You’ll fall in love with both the Hallmark stars and devoted fans alike as they forge a wholesome bond on this unforgettable voyage.

Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado
Dora embarks on her most daring quest yet in the new live-action film Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado. Alongside Diego, Boots, and new friends, she heads into the jungle to find an ancient treasure that grants a magical wish, all while being chased by mercenaries.
The vibrant adventure brings a fresh twist to the beloved franchise, blending action, magic, and heartfelt themes that will hit home with new explorers and longtime fans. Samantha Lorraine and Jacob Rodriguez light up the screen as cousins Dora and Diego. They have both a playful charm and emotional depth as the story explores growing up, identity, and the importance of staying true to yourself.
With high-stakes stunts and magical elements that go beyond the original animated series, Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado is a thrilling ride the whole family can enjoy.
Dora and the Search for Sol Dorado is streaming on Paramount+.
KPop Demon Hunters
Huntr/x is slaying the charts and demon boy bands in Netflix’s hit animated film KPop Demon Hunters — and you’re about to be their biggest fan!
With Arden Cho as Rumi, May Hong as Mira, and Ji-young Yoo as Zoey, this fierce K-pop trio leads a double life: pop stars by day, demon hunters by night. Their latest challenge is battling a swoon-worthy rival boy band who are secretly demons called the Saja Boys.
Not only does the film celebrate Korean culture and mythology, it also beautifully tackles themes of guilt, self-love, and healing. With a killer soundtrack, standout animation, and an incredible amount of heart, KPop Demon Hunters is easily one of the best animated films of the year.
KPop Demon Hunters is streaming on Netflix.
Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires
In Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires, a summer roadtrip brings Zed and Addison face-to-face with two warring monster factions: Vampires and Daywalkers. To stop an even greater threat, they’ll have to help these rival groups unite before it’s too late.
Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly pass the torch to Malachi Barton and Freya Skye, who shine as Victor and Nova. The two are leaders of their respective clans caught in an almost Romeo and Juliet-esque rivalry. Both are pushing against expectations as they wrestle with themes of leadership, legacy, and inherited prejudice. The Zombies 4 soundtrack definitely delivers, mixing nostalgic throwbacks with new high-energy favorites. Highlights include Skye and Barton’s romantic duet “Dream Come True” and Skye’s empowering solo “My Own Way.”
With a tease of an ocean monster lurking beneath the surface, it looks like Zombies 5 could be making waves soon.
Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires is streaming on Disney+.
