After splitting off from the Daytime Emmys, the first-ever Children’s & Family Emmys ceremony is here.
Taking place at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, Dec. 10, the first night of the festivities focused on the creative arts, with trophies doled out for achievements in writing, directing, voice direction, cinematography, editing and more.
The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the establishment of the Children’s & Family Emmys in late 2021, nodding to recent growth in scope and reach among that programming, which NATAS president and CEO Adam Sharp said could “stand on its own two feet.” Indeed, younger audiences aren’t strictly daytime cable viewers anymore — much of the innovation in children’s and family TV in recent years has happened in streaming. Case in point: Netflix was nominated for more awards than any other platform, beating even Disney+, Disney Channel and Disney Junior combined.

The Cinderella fairytale gets a hip hop revision in the new Disney+ film, Sneakerella starring Chosen Jacobs as the gender-swapped Cinderella, John Salley as the modern-day King, Lexi Underwood as the princess and Juan Chioran as the godfather figure. The glass slipper in this modern take is the sneaker designed by El (Jacobs), and he can read into someone's personality by their shoes. So CineMovie asked the actors to describe their ideal kicks.

Disney+‘s Sneakerella is a fresh new take on the classic Cinderella story. Premiering Friday, May 13 on the streaming service, the movie musical stars Chosen Jacobs as El and Lexi Underwood as Kira King, aka “Cinderella” and “the prince.” Sneakerella centers on El, a passionate sneakerhead from Queens, New York who dreams of being the next great sneaker designer. El works as a stock boy in a shoe store that once belonged to his late mother. He keeps his artistic talent hidden from his overburdened stepfather and mean-spirited stepbrothers. But one day, El meets Kira, the fiercely independent daughter of the fictional sneaker mogul and ex-nba star Darius King (played by real-life former NBA player John Salley), and everything changes. “With a little nudge from his best friend and a sprinkle of Fairy Godfather magic, El finds the courage to use his talent to pursue his dream of becoming a...

In the frequently picked-over corpse of author Charles Perrault’s classic story “Cinderella,” centered on a servant girl who rises from obscurity after falling in love with a prince, lie such themes as perseverance, hope and the value of being a dreamer. These are the cornerstone principles of the Disney corporation, founded by a fellow dreamer who, similar to the plucky protagonist in the fairy tale, made a wish and saw it come true. Though the studio has plundered these riches before with the likes of the popular 1997 TV movie musical and 2015’s lavish live-action feature, Disney+ original “Sneakerella” amounts to a modernized, more tween-oriented telling. Director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum’s re-sole of the story, which sees a talented teen fantasizing about designing sneakers for sports royalty, delivers a poignant take on the 1950s animated film it partially cannibalizes.

The Smiths icon Johnny Marr appealed to Greek Minister of Tourism Thanasis Theocharopoulos last month to put an end to cruel animal “taxi” rides in Santorini.
In the letter (available here), Marr points out that, as was exposed by PETA, donkeys and mules are forced to transport tourists – many of whom are British – up more than 500 steep steps, several times a day, from the port to the old town of Firá. When not being made to carry extremely heavy loads on their backs, they’re often tethered in the blazing sun without access to water or shade. He goes on to urge the minister to “please, put an end to this old-school practice of using animals as ‘beasts of burden’ and encourage tourists to use the port’s cable car – or their own two feet – Instead.”
The appeal follows a PETA eyewitness exposé revealing the horrific conditions that donkeys and...

In advance of her upcoming show in Richmond later this month, comedy icon and PETA supporter Carol Burnett is urging legislators to go one step further to protect animals by banning 24/7 dog chaining across the state.
In an op-ed running in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, she wrote:
“One of my favorite sketches on The Carol Burnett Show features the late comic genius Tim Conway doing a side-splitting impression of a dog. After being injected with a “dog serum,” he barks at the doorbell, steals food out of someone’s hand, and even licks actor Harvey Korman’s arm.
“It’s a skit that anyone who has ever shared their home with a dog can relate to — and chuckle at. Dogs, with their exuberant zest for life, are capable of experiencing so much joy. But when we deprive them of everything meaningful by tethering them outdoors 24 hours a day, they experience great sorrow,...

The Visual Snow Initiative has concluded the first ever Visual Snow Conference which took place on May 5, 2018 at Ucsf.
Founded by Sierra Domb, the Visual Snow Initiative was created to bring attention to Visual Snow, a condition that affects all ages. Visual Snow is a brain disorder which has many visual and non-visual symptoms. The main indicator of Visual Snow is that people experience seeing the world through an overlay of tiny pixilated dots. These visual disturbances persist 24/7 with the eyes open or closed. The medical community is not yet fully educated on this condition. As a result, most people who suffer from Visual Snow are misdiagnosed or marginalized by well-intentioned but unknowing physicians.
The Visual Snow Initiative has teamed up with Brandefy, Conscience Entertainment Group, and The Artists Project to produce public service announcements featuring actors, recording artists, and professional athletes. Celebrities who support the Visual Snow Initiative through...
