The magic of Walt Disney’s dream unfolds when “Disneyland Handcrafted,“a feature documentary from Leslie Iwerks, takes viewers on an unforgettable journey through the exhilarating year that gave rise to The Happiest Place on Earth. Built from rare archival footage and original audio recordings, the film begins streaming on Disney+ on January 22, 2026.

“Disneyland Handcrafted” reveals the extraordinary artistry and grit it took hundreds of craftspeople to bring Walt Disney’s impossible dream project of Disneyland to fruition – from groundbreaking to Opening Day on July 17, 1955.

The documentary captures both the legacy and nostalgia of the year leading up to the creation of the Disneyland Resort. Through newly unearthed materials from the Walt Disney Archives, Iwerks and her team uncovered long-forgotten 16mm film reels and audio recordings. The result is an unpolished, fly-on-the-wall perspective that captures what was truly happening behind the scenes, told through the firsthand accounts of the artists, craftsmen, and Imagineers who were there.

Since opening over 70 years ago, Disneyland has laid the groundwork for a massive global theme park industry that is currently in the biggest era of growth, making this film a truly special treat for Disney fans. 

From New Line Cinema and Nocturna comes THEY WILL KILL YOU. The film unleashes a blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy in which a young woman must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humour.

THEY WILL KILL YOU stars Zazie Beetz, Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette.

Directed by Kirill Sokolov and written by Sokolov & Alex Litvak, the film is produced by Andy Muschietti, Barbara Muschietti and Dan Kagan, and executive produced by Russell Ackerman, John Schoenfelder, Carl Hampe, Litvak and Sokolov.

Behind the camera, Sokolov is joined by director of photography Isaac Bauman, production designer Jeremy Reed, editor Luke Doolan, costume designer Neil McClean and visual effects supervisor Marc Smith. The composer is Carlos Rafael Rivera, the music supervisor is Andrea von Foerster and the casting director is Richard Delia.

New Line Cinema and Nocturna present THEY WILL KILL YOU, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, only in theatres in North America on March 27, 2026, and internationally beginning on 25 March 2026.

We have never been shy about our love of the Honda Accord, hence the opportunity to be paired with the 2025 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring for the Holidays, was truly like coming home!

This midsize luxury sedan with a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, 16-Valve DOHC with Dual Variable Timing Control (VTC) engine and 204 horsepower, exuding pure luxury and practicality. It’s a perfect everyday drive, equipped for everything Canadian weather has ready to toss its way – including rain-sensing wipers! The biggest selling point however is its unheard-of fuel economy at 5.0/5.7/5.3 litres/100 km. Not too many an endless array of active and passive safety features.

We love the Accord Hybrid Touring‘s feature-rich interior, many of which are under the control of its oversized 12.3-inch screen. Connecting is a breeze with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a premium 12-speaker Bose audio system, and heated/cooling/ventilated seats. Did we mention dual-zone climate control as well? This is a tech-driven, smooth ride and a top of its class experience.

The sedan boasts a sleek, European-inspired fastback design and sporty look, with LED lighting and glossy black accents. And a gorgeous moonroof to boot! It is boosted by power-adjustable leather seats, and ample space front to back for everyone and whatever they might have to store in the trunk.

The praise is unanimous for Honda‘s continued focus on active and passive safety features. The Accord Hybrid Touring‘s robust Honda Sensing suite, including BSI, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Lane Keep Assist, making this driving experience feel very secure.
