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!
You: sob uncontrollably, giggle, dance with joy,
or give a high-pitched scream.
I'm going to go with dance with joy.
Dance with joy.
What's your ideal pet?
I mean, it's got to be unicorn.
I'm sticking with that.
You know, I always wanted a donkey when I was a kid.
So I'm going to go with that.
Says nobody.
I know.
He's judging your answers.
What are you doing there?
True love is...
Ice cream cake for me.
It's putting someone else before yourself, Trent.
Well, then you could share the ice cream cake.
I could share it, yeah.
ANDRE: What's your opinion on carrots?
Tastes great with ranch, the only way to eat them.
An essential part of life.
All right, the Olaf technicians have
tallied up all your answers.
And we have the results, what percent Olaf you are.
[DRUM ROLL]
Trent, you are 25% Olaf.
Oh.
You're a little more level-headed than Olaf.
You probably don't lose your nose every two seconds.
However--
[DRUM ROLL]
Dan, you are 100%--
[CHEERING]
Olaf.
What?
You should definitely take this as a compliment.
Everyone loves Olaf.
Well.
Wow.
I feel like I should be holding a trophy of some kind
right now.
This is the greatest moment of my life.
I was not expecting this.
Well, thank you both so much for being here.
Really appreciate talking to you and having
this fun quiz with you guys.
Thank you, Andre.
Thank you so much.
And make sure you all check out "Once Upon a Snowman,"
now on Disney+.
Now before we go, we've got a very powerful
movie to talk to you about.
Yes, the Disney+ original movie, "Clouds,"
directed by Justin Baldoni, tells the true-life story
of a high school student with raw,
musical talent living with osteosarcoma,
a rare bone cancer.
Spending his limited time following his dreams,
Zach embarks on an unforgettable journey about love, friendship,
and the power of music.
Now we're going to hear from Fin Argus and Sabrina Carpenter
to talk about the movie.
Hello, I'm Fin Argus, and I play
Zach Sobiech in the Disney+ original movie, "Clouds."
I'm Sabrina Carpenter, and I play Sammy Brown.
I was 13 when this song came out and it blew up.
And I remember listening to it in the basement of my house
and crying because I was so moved
and inspired by Zach's story.
I read the script and I fell in love.
And then I went and looked up the song.
And I got chills, just after reading the story
and then so closely getting to, like, experience the reason
why the story exists.
It was destined to be a movie and to be shared with people
and to inspire people.
What inspires me most about Zach's story
is the fact that he used music to deal
with such difficult emotions and he made something beautiful
and made it a way to connect with people on a deeper level.
And that's exactly what I like to do with my music.
Everybody that watches his story,
hears his story, feels touched and feels inspired in some way.
And it really just is such an urgent reminder to start living
and to make sure that you're happy
and you're surrounding yourself with love
and you're doing the things that make you feel full.
One super memorable moment from filming
was a scene in the movie where Sabrina
and I write a song together.
And it turns into this beautiful montage sequence.
It was like 3:00 in the morning.
When we were filming, we were so tired.
But we were crying together and smiling and laughing
and it was amazing.
We all became just really, really important to each other
in our lives.
I remember nights just running through Montreal with them
and exploring the city and singing songs from the movie
and singing songs just in general.
Also spending time with the real Sammy and Amy and Mitch
and the wonderful family.
I think those are probably, like,
my favorite memories, overall, from filming.
Be sure to check out the new Disney+ original movie, "Clouds."
Which is now streaming on Disney+.
It's so great to watch those two talk about this movie.
And can I just say that those two are so talented?
I absolutely agree.
And now we get to see a very special performance from Fin
himself.
Let's check it out.
[GUITAR PLAYING]
(SINGING) Well, I fell down, down, down
into this dark and lonely hole.
There was no one there to care about me anymore.
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge.
You were sitting there, holding a rope.
And we'll go up, up, up.
But I'll fly a little higher.
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer
up here, my dear.
It won't be long now.
When we get back on land, well, I'll never get my chance.
Be ready to live, and it'll be ripped right out my hands.
And maybe someday, we'll take a little ride.
We'll sit there holding hands and
everything will be just fine.
And we'll go up, up, up.
But I'll fly a little higher.
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer
up here, my dear.
It won't be long now.
If only I had a little bit more time.
If only I had a little bit more time with you.
It could go up, up, up.
And take that little ride.
We'll sit there holding hands and
everything will be just right.
And maybe someday, I'll see you again.
We'll float up in the clouds and we'll never see the end.
And we'll go up, up, up.
But I'll fly a little higher.
Go up in the clouds because the view's
a little nicer up here my dear.
It won't be long now.
All right, people.
We talked about "The Mandalorian."
We explored the beginnings of Olaf's frozen journey.
And we just heard from Sabrina and Fin from the Disney+
original film, "Clouds."
So I think we're pretty much wrapped for the day, Andre.
We had a lot of fun.
And we did it, Jenny.
Our first episode is done.
Yay!
Go us!
I feel like Scooter at the end of an episode of "Muppets Now."
I get that feeling of success.
Yes.
Honestly, same.
Everyone watching, please be sure to like,
subscribe, and share this video.
And head on over to Disney+.
But make sure you come back here
next week to check out a new episode of "What's Up, Disney+."
Until then, we will see you next time.
Bye, Jenny.
See you next time, Andre.
Bye.
So I guess it's the end.
Wait, what? What do you mean?
It's the end.
Good night, everybody.
Just like that, it ends?
Yeah, it's over.
We can't end like that.
