Anna Kendrick. Anna Kendrick — well, her voice — inhabits a blonde cheerleader in a pink track suit in ParaNorman, the latest stop-motion animated delight from Oregon’s LAIKA studio (which gave us Coraline). Kendrick’s character, Courtney, is the perpetually annoyed older sister of the titular Norman, a kid who has the ability to see and talk to the dead — which makes him an outcast even in his witch-obsessed Salem-esque hometown.

Marvel’s Ant-Man. The best thing about Marvel’s Ant-Man is that despite a computer-effects team larger than the population of Scandinavia, it plays like a charmingly tacky jet-suit robot picture for kids, the kind Japan used to churn out every week for a couple of thousand yen.

Ariana Grande. Ariana Grande has been teasing “7 Rings” since the track name was a license plate in the “thank u, next” video. Now the song has album art, a release date, and a charmingly #richpeopleproblems backstory. According to Ari, the song is about the time Grande got drunk at Tiffany’s and bought her and her six besties matching engagement rings. After a bad day in New York, Ari’s buds took her to Truman Capote’s favorite jeweler.
