Say what you want about that movie but Charlize Theron was so good in that role.
It wasn't exactly a stretch for her. She seemed to be more slumming it in that one. Besides, it's not hard to look amazing acting against old Kristen "dead eyes" Stewart. Only Vin Desiel and Hayden Christensen are more wooden.

Current marketing suggests that live trained dogs star in this remake. If you'll excuse me donning a tinfoil cap for a moment, I can't help but wonder if the dogs aren't animated creations, as in The Lion King. I suspect they're waiting to see if anyone notices the difference. Watch the trailer, and tell me that those are real canines.
It's a combination of both CG and real dogs. It's no different from making dogs and cats talk in the Cats & Dogs movie or Mr. Ed.

Do we know if Disney + is going to have any good parks content? Or old Wonderful World of Disney episodes?

Awhile back, D23.com posted the Wonderful World of Color episode Disneyland Goes to the Worlds Fair. It was a new scan that looked really good and I assumed it was because of the upcoming Disney+ launch. They did say all of their content would eventually be on Disney+. I'll see if I can find the link to the D23 video. If you want to watch and don't have a membership, just sign up for the free one.

Perhaps that’s what’s throwing me off. Still, after watching the trailer again, there are some non speaking shots that look entirely artificial to me.

Mr. Ed -- being a 60's sitcom--used no CG or animation. Just a wonderful live horse with a human hair placed under his upper lip and a voice actor who was great at matching his readings with the horse's movements. And the occasional full-body dummy (the Dodgers episode) or hilariously bad blue screen (Mr. Ed surfing). One of my all-time favorite shows; so relaxed and good-hearted. :) So glad it hasn't yet been turned into an awful modern "comedy" flick with Adam Sandler as Wilbur and Dwayne Johnson as Mr. Ed.

Well there was a 2004 tv movie called Mr. Ed with Sherman Hemsley (Mr. Jefferson) voicing Mr. Ed.

Live Action Snow White to start filming next year in Vancouver...

I have heard people say singer Katy Perry is a good choice for Snow White. She did play Smufette in the two Smurf movies but that was voice acting. I know that some of her music videos show her acting skills.

Oh yes.
As is so often the case, whenever I think of Katy Perry, the first thing that springs to mind are her spectacular... um... acting skills.

I believe all of the WWOC episodes were remastered in HD; they were shown in HD quality at AP-exclusive "Wednesdays with Walt" events in the Opera House, and you can buy Disneyland Around the Seasons in HD on iTunes. I hope that the episodes make their way onto Disney+; that's what I'm looking forward to most, if it happens.

The dog actors for Lady and Tramp (dogters?) were brought out on stage during D23. I also remember someone tweeting that one of them was seen "taking care of business" outside their hotel during the convention.

What? They couldn't find a fire hydrant? I hope they brought a bag to pick up after themselves.
