Bachelor Nation fans were over the moon when they realized two figures from the franchise would compete on DWTS Season 33. The Bachelorette star Jenn Tran and The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei felt excited to show off their dance skills. Halfway through the competition, both Jenn and Joey have plenty of supporters voting for them.

Although Jenn was a contestant on Joey’s season of The Bachelor, he ultimately sent her home before the hometowns. But there doesn’t seem to be any bad blood between the two.

In fact, the pair had a great connection on the dance floor when they performed together on Disney Night.

Jenn Tran & Joey Graziadei Dominate The Team Routine

During the team routine portion, Jenn Tran and Joey Graziadei found themselves on the same team. Along with Ilona Maher, Chandler Kinney, and everyone’s pro dancers, they performed a crowd-pleasing dance to “I 2 I” from A Goofy Movie.

A “Deadpool & Wolverine”-inspired dance routine that copied the key fight scene from the hit superhero movie stole the show on Tuesday night’s “Dancing With the Stars,” all set to Nsync’s “Bye Bye Bye.”

NFL star Danny Amendola and par Witney Carson performed the energetic Jazz routine dressed, as, respectively the red-suited Deadpool and yellow-clad Wolverine. Judge Derek Hough called it “martial arts with the stars” and predicted the number would be a viral hit. The action-packed routine earned three 9s for a score of 27.

The remaining eight couples paid tribute to iconic Disney characters, including Ariel, Hercules, Tarzan and Cruella de Vil. Week 6 also brought the first group dances of the season, set to songs from “The Goofy Movie” and “The Lion King.”

The top eight couples on DWTS Season 33 just put on an amazing Disney-themed show for viewers.

From Encanto to Deadpool & Wolverine, the top eight couples tackled exciting routines to fan-favorite Disney movies. After individual dances and team routines, seven couples remain.

Who took home the highest scores of the night and advanced to Halloween Night?

DWTS Viewers Felt The Magic In The Ballroom

Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber performed the Rumba to “Kiss The Girl” from The Little Mermaid, earning a 24/30 from judges. Carrie Ann Inaba thought it was their best performance so far. The crowd cheered for the dancers throughout the routine, loving the adorable chemistry between the two.

Derek Hough even joked that he “shipped” Sasha and Jenn together.

I know I say this every week about Dancing with the Stars, but this week’s theme is definitely a favorite! I mean, how can you not absolutely love Disney Night? I always look forward to it. And this season’s Disney Night did not disappoint! Well…there’s the eliminated team, but other than that!

Spoiler alert! If you have not watched tonight’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, go stream it on Disney+ before you read on.

Dancing with the Stars week 5 is Disney Night so all teams performed a song from an iconic Disney movie. And no, we’re not talking Snow White and Cinderalla, but more modern, Disney flicks such as Deadpool and Wolverine and the beloved Wreck-It Ralph.

In tonight’s episode, the teams also joined up and were split into two groups: Chandler and Brandon and Ilona and Alan and Jenn and Sasha...

Two celebrities have the best shot at winning a mirrorball trophy in Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars. The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and Zombies star Chandler Kinney have been battling for the top spot on DWTS‘ leaderboard since the season’s start. Here’s why they could dominate the ballroom during Disney Night as the series hits its midway mark.

Joey Graziadei and Chandler Kinney could dominate Disney Night for one key reason

Both Joey Graziadei and Chandler Kinney have strong ties with the Disney company. Disney is the parent company of ABC, and both starred in popular shows on the networks.

However, close ties to a network do not a mirrorball champion make. So while Joey and Chandler may be familiar faces to viewers, it’s their ballroom skills and viewer votes that have kept them in the competition.

In weeks 1. 2, and 3, Joey and his pro partner Jenna Johnson...

“Dancing with the Stars” is back tonight with one of its fan-favorite theme nights: “Disney Night,” in which the stars and their professional partners will perform routines celebrating different Disney properties. And because Disney owns so much intellectual property, those movies being celebrated range all the way from “The Little Mermaid” to “Deadpool and Wolverine.” Here are the individual dances that will be performed by the eight remaining couples.

There’s a new baby to celebrate in the Dancing With The Stars family. Professional dancer Alan Bersten just announced on Instagram that he’s become a daddy.

Of course, this is an incredibly exciting chapter of life for Alan and he couldn’t wait to share photos with his social media followers. Read on to get the scoop and see what others had to say.

Alan Bersten Welcomes His Own Bundle Of Joy

A few years ago, baby fever ran rampant through the Dancing With The Stars cast. Dancers including Daniella Karagach, Jenna Johnson, and Witney Carson were all pregnant at the same time, including some dancers that aren’t on the show any longer.

Now, it seems like Alan Bersten is among them — even if his “baby” isn’t actually human.

“I’m officially a daddy!!” the 30-year-old shared on Instagram today. “Everyone please say hi to Jeff!

Theme nights on Dancing With The Stars change from year to year, but Disney Night is a staple. Each and every year, fans look forward to the excellent Disney-inspired routines.

This year, Disney Night takes place on Tuesday, October 22 and the set list for the evening is out. Read on and see what the top eight couples will bring to the table.

The DWTS Season 33 Competitors Ride The High Of Dedication Week

Exclusive: Mel Brooks and a storied group of animation creatives are combining on a short about the creator’s experience overcoming depression, with sales launching at MIPCOM.

Brooks and Spencer Grammer (Rick and Morty) will lead the voice cast of Enormous, which is inspired by Stephen Kramer Glickman’s personal journey battling depression with the help of his dog’s love. Airing next summer, the film follows Stephen, a man devastated after a breakup with his girlfriend, as he sinks into depression with only his pug, Jelly Donut, to keep him company in his empty house. In a story twist, Jelly Donut finds an unexpected way to help him rediscover joy and begin to care for himself again.

Brooks’ upcoming projects include fantasy animation The Land of Sometimes opposite Ewan McGregor and Helena Bonham Carter, while Judd Apatow is making a documentary series about the 98-year-old for HBO.

Prince William and Kate Middleton want to give their kids the most normal lives possible, but they also need to ensure their children get a combination of top-tier education and top-tier security while in school.

The Prince and Princess of Wales typically make a public appearance every year as they bring their kids back to school, but little is known about exactly what Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis’ school experiences are really like. However, we do know that William and Kate shell out six figures each year to give their kids an education.

William and Kate began enrolling their children at Lambrook School shortly after they moved out of London in favor of a quieter life in Windsor.

It’s no secret that the royal family has plenty of money. With a cumulative net worth around $88 billion, they certainly aren’t strapped for cash. And when it comes to appearances, the royals are keen to spend just about any amount it takes to ensure they remain in top shape at all times, including massive wardrobe budgets, plenty on hair and makeup for events — and even daily skin routines that cost a fortune.

Apparently, Kate Middleton is no exception when it comes to big spending. The Princess of Wales reportedly uses a face moisturizer that contains real gold and costs a whopping $850.

The royal family’s daily routines aren’t widely publicized, but we can’t say we’re surprised that Kate allegedly spends $850 on a daily face cream. According to Express,...

Disney's "A Whole New Sound" has been delivering banger after banger leading up to its release and this week fans got to hear We The Kings' reimagining of "Go the Distance" from the animated classic Hercules.

Another rock band from the early 2000s, We The Kings rose to prominence in 2007 with the self-titled album containing the platinum single "Check Yes Juliet." And now they are taking a swing at one of Disney's most inspirational songs.

As one of my favorite songs from Disney's music catalog, I was excited to hear We The Kings take on this classic. And they certainly nailed it. There's something about the way that Travis Clark delivers the lyrics that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

We The Kings cover of "Go The Distance" is the fourth song to be released from Disney's "A Whole New Sound," a collection of iconic Disney songs reimagined...

My favorite classic Disney character, Donald Duck, is celebrating his 90th birthday by joining Sean Evans for a special episode of First We Feast‘s Hot Ones, the online interview show with hot questions and even hotter wings. If you’re concerned about cannibalism, fear not! Sean and the fine folks at First We Feast serve cauliflower wings instead of cooked chicken for this unique interview, which features a fully animated Donald Duck taking on the Wings of Death!

Sean serves Donald’s wings with Disney-themed sauces to make the interview more special, including spicy flavors inspired by Alice in Wonderland‘s Queen of Hearts, Sleeping Beauty‘s Maleficent, Hades from Hercules, and Powerline from A Goofy Movie. Donald confirms that his long-time partner in animated crime, Daisy Duck, put him up to the challenge. As Donald’s Odd Couple pal Mickey Mouse watches from the sidelines, a prideful Donald starts scarfing wings with ease,...

“Hot Ones” is getting animated with a special guest: iconic Disney character Donald Duck. As he takes on wings and special Disney-themed sauces, the character also faces questions about his history, “DuckTales, “Darkwing Duck” and more.

“To close things out with your beak on fire and duck-sized brain slow-roasting in hot sauce, I want to hit you with some rapid-fire questions about some of your animated cohorts,” “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans says to Donald Duck right after he scarfs down a cauliflower wing, which was dipped in the ultimate hot sauce of his run, “Straight Out of Hades.”

“Are you and Darkwing Duck related?” Evans said, shooting off his inquiries.

“On ‘DuckTales,’ your Uncle Scrooge gets a lot of the limelight. Do you all resent his wealth and power?” Evans continued. But, overcome by the power of the sauce, the normally loquacious (if hard to understand) Donald finds himself unable to answer.

Pop punk and rock covers of popular Disney songs are not necessarily new, but Disney shocked everyone when it announced its own full-fledged pop punk album re-imagining some of its classic hit songs. So far, Disney has teased three singles from the album: Simple Plan's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" (from The Lion King), Magnolia Park's "I2" (from A Goof Movie) and, most recently, New Found Glory's "Part of Your World (from The Little Mermaid).

All three tracks have been absolute bangers and I think sound better than anyone could've even imagined. While I was previously familiar with the talent of Simple Plan and New Found Glory, Magnolia Park was new to me and I was pleasantly surprised with their music chops re-imagining what is one of my favorite Disney songs.

On the heels of dropping New Found Glory's cover of "Part of Your World," Disney has officially revealed...

When Disney announced plans to release a pop punk album of its greatest hits, you had to imagine New Found Glory would make the cut. The "godfathers of pop punk," New Found Glory are pioneers in the genre and have been delivering hits for decades.

Sure enough, just a few days ago, the band started dropping hints that they were to be featured on the upcoming album, "A Whole New Sound." The band posted on social media a teaser for their upcoming reimagined track followed by its full release online. I present to you, New Found Glory's version of "Part of Your World," from the Disney animated classic The Little Mermaid.

New Found Glory are no strangers to covers. The band has been performing their rendition of popular movie songs for decades, since 2000's cover album From the Screen to Your Stereo.

Funny enough, this isn't New Found Glory's first time reimagining a Disney song.

If we listen to each other’s heart, we’ll find we love A Goofy Movie as cinematic art!

Okay, that isn’t how the lyrics to the now famous “I 2 I” song first heard in 1995’s A Goofy Movie go but they reflect how the world at large views the film these days. Thanks to a generation of kids watching the movie over and over on VHS, endless cosplays of rock star Powerline, and the irresistible god-tier quality of Tevin Campbell’s musical contributions, A Goofy Movie is more beloved today than it’s ever been.

But with so many repeated viewings little questions start to appear in the mind of fans. Why didn’t the movie, a sort of sequel to the Goof Troop TV series, include the other members of antagonist Pete’s family, Peg and Pistol? How in the hell did Goofy and Max get to...

It says a lot about the human condition that we all love “Garfield.” Jim Davis’s nearly 50-year-old comic strip tells the ongoing story of Jon Arbuckle, a lovelorn sad-sack loser, and his snide, pompous, hedonistic cat Garfield. Neither of them are conventional heroes. They rarely even leave their house. Jon symbolizes the misery that stems from seeking external acceptance, while Garfield symbolizes the inner peace that stems from accepting yourself, vices and all. Or maybe it’s just about kicking helpless dogs and eating lasagna. Your mileage might vary.

The point is there’s something about “Garfield” that endures. So they keep cranking him out in every way imaginable and we keep buying it. That comic strip is somehow still running, even though the funny pages are harder and harder to find. The cat’s iconic face has been slapped on clothing, toys, video games, telephones, typing tutorials and...

There are plenty of anime about cute girls doing cute hobbies but guys can be cute and do cute things too. Anime about cute boys doing cute things is all about an easy-going, tranquil and stress-free atmosphere. Either it’s running a cute cafe and bantering with a barista, talking about shared interests, collecting cute characters, looking after little kids or being clumsy and awkward — it’s all cute and sweet. It’s like covering yourself in a blanket with a content smile.

Voice actor Shouta Aoi reported on his official Twitter on May 17 that he was tested positive for Covid-19. According to the tweet, he has had a severe sore throat since late Thursday night, and after going for tests on Friday morning, he was diagnosed positive for the Covid-19 virus. As a result, he has to cancel his appearances at the two events in this weekend — "Voice Comic Live - Margaret and Bessatsu Margaret 60th Anniversary Memorial Performance" in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, on May 18 and the "TV anime My New Boss Is Goofy Dotennen Party" event in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, on May 19. He continues to have a sore throat and is resting, but seems to be able to at least type text to Twitetr. He wrote, "I am sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to all those who looked forward to the events and even purchased tickets, as well as to the cast members and everyone involved,...

Throughout his career, Nicolas Cage has embodied countless characters in movies of various genres, but this year, he returns to horror. The actor’s latest flick, Benjamin Brewer-directed Arcadian, received a relatively rare for the genre Certified Fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes, but that’s not the thing that makes it stand out the most.

The Disney-inspired monstrosities do, as bizarre as it sounds.

Arcadian’s Monsters Are Goofy’s Cousins

Let’s admit it, no one has ever expected to see horror monsters directly inspired by one of Disney’s most wholesome and, well, goofy characters — and yet, here we are. When speaking to IGN, director Benjamin Brewer revealed the source of his inspiration and explained how Goofy can be terrifying and what drove him to do it.

“I had this idea of big nocturnal eyes and massive spaced-out teeth. Teeth way too big for the creature’s mouth.

Whenever you visit the “happiest place on Earth” you usually plan out your entire trip from going on all of your favorite rides to picking out your favorite restaurant and even picking up a souvenir or two. But what you don’t expect to happen is getting seriously hurt, which unfortunately can happen.

A woman named Katrina Griffin, who was visiting Disney’s California Adventure in April of 2022 with her family, is suing the Walt Disney Company due to injuries sustained on her trip.

The lawsuit states that on April 3rd, 2022, Griffin bent over to tie her daughter’s shoes. When a cast member dressed as the popular Mickey Mouse character Goofy ran into her and they both fell onto the hard cement with him on top of her. She claims that she felt all of his body weight on her.

The suit was filed at the Orange County Superior Court in March.

Last year I wrote about how Buddy Daddies had the most relatable anime man of 2023. This was because Rei Suwa was a professional hitman who, when he wasn’t on a mission, kept himself entertained with video games and comfortable sweatpants. Having a clear line between “work” and “comfort” speaks to me, so it was only natural that I’d gravitate toward the perfectly cozy anime that is Mr. Villain’s Day Off . Related: Buddy Daddies Has Brought Us Anime's New Perfect Man As you can imagine from the title, Mr. Villain’s Day Off focuses on a villain who is set on world domination... but not when it’s his day off.

As a wannabe champion of self-care,...

At their best, films aimed at young kids can be enjoyed by adults as well and truly earn the "family movie" title. 2023 brought plenty of titles that fit the bill, from box office hits like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Migration" to streaming treats like "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget" and "Leo."

Now it's 2024's turn to show us what it's got, and while the early months of the year tend to be pretty dry when it comes to family movies, as studios are holding them back for school vacations and long summer days, there are some fresh, funny, and heartwarming new releases on offer. From a new "Peanuts" special to a fantasy movie filled with dragon-related perils to the latest high-flying antics of "Kung Fu Panda," here are the best family movies of 2024 so far.

“I wanted to experiment: can I develop a family which was not unlike my own upbringing?” says Nicolas Cage, while talking to Den of Geek about his new movie Arcadian, which premiered at SXSW 2024. “My dad did most of the heavy lifting, he did the raising because my mom sadly couldn’t be around. So it was just my father, and in this case, myself and my older brother. I saw that family dynamic in the [Elia] Kazan picture, East of Eden.”

From that description, you might imagine Arcadian to be an austere drama, something that takes place in a rustic farm house and focuses on the complex relationship between a father struggling to do right by his two boys. And you’d mostly be right… mostly.

But then Cage completes his thought. “And then I thought, well, wouldn’t it be interesting if this little family nucleus was contending with...

Nibbler the Nibblonian first appeared on "Futurama" in the episode "Love's Labours Lost in Space", wherein Leela (Katey Sagal) assumed he was a poor, lost animal that merely needed a home. She put an adorable red cape on him and outfitted him with a diaper. Nibbler had a voracious appetite and could consume many, many, many times his own body weight in pork products in a single day. Nibbler would then poop out perfectly round spheres of solidified dark matter that, quite conveniently, could serve as starship fuel.

It was later revealed that Nibbler was, in fact, Lord Nibbler, an impossibly ancient being -- born around 274 Bce -- who could speak in a clear, deep voice. He belonged to a species that possessed fleets of tiny, adorable warships and who were occasionally kidnapped and farmed for their fuel-pooping abilities. For years, whenever someone saw Nibbler speak, he could activate his...

Despite Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto being classified as the five "main" characters in the Disney canon (aka "The Fab Five"), it's actually the barrel-chested Pete who arrived before them all in 1925. Originally, Pete was a bear but evolved into Mickey's archnemesis for a time before settling into his role as the loudmouth cat often playing opposite of Goofy as we know and love him today. This new affiliation began in 1992 with the animated series "Goof Troop," which followed Goofy as a single father after he and his son Max moved back to his hometown of Spoonerville. The family ends up moving next door to Pete, a used car salesman with the integrity of Harry Wormwood in "Matilda," his real-estate agent wife Peg, their son P.J., and daughter Pistol. Max and P.J. become fast friends, forcing the two families to connect, and inspiring plenty of hijinks because of it.

One Piece unquestionably has some of the most interesting plotlines and powers for its characters which makes it all the more unique and stand out in the league of similar mangas and animes. One of these powers includes the exceptionally powerful Conqueror’s Haki — something that not everyone possesses, but those who do become incredibly powerful through the same.

The Conqueror’s Haki in action in One Piece

While there are quite a few characters from the main league in One Piece who possess the Conqueror’s Haki, there are also quite a few from the same league who are yet to officially discover it. One of these is none other than the Straw Hat Pirates navigator, Nami, though even her Conqueror’s Haki just may have been teased previously in the manga!

Disney announced today that it was shuttering its Disney Movie Club, a Columbia House-like service that provided exclusive titles on Blu-ray and DVD and heavily discounted catalog titles.

“We’ve enjoyed serving you for the last 23 years, but consumer behavior and viewing preferences continue to evolve so we have made the tough decision to close Disney Movie Club,” the official statement read. While Disney gives the closing date of July 20, patrons’ last day to order anything is May 20.

Launched in 2001, the Disney Movie Club was, ostensibly, a subscription-style service for those who wanted the latest and greatest in Disney physical home video. Every month you’d get sent the latest home video release, usually festooned with extras like lithographs or collectible pins.

But the Disney Movie Club served an essential, often overlooked secondary function, which was that they released hard-to-get and often forgotten films on physical media exclusively through the site.

It is not an uncommon sight to see how Mangakas often take inspiration from other franchises while working on their own projects. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, is one such mangaka who has even gone to the lengths to reveal from where he took the reference for the latest Luffy’s power transformation.

Luffy Gear 5 was something that many had been waiting for years, and we finally got to see it in One Piece chapter 1044, followed by an animated adaptation last year. There are some obvious references in these particular chapters and episodes taken from one of the most iconic and legendary cartoon shows ever.

The Walt Disney Company is celebrating its 100th anniversary with a hefty new Blu-ray box set containing 100 of its best animated films.

Officially titled the Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection, the box set comes with three volumes that open up to feature the original theatrical artwork for each film.

This fall, the House of Mouse will be releasing the Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection, which collects 100 animated films from both Disney and Pixar, reaching as far back as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and up through this summer's "Elemental" from Pixar. All of the movies come in a big three-volume set that unfolds in collectible storybooks. The Disney100 Blu-ray box set also includes the original theatrical poster art for every movie within the storybook,...

Disney just announced the release of the Disney Legacy Animated Film Collection, featuring 100 animated films from Disney, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar. It’s packaged together as a three-volume set that unfolds into your own storybook.

The set is festooned with original poster designs and comes with digital codes for every movie, alongside a lithograph from Disney’s upcoming feature “Wish,” a certificate of authenticity and crystal Mickey Mouse ears engraved with the “Disney 100” logo. The limited-edition collection will be available on Nov. 14, with pre-orders beginning on Walmart.com on Sept. 18. It has a retail price of $1,500.

What’s fascinating about the set is that it includes a wide array of classic Walt Disney Animation Studios features, along with beloved Pixar favorites and a smattering of films (many of them direct-to-video sequels to earlier masterworks) created by the since-shuttered DisneyToon Studios. That includes “Tinker Bell,” “Return to Neverland,” “The...

“Atlanta” is bowing out with a final season and hoping to earn one last Best Comedy Series nomination after a stellar run at the Emmys.

Donald Glover‘s hit FX show, which he created, co-writes, co-directs, and stars in follows the multi-hyphenate as Earn, who tries to help his cousin Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) make a career as a rapper in Atlanta named Paper Boi. Across the show’s run, they and Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) come across various issues that touch on money, race, relationship, status, and parenthood.

The show has moments of real drama and has received acclaim for its distinct brand of eccentric humor, driven by Glover. With moments of bizarre surrealness, the show is idiosyncratic in its ideas and executions and is one of the most unique shows from one of the most impressive storytellers out there.

The show has always been well-received and its fourth and final season,...

When looked at from the outside, the premises of the first two "Bill & Ted" movies are baffling. In the first film, the title characters (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) are a pair of slacker California dudes who are more interested in their band than in studying high school history. Randomly, a visitor from the future (George Carlin) appears in a high-tech, time-traveling phone booth and announces to Bill and Ted that their band will not only become successful, but that their music will become so profound as to unite humanity and usher in a new utopia. In order to form their band, however, they will have to pass an upcoming history exam and stay in school. The Carlin character gives them the phone booth, and they travel through time, viewing history in person through their particular slacker lens. In the sequel, Bill and Ted die and traverse the afterlife...

Debating which Disney animated film reigns supreme as the greatest of all time is a fool's errand, but if I was given a vote, I'd throw some love toward "A Goofy Movie." While it's not about a singing princess making her dreams come true or "Hamlet" but with lions, "A Goofy Movie" is a silly, heartwarming road-trip movie about generational differences and coming-of-age in a single-parent household. As a youngster, I very much saw myself in Max Goof (Jason Marsden), a rebellious teen constantly embarrassed by his well-meaning father and hiding his adolescent insecurity by performing. I distinctly remember sharing the second-hand embarrassment during the pair's excursion to Lester's Possum Park, imagining how I too would cringe out of my skin if my parents were that excited about broken, animatronic nightmare possums.

As I grew older, my perspective shifted. Re-watching "A Goofy Movie" as an adult, I couldn't help myself from immediately siding with Goofy.

When it comes to iconic Disney animated characters, Goofy comes up a few notches below Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. Those two saw massive popularity early on in the company's lifespan, and even got to lead theatrical movies like 1944's "The Three Caballeros" with Donald, or Mickey starring in the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" episode of the 1940 film "Fantasia." Goofy's appeal was different, less wide-ranging, and more eccentric than a perpetually exasperated duck or a blandly kind mouse. You couldn't even tell what species he was, although his longtime voice actor Bill Farmer claims he is a dog.

Goofy eventually did get to lead a theatrical film, although several decades after his 1932 debut. The character was best known for Disney shorts those days, and for his cartoony antics in them. As you could guess from his name, he was careless and clumsy, and his oblivious goofball shtick would often result in wildly elaborate slapstick.

Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) is a legacy character on General Hospital. As a member of the Cassadine family, his life has been filled with drama since his birth. Many actors have stepped into the role of the troubled young boy; let’s take a look at a few of them.

Spencer is the son of General Hospital couple Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) and Courtney Matthews (Alicia Leigh Willis). When Courtney became pregnant, she didn’t know if Nikolas or her ex-husband Jax Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) was the baby’s father. A paternity test revealed Jax was the father; however, unbeknownst to Courtney, Jax altered the results.

Spencer is born prematurely after Courtney contracted encephalitis. The baby survives, but Courtney doesn’t. Before her death, Jax confesses Nikolas is the baby’s father,...

Burny Mattinson, who worked as an animator, director, producer and story artist during a 70-year career as the longest-serving “castmember” in the history of The Walt Disney Co., has died. He was 87.

Mattinson died after a short illness on Monday at a Canoga Park assisted living facility in Los Angeles, the studio announced. He was due to receive his 70th anniversary service award — the studio’s first ever — on June 4.

Mattinson was working full time at Walt Disney Animation Studios as a story consultant and mentor at the time of his death.

“Burny’s artistry, generosity and love of Disney Animation and the generations of storytellers that have come through our doors, for seven decades, has made us better — better artists, better technologists and better collaborators,” Walt Disney Animation Studios chief creative officer Jennifer Lee said in a statement. “All of us who have had the honor to know him...
