She sits atop a rock, wind blowing through her red hair. In the distance the object of her desire recedes from the surf, and something suddenly shifts. It is the moment of epiphany for Ariel, and the one on which The Little Mermaid turns. Yet it’s also the moment of transformation for the studio that gave her life. She would change her world, all right, and ours with it. Originally a creature of tragedy in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, the once nameless heroine was reshaped by Disney, and more precisely Walt Disney Animation Studios during a moment of crisis, into an animated life so vibrant it is recognized as the beginning of the Disney Renaissance: the era in which Disney Animation reclaimed its legacy by influencing millions of children to embrace newly revitalized fantasies of princesses and castles, musicals and magic....
As surreal as it might seem to newer Star Wars fans, the omnipresent franchise once fell into a decade of relative dormancy until the late-1990s. It was a natural effect, since the Original Trilogy phenomenon played itself out upon 1983’s Return of the Jedi. It was subsequently kept afloat on television, first with two Ewoks live-action TV movies, followed by 1985-1986 Saturday morning cartoons Star Wars: Ewoks and Star Wars: Droids....
This guest post was written by Caroline Hardaker, author of Composite Creatures, a character-driven science fiction debut about the burgeoning relationship between two people set in a melancholic and mundane near-future climate change dystopia. When we think, we escape our biological bodies. We hardly ever reflect on it, but from the day we’re born until we collapse into ash – that’s all we are. Organic machines, birthed in balance with an environment we spend our lives harvesting....
In a move that shows we’re all just children, really, Sir Ian McKellen - one of England’s most highly awarded actors - makes two toy Gandalfs kiss each other. What makes it even better is that these are bobble-headed Gandalfs, so they seem to shake with passion as the actor moves them in for that fated smooch. The steamy kiss took place during a Lord of the Rings cast reunion, organised by Alamo Drafthouse and moderated by die-hard Lord of the Rings fan and talk show host, Stephen Colbert....

The Xbox One marketplace is at it again, leaking a photo of an upcoming Injustice 2 DLC character that had yet to be announced. Black Manta, while not a surprise to most Injustice 2 players who follow along with the game’s teasers, will apparently be the first DLC release post-DLC Fighter Pack 1. That’s just an assumption, however, as Fighter Pack 1’s final character has yet to be released. Poor Starfire hasn’t even had a release date announced just yet....
Visual novels are becoming an increasingly diverse genre, offering creators an avenue to tell bold, inclusive stories without many of the barriers that accompany traditional game development. We’ve seen a huge range of projects emerge in the wake of this resurgence, with titles such as Dream Daddy, Doki Doki Literature Club, and Neo Cab pulling the genre away from its limited roots and crafting it into something far more meaningful....
Grand Theft Auto is a famous game for a number of reasons, and not all of them are positive. The game has been heavily criticized for its violent, sexist, and gory content, getting all of the wrong attention from critics and censors alike. On the other hand, the game has received accolades for its visceral, engaging storylines and complex characters. That includes some memorable villains. A game that includes crooked cops, mob bosses, two-faced FBI agents, and petty smugglers is going to be populated by plenty of nasty people, so choosing the best villain from a game filled with scumbags might take some time....
In anticipation of its Early Access release in July, players will be treated to a public demo of Obsidian’s upcoming bug-fighting adventure title, Grounded, next month. The demo will run as a part of the Steam Game Fest: Summer Edition which will take place from June 9th through June 14th. For those without a gaming PC, a second demo will be available on Xbox One via the Xbox Insider program. The process is a bit more involved than playing on Steam, but it will hopefully be worth it for those players chomping at the bit to play what looks to be Obsidian’s playable version of Honey, I Shrunk The Kids....
Halo Infinite is set to have its long-awaited gameplay reveal in just a few weeks, but until then, Microsoft and 343 Industries have offered fans a huge clue for what they can expect to see. Although only a few months remain until the game is supposed to launch, fans still know next to nothing about Halo Infinite, especially in regards to who they’re supposed to shoot this time around. However, a new teaser video released on the official Halo Twitter page suggests that, whoever they fight, the Banished will be among them....
Firefight was one of the later features added to Bungie’s original Halo games. It made its first appearance in 2009 with the release of Halo 3: ODST during the height of horde modes thanks to games like Left 4 Dead and Gears of War 2. Halo’s twist on the game type brings modifiers in the form of skulls to change combat encounters on the fly, not to mention the breadth of options in Halo’s deep custom game rules....
This Harley Quinn review contains spoilers. Harley Quinn Episode 5 There’s something special about episode five of Harley Quinn.
