roundup. Let's start off with talking about a brand new series which is going to be coming to Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ on Tuesday the 23rd of July. This one is called Dress My Tour, it's definitely in the reality zone where you've got 10 contestants all trying to battle out to $100,000, they're trying to dress and tours as well as judges coming in. Nowhere yet if this one's going to be coming out on Disney+ internationally I would assume maybe at a later date sometimes with the stuff it's a little bit hit miss because not everything is made by Disney in terms of Hulu originals but the trailer definitely has all the things you'd expect from this kind of show, it's got all the drama, it's got all the bitchiness going on in there, you've got the de tears, the tantrums, everyone that you'd want from a sort of unscripted reality series so if you like these kind of things this one's definitely going to be for you so all 10 episodes will be dropping at the same time but let me know, are you looking forward to watching Dress My Tour? Let me tell you your thoughts on this in the comments below. Shifting gears, now let's talk about brand new Korean drama series which was announced last night by Disney so this one's going to be coming on the 8th of August with a new episode dropping each and every Thursday, this one is called Are You Short and it features two members of the popular Korean pop group BTS, Jimin and Jungkook, her name will be traveling through three different countries including the United States, South Korea and also Japan and they're going to be going to a number of different places, they're going to be going to ski resorts, they're going to summer beaches. So this was all filmed before they went off to do their military training and yeah this one they definitely kind of seems like back up quite a few things so that while they were away there's still stuff coming out, kind of keeping fans engaged but no this one's going to be a big hit when it drops on Disney+ they're looking forward to watching Are You Short? Love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments below. Shifting gears now let's talk about brand new film which has been revealed by American High which is going to be coming soon to Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the United States. I also suspect it will be coming to Disney+ around the world. This brand new film is called at Summer of 69, this brand new film is about an awkward high school senior who hires an exotic dancer that helps to use his a long time crush before graduation leading to unexpected friendship and lessons in self confidence, acceptance and adulthood. It's going to be directed by Gilliam Bell who has previously starred in Godmother and this is going to be the first film that she has directed. She went on with saying a statement to Deadline, it's always been my dream to direct and I'm thrilled to be telling a story about female friendship with a cast of the most talented and funny humans. Production is set to begin later this month in New York and no work yet on when this will be arriving I'm guessing maybe next summer and there will be a lot of big special effects and stuff. So, American High have made lots of movies already for Hulu, you've had things like The Binge, Sex Appeal and Manuel wants to fight so this is definitely in that kind of wheelhouse of kind of cheap teen movies and I think this is probably going to be a lot of fun when it comes out. It's always a little bit hit and miss but I also suspect like with those previous movies they'll also be on Disney+ around the world but you're looking forward to watching at somewhere of 69. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments below. Let's now talk about what's new on Disney+ today. The big new release is some new episodes of bluey mini episodes. These are like two to three minute episodes so if you're a big fan of bluey know that you're going to be wanting to check them out, there's going to be some more coming at a later date but that was really probably going to be very very very popular but let's now jump into Star Wars Yaklite, we've got a brand new episode last night and I'm just going to go into some spoilers on this and just give some of my thoughts on it. I thought it was an okay episode, there wasn't really a lot happening in it. It was a lot of kind of, we had all the action in the last episode with lots of fights and stuff and this really kind of hit the brakes, everything slowed down and this is all about really the twins kind of in different positions. One of them obviously May was trying to work out what he was so and trying to kill him but that didn't quite work out and obviously they worked out that she wasn't quite right. I love the little, was it Basil, the guy just running around, just he knew there was something wrong. So I like that whole aspect. You also had another one going on where he goes swimming and she doesn't quite kill him and she puts the mask on and we get all the breathing at the end. It was definitely a kind of pace slowed down, both of them just kind of feeling out what's going on, whether or not they turn them, I don't know, it was a bit of an episode of like, okay, it needed to happen. Obviously they needed to kind of stop and they switched places to doing the Freaky Friday thing. I'm sure lots of people are not probably going to like this one because I said it was very slow paced and more story telling but it didn't really move things along and there was also kind of leaning in on the fact that Seoul couldn't actually tell them that they were safe or anything like that, which obviously ties into the idea that we know that that's not going to get out before the end of the series because obviously we find out in Phantom Menace that they've never, they've not seen from the safe in millennia. So we know that something like that's going to happen but it's interesting to see where let's go. We've only got two more episodes left. Are they going to leave it with a cliff hangout to go straight into season two or are they going to wrap it up? I don't know. It feels again like we know we're at a point where it's two episodes to go and it hasn't really kind of, I don't know, where are they going, where are they going, where's the story going, I don't know. But it was okay. I'm going to give it about three out of five. Well, definitely on the best episode, it obviously developed the characters that we need to see where this goes in the future but after last week's incredible episode and even the last two episodes I think have been really good, this one was a little bit of a drop off but I'd love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments below. And our question of the day which comes from Philster who says, I don't suppose you've heard anything about what happened to this and this is in reference to the Aladdin life and the West End. I'm on part broken. They seem to have completely forgotten about it. So I've been asked about this quite a lot really because it was quite a while ago that news came out that Disney had filmed the Aladdin show on the West End in London and that it was going to become a Disney+. It popped up on some devices that it was coming soon, never arrived, never came. And yeah, it's just been, it's all of years, they've also filmed Frozen and we haven't got that one. Now obviously at the time when all this was coming around, Disney was trying to get people to go back to the theatre. I know in London, the West End is kind of recovered but I know in, I think in Broadway people aren't going back the same way. Now I was lucky enough to see Aladdin on the West End years ago and really enjoyed it. I thought it was fantastic, loved it, the genie in it, it was a great show. So I'd love to see it on stage. I think this thing is like we're doing these kind of things, we'll kind of hit on them doing these shows, when they do the tour, when they're on cruise ships, when they're at the parks, etc. Kind of lean, that live experience is very different. I would like them to put them on, they definitely seem to be protective of this stuff, which I think is a shame, especially for shows that aren't available now on the West End or in Broadway or anything like that. But yeah, it's a shame that this one kind of came out and I mean officially Disney never said anything and this is always that kind of weird thing but the fact that it did pop up on our device saying that it was coming soon, did seem a little bit weird but hopefully we get it pretty soon. It would have been nice to see it but I just don't know, it seems like they've pulled back and they're just trying to protect their theatre business in just making sure that people can't see this kind of stuff but I'd like to see it, like I said I'd like to see it again because I have seen it live in person and it is fantastic and it would be great for more people to watch it. I kind of understand like not putting out like the Lion King and some of the big ones that are just constant but at the same time, you know, some of these ones have been around for a long time, they're based on a movie that we've already seen, etc. I don't know, I mean kind of you'd think they would kind of get around to it but nevertheless, they would have, would you like to see that Aladdin live show from the West End, love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments below if you've got a great question, drop it in below and if it's cool, I'll pick it out for tomorrow and on that note guys, thank you very much.
