Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window is a visually beautiful and powerful depiction of war that shifts the perspective completely. Through the eyes of a child, audiences can experience what war time was like for young kids and how schools adjusted to the chaotic and brutal period. To celebrate its release at Scotland Loves Anime’s inaugural London event, and the fact it won the Jury Award, we had the absolute pleasure of talking to director Shinnosuke Yakuwa (Doraemon) about his experience bringing the celebrated memoir by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi to the big screen. A huge thanks to the wonderful folks…

Chaos is approaching, and it’s approaching quick. To celebrate the upcoming release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which sees the live-action debut of Shadow, Paramount Pictures released a brand new trailer and we’re genuinely surprised by how different this trailer frames the film. The previous trailer teased an alliance between Eggman and Sonic, whereas this trailer goes full throttle for a Shadow and Eggman and Eggman Senior team up. So, with that in mind… Does Shadow go rogue causing Eggman to temporarily change sides? Or is there something we’re missing… Something darker. That’s enough theorising for now… Wasn’t that an…
Chaos is coming. We can’t think of a better way to celebrate this festive season than with a trip to the cinema to see our favourite blue hedgehog. With Sonic the Hedgehog 3 speeding onto our screens for a third time in just over a month, Paramount Pictures have decided to release tickets for the highly anticipated sequel early. Tickets will officially go live on November 29th. In addition to that, Paramount also released a brand new poster featuring all of our beloved heroes and villains.

From three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise. After months of waiting for an official look. Universal Pictures finally released a trailer for the live-action adaptation, as well as a poster featuring both Hiccup and Toothless. Accompanied by John Powell’s iconic score, the new trailer takes on a journey through familiar scenes that gripped us back in 2010. To put it simply… It looks visually outstanding. It has been reported that there…
Finally. The first season of Andor premiered two years ago and with the promise of a second season, we were all left wondering… When will season two arrive? Well, we finally have our answer. Season two of Andor, which follows Cassian as he navigates life under the rule of the Empire, will arrive on Disney+ on April 22nd, 2025. The upcoming season will consist of 12 episodes. These 12 episodes will then be split into three-episode chapters, with each chapter focusing on a different year of Cassian’s life before the events of Rogue One. With that, it’s very likely that…
Disney unleashed a brand new trailer for their upcoming series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, which looks to be a combination of Star Wars and The Goonies; a potent mix if you ask us. The new trailer dives more into the main characters of the show and how they all end up together as well as the various locations, some of which are completely new. They’ve got quite the adventure laid out in front of them, and the good news is that we don’t have long to wait before we hop aboard and make that iconic jump to hyperspace. Star Wars:…
Hot Toys are gearing up for something truly chaotic. To celebrate the release of Arcane season two, Hot Toys have teased a 1/6th collectible figure of Piltover’s favourite devastator. The image shared is rather limiting, but we already know that the figure itself is going to look outstanding. They’ve gone for a plastic sculpt for the hair which is a fantastic idea mainly because it looks better and it don’t wear overtime. Considering the visual style of Arcane, plastic hair just makes sense since you can get those harsher edges just right. We obviously don’t have a good look right…
