PlayStation deletes purchased movies from customer accounts Due to the expiration of a licensing agreement with Studio Canal, Reminding Us Nothing Digital Is Ever Truly Ours

 Sony has begun talking to its customers for purchasing digital copies of movies on its PlayStation Store, too. Per Kotaku, PlayStation has begun notifying customers that some of the movies that they purchased will no longer be available in their libraries due to the expiration of a licensing agreement with Studio Canal. A statement on the PlayStation Store website reads, “From September 1, 2026, due to our content licensing agreements, you will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library. Thank you.”

Sony is contacting PlayStation Store users who bought movies from the platform that were distributed by StudioCanal—like Terminator 2, And Total Recall—to say that “you will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library.” There’s no mention of any refunds or make-goods for the affected users. Sony simply says the films are going away “due to our content licensing agreements,” once again reaffirming the fact that you are never truly buying anything that’s digital, just temporarily renting it. Now, 551 films and TV series that are being pulled from people’s libraries, with no way to find it again After September 1

July film And TV Preview preview from Rina's Gossip Blog!

Movie Premieres:

 - Perhaps the strangest and most high-concept of all the franchise stars’ many screen appearances, Minions & Monsters sees the little banana-loving pills go Hollywood (and meet George Lucas). Set in 1920s Tinsel Town, the Minions (director and co-writer Pierre Coffin) use black magic to conjure a Lovecraftian blob named Goomi (Trey Parker), who takes them to Monster Island in search of the perfect star.

- Less than a decade after the release of the animated original, and two years after its long-awaited sequel, Disney returns to ancient Polynesia with a live-action remake of Moana. Despite the flesh, blood, and CGI, the story remains the same: Moana (Catherine Laga’aia), hits the high seas with a wise-cracking, musclebound demigod, Maui (a returning Dwayne Johnson), to recover an ancient artifact 

- Christopher Nolan’s latest is also his most classically epic. Based on the classic epic, Homer’s Odyssey, Nolan brings his scale, ambition, and practicality to an IMAX-sized adaptation of Odysseus’ (Matt Damon)

-  Kevin Hart returns with his Ride Along director for the bachelor party comedy 72 Hours. Hart plays a 40-year-old accidentally added to a random group chat of 20-somethings (Marcello Hernández, Mason Gooding, Ben Marshall, and Kam Paterson). To prove his youth, he joins them in Miami for a three-day bachelor party. Hilarity, presumably, ensues.

- Happy Gilmore for the tennis world, The Dink stars Jake Johnson as a washed-up tennis pro, who takes up pickleball.  Mary Steenburgen helps him find his serve again. Written by Sean Clements and directed by Josh Greenbaum, the movie brings a host of ringers to the court, including Ed Harris, Ben Stiller, Patton Oswalt, Chloe Fineman, and Chris Parnell.

- Five years after cracking the multiverse wide open, Spider-Man: Brand New Day spins a whole new web for Spider-Man. After reversing the events of his whole life to save his friends, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) joins the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) to take on the Scorpion (Michael Mando) and win back his friends, MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon). To do so, he’ll get a little help from Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo). Oh, also, there are ninjas.

TV Premieres:

- Adventure Time: Side Quests (Hulu and Disney+, Monday, series premiere) It’s been 16 years since we first met Finn the Human and his magical canine pal Jake the Dog in the Cartoon Network favorite Adventure Time. Nearly two decades later, the duo is delightfully back adventuring across the Land of Ooo in this prequel series, with Sasha Knight voicing young Finn and O.G. series star John DiMaggio returning as his deeply loyal companion. (The cast also includes Tom Kenny as Ice King, Hynden Walch as Princess Bubblegum, Olivia Olson as Marceline, and Niki Yang as BMO.) Good news for fans of the original show: The spinoff will reportedly harken back to the monster-fighting and lighthearted hijinks of the early seasons.

- Elle (Prime Video, Wednesday, series premiere) Created by Laura Kittrell and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon, this Legally Blonde prequel series checks in with the blonde and bubbly Elle Woods (played by newcomer Lexi Minetree) six years before the events of the beloved 2001 film. Here, our high school-age heroine is forced to navigate a big move from sunny California to moody Seattle with her parents (June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott), leaving her feeling like a fish out of water when it comes to school friendships and burgeoning romances. The comedy, which has already been renewed for a second season, also stars Chandler Kinney, Jacob Moskovitz, Gabrielle Policano, and the late James Van Der Beek in his final onscreen performance.

- X-Men ’97 (Disney+, Wednesday, season two premiere) Two years ago, Marvel Animation went back to the 1990s with this spirited revival of X-Men: The Animated Series. Now for its second season, the show’s going to the ’90s and beyond: Our merry band of mutants—Cyclops (Ray Chase), Jean Grey (Jennifer Hale), Wolverine (Cal Dodd), and Storm (Alison Sealy-Smith) among them—have been scattered through time, from Ancient Egypt to 3960 A.D. They’ll have to work together to time-travel home and defeat the mutant villain Apocalypse (Ross Marquand).

Disney’s New Fantasy Hit, "Dragon Striker" Faces Major Controversy After Successful Release

 Disney has been trying to find animated shows that can travel the way anime travels, and this new soccer-fantasy series, "Dragon Striker" is an obvious swing. Soccer already gives the story a global language, while the magical power system gives it the kind of exaggerated sports energy fans usually associate with anime rather than traditional Disney Channel animation. (Source - Collider)

While series like Amphibia, The Owl House, and Gravity Falls don’t have any new animated episodes planned. this fact isn’t stopping Disney from creating wild new animated series to its roster. This year, Disney+ is planning to release the spiritual successor to the Mystery Shack’s misadventures in The Doomies, a new series that is weeks away from introducing its supernatural world. Unfortunately, a major new addition, "Dragon Striker" has recently sparked controversy following a strong start, as a major region has seemingly banned the show from airing.

Dragon Striker debuted on The Disney Channel on June 9th earlier this month, though it appears as though there is one region where the animated soccer series did not. The Middle East has reportedly cancelled the series from airing in its countries for reasons that have yet to be revealed. At present, rumors are circulating that the reasoning behind the ban is a relationship between characters Odward Stonegarden and Casper Ferreiro. While neither Disney nor the Middle East has released official statements on the ban.

Update: Disney Television has confirmed that Dragon Striker will air in the Middle East at a later date, missing its premiere earlier this month. (Source - Comicbook)

Snore, ‘Toy Story 5’ Is What Happens When You Beat a Franchise to Death, Why are you doing this, Pixar? Why? Also, Toy Story 5' Eyes $275M Global Franchise Record Box Office Opening, Sweet!

 In this latest installment of the popular franchise, "Toy Story", Woody and Buzz Lightyear are back and must contend with Bonnie’s mesmerizing new toy, Yep, Toy Story Is Back For It's Fifth Film, And With A Twist, Tech Comes To Play!

Woody and Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, respectively) in ‘Toy Story 5’

We’re not one to look a horse in the mouth, especially if that horse is named Bullseye. So let’s begin by accentuating the positive and acknowledging that Toy Story 5, the newest chapter of Pixar‘s flagship franchise, is essentially a reunion tour. It’s all about nostalgia, playing the greatest hits, the joy of seeing old faces. Or in this case, hearing old voices, one in particular. Welcome back, Joan Cusack — her take on Jessie, Yawn, that same actress from a decade ago since the previous Toy Story entry and a brief appearance in second season of the show Homecoming. At the animated movie’s premiere last week, she told a red-carpet reporter that she’s spent the last six years or so living a normal life in Chicago. You’ve been missed, Ms. Cusack, And welcome back!

The best thing about this (cash grab entry) is that Jessie (and thus Joan) finally gets to take center stage, having now become the alpha in the toybox. She’s the de facto favorite of Bonnie, the nine-year-old who is happy spending afternoons putting the gang through mock weddings and murder mysteries. The faux groom is Buzz (Tim Allen), the resident space man

Because Bonnie is an introverted kid she does not play with dolls and plastic dinosaurs and Slinky-dogs anymore. They have iPads. In the Toy Story universe, this digital harbinger of doom is known as a LilyPad, and sounds like Greta Lee doing a passive-aggressively polite voice. It connects children to “the Pond,” where they can text and play games and act like the phone-addicted zombies commonly known as “grown-ups.”
