On June 20, 2025, Elio is coming to theaters! Disney/Pixar is releasing a brand new cosmic misadventure staring Elio, a stary-eyed kid absolutely obsessed with aliens. With the desire to be abducted by aliens, Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination, gets beamed up to the Communiverse. What is the Communiverse? It is an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide! With aliens thinking Elio is the leader of Earth, this cosmic misadventure sees Elio all in for the epic undertaking as he forms new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be.
“Elio” features the voices of Yonas Kibreab as Elio, Zoe Saldaña as Aunt Olga, Remy Edgerly as Glordon, Brad Garrett as Lord Grigon, Jameela Jamil as Ambassador Questa and Shirley Henderson as OOOOO. The film is directed by Madeline Sharafian (“Burrow” Sparkshort), Domee Shi (“Bao” short, “Turning Red”) and Adrian Molina (co-screenwriter/co-director of “Coco”), and produced by Mary Alice Drumm (associate producer of “Coco”).

Discovery Channel has finally dropped Jaw-some news! The 37th year of Shark Week starts July 20, 2025! That means our summer nights will be filled with shark facts, shark tricks, shark science, and maybe even a few shark absurdities…especially if the SYFY channel gets involved. I do believe we all remember the epic tales of Sharknado.
However, the absurdities are not fully in the SYFY Channel’s corner. Shark Week is also known to bring in a few characters who think jumping over sharks or swimming in a feeding frenzy are good ideas. This year, Discovery Channel is trying something completely unprecedented; they are hosting their first ever ‘Dancing With Sharks’ Shark Week Special. If you pictured a person in a dress holding onto a shark dancing the Waltz, you may not be far off.
According to Discovery Channel, five expert divers will “blend skill, grace, and the daring pursuit of the ultimate underwater thrill” in a choreographed competition. The underwater dance will include crazy dance moves that were invented for these performances including the Hammerhead Hoedown and Tiger Trot.
It would actually be funny to see Dickie Chivell dancing with a great white. In fact…Discovery Channel, let’s make this happen!
Hosted by Emmy® Award-winning television personality Tom Bergeron, Dancing With Sharks will redefine dancing with danger as each contestant looks to impress the judges with their take on thunniform swimming.
Discovery Channel will release a full programming schedule for “Shark Week” in the coming weeks. So keep an eye out for the soon -to-be epic list of Shark Week fun!
On May 25, at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, fans and judges gathered to hear which Anime series would take the Best Anime of the Year award. Some of the most notable Anime series that could take number one were Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Kaiju No. 8, Dan Da Dan, Delicious in Dungeon, The Apothecary Diaries, and Solo Leveling. After the judges made their decision and all the votes were tallied, I am happy to say, Solo Leveling took the win!
Solo Leveling follows Sung Jinwoo, an E-rank hunter, that keeps getting injured and/or almost killed at every dungeon battle. He continues fighting because he wants to make sure that his sister can go to school and that his mom’s hospital bills are paid for. However, when Sung Jinwoo faces a double dungeon, everything changes. After almost losing his life, Sung Jinwoo reawakens with the rare OP ability to level up his rank. He takes this ability and begins his quest of increasing his powers so that he can find the ultimate elixir to save his mom.
Combining family love, powerful fights, fantastic voice overs, and one of the best scores I have ever heard in an Anime, Solo Leveling caught the attention of Anime fans all over the world earning its ‘Anime of the Year’ title.
Of course, Solo Leveling took more than just Anime of the year. Its other wins, which can be found on the official Crunchyroll site, include:
Best New Anime Series
Best Action Anime
Best Main Character – Sung Jinwoo
Best Anime Score
Best Anime Ending Sequence – request by krage
Best Anime Voice Artist Performance – Brazilian Portuguese – Charles Emmanuel as Sung Jinwoo
Best Anime Voice Artist Performance – Castilian Spanish – Masumi Mutsuda as Sung Jinwoo

Please note: these printables were found when Disney had active printable sites such as Spoonful and Disney Family. I have collected them over the years and figured it was a great time to share them. I do not speak for the company nor are they paying me to post these. These are just a fun collection coming from the SKGaleana Vault of printables.
We are going back to the days of old for this May the Fourth Be With You! Back when games were hard copies, the red circle of death was a fear that rested in the back of the mind, nawing its way to the surface with each and every start, and back when printables and fun activites papered websites to encourage the fanbase to showcase their fandoms. I am talking about 2012, when the end of the world was neigh and Star Wars The Force Awakens begin filming. Hard to believe that was 13 years ago! o.O
In 2012 Star Wars began it’s reawakening releasing fun games such as Kinect Star Wars (affiliate link), where fans could wield the power of the force without a controller. It was a fun time for both movie fans and gamers.
“Kinect Star Wars” brings Star Wars to life like never before. Harnessing the controller-free power of Kinect for Xbox 360, “Kinect Star Wars” allows fans to physically hone their Jedi skills, wield the power of the Force in their hands, pilot iconic starships and vehicles, rampage as a vicious rancor monster or even dance with iconic Star Wars characters. Using full body motions, players can live out the ultimate Star Wars fantasy to use the Force, battle with a lightsaber and more — no controller required. (StarWars.com)
With their Kinect Star Wars video game release, Microsoft Studios also shared several printable paper crafts that fans could print and create! Featuring Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, and more, the collection was (and is) a fun group of galactic creations! The Darth Vader printable is especially fun because he has a removeable helmet!
To celebrate the coming Star Wars Day, May the Fourth Be With You, we are pulling these Kinect Star Wars printables from the SKGaleana Vault and sharing them with all the fellow fans! To grab each printable simply click the images below and save the PDF to your computer. Then print and create! The best part is, each printable comes with instructions!
Mother’s Day is just around the corner! Time to celebrate moms in a big way with gifts, chocolates, food, and more. I know my mom loves it when we do all the chores in the house. It isn’t every day moms get to relax, so I encourage families to truly make this day special.
Like many moms, I consider my mom to be a superhero. She has always been there for me, has helped me fight some major battles, comforts me when needed, and so much more! While these attributes make her heroic, they are not the only reason I think she is a superhero, or at the very least, has super powers.
Picture this. Mesquite Texas, 2009. My mom and I sit in an old apartment complex at a square card table. Her back is to the glass sliding backdoor. I sit across from her, staring outside across several apartment complex rooftops. A solitary white sneaker decorates the balcony. The shoe has been there since we moved in, a lasting reminder of the residences before. I didn’t have it in my heart to remove such a masterpiece, so it continues to weather each crazy storm.
Tonight is no different. The rain cascades from the clouds, blowing left and right in the gale-force winds. Lightning traces the sky, popping from one cloud to another in an endless electric dance. The delayed reverberating booms shake the glass. It’s a classic Texan night.
My mom looks up at me, waiting for me to move my backgammon piece. She smiles. I know I have already lost. No one can beat her. This is one of her super powers. I take my first piece and move it five places. She chuckles. Oh the pain of losing before I have lost. I take my second piece and make a wall to help block her entrance into her home base. It’s my last dying hope to defeat her by making it impossible for her to move. Lightning streaks across the sky. I count the seconds before the sound hits the apartment while she rolls her set of dice.
BOOM! 10 seconds. The storm is two miles away. My mom checks the window and looks back at me. I motion for her to continue her advance. She grabs her first piece and easily jumps my makeshift wall. The start of my inevitable loss. She reaches for her second piece, a grin stretches across her face, Just before she grabs that second piece, the lights flash, lightning strikes the building next door, a huge explosive boom from the lightning shakes every surface in the apartment, and then all goes silent.
I check on my mom, only to find that she is no longer in her seat. I call out to her but I get no answer. I turn in my chair to check the rest of the house, thinking, ‘did I just miss the rapture?’. Nope, I find her. In fact, she is all the way across the room, holding onto the closet doorknob, rocking back and forth while laughing maniacally. If she had been in a white cushioned room, this would have seemed normal. Instead, I simply stare at her as I realize she has a new super power…She can teleport from one place to another in an instant. My guess is her power is charged by the electricity in the air. Maybe I am the one in need of that cushioned room.
I am not sure if every mom has these specific super powers, but I do believe that almost every mom is a superhero. The printable party kit below will help celebrate all the super moms out there. Simply download, print, and create to make the perfect Mother’s Day event!
To get the printables click the images below and save the PDFs to your computer. Then print on cardstock, cutout, create, and decorate. The banners make great accents to a room, the candy boxes can hold small chocolates, the cupcake toppers and wrappers will make perfect cupcake decorations, and the tiara will make a fabulous crown for the one you are honoring.
