Jungle Cruise is a wild ride you won’t want to miss. Join Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt for the adventure of a lifetime on Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” a rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton.

Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance.

Disney & Pixar’s “Luca”

Disney & Pixar’s Luca

Disney and Pixar’s “Luca” will debut exclusively on Disney+ on June 18, 2021. This is an adorable family movie for summer

Disney and Pixar have done it again and created some pure magic! Set in a beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera, Disney and Pixar’s original feature film “Luca” is a coming- of-age story about one young boy experiencing an unforgettable summer filled with gelato, pasta and endless scooter rides. Luca (voice of Jacob Tremblay) shares these adventures with his newfound best friend, Alberto (voice of Jack Dylan Grazer), but all the fun is threatened by a deeply-held secret: they are sea monsters from another world just below the water’s surface.

Directed by Academy Award® nominee Enrico Casarosa (“La Luna”) and produced by Andrea Warren (“Lava,” “Cars 3”).

Disney and Pixar’s “Luca” will debut exclusively on Disney+ on June 18, 2021. This is an adorable family movie for summer the whole family will love. It will also leave you itching to travel with all the beautiful scenery.

There are some great messages in Luca as well; such as conquering and getting over your fears. As Alberto likes to say, “Silenzio Bruno!” Remember to silence your inner critic that’s always telling you, you can’t do that, so you can achieve your goals! Any fin is possible. Overcoming obstacles and following your dreams are two other themes we find often in Luca. While most of us don’t have scales, we all have things in our life that seem a hindrance and weigh us down to prevent us from being able to do something we really want to. Luca can inspire all of us to follow our dreams deep inside of us.
