Congratulations to the team at Walt Disney Animation Studios down in Burbank. Disney’s “Big Hero 6” eclipsed Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” at the weekend box office. The estimated take for Big Hero 6 is $56.2 million dollars, a 15% increase over 2012’s fall release “Wreck-It Ralph,”… Read More »It was a super weekend for Big Hero 6
This Christmas the Broadway musical, “Into the Woods” is coming to the big screen. It will tell the story of what happens to our fairy tale characters with a modern twist, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests.
With the premiere creeping ever closer, Disney has released new character poster that have just a little extra magic. These poster really do seem to pop with just the slightest addition of motion. Really cool way to add an extra layer to a static medium, even if it is just some floating fog in the background.
There’s also a new trailer released for the film.
I like that it sets up the story a little better and you actually get to hear some singing. I’ve always found “Into the Woods” to be among Sondheim’s funniest musicals. And you do get a taste of the humor in this trailer, but it is mostly dark and serious, and of course, the musical is that too.
There are eight more of the magic posters below the jump:
The teaser trailer for Marvel’s Avengers Age of Ultron was originally going to debut with the next episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD on ABC. But someone leaked the international version of the trailer (blame Hyrda) and now Marvel has officially released the first trailer for the next Avengers film a few days early.
Without any further ado (other than a word about spoilers, there are some):
Some initial reaction: that is one eerie version of “I’ve got no strings” from Pinocchio. I like that we’re seeing lots of international settings, the Avengers are not restricted to NYC for their battles. And, as we saw from the SDCC preview art, there’s the broken shield of Captain America.
This does not surprise me. Joss Whedon is known for making sure the audience feels the stakes are very real for his characters. Mortal peril must be real.
All-in-all, a great trailer. There is loads of stuff left to be explained, but what we see is pretty dramatic.

What a great tagline for the new movie “Tomorrowland.” Loosely inspired by Walt Disney’s constant search for a future world where anything is possible, the new movie from Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof takes audiences on a wild thrill ride of non-stop adventure through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.
This is the kind of movie that would have really inspired the young me. I can’t wait to bring my son to it.
“Tomorrowland” is a riveting mystery adventure starring Academy Award winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.
