Disney Universe allows players to suit-up for action as some 40-different Disney characters including characters from TRON and Pixar films! The concept of the game is pretty simple, as it’s basically a good versus evil platform-explorer game. Disney Universe’s interactive environments are computerized versions of some familiar worlds from Disney animated (and a few live
The term “instant classic” gets thrown around fairly recklessly, but in the case of Disney’s Prep & Landing, I think it safely describes the CG animated-special’s place among Christmas favorites. When our review copy showed up, I was so excited to see this special again that I watched the DVD all the way through (special
This movie is nothing compared to the original. If you’re the type who appreciates the art of hand-drawn animation, this movie is not for you. The story is dumbed-down, the animation is sub-par, and there are several portions that seem like cheap attempts to draw laughs from kids. That said, not everything is targeted at
Need help shopping for that Disney fan in your life? As people who love to buy things, we’re here to help! In recent years, we’ve switched almost exclusively to online shopping. Well, I have. Sarah still likes B&M stores for clothing, but I think it’s more difficult to purchase women’s clothing without trying it on.
Kinect Disneyland Adventures came out yesterday, November 15, 2011, and initial reviews are fairly positive. We received our copy yesterday, and although we had only a few minutes to play (darn you, packing!) after finally getting the game set-up, it seems solid. We will have a full review next week, but for now, here
Jaws 3. Jurassic Park 3. Rambo 3. Heck, even Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Usually, the third installment in a film trilogy is where the wheels fall off. Where movie studios that want to capitalize on the success of a great first film, and possibly a deserving sequel, get greedy and want to cash-in on
Sleeping Beauty was Disney’s first animated classic to be released as a Platinum Edition Blu-ray. Although subsequent releases escalated in status to “Diamond” edition (wait, that is better than platinum, right?), there is nothing subpar about this release. Some who follow Disney animated releases, myself included, were a bit surprised that Disney would choose this
Everyone knows Beauty and the Beast is an awesome movie. There’s no sense fixating on its excellence. It was released during the “Disney Renaissance” of animated films. It was the first animated film ever nominated for Best Picture. In short, if you take issue with the substantive quality of this film, there’s something wrong with
Since our first trip to Disneyland last August, I have (unexpectedly) fallen in love with the place. Upon returning from that trip, I began amassing a Disneyland coffee table book collection in the vein of my Walt Disney World coffee table book collection. Unfortunately, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, as my
One of my favorite things to collect is Disney-produced books that you would find for sale exclusively in the theme parks. I find them to be the perfect thing to lounge around and read outside on a lazy Saturday, something to peruse on the plane, or even something to set on the coffee table. Looking
