Fans of classic content are on cloud nine about Disney+. The fabled vault has been flung open to make content available in a way that hasn't happened since the days of the old metal-cased DVD collections, and many movies which hadn't been seen for years were there on launch day. That said, there is a […]

There are buried gems beyond The Mandalorian and the MCU on Disney+. Looking back at some of the older material, all of which was probably handpicked to test the appetite of subscribers for older programs, is well worth the time. Among the gems are episodes of older Disney television shows. For instance, the 1966 episode […]

If you're a fan of Sons of Anarchy and its spinoff Mayans M.C., then you're very familiar with the name Kurt Sutter. Which means you're also familiar with the fact that the SoA creator and Mayans co-creator was fired from the FX series last week. About a week-and-a-half later, Sutter has quite a few thoughts […]

Floyd Norman has been a huge influence on the lives of Disney lovers, even if they don't know it. Born on June 22nd, 1935, he had an idyllic childhood in Santa Barbara, California. "I didn't know it at the time, but my experience as a child was probably a good deal different from many, many people," […]

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse first graced the silver screen on November 18th, 1928, in the animated short Steamboat Willie; but after 87 years, over 130 films, and and an Academy Award, "The Mouse" still looks as good as ever. In lieu of cake and candles, fashion designer/manufacturer/retailer Uniqlo is offering fans some very cool "birthday […]

Disney is going all out in celebrating Epcot for its upcoming 35th anniversary, having already announced some new retro-inspired merch. Today at the Disney Parks Blog, a "rare" film about Epcot has been released. The Dream Called EPCOT is a fantastic, 15-minute long video that gives a basic overview of EPCOT, Walt Disney's dream community. […]

Disney treated Big Hero 6 fans to an extended sneak preview of the continuing adventures of Hiro, Baymax, Fred, Go Go, Honey Lemon, and Wasabi from the new Disney XD animated series. And from what we can see in the following clip, sometimes something as simple as an espresso or cappuccino can require a little more […]

Animator, park attraction developer, and overall Disney Legend, X Atencio, passed away on September 10. The 98 year old lived a pretty amazing life, and gave millions of people joy and happiness through his work. X was a Disney fan at heart. Born September 4, 1919 in Walsenburg, Colorado, art seemed to be his calling. […]

If you're not aware, Walt Disney adored President Abraham Lincoln — so much so that there is an attraction dedicated to him in Disneyland. (And technically, he is in the Hall of Presidents in Disney World — which is still closed, by the way). The attraction in Disneyland opened July 18th, 1965, and was an […]

Disneyland is always surreal to me when I go. Disney World is my home park, but there's something truly amazing about the park Walt built. Enjoy these photos from my latest visit, and if you go this summer prepare for insane crowds!

On July 17th, 1955, Walt Disney finally opened the gates to the now-famous Disneyland Park. Guests flooded the park that day, and were greeted by a fairly large structure at the end of Main Street USA: Sleeping Beauty Castle. The castle was inspired by Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, which was originally home to the eccentric […]

Mickey Mouse just might be one of the most widely known characters in history. Created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928, the feisty little rodent would become a pop culture phenomenon in a matter of years. Heritage has a number of early pieces of Mickey Mouse animation art and cels up for auction, […]

Growing up I was always fascinated by WWII whenever we learned about it, but as an adult that turned more into an interest of the pop culture of that time period. Countries all over the world were churning out propaganda for or against the Nazi's, the American's, and everyone else. Walt Disney himself–who has always […]

The Haunted Mansion is easily one of the most classic rides in Disney Park history. Almost every Disney Park has their own version of the mansion with varying background stories. But today I'll be focusing on the one that started it all–The Haunted Mansion in New Orlean's Square in Disneyland. Walt Disney had Harper Goff […]

"The Persistence of Mickey is a collection of stories (including the titular one, beautifully illustrated by Giorgio Cavazzano) that span the ages, and some amazing authors. There's a lot to cover in this book, but I think the most important story to go over is the first one. The main trio (Mickey, Donald and Goofy) […]

Talking mice, daring princesses, and timeless stories. Walt Disney created a legacy, and left his mark on pop culture world wide. His earliest animated pieces are some of my personal favorites, from Oswald to Sleeping Beauty. His early Alice shorts are fascinating to watch, as he combined live action with animation, a feat that hadn't […]

There has been a lot of obituaries written this year and it was pretty obvious that we weren't quite done yet… but when the person who passes was 106, you almost want to say, "Well done." Tyrus Wong, the artist whose work was the inspiration for he Disney cartoon Bambi, passed away today in his […]
