Geek News You Should Know: 5/20/14

1) Disney has announced that starting this September, going on tour will be Frozen on Ice.  That makes a tremendous amount of sense as an Disney on Ice event and the perfect time to capitalize on their mega-smash hit.  Frozen on Ice will be hosted by Mickey and Minnie Mouse and also feature cameos from other Disney characters.  The tour will start in Orlando in September and make it's way around the country.  The show will feature 39 skaters and will have six different versions going around the United States in 2014 and 2015.  Ticket information can be found here.



2) Sadly, there are going to be no Pixar movies released in theaters this year, however that doesn't mean we are going to be without any new Pixar content as Disney released a new Cars short titled "The Radiator Springs 500 1/2" as streaming content on their Disney Movies Anywhere service.  While I'm not the biggest Cars fan, I definitely look forward to checking this out and you can to by going here.

3) A very underrated and canceled gem of a show, Enlisted, will have it's four remaining episodes aired on FOX starting June 1 and over the next 4 weeks.  If you haven't checked out this very funny military family based comedy, I recommend doing so as most of the episodes can be found on Hulu.

4) The trailer for the new Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Wanted) comic book adaptation of The Secret Service will be titled Kingsman: The Secret Service and has hit the internet today along with a poster for the movie.  I'm a huge fan of the comic book and can't wait to see the movie, should be a lot of fun and Colin Firth is great casting for the main character.





5) The the sequel to The Lego Movie is being worked on, it was announced today that the "spinoff" project based on Lego's popular Ninjago line of toys will be hitting theaters in Fall 2016.  I really have no idea what Ninjago is, other than seeing some of the toys in stores.  I'm guessing this leans towards a younger audience, but hopefully will have elements that appeal to all audiences.  I mean, they're ninjas, it can't be all bad.
