Saturday’s panel, “Building Worlds: Inside The Walt Disney Vault,” at Disney’s D23 Expo has already been the source of some exciting and interesting upcoming films from the Mouse House, including Pixar’s Brave, John Carter, and of course, The Avengers. The last film I want to touch upon is the upcoming animation project from director Tim Burton. Back in 1984, before Burton’s first feature film (Pee Wee’s Big Adventure!), he made a short family film, titled Frankenweenie, which was a parody/homage to the original Frankenstein film. Given that this was a fun, personal project stemming from the more family friendly mind of Tim Burton, he has now been given the chance to remake Frankenweenie as a full-length, stop-animated film and he has brought along plenty of Burton regulars to help out. Read on to learn more about the next Burton-style family film. Continue reading ‘D23 Expo: Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie’

Continuing the coverage of what was a pretty excitement-packed Saturday morning at Disney’s D23 Expo, Director Andrew Stanton and the cast of John Carter made an appearance as well. This took place at the D23 Arena panel known as, “Building Worlds: Inside The Walt Disney Vault,” which was a place for all the upcoming Disney projects to be shown off or announced to the crowd. Just as audiences were treated to sneak peeks at films such as The Muppets, The Avengers, and Pixar’s Brave, everyone was able to see a behind the scenes look at the upcoming film adaptation of the famed pulp novel hero. Read on to find out more about the heroics of Tim Riggins and the height requirements for Willem Dafoe in John Carter. Continue reading ‘D23 Expo: John Carter’

Mahna Mahna…excuse me, Saturday at Disney’s D23 Expo was a big day indeed. I have already covered The Avengers presentation, which was a way for plenty of people to geek out. I have also written about Pixar, which has big, ambitious plans for their future as well. This whole film presentation was a part of the D23 Arena panel, titled “Building Worlds: Inside the Walt Disney Studios,” which was a way for Disney to bring out the various cast and crew members involved in all of their upcoming films and show new footage. Among those was a sneak peak at the upcoming Muppets film, due for release this Thanksgiving. Given my belief that Muppets can bring out the joy in practically anyone, I was plenty happy to learn even more about this film. Read on to find out when it will be time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight. Continue reading ‘D23 Expo: The Muppets Take The Stage’

Saturday at Disney’s D23 Expo was a big day indeed, as I have already written about The Avengers, which is an event within itself. This whole film presentation was a part of the D23 Arena panel, titled “Building Worlds: Inside the Walt Disney Studios,” which was a way for Disney to bring out the various cast and crew members involved in all of their upcoming films and show new footage. Among those was a large look at what is next for Pixar Animation Studios. Pixar Chief John Lasseter was on hand during this portion to present all of the upcoming Pixar projects, with appearances by those involved as well as a special sneak peak at some of these upcoming titles. Hearing not only about what is the next Pixar film, but getting a look at projects up to 3 years away in advance was certainly something special. Read on to learn more about what is in the future for the films of Pixar. Continue reading ‘D23 Expo: Pixar’s Brave And Other Announcements’

Saturday at Disney’s D23 Expo was a big day, mainly due to the massive film presentation in the Anaheim Convention Center Arena. While Notable films including The Avengers, John Carter, and Pixar’s Brave made their mark, a few other films were on hand as well, including an upcoming Disney animated feature called Wreck-It Ralph. I would have to honestly say that besides The Avengers and Brave, I believe Wreck-It Ralph was the film I was most impressed with, having heard about it for the first time. It has a clever premise, some great talent involved, and looks to be a lot fun. Aside from a few films such as Tangled and Bolt, I don’t believe the CG animated Disney films without the Pixar name attached have been entirely successful in the past. Hopefully Wreck-It Ralph will be on the success list. Read on to find out more about the flick. Continue reading ‘D23 Expo: Wreck-It Ralph’

While there are plenty of other things to eventually write about concerning Disney’s D23 Expo, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center this past weekend, one of the most anticipated moments was easily the debut of basically anything related to the upcoming Avengers film. As many keeping track of this sort of news know, Disney skipped out on having a big show at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, with intentions to save their big presentations for the D23 Expo. As Disney currently owns Marvel, this meant holding back The Avengers as well. Well the time has now come, and The Avengers did make an appearance at the Expo. Nearly the entire cast was present on the arena stage, and they came with an entire scene from the film, as well as a sizzle real of new footage. It was a good place to see Disney and Marvel fans geek out. Continue reading ‘D23 Expo: Avengers Assemble And Bring New Footage’
