Disney Meets 'Gatsby' in 'The Great Catsby' Trailer

Emerald Catron — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:14:38 +0000

Why watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ when you could watch ‘The Great Catsby’??? We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer’s audio and clips from ‘The Aristocats’ to make ‘The Great Catsby.’ At least, we’re pretty sure it’s a mashup. To be quite honest, it’s been [...]

Ah, Disney – an essential component of childhood. However, beneath the saccharine surfaces of these fluffy romances lies some truly disturbing content. Check out our “honest” takes on what Disney movies were really showing us in our youth. ‘Beauty and the Beast’ ‘Cars’ ‘The Lion King’ ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ ’101 Dalmatians’ ‘The Princess [...]

10 Kids Who Just Found Out They're Going to Disney World

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:58:39 +0000

Disney World is the greatest place on earth. There's tons of awesome rides, even more awesome Disney characters walking around and enough sugary treats to seriously damage our health. But who cares! There's something about the magical park that makes adults act like kids and kids go wild with excitement, and the latter is particularly true.

Man Tries to Sneak Into Epcot Center by Impersonating Federal Agent

Jeremy Taylor — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:50:07 +0000

Seventy-four year old Emerito Pujol wanted to to explore Disney’s Epcot Center, but he didn’t want to pay the hefty $99.79 admission fee. So he devised what he surely thought was an innovative plan to get inside the theme park’s gates for free. At the turnstile, the Miami man flashed a badge declaring he was an “honorary member” [...]

10 Disney Princesses in Real Life

Emerald Catron — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 17:28:16 +0000

If Disney princesses were real, there would also be flying carpets and mermaids, which would be amazing. It almost seems possible - these look-alikes are so convincing. Here are 10 Disney princesses in real life, as in not at Disneyland. Yes, we realize that Briar Rose and Aurora are the same, but we had to give props for making bangs do that. Enjoy!

Disney Princesses Welcome Newbie Princess Leia in Song

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 06 Nov 2012 18:00:56 +0000

Even though the news that Disney and ‘Star Wars’ are joining forces is totally awesome, we do have to realize it’ll take a little getting used to on both ends to ensure a smooth transition.We already know Darth Vader has been adapting to Disney World just fine, but what about Princess Leia? She’s had to [...]

'Oz: The Great and Powerful' Poster: Which Witch Is Which?

Nick Romano — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:14:58 +0000

'Oz: The Great and Powerful' is one of the most anticipated movies of 2013. Where 'The Wizard of Oz' introduced the movie-loving world to Dorothy, the book turned Broadway musical 'Wicked' centered on the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, this new look at the Land of Oz gives us a look at the man we all know as the Wizard (whose real name apparently is Oscar Diggs). But that doesn't mean the other classic characters don't play a crucial part.

We've already got a look at the first official movie poster and the first teaser trailer, and now a new look at the latest re-imagining of one of the wickedest of witches has come forth in an artful movie poster form. But who exactly are we looking?

Disney Concept Art – See How Your Favorite Characters Almost Looked

Matthew Roulette — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:59:45 +0000

As we showed in our lost Disney songs list, no Disney film is set in stone from start to finish. Plots get written, songs get dropped and characters get redesigned. Looking at early Disney concept art is like finally reading that novel that your favorite movie was based on only to discover it's totally different. Still, there's a simple charm in seeing these characters immediately after being birthed, before they were fine tuned, polished and marketed through endless merchandise.

See What Would Happen If Disney Villains Won

Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 21:45:32 +0000

Artist and Mouse House fan Justin McTwisp thought it would be interesting to see what it would look like if the bad guys won at the end of a few Disney movies. We have to admit, that's a pretty banging coat Cruella DeVille winds up with (except for the whole puppy thing). And, truth be told, the fairies in 'Sleeping Beauty' *were* a little annoying. Check out our favorites below and check out the rest of McTwisp's art here.

'One Man Disney Movie' Is Pure Disney Magic

Wendy Nielsen — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:32:03 +0000

We've seen a lot of great stuff on YouTube before, but nothing quite as epic as Nick Pitera's brand-new viral video, titled 'One Man Disney Movie.'

In it, the soon-to-be Internet celebrity voices six different parts -- heroine, sidekick, hero, chorus, villain and another chorus -- as he tackles some of Disney's most memorable songs, from 'Beauty and the Beast's' 'Be Our Guest' to 'When You Wish Upon a Star' from 'Pinocchio.'

We could go on and on about how epic it is (there are even costume changes involved) but we'd rather stop typing and let you watch it for yourself. It is, after all, eight-plus minutes long.
