There once was a boy who decided he never wanted to act like a grown up.
Disney’s Live Action Films: The New Straight to DVD Sequels
Last week I discussed how Disney animation might just be on the brink of a new renaissance. And today I’m going to talk about the exact opposite of that.
Why? Because Maleficent.
Kill/Marry/Refurb: Epcot Pre-Shows
I love pre shows. Whether it’s the masterpiece that is the Muppets 3D pre-show or the spine chilling voice of faux Rod Serling in the Tower of Terror, they set the mood for the attraction and can be almost as fun as the ride itself.
Today we’re talking about the ones that belong to the bane of every small, Magic Kingdom-loving child’s existence, Epcot!
And yet, the older I get, the more I love it.
Let’s play!
Is Disney Starting a New Renaissance?
Okay, so a couple of things happened this week in the land of Disneydom.
First, we got a teaser for a teaser for Big Hero Six…
Yeah, that was a little strange. Or just Disney taking advantage of an obsessed Disney culture where fans get all atwitter when a new trailer comes out. But I don’t do that at all…
Re-Viewing Fantasia: Artistic Innovation and Walt’s Enormous Balls
Hey, did you guys know I had a blog?
I should probably write on that again.
Also I think I was doing some sort of series where I “re-view” all of the Disney animated films…?
Yeah. Sorry. Been away. I can only blame rabid panthers who destroyed my typing fingers.

Whoops. Had a relapse. Back to the blogosphere!
So today we’re talking about Walt’s pet project Fantasia.
Kill Marry Refurb: Muppets
There’s a new Muppets movie coming out this weekend.

The Ballad of Adele DaZeem: a Disney Oscar Summation in Tweets
Last night the world was given a new celebrity icon: Adele DaZeem.
It all started with a hostage situation. Hordes of little girls in tiaras begging their parents to let them stay up to watch Elsa sing. Disnerds everywhere tolerating odious acceptance speeches in a somewhat masturbatory self-congratulation ceremony for people who play pretend. A nation waiting with baited breath to hear the ice queen sing.
Top Five Disney YouTube Videos
“Fandom is the cradle of the next generation of creative people.” – Steven Moffat, showrunner of Doctor Who.
In honor of this sentiment, I have compiled a list of my favorite Disney-related YouTube videos, because, damn, these people are creative. Read More…
Kill Marry Refurb: Live Musicals
It’s time for another rendition of This Happy Place and Mouse on the Mind’s Kill! Marry! Refurb!
Because talking about what attractions should stay and which should go is almost as good as actually having a say! Right? RIGHT!?
I should really get a hobby.
But until I do…
Reddit AMA with Disney’s Frozen Creators Makes Me Love Them Even More
Recently, and by recently I mean earlier today, the main creators of Frozen – directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, producer Peter del Vecho, and song writers Bobby Lopez and Kristen Anderson Lopez – sat down with the users of Reddit to answer fans’ questions. I love it when celebrities/artists do these “Ask Me Anythings.” It’s a really wonderful way to give something directly to the fans…and feed into their budding psychosis.
