The lines at Disney Land can be pretty brutal, especially during school holidays. But it turns out if you have enough cash you can assure your child will jump right on Splash Mountain, no matter what time of the year. According to the New York Post, wealthy Manhattanites are hiring handicapped tour guides when they [...]

'Tron 3′ Bringing Back Garrett Hedlund to Lead the Charge

Nick Romano — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:00:12 +0000

It wasn't too long ago that work on a 'Tron 3,' the sequel to 2010's Disney action flick 'Tron: Legacy,' was announced with 'Eragon' writer Jesse Wigutow whipping up a script treatment. Considering how poor the Joseph Kosinski-directed movie performed, it wasn't that big of a surprise that the studio decided to swap out their writing team, but there is one person from 'Legacy' Disney will definitely be sticking with, and that's Garrett Hedlund, aka Sam Flynn himself.

If Disney princesses were real, there would also be flying carpets and mermaids, which would be amazing. It almost seems possible - these look-alikes are so convincing. Here are 10 Disney princesses in real life, as in not at Disneyland. Yes, we realize that Briar Rose and Aurora are the same, but we had to give props for making bangs do that. Enjoy!

Ever since news broke that Disney purchased Lucasfilm, AKA the 'Star Wars' franchise, tons of Disney-meets-Star-Wars art has hit the net. It's not only really cool, the art also helps us to picture what it'll be like when the sci-fi franchise is immersed in cartoon land.

It was announced yesterday that Disney purchased Lucasfilm and its subsidiaries for $4 billion, with plans to release the first movie ('Star Wars: Episode 7') in a new planned 'Star Wars' trilogy in 2015.

According to author Dale Pollock, who wrote a biography on filmmaker George Lucas, the upcoming 'Star Wars' trilogy from Disney will be the most exciting 'Star Wars' films yet.

The Best Meme Reactions to Disney's Lucasfilm Acquisition

Emerald Catron — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:18:47 +0000

In case you missed it -- Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion dollars. They also own Marvel now too. To put it in other words, all that stuff you liked as a kid to prove you're not a girl is now owned by the people who made 'Beauty and the Beast.' (On the bright side, the next 'Kingdom Hearts' game could be totally sick.) Of course, not everybody is looking on the bright side. Some of them are making memes. Here are our favorites.

The Best Disney / Star Wars Mash-Up Art

TheFW Staff — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:29:12 +0000

The geekosphere was rocked today with the announcement that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm, the home of 'Star Wars,' for $4 billion. If that wasn't enough to inspire "Goofy shot first" jokes, Disney also announced plans to release a new 'Star Wars' movie in 2015 which will not be written or directed by George Lucas. (The creator fans love to hate will stay on in a creative consultant capacity.)

But fans of both "a galaxy far, far away" and The Mouse House have been creating awesome mash-up artwork as long as the internet (or at least DeviantArt) has been around.

'Iron Man 3′ Plot Synopsis Revealed

Nick Romano — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:38:23 +0000

The folks behind 'Iron Man 3' are killing us with all the teases for the upcoming 'Iron Man 3' trailer, which is said to be released this month once they get enough followers on their official Facebook Page. But while we're waiting for the number to go up (by the way, last time we checked, the percent was only at 33% and it needs to be 100%), how about a read at the plot synopsis?

Disney Concept Art – See How Your Favorite Characters Almost Looked

Matthew Roulette — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 13:59:45 +0000

As we showed in our lost Disney songs list, no Disney film is set in stone from start to finish. Plots get written, songs get dropped and characters get redesigned. Looking at early Disney concept art is like finally reading that novel that your favorite movie was based on only to discover it's totally different. Still, there's a simple charm in seeing these characters immediately after being birthed, before they were fine tuned, polished and marketed through endless merchandise.

See What Would Happen If Disney Villains Won

Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 21:45:32 +0000

Artist and Mouse House fan Justin McTwisp thought it would be interesting to see what it would look like if the bad guys won at the end of a few Disney movies. We have to admit, that's a pretty banging coat Cruella DeVille winds up with (except for the whole puppy thing). And, truth be told, the fairies in 'Sleeping Beauty' *were* a little annoying. Check out our favorites below and check out the rest of McTwisp's art here.

10 Exaggerated Signs Disney Parks Are Getting Way Too Expensive

Danny Gallagher — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:00:12 +0000

The Disney theme parks have always been expensive places, designed to suck as much money out of exasperated parents’ wallets as possible. Whoever called it “The Happiest Place on Earth” must have been referring to the people who own Disney stock. At least we got our revenge with ‘John Carter.’

Disney, however, may have gotten the last laugh.
