Tangled – Introducing “Maximus” the horse

Meet Sampson At first glance the white horse in Tangled looks like the same white horse that Disney animation puts into every Princess film. He’s the comic relief, the sidekick, the trusty steed. It’s so cliche that Shrek spoofed the idea by putting Donkey in… Read More »Tangled – Introducing “Maximus” the horse

Disney World rejects Union Proposal, Deadlock Looms

A few days ago Disney Cast Members voted down the initial contract proposal from Disney. Now Disney has turned down the union’s counter proposal. Disney says its initial offer still stands and that unions have until November 8th to accept it. I don’t see that… Read More »Disney World rejects Union Proposal, Deadlock Looms

No Ordinary Family 1-5: No Ordinary Quake

I’m a California native, and if there is one cliché I hate about my state it is the earthquake. They show up way too frequently on TV. Way more frequently than they actually happen to us. But I didn’t mind at all on tonight’s episode of No Ordinary Family. And why is that? Because they weren’t real earthquakes.

In fact, this was pretty much a perfect episode of the show as far as I am concerned.

More Fun New Merchandise at Disney World

There is more to Walt Disney World merchandise than just t-shirts. I’ve spotted a bunch of new merchandise recently and, while there are a few real bright points, there are also unfortunately a couple misses.

First are there are a bunch of great new Mickey Mouse Ears in the parks. I really like these R2-D2 ones.

Dancing with the Stars: Week 6 Results

Last night, DWTS redefined rock (rock = shiny clothes) and tonight, one of our stars will be kicked off the tour bus. The leaderboard got rocked like a hurricane, and the night’s lowest scoring couples were Bristol/Mark, Kurt/Anna, and – gasp – Jennifer/Derek. Of those three, Kurt/Anna and Bristol/Mark were safe, leaving Jennifer and Derek in jeopardy. Tonight’s results are going to be interesting.

More surprises – Bristol and Mark were given the encore this week. Fine with me – I didn’t get a chance to appropriately admire Mark’s footwear last night. Purple shoes – not just for Grimace anymore.

Heart was the first musical guest of the evening, providing a rare moment of genuine rock in this Rock Week. For reals – someone threw a microphone stand and it rolled around while the professionals were trying to dance. I hope the Wilson sisters trashed the dressing rooms.

Another round of results – Rick/Cheryl were safe, and Kyle/Lacey were in jeopardy (nooooo).

Since it is Rock Week, it was only fitting to have a montage called Actual Rock Stars Discuss Ballroom Dancing. Yes, ballroom dancing is exactly like being a rock star. Little known fact – Bret Michaels, Dee Snider, Alice Cooper – all closet ballroom experts. Is this all a big tease for Season 12, possibly titled “Dancing with the Rock Stars”? Please say yes.
