With Noelle, Disney has provided us with a great Christmas comedy. And it was definitely funny. Let's look back at the movie's 10 funniest quotes.
Disney+'s Noelle uses product placement for a recurring comedic gag. Here's why the film loses its holiday spirit by shamelessly promoting iPads.
When you think about the term, “family-friendly,” Billy Eichner’s name isn’t necessarily what you would picture. While the comedian is best known for his brash, confrontational type of comedy, earlier this year he joined the Disney family by voicing one of the most beloved characters in The Lion King, Timon. Now, with the launch of Disney +, Eichner once again switches genres in one of Disney+'s first original films, the Christmas movie, Noelle. Eichner plays Gabe, the cousin of Nick (Bill Hader) and Noelle Kringle (Anna Kendrick). After his uncle, Chris Kringle dies, Nick is being prepped …
There are many Christmas movies out there, but only a few of them have moved on to become family favorites. Among the ranks of Elf, Home Alone, and A Christmas Story, Disney+ hopes to add Noelle, one of their first original films, as a modern holiday classic for the whole family. Noelle stars Anna Kendrick, as the titular character who is the daughter of the recently deceased Santa Claus. When her brother, Nick (Bill Hader) learns he must succeed his father’s legacy, he panics and runs away to Phoenix, Arizona. Noelle, who was never considered as a replacement, sets …
It's hard to make a Christmas classic. Many have tried, few -- especially modern filmmakers -- have succeeded, and even films that generally have their hearts in the right place sometimes miss the mark. That last descriptor fits like a snug little Santa cap on Noelle, the new holiday comedy from writer/director Marc Lawrence (Miss Congeniality) and one of the first original features to launch on the nascent streaming service Disney+, alongside the other marquee movie title, Lady and the Tramp. With a knockout cast and a cute (if flimsy) feel-good message, Noelle is a sweet and well-intended …
Bill Hader has been having quite a year. Not only did he star in the summer box-office hit, IT: Chapter Two, but he also picked up an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for the show he co-created and wrote, Barry. Now, he is ushering in a new era of television with the premiere of Noelle, one of Disney + first original films set to premiere the day the new platform launches. Hader co-stars as Nick, brother to Noelle (Anna Kendrick), who has just realized that he has to take over the role held by …
Netflix and Disney+ are going head-to-head this Christmas with the release of Let It Snow and Noelle. So which one wins as the best new holiday movie?
There are very few people in the world that can say they have worked with great artists like Billy Wilder, Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis, Bob Fosse, and many others. But for Shirley MacLaine, who has had a successful career spanning over six decades, these are just some of the names she called friends over her lifetime. MacLaine has played many characters, but in Noelle, one of the first Disney + original films, she takes on a role unlike any other she’s done before- a nanny who happens to be an elf. Polly (MacLaine) has been Noelle’s nanny her whole …
Noelle, starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader, is one of the first original movies premiering on Disney+, but reviews have been decidedly mixed.
Who's in the Noelle cast, and where have you seen them before? Here's everything you need to know about the main lineup for the Disney+ launch film.
Thanks to its breezy humor and a chipper turn by Anna Kendrick, Noelle makes for a harmless (if disposable) addition to the Christmas comedy pile.
Noelle is a bouncy-yet-benign Christmas caper that, despite fun performances, falls short of instant greatness.
The first trailer for the Disney+ holiday comedy Noelle has arrived, courtesy of D23. We'll have our thoughts up shortly but wanted to bring it to your attention as quickly as possible. Originally filmed for a theatrical release way back when the two-hander starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader was coming together, Disney slated the Christmasy comedy for a November 2019 release. But that was around the same time that early plans for their high-profile streaming service Disney+ were coming together, so they opted to launch the film on that platform instead. Don't expect to see …
Ahead of the big D23 panel later today, Disney’s upcoming streaming service Disney+ is beginning to announce some of its initial programming via debut posters. We all know about The Mandalorian, the live-action Star Wars series, but you may be unaware that a live-action Lady and the Tramp, for instance, will be available to stream when Disney+ debuts. Or how about the holiday comedy Noelle, which stars Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader? This is only the beginning, and indeed Disney is already developing a bevy of additional content to be released directly on its streaming service over …
Santa's daughter (Anna Kendrick) has to take over the family business in the trailer and poster for the Disney Plus fantasy comedy, Noelle.
