June 18, 2013 / Allison Reiber / No comments

Meet Sven and Olaf: a lovable yet unsuspecting duo in Disney's Frozen that gets into a rather sticky situation on an icy lake

Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) joins forces with a hardy mountain man (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his trusty reindeer, Sven, on an epic journey to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel). Elsa has trapped the kingdom in an eternal winter, and Anna and Kristoff — alongside the many friends they meet along the way — race to save the kingdom from its icy fate.

Disney’s ‘Infinity’ Is a Toy Box Like No Other

June 18, 2013 / Emily Price / No comments

When I was a child I used to love to play with all my toys at once. My Barbies went on dates with the Ninja Turtles, and the Ghostbusters were found riding around on the back of a My Little Pony more often than inside the Ecto-1.

Intermixing toys is something we all did at some point in our childhoods, and Disney is taking this practice to a whole new level with its Infinity collection due out later this year.

More than just a video game, Infinity is a platform that lends itself to endless possibilities.

During E3 last week, I had the opportunity to play with Infinity, and was generally impressed with what I saw. Read more...

Disney’s ‘Fantasia’ Game Will Rock Your World

June 14, 2013 / Emily Price / No comments

LOS ANGELES — Disney announced Fantasia: Music Evolved for the Xbox earlier this month, based on the studio's classic movie. In the game, you play as the sorcerer’s apprentice (the role portrayed by Mickey in the film) and control the music on the screen, similar to the way the ironic mouse did it in the film.

I had the opportunity to give the game a spin at Disney’s E3 booth this week, and walked away impressed.

Move to the Music

Admittedly, I’m a huge fan of most of the music and moving games out thereRock Band? I'll school you on every instrumentLet’s Dance? No problem. A game like Fantasia is right up my alley, particularly because it combines games, music and moving to create an interactive experience. Read more...

Harmonix, the makers of Rock Band and Dance Central, announced its plans to team with Disney to release a Kinect-based game based on the 1940s animated classic Fantasia

In the trailer released Tuesday morning, young people waved their hands in different directions, presumably influencing the music. Players will participate in different worlds picked by Fantasia's famous sorcerer Yen Sid, according to press release from Harmonix. Read more...

Star Wars Rebels! Animated TV Show to Hit Disney in 2014

May 20, 2013 / Chris Taylor / No comments

If you made it through the three Star Wars prequel movies, to the end of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, you'll recall the sense of excitement in the final few shots. We saw all the characters moved into position for Episode IV: A New Hope. We saw the first Death Star — and the Empire itself — under construction

Now what if there were an entire TV series set in that time frame?

Well, that's exactly what Lucasfilm and Disney announced Monday. The show will be called Star Wars Rebels, and will be headed up by Lucasfilm's favorite animation guy, Dave Filoni — a former fanboy who, as you can see in the video above, could not be more thrilled by this most geeky of opportunities.

Disney Princess Merida Gets Her Revenge

May 15, 2013 / Matt Petronzio / No comments

Disney has received a lot of flak this week, and it isn't for anything Star Wars-related. The media conglomerate gave Merida, the refreshingly tomboyish heroine of 2012 Pixar film Brave, a sexualized makeover as part of her induction into the elite society of Disney princesses.

As you can imagine, the cinched waist, abundance of sequins and rouged cheeks haven't exactly thrilled fans.

Turn Yourself Into a 3D-Printed Star Wars Stormtrooper

May 15, 2013 / PSFK / No comments

As part of its Star Wars Weekends event (running from May 17 to June 9), Disney is giving fans the chance to put their face on a 3D-printed Stormtrooper figurine

The D-Tech Me experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios uses a high resolution single-shot 3D face scanner created by Disney Research labs.

The 10-minute experience captures an image of the fan, which is later sent to a high-resolution 3D printer to create a figurine. The completed figurine will arrive in seven to eight weeks for domestic shipping.

Disney is also resurrecting a popular “cast yourself in Carbonite” option inspired by a scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Fans will receive either a Carbon-Freeze Me light-up band or a collector button depending on which option they choose. Read more...

If Snow White’s Seven Dwarfs Were Hobbits

May 13, 2013 / Neha Prakash / No comments

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to the Shire we go!

The seven dwarfs are known for being the lovable (yes, even Grumpy was lovable) pals of Snow White, helping her survive the wrath of the evil Queen's apple tricks. But artist Jordy Lakiere gave these seven dudes a more rough-around-the-edges vibe for his latest series

Lakiere took Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Doc, Happy, Grumpy and Dopey and created realistic renderings of them. Their new images reflect Hobbit-like features including wrinkles, crumpled clothing and unruly hair that Disney left out of the cartoon Read more...
