‘Zootopia’ Teaser Debuts!

I’m super excited!!!! The teaser trailer for the upcoming 2016 animated Disney film, Zootopia, has been released!

What do you all think of it? I’m just so excited to finally see something about this movie. I’m more excited about this than I am about Moana! I’ve always enjoyed anthropomorphic animals and this film is supposed to be a bit of a mystery/whodunnity/crime case sort of a film, which is something I also love! So far, Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin are the only announced voice actors.

‘Frozen 2’ Confirmed!

In what comes as no surprise to anyone, Disney has officially announced that they’re developing a sequel to their billion-dollar film, Frozen. The original team is set to develop the sequel. For more information, check out the Variety article here.

I personally am not excited about this. I feel Frozen should remain its own movie and not have a sequel, much less a sequel in the official Canon. But, the original movie was a huge success, so there’s no reason why this film will become a flop for Disney.

Are you all excited for this? Let me know in the comments below!

My Thoughts: BIG HERO 6 (2014)

Well, it’s the review that you all have been waiting for: my review of the 54th Disney Canon film that won the Best Animated Feature Film Oscar in the 87th Academy Awards, Big Hero 6!

"Uh...we really weren't waiting for this review, to be honest." — “Uh…we really weren’t waiting for this review, to be honest.”

Too bad. Here’s my review!

Disney Wins Animation Awards at 87th Academy Awards!

Well, the 87th Academy Awards were yesterday and you can check the list of winners here. In terms of animation, Disney won the Best Animated Short and Best Animated Film Oscars for Feast and Big Hero 6, respectively.

I congratulate Disney on this, although I was sure that How to Train Your Dragon 2 was going to win. In the end, I only correctly predicted 12 Oscars this year and couldn’t beat my high score last year of 14. Oh well, there’s always next year, God-willing!

Disney Canon-Forgotten/Minor Characters #53: The Bishop of Arendelle

Well, it’s been long enough since the movie’s come out that I feel I should do a Forgotten/Minor Characters post on Disney’s 53rd animated feature, Frozen. For a brief summary of the movie (for like the 2 of you who haven’t seen it) and my thoughts of it, check out my review here.

My Thoughts: PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE (2014)

In 2013, Disney released their film, Planes, theatrically. Sort of a Cars in the air, it proved to be a modest success. Disney was so sure of this happening that they even planned a release date for the sequel BEFORE the first one was even released! And it’s this sequel we’re looking at today!

‘Big Hero 6’ Proves to Be a Hero at the Box Office!

Disney’s 54th film in their animated Canon, Big Hero 6, has proven to be a hero at the box office by not only topping the weekend box office, but becoming the 2nd highest opening weekend for an animated Disney film with $56 million!

Have you seen the film? How was it? How was it compared to Frozen, Wreck-It Ralph, and Tangled? Let me know in the comments!

Robin Williams Dead At 63!

In news that I’m still in shock over, beloved actor/comedian, Robin Williams has died at the age of 63! The cause of death is suspected to be suicide, but hasn’t been stated for certain.

‘Planes: Fire & Rescue’ Opens Up At #3!

Whether you enjoyed last year’s Planes or not, Disney was adamant about making a sequel to it that they even planned the sequel’s release date before the original was even released!

And now, the sequel has been released and opened up at the #3 slot in the weekend box office. The film, which features our main character thrust into the world of fire and rescue missions, made a weekend gross of $18 million. With a budget of $50 million, the film could probably still make some sort of profit.

I’ll probably check the film out when it comes to DVD because it actually interests me more than the original, but not so much as to see it in the theaters. Also, Ed Harris is one of the voices and he’s always awesome!

Have you seen the film? If so, how was it? If not, do you want to see it? Let me know in the comments below!

First Trailer For ‘Big Hero 6’

THE FIRST TRAILER FOR BIG HERO 6 HAS BEEN RELEASED:

What do you all think? I know that it’s still somewhat of a teaser, but I absolutely LOVE it! I LOVE Baymax’s voice and his sense of humor! I LOVE the colors/animation/design of the world they live in! And I LOVE the absolutely terrifying villain who looks like a mix between Bane and the Phantom of the Opera!
