Disney's Summer Theatrical Releases

It's summer time about to be a great time to go see movies to cool off in between swimming and all the fun recreational events summer brings. My wife and I love Disney movies. We are most excited about Maleficent which opened over the weekend. Who wouldn't be excited to see Angelina take on the role of one of Disney's Villains. Let's see what other movies that Disney has in store for us.

Looks like the summer will be filled with new Disney favorites. There are some exciting Disney movies coming out this Fall that I will share later this summer. During the hottest days of summer hiding out in a movie theater can be a nice option. With so many blockbusters out during the summer there should be something for everyone. Enjoy the movies! Until next time...
