Pixar Releases Latest ‘Onward’ Trailer and Posters
Terminator: Dark Fate Movie Released
Elf brothers Ian and Barley Lightfoot race against time, four-legged police and a dangerous curse in their race to fix their departed father’s half-completed conjuring in the new Disney & Pixar’s animated comedy adventure, ‘Onward’
Their quest is harried, urgent, and ultimately imperiled… sounds like the makings of a hilarious family outing bound for a bittersweet ending! We see hissing unicorns fighting over trash, plenty of ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ inspired floppy dad’s missing top-half disguise, a four-legged policeman with an awesome stache, and a Manticore, once a fearless warrior, now… serving chicken nuggets at a restaurant. The adventures of the Lightfoot brothers as they race against time seem sure to evoke plenty of laughs and probably a few tears.The movie is directed by Dan Scanlon and produced by Kori Rae, the team who gave us Monsters University. The film releases on March 6, 2020.

‘Spies in Disguise’ Animated Movie Released
‘Spies in Disguise’ Animated Movie Released
'Spies in Disguise' is an animated spy adventure that turns its hero into a common pigeon, but never loses the character’s charm. Loosely inspired by Lucas Martell’s short film, 'Pigeon: Impossible', the film introduces us to the self-proclaimed ‘world’s greatest spy’ Lance Sterling and his gifted sidekick Walter Beckett.
While Sterling handles critical missions with flamboyance like James Bond, Beckett is a young scientist with a knack for inventing non-violent gizmos. The two are compelled to team up when Sterling unwittingly consumes Beckett’s experimental concoctions and turns into a pigeon. The duo embarks on an exciting mission to take down Sterling’s nemesis, Killian who’s into stealing Sterling’s identity and weaponising drones.
'Spies in Disguise' has an appealing message on non-violence and misfits, which children could relate and benefit from. The movie, directed by Nick Bruni and Troy Quane was released on Christmas day, 25th December, 2019.

Pink Floyd AR Experience Comes to Mobile Web
Pink Floyd AR Experience Comes to Mobile Web
The British rock band Pink Floyd was experimenting with visuals for decades before ‘augmented reality’ was in the common parlance. However, it’s finally caught up with them in the form of a mobile web-based AR experience
Earlier this month, Sony Music Entertainment released a comprehensive 18-disk box set titled ‘The Later Years’. The collection explores the band’s work since 1987, and includes never-before-released recordings.
‘The Later Years’ AR experience, PFLaterYears.com, gives users the choice of five pieces of iconic album art. Once selected, the album art appears in the camera view. It doesn’t appear as static images but as animations that play out before your eyes.
