This will further complete the midwest. I do believe they want to get to Michigan and then connect it with the Upper Peninsula to Minnesota and go backwards from there.

That makes sense.

Does it though?  Lol! I guess they are trying to hit some BIG locations to get people excited, which makes sense. I would just like to have I-90 from Seattle to Chicago complete.

It doesn't make much sense.  We're just trying to justify it.

Oh good to hear! A couple more years at least of KOTH! 

KING OF THE HILL RENEWED FOR MORE SEASONS

King of the Hill is returning to Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for season 15 on July 20. Season 15 will have 10 all-new episodes, with the show's July premiere date coming almost a year after King of the Hill season 14, the first installment since the show's revival, was released on Hulu in August 2025.

The series was a huge hit for the streamer, drawing 4.4 million viewers in its first week and making it Hulu and Disney+'s highest-rated adult animated show in the past five years. The show earning an impressive 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes following its season 14 premiere.

Season 15 is just the tip of the iceberg, with King of the Hill set to be renewed for two more seasons — seasons 16 and 17 — which will consist of 20 episodes total. That means the show could run through to 2028, assuming one season is released every year.

Ray Gunn looks like a fun action noir science fiction film at the moment.  Because of that genre, it won't be popular.  'Boy's' films never seem to succeed.  But I wish them the best. We know the budget is big.  At $150 million and it will release on Netflix.  Shame it won't have a feature release.

The film is set to be previewed at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 24.

Upcoming Disney films are . . .

Hexed.  We still know nothing about this film other than they plan to release it on November 25, 2026.

Frozen 3 is planned for November 24, 2027.

So to recap, here is how Zootopia 2 did. It was a huge hit.

Zootopia 2 grossed $428.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $1.442 billion in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.870 billion. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 92% of 226 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.5/10.

Sony's recent films had no theatrical films for 2025.  Both KPop Demon Hunters and Fixed were released on streaming services.  So that was a miss.

Goat released Feb 13, 2026. Goat grossed $103 million in the United States and Canada, and $91 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $194 million.

Upcoming films are...

Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse coming June 18, 2027.  They are expecting a big hit.

Wish Dragon 2 (never even heard of a first film) for Summer 2027.

Buds December 22, 2027.

Upcoming projects by Illumination are....

Minions & Monsters July 1, 2026

The Secret Life of Pets 3

Sing 3

Barbie Film

And another... Despicable Me 4.

I realized we never talked about this film. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 55% of 166 critics' reviews are positive to mixed, with an average rating of 5.50/10. Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 52 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.

Despite this it was a box office hit. Illumination has had a great 2026 in terms of money making. Despicable Me 4 grossed $361 million in the United States and Canada, and $625.7 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $986.7 million.
