Disney changes look of iconic character as Halloween planning for theme parks begins
In a new post about the upcoming Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, some eagle-eyed fans noticed a change to Jack Skellington from the popular animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Previously, Jack had donned a much eerier mask, boasting a bulbous head and gigantic eyes, that cut off just above the park performer's mouth - a feature which many fans said let the look down.
But now, Disney has decided to give the costume a much-needed update.
This year's overhaul means the new look is almost identical to the iconic movie version of the character.
The new mask has a much smaller surface area that fully engulfs the wearer's face to continue the illusion.
Jack's mouth is also now elongated across his face in a style that mirrors the film.
And dozens of die-hard Disney fans ran to the comments to heap praise on the changes.
'Thank you for changing that horrific mask,' someone wrote.
'Finally, the Jack we deserve,' another added.
'Screaming, crying, throwing up!!!!!! The mask!!!!
'Are you kidding me?!?!? I'm in love!!!!' one person enthusiastically shared.
'Oh my God, THERE he is. Jack, we've been waiting for you for so long!!!!!' someone said.
'Now he is really looking like himself. So excited for Disney's Halloween season,' another user shared.
'Love the upgrade, Jack!,' someone wrote, while another said: 'Love the new look, Jack.'
Another said: 'Finally, Jack actually looks like Jack.'
Another eagle-eyed fan also pointed out that Sally - from the same animated classic - had been given an update as well.
'While Jack looks SO much better, I haven't seen a single comment about Sally's new makeup! Go off, cosmetology,' they wrote.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs on select nights from August 15 through Halloween night.
It involves special trick-or-treating trails, festive snacks, and live entertainment.
The magical park offers exclusive character greetings with Jack and Sally from the beloved film.

Selma Blair shares stunning holiday snaps after recent breakthrough in MS battle: 'I am so grateful for this time to breathe'
Selma Blair shared a slew of stunning holiday snaps on Thursday amid her battle with multiple sclerosis. The Legally Blonde actress, 53, announced earlier this year that she had gone into remission from the debilitating illness after receiving a groundbreaking new treatment. MS is a debilitating autoimmune condition that affects the brain and spinal cord and leaves people with mobility issues, memory loss and fatigue. There is no cure, but some treatments have been shown to slow progression and ease symptoms, including stem cell transplants, which doctors and scientists describe as the new frontier of regenerative medicine. Selma looked happier than ever in the holiday snaps with her son Arthur, 14, and could be seen lounging with a book and posing by the poolside. The star also showed off her incredible figure and bikini collection as she made the most of relaxing on her tropical getaway. Alluding to her battle with the illness, which Selma was diagnosed with in 2018, she wrote: 'This is the dream I love. Not the hard things or the hurt things, the tantrums and the tears, nor the searching. But that is the stuff that builds and tests. 'Then there is a pause. In every storm. And we can enjoy. And I am so grateful for this time to breathe. With Arthur and friends. 'With love, I wish us all a bit of breathing and smiling. Kisses and soar on.' The post went down a storm with the Hollywood icon's celebrity friends and fans alike. Nicole Scherzinger wrote: 'You are stunning. Thankyou for your light and inspiration.' Fans echoed the sentiments of the former Pussycat Doll in their replies, writing: 'Just watched The Sweetest Thing again the other night. It's inconceivable to me that both you and Christina have the same condition. 'You are two of my most favourite actresses and your journey has been so amazing to watch.'; 'You are my hero, not letting MS get in the way! Makes me try hard to not let it get in my way.' About six years ago, Blair underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a procedure that extracts and then reinfuses stems cells - undifferentiated cells with the ability to develop into various specialized cell types - into a person's body About six years ago, Blair underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a procedure that extracts and then reinfuses stem cells - undifferentiated cells with the ability to develop into various specialized cell types - into a person's body. With HSCT, patients specifically receive hematopoietic stem cells, which are immature cells that can develop into all types of blood cells, including white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets - which help blood clot. They are derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. Speaking to experts have said the results of these procedures can go as far as to 'see patients go from a wheelchair to walking.' So far, this groundbreaking field of medicine has made waves in the fields of cancers, autoimmune diseases and neurological disorders. Now, doctors are using them to repair years-worth of brain damage, even restoring some paralysed patients' ability to walk by regrowing tissue. Taken from the patients themselves, the cells are purified and then implanted into an area of their body where cells have died, such as brain tissue, to regrow those types of cells.

NFL WAG reveals why partners 'go into meltdown' when training camp begins
With NFL training camps officially underway, it's a time of the year the wives and girlfriends of players go weeks without seeing their partners and husbands. It's all part of an effort to build camaraderie among teammates old and new as they all get their bodies in shape for a grueling season. Rochelle Searight, the newlywed wife of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, opened up about how tough the experience is on WAGs in the summer each season. 'Why do all the wives and girlfriends [of NFL players] go into a frenzy when their men report for training camp? Why is everybody online complaining? Let me give y'all some of these details on training camp and why everybody's in a panic,' Searight said in a TikTok video posted on Wednesday. 'This is my husband's sixth year in the NFL. Every single season has looked different in training camp. But one thing that will never change is the men are in camp for real. 'They have to report to work and they have to sleep in their hotel, they have a curfew, and if they leave, they get a huge fine. It's crazy. 'Training camp does last for multiple weeks and the women freak out because — so in my situation, I'm a mother. 'Now he has to abruptly leave, and [I'm] taking care of my rambunctious four-year-old by myself, who has never slept, and he is off the walls.' Searight mentioned how everyone is coming from a different situation - with some WAGs dealing with long-distance or a lack of job security. 'For some other people's situations, they're not based in the same city that the team plays… and they stay in the Bay just during the season,' Searight continued, using the 49ers as an example. 'The wives and girlfriends who are back home now have to get left and [their significant other] have to go report to work, go to camp. I get to see my husband every few days, they don't get to see their man at all for like weeks.' 'Another thing, minicamp is so intense. Some of the men are not guaranteed a spot yet, they are fighting for their spot on the team. So if they don't make this team and they end up on a different team, the family has to pack up and move. It's just a lot. 'Abrupt training camp change is no joke, so that's why you'll see all of the girlies going crazy online and then social media is a fun way to just distract from that time. 'So no, our men aren't our whole personality people. It just gives us a fun thing to look forward to. It's just content.' Searight says, 'Abrupt training camp change is no joke, so that's why you'll see all of the girlies going crazy online' (pictured: Christian McCaffrey (L) and his wife Olivia Culpo (R)) Searight is an influencer and content creator who works in the beauty industry. She boasts 257,000 followers on TikTok. She's been coupled up with Aiyuk since at least November of 2018 - while he was playing college football at Arizona State. Aiyuk and Searight have a son, Braylon, who was born in September of 2020 - per her Instagram. The wideout and the 49ers agreed to terms on a four-year $120million extension last season. It includes $76million in guarantees. San Francisco opens its 2025 campaign against the rival Seattle Seahawks on the road on September 7.

Hit comedy with perfect Rotten Tomatoes score brutally AXED after four seasons
A HIT comedy show will not be returning to our TVs, despite being a fan favorite. Resident Alien, starring Alan Tudyk airs on the USA Network and still has three episodes left to air. 4 4 But despite once saving it from getting the axe at its previous home on SYFY, the USA Network decided not air Resident Alien past its fourth season. It will air the comedy's final three episodes in the coming weeks. Resident Alien's creator and showrunner Chris Sheridan already knew the fourth season was "likely" to be its last. 'Creatively, that was exciting because I knew we could spend the time wrapping up some storylines and driving toward an ending," he told told TV Insider. "I'm so proud of how good Season 4 is and especially proud that we were able to finish as strongly as we did, with a finale that is probably my favorite episode of the series.' Chris also teased the show will have 'a very satisfying ending while also leaving the door cracked open for any future this world may have. I can't wait for everyone to see it." Resident Alien first came out in 2021, and focuses on the character Harry Vanderspeigle, played by film star Alan Tudyk. Medical examiner Harry is in fact an undercover alien sent to Earth to kill all humans. As the three seasons progressed, Harry lost faith in his mission as he started to bond with his host family in Colorado. Fans loved the quirky plot line, and were left very concerned when Syfy announced last year that it was unlikely to renew Resident Alien. Resident Alien Season 4 Official Trailer USA Network, which is owned by NBCUniversal picked up the show from Syfy for its fourth season, but it had a "significant budget reduction," including chopping the season length down from 12 episodes to eight. Resident Alien is a cult-hit and an impressive 98 percent rating on aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes. Fans of the show reacted to its cancellation on X, formerly Twitter. "Resident Alien was one of the funniest shows and this season the show has gotten even better. So b*****d more people didn't give it a look. Alan Tudyk is a delight and the rest of the cast were great," wrote one fan. Another added: "Resident Alien has a strong cult following. They should move it over to Peacock." And a third posted: "With the TV market increasingly saturated with cheap reality shows, procedurals, and sequel shows, it is so hard to find a truly unique but terrific show. That's why I'm very sad to see Resident Alien is canceled. Alan Tudyk is amazing in it and it is wildly amusing." 4 4
