Well, we’re nearing the awards season which means multiple awards ceremony nominations will be announced soon. One set of nominations that have already been announced is the Annies, the “Oscar for animated films”. I’ve listed the four categories that I’m most interested in below, but if you want a list of all the nominations, then click here.
When I had first heard that Disney was working on the movie that would become Zootopia, I was incredibly excited! It was going to feature anthropomorphic animals (which I love) and be part of the crime/whodunnit genre (which I also love)! When the movie was released, it received mass critical praise, made over a billion dollars in the worldwide box office, and was just adored by everyone! What did I think of the film? Let’s see!
Oh, there will be SPOILERS!
We finally got the teaser trailer for Disney’s upcoming film, Moana, and it’s looking amazing! The animation is gorgeous, the characters (especially the pig) look awesome, and it looks like a great deal of fun! I wish we saw more characters though, but this was a joy to see after the tragedy that happened in my hometown this morning!
What do you think of the teaser trailer? Are you excited for the movie?
The sad news today is that actor Alan Young has passed away at the age of 96! Alan Young (1919-2016) was an actor in films and TV shows with many knowing him from his role on the sitcom, Mr. Ed.
But, Disney fans knew him best as the voice of the stingy Scottish Scrooge McDuck in various films/TV shows from the 1980s to the present.
He also was the voice of Mr. Flaversham in The Great Mouse Detective.
Mr. Young, you shall be missed!
The latest film in the Disney Canon, Zootopia, has broken the record of getting the highest-grossing opening weekend of any film in the Disney Canon: a whopping $73 million! Not to mention, that it has nigh positive reviews all around the board!
Have you seen the film? What did you think of it? Is it a new classic? Let me know in the comments below!
We finally have a full-length, plot-based trailer for Disney’s upcoming film, Zootopia! And I, for one am just loving it! Every new thing I see of this movie, I get more and more excited for! The only thing I wasn’t too fond of was the naturalist club joke in the film as I know I won’t be able to watch this film with certain people who would find that inappropriate. What do you think of this trailer?
Well, it’s that time again! As the year comes to a close, it’s time to take a look at the theatrical animated films that are due for release next year. Once again, these are the animated films that have release dates (USA release dates) only! Enjoy!
Thoughts?
Well, it’s that time of year: the time when Disney fans have their own personal convention, the D23, every two years. We’ve got a whole bunch of news/info regarding Disney’s upcoming animated films as well as the upcoming Pixar films, so I’ll do my best to summarize them below. Let’s begin!
Voice actress Susan Sheridan has passed away at the age of 68. The actress (1947-2015) lent her voice to many animated shows including Moomin, Noddy’s Toyland Adventures, Jimbo and the Jet-Set, and Preston Pig. But, the British actress’s most famous role, at least to Disney fans, was that of Princess Eilonwy in Disney’s flop, The Black Cauldron.
Here’s to remembering the woman who provided the voice to my favorite Disney princess!
