The first real trailer for Disney’s Frozen indicates it is going to be a bit goofy.
There’s nothing wrong with goofy humor. Disney has never lost money by packing in the laughs. That said, I hope we’re also going to be served a great story with heart-felt moments. You can see hints of them above, but we’ll have to wait and see. Read More »New Trailer for Disney’s Frozen debuts

More notes on the film below the jump:
Walt Disney Animation Studios has just shared two animation cells from the never-before-seen Mickey Mouse short “Get A Horse!” There was some mystery about this black-and-white, hand-drawn short. We’re told it features Walt Disney himself as the voice of Mickey Mouse. but the providence of… Read More »“Get A Horse!” Animation Short Art Released
Walt Disney Animation Studios has added a talented trio of actors to the voice cast of “Frozen.” They also released a new ice-logo with a teaser one-sheet poster and a couple fresh images from the film.

It’s been a few weeks since Wreck-it Ralph hit the shelves and if you haven’t already added it to your collection, what are you waiting for? Walt Disney Animation Studios’ latest hit shows that it still has the ability to craft great stories and to provide the artistic ability required to tell them. That’s a unique combination you won’t find in too many other places in the animation universe.
Plus while Wreck-it Ralph is a love letter to the gaming industry, it’s also thoroughly understandable by someone with even just a passing interest in video games. This is the attention for detail that old Disney classics were famous for.
I won’t go into the plot details of the move as you can read that in my review here.
There are multiple ways to get your copy of Wreck-it Ralph: HD Digital and HD Digital 3D, 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack, 2-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, SD Digital and On-Demand. That’s a nice variety. But you’ll have to check the descriptions carefully to make sure you’re getting the bonus materials.

Paperman is pretty amazing and the Intermission thing is cool, but my favorite are always the alternate and deleted scenes. Definitely would have been a different movie had these been in there.
Although Wreck-it Ralph has his home in the ‘classic’ Fix-it Felix Jr. video game, most of the movie takes place in a more modern video game – Sugar Rush. The detail that went into creating this world is pretty impressive, and is the subject of… Read More »Wreck-it Ralph: Sugar Rush Featurette
This year Disney released two animated features (Three if you count Frankenweenie, but we won’t include stop-motion for the purpose of this article). One stars a princess who breaks from tradition and discovers that family is at the core of what’s important, the other features incredible worlds crafted from scratch, ground breaking computer animation, and a story that is full of heart. Normally, you’d say Disney Animation released the Princess film and Pixar the other, but this year the roles are reversed. With Brave, Pixar ventured into what was traditionally Disney’s territory, so it’s only fair that Disney Animation Studios returns the favor.
I’m happy to say that with Wreck-it Ralph, Walt Disney Animation Studios has returned to the top of the animation game, matching, if not surpassing, anything you would expect from its more successful partner up in Emeryville. It does this while remaining true to the core values of Disney animation, which is a focus on great story and characters who you really feel for.
In Wreck-it Ralph, Disney attempts to do for video games what Pixar’s Toy Story did for toys; Give us insight into the world that goes on when humans aren’t around. In this case the movie starts inside the classic 1982 arcade game Fix-it Felix Jr. The titular character is the game’s bad-guy; always destroying and then being defeated night game after game. After 30 years this begins to weigh on him so much that he visits a support group for video game bad-guys. But what really sets him off is when the other characters have a party celebrating the game’s 30 years of being plugged in and fail to invite him.
