  • Hello there, everyone, and welcome

  • to the very first episode of What's Up, Disney+.

  • I'm Andre.

  • And I'm Jenny and welcome to the weekly--

  • There goes my Cuban accent.

  • Let's do that again.

  • (CUBAN ACCENT) The weekly Cuban.

  • Welcome to the weekly Disney+ show, where we give

  • updates on all things Disney+.

  • Not only am I so excited to be a part of this show,

  • but I'm excited to do this with you, Jenny.

  • We've known each other for a while

  • and we get to talk about Disney together, which is great.

  • We're both huge Disney fans, Andre.

  • I think that's why we became friends to begin with.

  • I mean we've bumped into each other

  • at countless conventions and panels.

  • So I think we're in the right place here.

  • I think you are, I think we both are.

  • And I think you are, if you're watching,

  • if you're a Disney fan, because anything

  • that has to do with Disney+, we are

  • talking about it right here.

  • And we can't wait to bring you along for the ride.

  • We have a lot to go through for our first episode.

  • First, we're going to take you to a galaxy

  • far, far away with the Emmy award-winning series,

  • "The Mandalorian."

  • Then we'll be talking with directors Trent Correy and Dan

  • Abraham about the newest animated short

  • from Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Once Upon a Snowman."

  • To wrap things up, we have an interview with Fin

  • Argus and Sabrina Carpenter from Disney+'s original movie,

  • "Clouds."

  • And not only that, Fin will be performing a song

  • from the movie's soundtrack.

  • Can't wait to show it to you.

  • Here we go.

  • It's time for my favorite lone warrior

  • travailing the outer reaches of the galaxy.

  • That's right, we're talking about "The Mandalorian."

  • You have no idea, Andre, how excited I am about season two.

  • I loved season one so much.

  • What were some of your favorite moments?

  • Oh man, there's so much to think about with this show.

  • First off, it's just really cool to have

  • a live-action Star Wars series.

  • It's got this cool, almost like Western-style vibe with it,

  • you know, lone warrior out there,

  • going on these epic adventures.

  • It's just really cool.

  • There's one specific sequence that I'll always remember

  • when he drops off The Child as one of his missions,

  • but he feels like something's not right.

  • So he goes back to rescue The Child.

  • And that entire sequence is this cool, kind of like stealth

  • mission, where he's like hiding and taking out Storm Troopers

  • one-by-one to get further in.

  • Also, gotta give props to the droids.

  • They gave us a great droid with IG-11.

  • Uh-huh.

  • When he comes out in that one scene,

  • and is just like twisting and turning

  • and blasting everywhere. - (BLASTING NOISES)

  • I was just like, this is amazing!

  • I remember when they showed a little bit of that

  • in the trailer, but then when you see it in the show,

  • it's like, whoa, that's so cool!

  • The action is incredible.

  • And I think what's really great about the Mandalorian is that

  • a lot is done through body language

  • because we cannot see his face.

  • And there's that scene where he's sitting down

  • and he looks over to the missing gear knob

  • that he used to give The Child to play with.

  • And he's not there and you could just--

  • Right.

  • --tell with his body language that he has a heart,

  • that he has a conscience.

  • And it's actually a very emotional scene.

  • It choked me up.

  • Oh yeah.

  • Also, I just want to give a shout-out to Pedro Pascal.

  • I adore him.

  • He's an amazing actor.

  • I am all about the fact that Star

  • Wars has so many Latino actors.

  • But yes, I'm going to bring in The Child here because it

  • became such a meme-able moment, where he

  • comes out with his little soup cup

  • and his hands are just like--

  • I just thought it was hilar-- it was such an endearing moment.

  • Yeah.

  • It's just really cool.

  • And they have a lot of Easter eggs in this show

  • too, which I think is really nice.

  • There's one episode where if you know Star Wars,

  • you might recognize a certain planet that pops up,

  • maybe even the cantina on that planet.

  • I fangirled so hard when I saw that scene.

  • And honestly, we can talk about this all day or for weeks,

  • possibly.

  • But we got to get back to the script.

  • Season two of "The Mandalorian" premieres Friday,

  • October 30 on Disney+.

  • Can't wait to see the new season and I'm

  • sure we're gonna be talking about it

  • a lot more after it comes out.

  • ANDRE: This is big news.

  • Disney and Pixar's "Soul" will be streaming exclusively

  • on Disney+ on December 25.

  • I've been excited to see this movie ever

  • since I saw the teaser.

  • I'm so glad we all get to be able to see

  • it on Disney+ on Christmas Day.

  • JENNY: Disney+ announced what's coming in November,

  • including "Marvel's 616," "Inside Pixar," "Black Beauty,"

  • and much, much more.

  • ANDRE: We recently got brand new images from "The LEGO

  • Star Wars Holiday Special."

  • Happy life day, everyone.

  • JENNY: A new Disney+ original movie, "Sneakerella,"

  • which gives a fresh, new take on the classic Cinderella

  • story, was just announced.

  • ANDRE: George Lucas's "Willow" will be getting

  • its own series on Disney+ with Jon M.

  • Chu set to direct the pilot.

  • Earlier this week, we got a new special look

  • at "The Mandalorian" season 2.

  • Can't wait to see more of that series.

  • JENNY: And that's what's new.

  • Jenny, guess what.

  • What?

  • It's time for us to build a snowman.

  • Oh, yes, I love me some Olaf.

  • Yes, and he is the star of Walt

  • Disney Animation Studio's newest animated short,

  • "Once Upon a Snowman."

  • It is the untold origin story of "Frozen"'s

  • summer-loving snowman, Olaf.

  • And you got to talk to the directors.

  • So let's check it out.

  • I'm here with Trent Correy and Dan Abraham,

  • the directors of "Once Upon a Snowman."

  • Hi, guys.

  • How you doing?

  • Good, Andre, thank you.

  • Nice to be here.

  • For someone who hasn't seen this short yet, what would

  • you say they can expect?

  • Well, this is the untold origins.

  • So this is, you know, getting to see

  • Olaf take his very first steps.

  • We don't actually see that moment in the first movie.

  • So you have to tell us what it was like working with Josh Gad.

  • Josh Gad is very much Olaf.

  • I got to sit there in the booth with him

  • and read lines to him as another character.

  • And when he would, you know, say his line back to me,

  • and inside, I'm sort of like, I'm talking to Olaf

  • and he's talking to me.

  • And it was so much fun.

  • Yeah, and Dan and I were just, I mean, trying

  • not to laugh the whole time.

  • Well, you're better than I am.

  • I would have bust out laughing.

  • So you two have obviously worked a lot

  • with Olaf, making this short.

  • We have a little quiz here that you guys are going to do.

  • And we're going to see at the end of it,

  • what percent Olaf you are.

  • And if we're less than 75%, we don't get

  • to direct this short anymore?

  • Is that--

  • We'll see, we'll see what happens after.

  • Oh look, it's summer!
