As the cloud of pixie dust settles on the latest Disney+ announcement, two shiny, magical nuggets catch the eye: ‘Iwájú’ and ‘Dinosaurs’. Donning a new robe of intrigue and excitement, Disney+ plans to steal thunders and capture hearts yet again.
First up on the platter, ‘Iwájú’, an animated series of African origin, set to grace the small screens as a fresh dash of pan-African culture on a global platform. Delivering a sharp contrast to conventional American animated series, this futuristic show promises a closer look at Lagos, Nigeria, in an alternate universe. A lab product cooked up by Disney in collaboration with Kugali Media, an African comic start-up, ‘Iwájú’ promises a bold representation of unique culture, social issues, and class disparity.
Now, as we are digesting this heavy dose of animation innovation, Disney+ throws us another curveball: ‘Dinosaurs’. Who could forget that wacky, loveable Sinclair family? Originally aired in the 90s, ‘Dinosaurs’ focuses on an average American dinosaur family whose antics, struggles and family dynamics keep the audience enthusiastically engaged. Appealing to both new audience members and those relishing in nostalgia, Disney+ is giving this 90’s sitcom a life preserver and we’re here for it.
In the immensely diverse domain of streaming platforms, Disney+ proves time and again that their magic never falters. The advent of ‘Iwájú’ brings a fresh perspective to the animated world, highlighting diversity, culture, and innovation. On the other hand, the resurrection of ‘Dinosaurs’ sees Disney+ hitting the nostalgic vein yet again, ensuring a guaranteed laughter riot.
The Verdict
As Disney+ keeps widening their cultural gambits and animated spectacles, one cannot help but sit back, popcorn in hand, and be wowed over.
The Hot Take
While we hop aboard Bindilou’s Swamp Monster (Bonus points if you don’t have to Google that reference), the action taken by Disney+ in incorporating ‘Iwájú’ in their spectrum is commendable. Breaking the mold of the animated genre with the unexplored magic of African culture is stepping up the game. It is vital, necessary, and, dare I say it, the future of global storytelling.
As for ‘Dinosaurs’? Nothing tickles the funny bone quite like a sassy Baby Sinclair! With a plethora of streaming giants battling it out with gripping dramas and intense thrillers, the return of ‘Dinosaurs’ is a joyous, much-needed reminder that sometimes all we need is a dash of nostalgia and hearty laugh. So, prepare for the ride of your life and remember, As Earl Sinclair would say, “I’m the daddy, I do what I want”.
