Kingdom Hearts gets 1st-ever original anime series on Disney+
TV series to expand the Kingdom Hearts universe with brand-new story
Kingdom Hearts is getting its own anime series on Disney+, as announced at the D23 fan event.
It is developed in partnership with the action RPG video game creator Tetsuya Nomura and the creative team at Square Enix.
The series will reimagine the iconic adventure with a brand-new story that will expand on the universe of Kingdom Hearts. This, while celebrating the characters that have resonated with millions of fans around the world.
The collaborative franchise has spanned more than two decades, featuring crossovers of various Disney properties as well as appearances by characters from the Square Enix titles like Final Fantasy.
The TV series adds to the transmedia which includes manga series, soundtracks, action figures, and a collectible card game.
Kingdom Hearts joins a growing slate of original animated series for Disney+, including Dragon Striker, Phineas and Ferb, Big City Greens, and the upcoming Messi and the Giants, Warrior Cats, and Journey.
Marvel Studios’ Avengers Endgame: Encore will be available on Disney+ from Friday, November 13.
With just 37 days until Avengers: Doomsday, it’s the perfect way to kick-off fans’ countdowns.
They will be able to relive the added post-credit scenes that effectively connects the events of Endgame to the upcoming Doomsday film.
The encore version of the finale to Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga, of course, released in cinemas last September.
Its Disney+ release comes right after the conclusion of Marvel Studios’ VisionQuest, which also confirmed the return of Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch during its post-credit scene.

The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert finally arrives in Manila
The run goes from March 4 to 6 at Solaire.
As far as films in concert go, The Lord of the Rings is the classic experience for fans. Since 2008, the concert experience has been touring the globe, enamoring fans of the series with live renditions of Howard Shore’s iconic soundtrack. Now, the experience is finally arriving in Manila. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert will run in the Philippines from March 4 through 6 next year.
There’s a reason why the iconic trilogy is the classic experience for films in concert. Besides being a legendary film franchise, the series features Howard Shore’s Academy Award-winning score. Fans will likely still recognize the dulcet strings of the Shire or the grandiose crescendo of the Fellowship.
From March 4 to 6, The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert will run at The Theatre in Solaire. Under the baton of Reuben Blundell, the concert will star the 96-member Filharmonika Orchestra, the Philippine Madrigal Singers’ 100-member adult choir and 50-member boys’ choir, and soloist Malena Rampi.
Film Community Philippines members can get exclusive pre-sale access from November 9 to 11. Meanwhile, public ticket sales will start on November 20 via TicketWorld.com.ph.

The journey to Arrakis isn’t over just yet. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures are bringing back Dune and Dune: Part Two to select cinemas and IMAX in the Philippines for a limited one-week run starting November 11.
The re-release gives audiences a chance to revisit Denis Villeneuve’s award-winning sci-fi films before the highly anticipated conclusion to his Dune trilogy. Moviegoers will also get an exclusive sneak peek at Dune: Part Three.
