Disney Movies Set for 2021
“I never called my work an ‘art.’ It’s part of show business, the business of building entertainment.” -Walt Disney
I love it when Disney announces all the movies they have planned for the upcoming year, it makes me so excited for what’s to come on the big screen (or screen at home). I always have a hard time deciding which one I am most looking forward to, but this year I think it might be the reinvention of West Side Story. What do you think will be your favorite?
