Linda Ge writes for Bleeding Cool. It was a bummer when Mark Romanek left Disney's upcoming live action remake/reboot/re-imagining of the classic fairy tale Cinderella, but it looks like the studio won't have to downgrade to keep the production on its projected 2014 release schedule.

Escape from Tomorrow sounds interesting: Much of the Escape From Tomorrow was shot inside Florida's Walt Disney World without approval or even, I would guess, the park's knowledge This doesn't mean the film is shaky, handicam stuff, shot off the cuff as though tourist footage – it looks to be a well mounted picture with[...]

Jedi Academy plot rumors have surfaced in connection with Star Wars Episode VII, the upcoming film announced by Disney in October.

Back in October we posted some art from wintery adventure Frozen that first appeared at Disney's D23 convention, and no one seemed to have a problem with it.
