Those who didn’t transition to digital had to find jobs at other studios or in other lines of business. But that’s not to say… Read More »Disney Animation Continues Life Drawing Class Tradition
Although Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill is the focus of the movie, I think one could argue that Zoe Saldana’s green alien Gamora is the movie’s moral center and real hero. She just needs the help of some other unlikely heroes to accomplish her galaxy saving… Read More »Guardians of the Galaxy: Zoe Saldana is Gamora, the film’s real Hero and the best thing to happen to Marvel and Disney
Like in Star Wars, it might be claimed that the real star of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy are its space ships. The Milano is to Peter Quill as the Millennium Falcon is to Han Solo. It’s his trusty steed and contains precious cargo.
It is versatile enough to operate in a dog fight, yet large enough to carry the team into danger. Director James Gunn wanted it to have a “muscle car” feel. I love its retro-vibe
Yeah, so that owes a lot to MTV’s Cribs. Here’s a little bit of trivia. Director James Gunn confirmed, via twitter, that the ship is called the Milano after Alyssa Milano, Peter Quill’s childhood crush. That’s just another awesome detail that makes this movie fantastic!
Of the Milano, Gunn had this to say on his Facebook page:

A few days before Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy stormed into theaters, Wired Magazine featured a video with quite a few Marvel Easter Eggs explained from “Iron Man” all the way to “Thor: The Dark World,” because those are the Marvel movies that have been out on DVD. I love all the Stan Lee cameos.
After Guardians of the Galaxy came out a few sources came through with a list of easter eggs hidden in that movie. Slashfilm has the most comprehensive list so far with 50. But if you don’t have that sort of time, head below the jump for a shorter video that explains many of them

A new TV spot features more of the lovable robot Baymax from Disney’s fall animated feature “Big Hero 6.” In the clip the films main protagonist, Hiro Hamada, and his robot friend Baymax show just how close they become in the movie. Perhaps too close:… Read More »Disney’s Big Hero 6 – New TV Spot and International Posters
Back in 2010, “Alice in Wonderland” was a fanciful wonder on screen and at the box office for Disney pulling in more than one billion dollars. In fact, that might be considered the last time Johnny Depp had a real box office blockbuster. Depp is returning to play the Mad Hatter in “Alice In Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass.” So let’s all hope for a return to 2010 when it comes to his star power at the box office.
The sequel will revisit Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories with an all-new new tale that travels back to Underland—and back in Time. “Alice In Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass” is produced by the returning team of Joe Roth, Jennifer Todd, Suzanne Todd, and Tim Burton. John G. Scotti is the executive producer; Linda Woolverton (“Maleficent,” “Alice In Wonderland,”) penned the screenplay.
The gang, as they say, has been brought back together for the cast:
“Alice In Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass” also boasts an extraordinary voice cast:
