Where Wall•E fans were prompted to feel defensive of their love of the personality-filled robot and his Apple-like companion, fans of Up are in good company. Since its release on May 26, Up has received almost exclusively positive reviews. RottenTomatoes (RT) lists only a few rotten reviews on their site, so Up achieves a 98% [...]
Another week, another linkspam. Some interesting things came up this week. I’m assuming the Hannah Montana movie just came out because I know I got inundated by Miley Cyrus news. Anyway, here’s what’s happened this week that’s interesting. Layoffs at Disney Parks Disney Eliminates About 1,900 Jobs at Its Domestic Theme Parks Disney Says 1,900 [...]
With the push to “go green” and minimize our impact on the environment, it’s no surprise that Disney has gotten on board with the “green” movement. Disney recently announced that the company plans to reduce electricity use as well as solid waste going to landfils down to their 2006 levels by 2013. According to Disney’s 2008 [...]
Here’s another linkspam! I’d have more interesting things to write about but all of my free time is going to the Cleveland International Film Festival until next week. (I would claim to be sad about this but I am so not! Come check it out if you’re in the area!) Hong Kong Disneyland Expansion Hong [...]
In lieu of a real post, and because not all of these topics would merit rewriting, I thought I might try to do a linkspam once a week or so! So, here’s what’s been going on with Disney this week: Disney Going Green Wall-E Producer Disney Seeks to Cut Waste Disney World Goes Green Disney [...]
It’s been about two months since Disney started teasing the public with its “Are You 23?” campaign, and today is finally the day. There has been a lot of speculation as to what the campaign could mean. Is it a club? Is it a special release of 23 classic Disney movies on Blu-ray? Perhaps it’s [...]
We’re under new management… sort of. Since our burst of activity early in 2008, Elaine and I both got very busy. The blog fell by the wayside, and even an attempt at getting a forum up and running was done more as a side-project than anything either of us had done in a very serious [...]
One of the trailers (which really shouldn’t be called trailers anymore, since they rarely trail the film) before Wall-E was one for a new Disney movie: Bolt. At first, I was skeptical, because first of all, John Travolta and Miley Cyrus. That doesn’t really spell to be a fantastic movie. Then, a super dog? Really? [...]
On Sunday, June 15, the 62nd Annual Tony Awards came off at Radio City Music Hall. Various awards were doled out to the deserving few, and among those who went unrewarded was Disney’s newest baby, The Little Mermaid. The award for best original score (music and/or lyrics) written for the theater went to Lin-Manuel Miranda, [...]
It’s not surprising that the experiences from working at Disneyland are pretty dichotomous in nature – either you love it or hate it. A face character working as Jack Sparrow at Disneyland pretty much reveals what went on behind the scenes, from how he got hired to how he got terminated. It’s a very interesting [...]
