Beauty And The Beast - In Theatres!

Disneynature Direct To DVD

I like to think I know a thing or two about flamingos, mostly because I stayed at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. But seriously folks...

I really enjoy the nature film that Disney has been putting out under the Disneynature banner. It's nice when the company does something in line with their heritage and the Disneynature films are a nice throwback to the old True-Life Adventure films that Walt Disney believed so much in. The new films aren't near as good as the old ones. The new Disneynature films could benefit from being a lot more playful and a little less like a museum IMAX film. Either way, both Earth and Oceans were way more entertaining that other junk I've recently plopped down $8.50 to see.

So, while checking out Walt Disney Home Entertainment's website the other day I was pretty excited to see that they've got a new Disneynature title set for release on DVD the same day as Oceans DVD premiere. On October 19 The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos should pop up on DVD shelves:



This film, while new to American audiences, came out in France in October of 2008 and then the following year in the UK. I'm excited to get my hands on a copy.

Disneynature's next big screen epic, African Cats, is scheduled to hit theatres on Earth Day next year.

Disney Inspired Ball of String

What's this giant ball of string, found at the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in Ocean City, MD, have to do with the world of Disney?



Well, not much...but I thought the story behind this big ol' ball had an interesting twist to it...

Dream On Silly Dreamer on TV

Did you know there was something called The Documentary Channel? Neither did I! Apparently it's a channel showing nothing but documentaries (and infomercials) and it can be found on Channel 263 on DirecTV or Ch. 197 via Dish Network. Anywho, this Wednesday April 7 they are showing the Disney Animation Studio doc Dream On Silly Dreamer about the end of the hand-drawn unit of Walt Disney Feature Animation. This film was done years ago, and obviously with The Princess and the Frog in theatres last Christmas, we know this story has a happy ending. But still, this movie got very limited release and it's not even available on Netflix, so I'm pretty interested in seeing it! Set your TiVo's for Wednesday April 7 at 1:40pm.
