Disney Art in Paris

Peter Goddard of the Toronto Star tells us about Disney art on display in Paris and will later be displayed in Montreal. The people most enthralled around me at the exhibition were not the kids, but their parents and grandparents — the original Mouseketeers.

A Mickey Mouse Revue

I never made it to Walt Disney World until 1997. That means I missed a number of attractions that had closed by then. One such attraction I really regret not seeing is the “Mickey Mouse Revue” in the Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland. Now, thanks to The… Read More »A Mickey Mouse Revue

Disney Afternoon Soundtrack bling

This just in: Woody Allen is Funny.

If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and head on over the the New Yorker website. Woody Allen has written a hillarious version of the Ovitz compensation trial. Here’s a quick excerpt: Counsel: Is it true Goofy had a drug problem? Mickey Mouse: He was addicted to Percodan. C: How long had… Read More »This just in: Woody Allen is Funny.

Illuminating Fool

What is to become of Disney Animation? Is the brand already too watered down by the direct to video sequals and television quality animation passed off as feature animation?
